But the recipes have changed and the quality of the ingredients is sub par at best now. It was a simple cheese pizza (I had to order a large because I was told I couldn't order a medium on this particular day, strange). The crust was like cardboard, the sauce tasted like a can of tomato paste with no seasoning whatsoever. The cheese was not real cheese because despite being cooked it still was in its shredded form and not even melted, just sitting on top of the sauce in an oily sheet. I hardly see anyone eating inside this place, the roanoke location seems to be busier but the ingredient quality must be improved.

And Benny Adelina's Pizza is the perfect example. One of the most loved foods in America is the pizza. As a matter of fact, according to a most recent poll, pizza is officially America's favorite food. And the most popular pizza here is the Pepperoni Pizza. But where can you find the largest Pepperoni Pizza in America? One of the places is Benny Adelina's, located at the West Lake Shopping Center next to the Kroger in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. Benny Adelina's is known for its oversized New York-style pizza. The New York style pizza is characterized by its thin, crisp-edged yet pliable crust, and is the dominant style for slices, because of being ideal for folding and eating on the go.  A whole pizza at Benny Adelina's is 28 inches in diameter, which is described as being like the size of "3 normally large pizzas". One slice from a 28" Benny Adelina's pizza is considered a full meal. For context, standard pizza sizes typically range from 6-8 inches for a personal size to over 18 inches for extra-large. Benny Adelina's opened in the Summer of 2014 and is part of a New York-style pizza chain founded in 2011 by two Virginia Tech Alumni in Blacksburg, Virginia. Benny's aim was to be more than just a pizza shop, but to become a central gathering spot for students and residents in college towns and revitalized downtown areas. Benny Adelina's, besides being the home of its large 28-inch pizzas, it is one of the homes of the famous "Virginia's Slice". A slice of pizza so big that you need two paper plates to be able to serve it. Yet a substantial slice designed for a quick and satisfying meal, at an affordable price. A friend of mine invited me to Benny Adelina's for pizza and what I found there was more than just the largest pizza in America and the famous "Virginia's Slice." I found the realization of the dream of the pizza chain founders'. I found how a slice of one of the best pizzas that I have ever tasted and seen being made, cooked and served by friendly and knowledgeable staff who provided exceptional customer service, had become a gathering spot for people of all ages and relationships, spending quality time together, enjoying an exciting meal. When we arrived at the West Lake Shopping Center, the place looked very clean and well-maintained. In front of the restaurant it had a large light blue sign that read "PIZZA." Then on the window next to the door it had engraved over a shape of a pizza design: Benny Adelina's ... Home of the Virginia Slice." There was an outdoor dining area with round tables with blue colored umbrellas and chairs.There was another outdoor dining area with nicer outdoor furniture under the porch ceiling. Inside, the restaurant was very clean and yet rustic looking at the same time. Again, very well maintained. It had tables and chairs throughout, and was decorated with a Community Bulletin Board, a collage on a wall with photos taken at the restaurant of customers with their giant slice of pizza, and other framed articles about the pizza chain and about the restaurant. As we arrived, two young ladies, Paige and Makenzie gave us a warm and friendly welcome and took our order from behind the ordering counter. My friend ordered one of their special of the day slice and I ordered a pepperoni slice and asked if they could make it pepperoni and mushroom (my favorite) and they most graciously complied. I was impressed with the quality of the dough and of the ingredients used for the toppings. My friend treated the first round of a slice and a Dr Pepper and I liked it so much that I treated a second round. By the time we had finished eating the second round I was extremely full. I don't know how one could eat a whole pizza. Then my friend treated for ice-cream sandwiches for dessert. What a wonderful meal we had. I highly recommend this place for not only the largest slice of pizza you will ever have but also for the best pizza, an excellent customer service, and an amazing dining experience in a fun and relaxing environment.

Actually all of the tables were wobbling. Finally found one that wouldn't spill the drinks. All of the tables needed cleaning. The chairs wobbled too. Simple fixes that can & should be done. Sitting at the high bar wasn't available because the staff were using it to stack pizza boxes. There is very little light in there so having the walls & ceiling painted so dark isn't helpful or pleasant. Makes the place feel dirty. The decor is an afterthought. Where the vintage albums can be cool. There's no rhyme or reason to how they're hung. The 3 person staff were rather inattentive to us. And we were the only people in there at the time. I gave a rating of 3 stars because the pizza is really good. It's just a shame that the restaurant isn't up to par. Everything is an easy fix. Someone only needs to care enough.

As soon as I entered this Pizza Shop, I was very impressed by its cleanliness and cute interior design of the place, as well as by the flow of satisfied customers eating inside the restaurant, and others making Take Out orders. A friendly young lady greeted and welcomed me at the counter and explained to me a little about the restaurant, its owner, and its menu. It was a family-owned restaurant and the owner was Egyptian. They have a variety of excellent items on the menu but they are best known for their pizzas. I ordered a House Salad and a small Supreme Pizza. And for dessert I ordered a Tiramisu. They were all delicious. The salad had fresh ingredients. The pizza crust was very good and the ingredients, especially the cheese were amazing. You could tell the owner/chef took pride in his cooking. This was actually the second time I've eaten from an Egyptian and both times they have far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place for its relaxing ambiance, amazingly delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent customer service.

As soon as I heard about it, I drove in my Lexus to go try it out.Their parking lot is in a narrow but long space on the right of the restaurant. At first I missed it and had to make a U turn and come back. But once I knew where it was I parked in the second parking space next to the restaurant. Their restaurant sign with their name and logo is painted on one of their large front windows in red and white colors. Inside, I found a clean, modern, space, with a casual decor and very welcoming atmosphere. A wall size, colorful painting made by one of their customers depicting life in a mountainous area contributes to the relaxed and friendly ambiance. A friendly and hospitable young lady, greeted me and had me take a seat at the table of my choice. She quickly took my drink order and since they had Pepsi products, I ordered a Pepsi. Their menu was very well designed and easy to read, with even a Lunch Specials section. Since I had come to try out their pizza, I ordered a House Salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a 12" Special Pizza. With pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, ground beef, onions and extra cheese. This pizza was sure to please. As I ate my salad, I admired the huge painting on the wall. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality of their food. The salad had fresh ingredients and lots of graded cheese on top, and with the dressing tasted amazing. There is nothing like a good salad to complement a good pizza. When the pizza arrived, my friendly server place it on a pizza stand, which brought it at a distance where I could observe the freshness of both the baked pizza dough and its ingredients. The pizza was both made and cooked well. I placed the first slice on my plate and took my first bite.The dough tasted like a fresh baguette right out of the oven. And all the fresh ingredients with the extra cheese tasted amazingly delicious. The only thing it could have benefited from was a little more of the sauce. I started eating it with a fork and knife but then, since it was real New York-style pizza, I grabbed the slices and ate them with my hands, the way New York-style pizzas should be eaten to appreciate them better. For dessert I had a slice of their Limoncello Cake. It is said great things come in small sizes, and this was a perfect example. Simply delicious. I definitely recommend this place for its relaxing, casual, ambiance, amazing food, and a friendly customer service, that make you feel at home, very typical of the Italian culture.
