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.

The pizza was good, but nothing else there was. The 2…read morebooths tables were filthy. And they wobbled horribly. The booth seats have gapping holes in them. 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.

After being ranked 4th among Yelp's Top 50 Most Prolific Elites of 2025, a distinction recognizing my consistent community engagement and high-quality contributions, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and establishments, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to go back and write follow-up reviews on those places that impressed me the most during 2025, and Grace's Place Pizzeria, located in the Grandin Village neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example of one of them. Located in the heart of Grandin Village, one of Roanoke's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, and right next to the historic Grandin Theatre, this family-owned and operated pizza shop, by local residents Ruben Liendo and his wife and general manager Alaina for over 22 years now, is that kind of a place that if you visit once you would want to come back forever. Today, I happened to be walking on the sidewalk of Grandin Rd (which is the Main Street of Grandin Village) to check out a new business that's about to open in a few days, and as I walked by Grace's Place Pizzeria, Matthew, one of the servers who was just arriving recognized me and immediately said hello. He asked how I was doing and showed me the newest creation he had painted on one of the windows of the restaurant. It was colorful pizza wings, for people to pose in front of them and have a picture taken and share it in social media. What a creative idea I thought and told him, and walked on to my errand. After I finished my errand I decided to return to Grace's Place and have an early dinner there, now that it wasn't crowded as usually it gets when I visit the place in prime time and on the weekends. Matthew greeted and welcomed me as I entered the door and graciously took and hanged my coat on the wall coat rack. He invited me to take a seat at the table of my choice and I went and sat at one of their comfortable booths. To drink I ordered a Pink Lemonade. To dine I ordered a Side Salad with their Special dressing to begin with. As my main entrée I ordered a 10" Pizza Suprema. As I waited I enjoyed my refreshing Iced Pink Lemonade. Then my Side Salad arrived with the amazing in-house made salad dressing. It was delicious. The timing was perfect. Soon after I had finished my salad and the empty salad bowl removed, my Pizza Suprema arrived. One look and I could tell it was the authentic handcrafted pizza this casual Italian restaurant is so well known for. It looked spectacular and tasted even better. Starting with its unique tasting dough and fresh toppings, cooked to perfection. They take their time making their pizzas, but they come out perfect everytime. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality food. For dessert I had their Tiramisu. It was so rich in texture and in flavor, placed on top of a plate with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. What a magic touch ending for an extraordinary dining experience. My server Matthew handed me my coat and walked me out to the door where I asked him to take a picture of me in front of the now famous Pizza Wings, and he did with pleasure. What can I say, if you haven't done so yet, go try this place out, and you'll never forget that I told you.

During that entire time, no one checked on us or provided an update on our order. After 45 minutes, I went to ask for an ETA and was told by the hostess, Anita, that she had "no idea." Ten minutes later, I asked again, and she checked with the pizza makers, who said everything would be ready in five minutes. We explained that the only reason we ordered the appetizer was because we were hungry and expected it to come out before the main meal. Since it clearly wasn't coming first, we let her know we no longer wanted the appetizer. Ten minutes after the promised "five minutes," I went back to ask for another update. At that point, the hostess stated that our entire order had been cancelled and no food would be coming out. I explained there had been a misunderstanding...we only wanted to cancel the appetizer, not the entire order. We had been sitting there for over an hour waiting, so obviously we had not intended to cancel everything. The hostess repeatedly cut me off, insisted we had cancelled the whole order, and was extremely rude throughout the interaction. She then told us our food was sitting behind the counter if we wanted it. When she rang us up, she initially charged only for the appetizer part of the order. After I clarified again that we still wanted the pizzas and pasta, she re-rang the order for over $50. To make matters worse, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot (over 80 degrees inside.) My toddler was so hungry from the long wait that my sister had to walk down the street to Food Lion to buy her something to eat while we waited. The most frustrating part was that no one ever apologized, acknowledged the excessive wait, or seemed concerned about what had happened. After all of that, we finally got the food home only to discover that it was both cold and burnt. Delays happen, and we would have understood if the restaurant had simply communicated with us. Instead, we experienced poor service, rude interactions, no accountability, and disappointing food!

When we arrived the owner greeted us with a warm welcome, took us to our table, and handed us the menu. We ordered a 14 in Steak BBQ pizza to eat and Iced water to drink. When the pizza arrived the pie was fresh and soft, the cheese very cheesy, the BBQ sause just right, and the steak cut in little pieces. After we finished eating it we felt full but not too stuffy. We then each ordered a slice of Strawberry Cheesecake. It was soft and creamy and the strategy sauce on top was very sweet and tasty. The owner was very friendly and came by to check on us at the right times and to fill our glasses with water. This is a wonderful place for when you want to have a very special, one of a kind pizza, or other items, in a relaxed environment, with excellent customer service.

Strike one, but again, local, so I decided to overlook the extreme heat and hope for the best with the food and service. The server/counter person was not very personable, but not outright rude...indifferent might be a good term...but I contributed it to the heat. Strike two, because a welcoming environment is important. Upon ordering, the server brought out plates, utensils and drinks. Two of the three plates were dirty and there was something floating in my drink. Strike three without question, but the final never again came when there was no care or concern from the staff at all that their dishes were not clean and there were foreign objects in the drinks. Lastly, after a very long wait, the food arrived. It was just ok, not worth the heat, the filthy environment, the dirty dishes, the excessive wait, or the foreign objects floating in the drinks. I generally love to shop and eat local, but it will not here.
