Stopped by for a large slice after a show at the State Theater. It was exactly what we wanted! If you are looking for a NY style slice, look no further. read more

Benny Leone’s - Spafford - Pizza Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Came here for late night snack and got a single slice of pizza big enough to feed a family of four. Reall enjoyed it.

Disappointed I couldn't order delivery by calling them, still opted to order through doordash. We ended up getting the pepperoni and sausage. We rallied around the box dunked it in some garlic sauce and dug in. It was a a smash hit with our family of 5. Nobody was talking just absolutely getting at it. We had no slices that were left untouched. Will definitely order again! read more

Benny Leone’s - 28" Pie Pepperoni and Sausage, hand for a reference - Pizza Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

State College, for being a large college town, struggles in the world of good pizza. There's not much to rave about but Benny's makes a good attempt at fixing that problem. They are a small shop on Fraser St. with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Parking would be on a side street or a nearby parking garage with a little walk to make it here. They make large pies (28") with slices advertised as one (1) being equal to a standard four (4) from national chains. I will say it was a big slice and one was all I needed for around $6. Their full pies are around $45-50 and I believe contain 8 slices. That's not cheap but per their logic that's about 4 - commercial chain 14" pizza's. Benny's is a fairly new establishment and it had a good line at lunchtime. From what I could tell they pre make their pies and add toppings per order for single slices. A fresh pie would definitely be better. My pepperoni slice came out piping hot (burned my mouth off). They have a good assortment of toppings and hot sauce for everyone's use. The pizza was crispy, which I love, and it was good. It had a good sweet sauce with some strong cheese. I love pizza, and I may be ranking this more globally, but locally it's a great stop. read more

Benny Leone’s - One slice of pepp - Pizza Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

This was my favorite pizza in college (chain in the VA/NC area), and it's a dream having one in State College. Cheese slices are massive and only $5, toppings $6, specialty (rotates monthly) $7 and one is more than enough per person. Everything comes out fresh, crispy, and hot. Inside is small, but there's enough seats for a quick meal. The food came out fast, the staff was friendly and helpful. We're finally getting a place to fill the pizza void that is State College and I can't wait to keep coming back. read more

This is a very small pizza shop that's brand new to State College. They serve 14" slices, cut from 28" pies at a very reasonable price. They call it a Virginia slice and claim it's 3-4 times the size of a regular slice, but really it's 1.5-2 times the size of a Brothers' pizza slice. Of course they offer both dine in and carry out, but they have very limited seating due to the shop size. There is countertop seating, but a lot of people waiting for their order will be using it. The crust is fantastic! It's a mix between NY-style and crispy, thin crust. It's like a NY-style slice with a flaky, slightly crispy bottom. So far I'm loving it. Their cheese is pretty good, which they claim is a custom blend. I do detect a variety of cheese in there, but it's difficult to place. There is a bit more tang than your normal Mozzarella blends. Perhaps some Provolone, brick cheese, and may be a hint of Fontina, Asiago, Parmesan/Romano? It's tough to tell, but it is unique and tasty. Unfortunately, I was really let down that their pepperoni wasn't 'cupping' pepperoni. On their web site they show photos with cupping pepperoni and tout all of their ingredient sources. Honestly, the pepperoni wasn't any better than prepackaged Hormel. But don't let that discourage you, as you absolutely have to try it just for the unique crust. And $5 for cheese and $6 for pepperoni or sausage slices are good deals. read more

Benny Leone’s - Pepperoni Slice - Pizza Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

I never leave one star reviews like this, but I can truly say that this place had the most burnt pizza l've ever tasted. It's actually unbelievable. When I tried to bite into the upper section of the pizza (not just crust) it was rock hard, so crunchy I couldn't even chew it! I shouldn't have been served something like this. It's unfortunate that I was served at all. The pizza wasn't even warm; practically inedible, it was very bad. I have a feeling that this place is good on certain nights, but tonight was not nice. read more

Bad cheese,horrible sauce, bad bread, bad service. Benny Leone's is....bad. Would never recommend or go again.

Great food, good customer service, and the employees were very helpful with helping me decide on which slice I wanted.

Best pizza in State College and it's not close. Do not be misled at $5 per slice. It is more than double the size of any other slice read more

Benny Leone’s - Pizza Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

The pizza is too variable. We came here right after they opened and loved the pizza. However, the past couple of times I came here, the pizza was unacceptable. One time, it was an old slice that was reheated and tasted very rubbery. The last time I came here, the slice was terribly burnt. They haven't figured out consistency yet, unfortunately. read more

Ended up needing a late night food stop when we got in to town - hands down the best pizza we have had in State College! We will be back!

Great pizza ... sauce, toppings, crust, the whole package. Friendly staff. And oh yeah, HUGE slices

Love Benny's! They're a fun and unique addition to the downtown pizza scene in state college, and serve MASSIVE slices that are a great value. The vibe is that of a fresh New York slice, which is amazing. The staff are also super nice and easy to talk to, and genuinely want input on rotating special flavors. They're also open late, which is great for when I get off work or am out on a night out. 10/10 read more
