I've always been a Benny's fan, ever since I started living in Norfolk VA in 2017. the slices are huge, but they are great value for solid quality. I came at 10:30 on a Friday night. I would say this location was fine, not the best one I've been to though. The pepperoni slice took about 4-5 minutes to come out of the oven. It tasted fine, about the same taste that I remembered. they keep various toppings out such as parm, oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. The staff seemed a little bit tired and disinterested. A smile would be nice. And they did need to restock drinks, the fridge was maybe a third empty. Also there were a couple of freaky acting customers that late at night, so plan the visit accordingly! read more

First, the service was friendly and fast. They also had some terrific old school country music playing over the speakers. Now the bad. The pizza is just not good. It lacks any sort of seasoning or flavor. It tasted like I was just eating cooked dough with a hint of cheese and pepperoni. Half way through I asked myself why I was still taking bites and tossed the rest away. read more

I came here with my mom and my daughter. The service was great it was fast. The food was very hot. The slices are gigantic. The pizzas are thin so if you like thin pizza, this will be your place. they do have bathrooms for customers, which can be a little bit more clean but overall it was a great shop they have seating inside and outside cheese slice are 5 and basically every other piece is 6.50 the Joe mango lemonade was very good I didn't get a picture sadly and my mom had the Joe half and half tea and lemonade she said it was delicious will be back read more

Never have I ever continued to talk about a place as much as I've talked about Benny Capitale's. After a recommendation from a bartender, we walked in, late at night, and left quickly with a giant piece of amazing pizza. They had a variety of toppings (parm, red pepper, and basalmic) and pizza slices that are ready to go. Service was quick, kind, and the place was easy to find. If you're looking for late night pizza, Benny Capitale's is the place in Raleigh. read more

This location has went down and I mean fast. I went one evening about 7 pm and it was not what I was expecting. The staff informed me that they didn't have boxes and it appears that they haven't had them in a good while. The kitchen area was filthy, it did not appear that the staff was cleaning as they go. The dining area was quite dirty as well, bathroom out of order. It was just not a pleasant environment that I would want food from so I quickly made a u-turn and went somewhere else. read more

If you're craving a late night snack after a long night of drinking in Downtown Raleigh then Bennys got you covered. They are known for their ginormous slices of pizza and are open late. I always end up going to Bennys late night after being out with friends having a couple of drinks. The pizza itself is not out of the world but it gets the job done for a late night meal. read more

Massive slices of pizza with a crispy and relatively thin crust. IMO, you're best served by purchasing by the slice. A single slice should suffice. Two slices will certainly satisfy any hunger. As with any pizza, dine in is also recommended. With that beingbdaid and should you choose to takeout, their largest pizza 28" ranging from $36 - $42 dollars. Dining room is fairly small but should seat about 20. There's also a cooler or two near the register with assorted beverages. You can also dine outside on the sidewalk. read more

After the rave reviews and hype, I was expecting a lot from Benny's. What I found was great service and not so great pizza. It reminds me of the spots I would go to after having a few too many drinks at the club and wanting to soak them up with alcohol. The slices are huge and go for just $5-$7; but the price reflects the poor quality of ingredients. I was very underwhelmed with my garlic mushroom. One, the mushrooms just sat on top of the pizza--literally. They were not cooked in at all and were still very chewy. There was no garlic whatsoever, and the cheese was dry and stiff. Thankfully, their balsamic helped with this, which was surprisingly good. They should sell that balsamic! Three stars for the kind service and the chill music and vibe. I will probably not be back. read more

It was very busy after Dreamville Festival but they moved efficiently and we got our pizza in a reasonable wait time considering how many people they had to serve. It was inexpensive for a huge slice ($5 for cheese, $6 for pepperoni). It was really great quality that tasted amazing: not too saucy, very cheesy that goes to the top of the crust, and good amount of pepperoni. It was a very satisfying late night option. read more

A very disappointing and disgusting experience. Went on Sunday night at 6:00pm. When we walked in, one person was filling the drink cooler, the other behind the counter on his phone. The place was empty. After ordering we tried to find a clean space to sit. ALL the tables (and there were only 5) were dirty. The two by the door dirty and covered in graffitI. None of the napkin holders were filled and no Parmesan , S&P or garlic on the tables. The one Parmesan on the counter was empty and dirty.The ginormous pizza was served in a timely manner, very hot. The pizza was okay, but not at all worth the surroundings or the price. read more

What a fantastic hole in the wall pizza joint mainly selling pizza by the slice in downtown Raleigh. They aren't big on advertising the man working behind the counter said. Their existence is owed to the word of mouth of their patrons. They have two options on sizing here: pizza by the slice(a huge slice), or an unheard of 28" pizza. It's huge!! I personally had the pepperoni and it was absolutely delicious! This place is not a head turner on appearance by any means but the pizza will blow you away. Cooked fresh to order and tastes amazing!

So, I love all Benny's pizza locations. However, this one continues to struggle with the order process and customer service/general friendliness. Ordered online through Yelp, paid and received an order number. Yet arrived and guess what, no order. This location needs some great leadership and training on basics like friendliness. Maybe engage your customers. Not asking for anything ground breaking. Start simple, how can I help or I can take your order. Try something vs. just standing there waiting for the customer to know if they should just start ordering. Finally the phone number for this location listed on multiple sites states "voicemail" hasn't been set up and that is the only option you have. I think this may be intentional at this point. I think they are purposely trying to not get any business. Fingers crossed someone who cares at all about their business reads this. read more

Not sure what's been going on here lately. Pizza was outstanding when it initially opened. Now they're routinely serving up consistently bad pizza - crust turns into wet tissue paper as you get closer to the front of the slice. Way too much cheese or sauce, and then way too little cheese or sauce. One or more employees in the back need to relearn how to make a proper pizza that lives up to Benny's standards here and elsewhere. read more

The restaurant gave me and my husband champagne to try to comp this I suppose but would've been better if they could've seated us all together. We started with the crab cakes and arancini. The crab cakes were fine. The otter crust was crunchy and perfect. The arancini was stuffed with cheese, rice, and meat and it was delicious. They were also crunchy on the outside but so soft and good on the inside. I had the tagliatelle. The noodles were prepared perfectly. It was almost as if I was in Italy. Something I noticed in Italy was that the noodles were never cooked too softly. They were still more firm but edible and delicious and that's how they were prepared at this restaurant in Raleigh.

Our new server had no idea we already ordered and was a little behind coming to our table for water refills. Despite that, we were in and out of the restaurant within 45 minutes.

10/10 experience as always. Still my go to spot every time I travel to Raleigh for work. I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!! The food is awesome here!!! They also have more budget friendly lunch options too- just give them a call.

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while with my family but we all left a little…read moredisappointed. The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

Bottom line: Lunch at Flour & Barrel was great! Small but nice selection of items on their lunch…read moremenu. The Radiatore small pasta was delicious and satisfying while just the right size for lunch, adding chicken for a protein boost. My friend enjoyed the Chicken Parm Sando and Kardashian Chopped Salad. Good service in a surprisingly well decorated atmosphere, I would come back to Flour & Barrel for more Italian goodness! The Deets: I wanted to catch up with a friend over a weekday lunch and we scoped out Flour & Barrel in DTR to do just that. When entering in from the pretty nondescript exterior/entrance on the corner of North and Harrington Streets, it becomes a colorful well decorated bistro/bar type feeling inside which is welcoming. We were shown to our table next to one of the wide windows facing North St, I liked this table with lots of natural light and yes, I am a people watcher as well. The server took our drink orders and asked if we had any questions about the menu. The lunch menu is pretty succinct but well represented, offering focaccia sandwiches (sandos), small pastas (pasta handmade in-house), and salads. It also has a wine and craft beer selection also if needed. My friend went with the Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Sando (has pomodoro, mozzarella, and basil) with Kardashian Chopped Salad (made with romaine, salami, provolone, piquillo peppers, artichoke, and garbanzo) for a side while I chose the Radiatore small pasta selection. The Radiatore is described on the menu as "our version of carbonara but creamier / guanciale / egg" so naturally it caught my eye. I am usually pretty cut and dry about wanting carbonara to be the traditional type but since they stated upfront that this is their version, I was willing to give it a go. I am glad I did, as this pasta dish was great. The serving was the perfect size for lunch, plus I was able to add chicken to it as well. The sauce was creamy and delicious, going well with the al dente pasta. This meal was most satisfying and I would love to get this one again in the future. My friend really enjoyed the sando so much, he had originally planned to eat half and take the other half home...that didn't work out the way he planned as he devoured the whole sandwich there, it was that good. He also enjoyed the salad as well. Our server did well checking on us and making sure we had what we needed. I am so glad we decided to try out Flour & Barrel for lunch, it worked out perfectly and was a very enjoyable meal.

Omgg! You MUST go to Flour & Barrel if you are visiting or live in Raleigh. First- I read about…read morethis place and its focus on homemade bread and pasta. Literally my two fav things in life. I also read about the restaurant guru, Anthony, who was there and came to chat with us in person. Such a nice and friendly guy. Lastly, of course I was excited to try this place with its ties to Top Chef. Shoutout to Chef Katsuji Tanabe. Ok now about the food. AMAZING. You must try the table bread and the pasta. We had to try the Radiatore- carbonara yum. And of course the meatball. So good. This place is meant for sharing since they are small plates. I wish I could have tried more items on the menu! Our server, Autumn, was a delight too! Thanks for the great food and hospitality!!
