Um… maybe I wasn't drunk enough? Or maybe I should have been more adventurous and ordered something beyond a pepperoni slice. Want a quick slice late night between stops, I guess this place works. But the pizza was just okay. I ended up handing over my slice to a friend to finish. But two slices and a drink for $7?? You can't really complain!
Came to Ben's literally two hours after spending $70 bucks at a hip neighborhood spot and left starving. By the time we got to Ben's we were pretty drunk, so who knows how good/bad the pizza is, but it was cheap and delicious in that moment, probably one the happiest moment of my life. I kid I kid. My buddies got plain old cheese pizza, and I went with the BBQ chicken, which had a weird flavor and I regretted my choice, but what you gonna do!
Huge NY slice. You have to stand and at it because no place to sit, but that's part of teh fun because NYU and other assorted people are crowding by. It's really good, like a traditional NY slice should be. Small and dirty and good.

There's nothing better than a drunken afternoon slice fresh out of the oven. The cheese was melted, the crust was crunchy but not very doughy. The sauce was thin without freshness or sweetness. I am sure I will pass by and try it again.
Ben's pizzeria is my go to spot. I love the variety they have here, as opposed to Artichoke down the street.
Get the Grandma slice!! It's amazing and you will not regret it. I also recommend the everything pizza, baked ziti, and the classic flavors.
A slice here isn't necessarily cheap, but it's better than dollar pizza. The service is good too. The people working are friendly and they gave me free garlic knots once too. Good times.
Great pizza place. I like to stick to plain cheese. We buy it every week for a club I'm in and the guys are always super nice and friendly. Definitely better in the pies than by the slice, and the garlic knots are awesome.
The pizza is okay, nothing out of this world, but certainly not bad. It's worth checking out as it is one of the more famous pizza places in the area – get a picture of yourself in front of the sign like the opening credits of Louie. Louis CK is known to come here regularly, but you'd have to hang out a lot to see him. For a more unique and memorable pizza experience in the area, I would recommend just going a few doors down to Artichoke Pizza.
The pizza here is edible and the baked ziti pizza is even good. The restaurant is small and cash only. If it is not terrible outside, walk to Washington Square Park to enjoy you pizza there.
