Benny's Pizzeria - Stone Ridge

If there was a way to give negative stars, I would. It is a typical local pizzeria, EXCEPT the owner is stuck up, marginally racist towards people of color and EXTREMELY SARCASTICALLY RUDE. My friends and I (7 of us) stopped by here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We got there, fairly empty, we took a seat, decided to place our order. One of my friends went over and was listing the things we wanted to get, when the owner asked him to repeat cause he didn’t “understand” simple spoken english. We placed the order and waited. It had been around half an hour after which we got quite hungry considering we were “stopping by” mid trip for a “quick bite” , I went over to ask “How long would our food take?” (it was only three different pastas and a salad with onion rings) a fair question considering everyone who came after us, got their orders , some even left. The person at the cash register responded with an arrogant “You see my guys are cooking” I asked again, “Can you please tel l me a general estimate as to how much time it might take?” WITH A SMILE. POLITELY. ASKING SINCE WE WERE HUNGRY. the guy responded with a very cocky “TWO DAYS OKAY? GO SIT” and pointed his finger at my table. We were all aghast. Very disappointing at how poorly they treated us since we were a group of 7 brown people, just chilling and trying to get our food and leave. If you aren’t tolerant of basic customer questions then don’t have a restaurant. if you aren’t tolerant of people of colour THEN WRITE AT THE ENTRANCE THAT YOU ARENT POLITE TO ANYONE OTHER THAN WHITE PEOPLE. We are in 2023 and it was horrible how they treated just our table quite rudely. The prices were high considering the quality and taste of food. JUST WONT RECOMMEND. I know the owner is going to respond rudely to this review as I have read some previous low reviews on Google for this place. But I HAD to write about it. The place has a newspaper article from many decades ago that read “this place serves kindness” or something the irony has me cracking up.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We called to order at 7:02. Ordered an appetizer special, and a pizza wirh all pepperoni, half ricotta and meatball. Didn’t think this would be that complicated. Well I guess it was since our pizza didn’t get delivered until 8:49!! We live 8 minutes from bennys… Ok so finally we get our food and it’s cold!! Had to microwave the appetizer and put pizza in the oven. Then, one of the mozerlla sticks didn’t have cheese in it!! Also, the pizza only had 2 slices of just pepperoni when the entire half was meant to. If you’re going to take almost 2 hours one would think the order would at least be correct! And at only 8 minutes from the store, why is it cold?! If I could give negative 5 stars I would. 0/10 will not go again.

This place has the best pizza. It has been the better part of a decade since I have had this wonderful pizza. I moved out of the area but this used to be a normal dinning spot for me. I was back visiting family and this place was on my bucket list. The pricing is good. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and efficient. Honestly when I ate here it was if nothing changed. I mean this in 100 percent positive way. What they have works and works well. You will not be disappointed if you are looking good pizza.

I ordered a Turkey sub. On their website, it says all subs come with lettuce, tomato, onions, and your choice of dressing. I ordered via phone and the kid didn’t sound like he was very smart. These kids that work there literally gave me only a Turkey sub. This was an almost $13 sub. Never even asked if I wanted anything additional. Seriously? Who orders only Turkey on bread???

I really like Benny's pizza. I work in Kingston and I live in Napanoch so I can call on the way home and it's ready just when I hit the halfway point. The only thing to keep in mind is the prices on Google are not accurate. So if you go by that it may be a little higher than you expect.The taste and freshness of ingredients made up for it. Their meat Supreme Is the best around and the staff is always friendly and fast.
