Benevento Pizza Cafe

Better pick up their game. Pizza was supposed to be ready at 6:45. Had to pay right away. Waited until 7:10 for my food. Got home, with what I thought was a mushroom and sausage pizza. No mushrooms. Really upset, don’t think I will return, not worth it.

We ordered delivery. I asked for light sauce, and extra cheese on our pizza. When our pizza was delivered there was a significant amount more sauce than cheese. We also ordered wings. Apparently boneless wings means chicken nuggets. I’ve never seen a chicken wing in the shape of a square unless it came from Tyson or Perdue. Not to mention they were very dry, and tasteless. Thoroughly less than impressed. Don’t waste your time, or money.

Great pizza! We order 4 round pizzas and mild wings for my birthday party and were really happy! We had never tried their pizza before but since my birthday was on Sunday and most pizza places were closed we decided to give them a try. We ended up getting a plain cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and veggie. Everyone at the party thought the pizza was great. I had the veggie pizza which was perfect! The crust was thin on the bottom but on the ends fluffy and crisp, with that doughy goodness-​not under done or over done. Sauce was decent and there was just the right amount of cheese. They didn’t skimp on the veggies either. It also wasn’t overly greasy. I would definitely order pizza from here again!

I’ve had pizza from all over the Schenectady area and so far all the ones I tried suck except this place. In fact their pizza was really good!

I have still to taste something that I do not like. Everything is delicious and the offer Veterans Discounts!

We decided to get off of the highway on our way home to NYC, partly to check out the Aviation Museum on RT 50. We stumbled on this place, and were very glad we did.
The subs were huge and homemade. They even bake their own bread. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We would certainly stop here again when we are in the area.
For my travelling musician friends, if you’re taking the back road route to or from Caffe Lena, stop here for lunch. Good prices, great food (and enough left over for a second meal :) and the service was friendly.

On the way back to Manhattan from Saratoga Springs, we decided to stop there for a quick lunch. The garlic bread was homemade, warm, yummy and garlicky as should be.
The hot subs we had (meatball and eggplant) were HUGE and delicious.
If it were not 2.5 hours away from home, we’d eat there regularly. They deliver but not as far as Manhattan!!!

Tried their pizza wing special the other night. Delivery seemed to take forever and the food was not very hot when it arrived (we live about 1mi away). The pizza was weird. Dried out and crunchy like eating a cornmeal coated cracker topped with sauce and cheese. Crust was inedible, the sauce was too thick and was more like pasta sauce than pizza sauce. So needless to say we did not even care to save the remaining slices. The wings were good and juicy, the bbq sauce was sweet and sticky but only 10 per order — noticed they charged extra for a few carrot chips and a small container of blue cheese! The best part of our order was the $ 3 fried dough topped with butter and powdered sugar — not enough to earn our business. One day we had ordered a sub from here the bread was so tough the filling of the sandwich would simply slide out the other side. Not sure what the deal is with this place which advertises the «best food in town» but somebody needs to give them a reality check — cause they are not even close!

I have eaten here on multiple occasions.
Their chicken parm dinner was top notch. The only other chicken parm in the area that I’ve tasted which can compete would be the chicken parm from Macerola’s Pizza Gram Plus.
The pizza on the other hand is probably the best in the capital region, if not upstate NY. I’ve had their plain cheese pizza, as well as pizza with various toppings, it was always superb. The crust has been perfectly crisp and clearly homemade every time. The sauce was also clearly homemade and very flavorful every time I’ve gone so far (not just the pizza sauce, but the sauce for the chicken parm too). One of my favorite pizzas so far (and I think their specialty) was the Margherita pizza. The mozerella was very good and fresh, and the basil and tomatoes tasted so good you would think they were picked fresh a garden in back of the store.
The only thing that may be lacking is the seating for dining in. However, the place seems to be chiefly a pizza place, and geared toward takeout dining, and the seating is on par with other similar establishments.

After passing by this place almost all the time, I finally decided to stop by and check it out for lunch today. When I got there it was about 12:15 and it was pretty dead, but shortly after I showed up it got really busy.
I decided to try a couple slices of pizza and their garlic parm wings.
The pizza is pretty good. It’s nothing phenomenal, and it may have actually been a little better had it been fresher. I got the last two slices of a pie that looked like it had been sitting out for a while. But still, it was good.
The wings… very good. They serve their wings crispy, and it’s perfect. They also use some decent sized wings, so you get a good amount of meat on them. It’s not like the tiny, scrawny crap wings that you can get at some other places.
Some miscellaneous things to note:
— They sell RC Cola products. Booyah.
— They accept Visa/​MasterCard, but charge a $ 1 processing fee for orders that are less than $ 5. If your order is more than $ 5, you don’t have to pay this processing fee.
— They bake their own bread and rolls, so everything about your sandwiches/​subs here is fresh. You can buy a loaf of their Italian bread for about $ 2.50.
— They also make their own meatballs, so you’re not getting that frozen Sysco stuff. I didn’t try them, though, so I don’t know how big/​good they are.
— There is room to sit down and eat there, but it’s not huge and can probably fill up pretty easily.
I’m glad I finally stopped here for lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back.
