Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Have been here a few times while attending university in the area and find Benny Tudino's Pizzeria to be mediocre for a few reasons: [Cons] - Pizza quality is average: crust is very thin and there is little oil on the pizza (either means the cheese is poor quality or tomato sauce does not have any olive oil in it). - Poor oven reheat quality for next day leftovers. A good pizza does not come out soggy but crispy on the outsides and gooey on the inside. Usually happens when the pizza was not made with enough dough. - Pizza is over-priced as I can generally get a Sicilian and regular pie for the cost of the Benny's House Pie and 2 of us can eat for 3 days. With the House Pie, its only good for 2 meals for 2 people. - There is no discount given if you buy a whole pie, instead its merely the same cost as buying by the slice. When coming with friends, ensure everyone purchases their own 2 slices and dont get a pie - they make you wait longer until they make it even though there are like 4 of them stacked keeping warm. - Staff is very rude telling people they dont care about their order and to get in line instead. At one point there was no line and they were still yelling at customers to get in line. The customer asked "what line?" and the staff said "then make a line!". Unbelievable. One time me and a friend challenged ourselves to eat a Whole House Pie between the two of us at a table. The waitress asked us if we were done and wanted the pizza packed after each and every slice we both completed. Think they just wanted to sit more people and get more money. [Pros] - They are open until 1AM when other pizza places are not. - Like stated earlier, pizza is average and could be much worse. - Pizza spices still available to take out patrons despite the busy nature of the place. - Located conveniently on Washington Street. - Late night when they are closing, you can get a stack of slices for a fistful of change (if you are lucky). Did this one time after stumbling drunk following an Alumni event and we had enough pizza for 3 days. Think it cost us less than 5$. To be honest, cant think of too many Pros for this place. Back in the day when 7th Star Pizza had their original recipe and cheaper prices, it was better. Uptown was also better when they first opened up and then they jacked prices, quality fell, and they stopped make pizzas with half/half toppings. Quite happy to have good pizza in Wallington, NJ. Only come here late at night when in Hoboken or NYC for an event and need to put food into my gut.

I lived my life thinking I would find the biggest slice of PIZZA someday, and I did it. Benny Tudino's slices are as big as my head and cheap too. Perfect.
(5)Wes D.
This may be, quite simply, the best pizza I have ever had in my life. I ordered a veggie pizza with extra cheese and, when I opened the box, I couldn't believe what I was looking at. To say that the pizza was piled high with veggies is an understatement. It had probably 2" of vegetables on it and the cheese was all over it. The veggies were fresh and were cooked perfectly. I'm so glad my friend suggested this place. Amazing!!!
(5)Tara P.
In my opinion, this is the best pizzeria in New Jersey.
(5)Richard H.
Cheap, delicious, and monstrous portions. Best pizza you'll have sober or not, and at $3 a slice, no one can argue.
(5)Jessica C.
I haven't had this pizza in years but whenever I'm back in Hoboken I make my way to get their pizza. They used to deliver their large slice of pizza in a box to my apartment. It was so delicious and so inexpensive. Authentic pizza for sure! This is a must when you visit the NYC metro area!!!!
(5)Ronald D.
I've been going here since I've moved to New Jersey in 2001. The pizza hasn't changed and is quite good. The slice is huge and well worth the price. Unfortunately the Benny's on Central Ave in Jersey City closed down years back, so now I have to travel 3 more miles here to get the slice in Hoboken. I asked a few natives of Hoboken during a "friendly" poker game in one of the infamous social clubs what their favorite pizza joint in town is and they said without blinking, "Benny's!!" I was surprised because because UpTown to me is top dog in Hoboken.
(3)Laura B.
These slices are serious amounts of HUGE. Great price for that much pizza. So why only three stars? Not the greatest pizza ever and not the greatest service ever. We actually had a server get annoyed that we wanted refills on our drinks. All in all? Yeah, I'll be back. One slice enough to feed a family of 5 is still enticing.
(3)Claire Y.
Pretty decent pizza - I was impressed by the fabulously ginormous size of the slices (so big I could hide my face behind it!) and the quality that lived up to all the hype. Loved the meatball pizza. The spinach pizza, however, didn't hit home too much. Very friendly staff. And they have orange cream soda!! I'd give it four stars, but damn, the pie crust just falls one star short of being perfect...
(3)Erik T.
I'm telling you.... this pizza is sinfull. You would figure out away to eat it on your death bed it's that good. Dough is perfect, sauce is great, cheese is just right. SLICE IS HUGE! This is some good stuff. Bring your empty stomach and city atittude though, these guys can be d-bags at times. Lines get long on the weekend nights. But it's all worth it!
(4)Jonathan S.
If anyone knows good pizza, this is certainly not the place to be! Yes, big slices, but that's the gimmick to get you in the resto. Turn around, go back into any of the 5 boroughs and get some real pizza. Don't waste your time here.
(1)Chris B.
Best Slice in NJ!!!
(5)Marcus D.
What can I say about this place - HUGE slabs of pizza, almost pornographic in their size. Accompany these monstrous slabs with a Bass Ale, and you have the Ava Devine of Hoboken pizza parlors.
(4)Valerie S.
This pizza was pure doughy awesomeness! Yes, there was a line but it was totally worth the wait. For $4, you can get a huge slice of pizza(so big it takes up 2 paper plates!). The pizza is thin crust.. but not crunchy.. more doughy which was great. It completely hit the spot after a morning of drinking for the St. Patrick's Day parade in Hoboken. I would definitely go back if I were in the neighborhood.
(4)Charolette O.
This place looks old, smells old and the food is average. The pizza is lousy and inconsistant. The only thing this place has is the biggest slice on the block, but in this case bigger is not better. I opt for quality over size
(1)Kate W.
Who would have thought - the best pizza in New York is actually in Hoboken! Yum!
(5)Andreas K.
I used to really like Benny's but after tonight, never again. The fucking scumbag who gave me an attitude must think Benny's is the only pizza place in town. If you're the owner you deserve to go out of business and if you're just some piece of shit working there your boss should push you into a pizza oven. I wouldn't ever set foot in Benny's again and will go out of my way to advise everyone who will listen never to go there either. Seriously pizza boy, you want to be rude to your customers, you fucking piece of shit. You need to become the victim of a hate crime.
(1)Cat C.
Super delicious pizza! I stop here every time I visit New York.
(5)Jason E.
The staff was rude, but it is NJ. We ordered a medium pie as an appetizer, was good, but nothing stood out. The chicken parmesean was amazing, 3 large chicken patties on top of pasta. I could only eat half. The slices are there other pies are huge. The prices were great for the amount you received.
(4)Drew M.
Huge slice for $3 dollars and usually good (just don't let them give you a burnt slice)
(4)Jason G.
Best thing about this slice is that it is oversized. Cheese and sauce tastes cheap. -With that said, it does do the job for late night drunk cravings.
(3)J.G S.
Overrated doesn't begin to describe this place. Slices are huge, yes - but greasy and rubbery. Calzone was a disaster, nothing but piles of cheap cheese. Always packed, but not with the type of people you'd like to hang around with...
(1)Michael S.
The best pizza in Hoboken, and for three dollars, the best value in town. It's a local institution, and if you want better, you have to travel to Harlem or Brooklyn. Plus the old-school staff, colorful born-and-bred locals and the ever-present Hoboken police make for all the ambiance you want in a local pizza icon.
(4)Theda S.
There is better pizza across the river in NYC but this is hands down my favorite late night, I need Pizza now spot. Two slices in one, what could be better than that when you are famished?
(2)Joe D.
Yup! I will say that this is my top 5 favorite tasting pizzas that I have tried all across the country thus far. I was a diner here last summer....late night and YES the slices are abnormally huge!! But what I enjoy most is the taste. I know everyone has their own flavor for pizza, but mine is a sweet sauce with a bit of garlic flavor and fresh blend of mozzarella and parmesan pizza cheeses. Benny's does it just right to put me in food heaven for a few moments. It definitely is a great value. So before you order 2 slices, stop and think to yourself, am I really that hungry!?!?
(5)John T.
No frills pizza place. I love the place, people are friendly and good food. What else could you ask for? A LARGE slice of pizza for 3 bucks? I'm there.
(4)michaela c.
AWFUL!!! AWFUL!!! AWFUL!!!! Have they ever heard of customer service?? Staff is extremely RUDE and this place is overpriced and disorganized (losing delivery orders, forgetting to put orders in, etc.) NOT WORTH THE HYPE. Go across the street to Giovanni's where the pizza and service is better.
(1)Jerry H.
My lady and I haven't had "Real Pizza" since we've moved out to Vegas. On a quick trip to NJ we made a destination for good Pizza. Considering the Logistics it had to be Hoboken's very own Benny Tudinos Pizzeria. Huge slices I mean a slice the size of your friggin' head huge. It never disappoints and the novelty of the huge slice makes it most delish!
(5)Vicky L.
pretty darn good pizza. ooey-gooey cheese, hearty wet marinara sauce, and thick juicy pooled with oil pepperoni made a great little buffer in my stomach for the beer that I had at a St Paddy's day house party earlier that day. home of the largest slice is their claim. honestly, their home style pizza was huge. One pie was probably enough to feed 10 people. Each slice was at least an equivalent of 4 pizza hut/domino type slices or 2 rays pizza type slices, so you do the visualization. I couldn't eat more than one slice, but I really wanted to. That says a lot.
(5)Christian G.
Largest slice I've seen in Hoboken. At $3 per slice u get what you pay for I feel. The employees are of the ilk you wish you saw more of in Hoboken, a vintage homage to the glory days of the non-yuppified Jersey. As I contribute to the rapid decline and diaspora of local long time residents, I patronize this restaurant for a taste of the times I'm part of ending.
(4)Felicia A.
I read reviews about this place from several sources. Being a little newer to the Hoboken area, I thought, I'll give this pizza joint a try. Had a pepperoni pizza delivered. It was Halloween, had to wait over an hour, which okay, it was a busy night, no problem. But I was expecting heaven in a box. Wasn't there. The pizza was extra salty and the crust was okay, not great. Not to mention that 1/3 of the pizza crust was black and burnt. Maybe my expectations were a little too high, but I'm convinced that Giovanni's is better tasting than Benny's! I'll have to try a few more pizzerias in town to see where my tastebuds sing!
(2)Ariel D.
Benny T's pizza is salvation in the form of cheese, dough, and tomato sauce!! As far as pizza is concerned, it's as good as it gets. I don't give the five star treatment very often, but this place is a no brainer, "fogetaboutit"! it's a slice of oven baked sex on a paper plate! The gargantuan size and unbeatable price completes the ecstasy of the experience. Quantity and quality at the same time! How often does that happen? I'll tell you this, I'm not a religious man, but I know there is a God because there's Benny T!
(5)Ali W.
I'm not a pizza snob, but I might be a pizza floozy. Gosh do I love pizza, and since I left Morningside Heights almost five years ago, I have yet to find another slice of pizza whose largesse challenges that of Koronet's on 111th and Broadway. Well, I have finally found something to appease my inner glutton-- Benny Tudino's. Literally, this pizza is sometimes the only thing that gets me to go to church on a Sunday night; I tell myself that if I go to church, I can have Benny's on the way home for dinner. This pizza is that good. And it's really cheap-- like $3 for a slice that will keep you full until tomorrow. Mmm Benny's.
(5)Luke P.
Best place in New Jersey once coming home from a Yankee game we went to the near by mickey ds and they did not have bugers so we went there
(5)Pace L.
I love Benny's pizza, I think its probably the best in Jersey. I think it tastes great and the size is just a bonus. The staff isn't that great but its a pizzeria, i dont really expect much. Also, its open really late so its convenient. However, if you want really authentic pizza, Grimaldi's in NY is better.
(4)Caleb S.
Huge slices, great prices..... Highly recommend pepperoni with extra sauce. Good solid pizza
(4)Dak F.
This is the best pizza on the planet.
(5)OD N.
This place has the largest slice of pizza I've ever seen in my life. I'm guessing that the average slice could equate to a small pizza in its own right. The slices are cheap considering the size. I haven't been there in a while but I'm guessing they are still in the $2.50 range. The place is great in the summer because you can sit in their outdoor seating. The restaurant seating itself isn't all that great as it is very cramped.
(4)Miranda B.
Benny's is frequented by people from all over. They have TOP notch quality foods here folks. You will NOT walk out hungry or broke. The slices are so big that you need to see for yourself. VERY ITALIAN...VERY FUN A must have for you new comers
(5)California D.
I am a self proclaimed Benny Tudino's Pizza slut. When I was living on Washington at 1st, I went there all the time. I often went in the middle of the night. I'd actually get out of my warm bed, flip on the light, and throw my big down jacket over my pajamas. This was during the winter of '06. I'd ride down there on my kids BMX bike-- one that was for a 4 foot 6 inch boy which I bought during the subway strike because I was a starving artist and couldn't afford better. My knees would hit the handle bars if I wasn't careful. At any given time, I'd have a fair share of Benny Tudino's bruises. It was worth it. So there I was, riding down the street past those patches of snow at 12:30AM, hands freezing through my gloves and my head thinking about that sausage and broccoli slice that I love so much. I'd walk through the door and the flirty italian guy'd say "Hi" to me like we grew up together and as if he had been expecting me. One night, I decided I would take a break. I was not going to go, but I was walking by with the friend who introduced me. He went all the time too, maybe even more than me. I told him that I needed to cut back. I told him that I already ate there the previous night, and that I wasn't hungry. But then he forced me in (by holding the door open.) He forced me to order (by asking me what I wanted.) And then when that huge, hot, slice was put in front of my face, it was like I had a gun to my head. My friend sat their grinning, knowing his unconsented coercion worked. There I was, once again in a situation that I tried so hard to avoid, one I knew I couldn't handle. I knew it was bad for me and still I couldn't say no. And yes, I liked it. How could I press charges when I had that satiated food coma look on my face. No one would have believed me. The slice was too big for me, too tasty, too hot. Yet I didn't stop, I didn't say no. And yes, I took the whole thing in my mouth and swallowed.
(5)Colleen P.
Love this place and loved the service we love ya Cassandra thanks for the great tips!!
(5)John S.
Tudino's pizza serves up the cheapest, large slices in the area but if you are looking for the "best" slice, this is not the place. One slice is probably enough for most people. If money is not your primary criteria, then I highly recommend Grimaldi's which serves my favorite pizza (particularly the crust) in Hoboken.
(2)Randy H.
i would give this place 6 stars if I COULD, but i cant. anyway, screw the service, screw the place, JUST GIVE ME THE PIZZA CUZ ITS UBER GOOOOOD!!! HUUUGE SLICES, A LOT OF SAUCE, CHEESE DANGLING OFF THE TIP OF THE SLICE. C'mon now people, u dont get that EVERYWHERE. great place to go wit friends.
(5)Haiyun Z.
When I moved away, I missed Benny's so much I paid someone to FedEx me a slice. Did it make it all the way to Indiana? No. But I had to try.
(5)Angry D.
large: good thin: good crust: good toppings: slide right off, fantastic tomato sauce: slightly tangy but too little of it cheese: meh, tastes cheap pepperoni: meh, very bland asking for tip: bad (-1) 3.5 -1 = 2.5
(2)Joolz M.
I didn't believe my friends when they told me how big the slices are at Benny Tudino's. I couldn't know that one slice would be bigger than my head (yes, my friend took a picture to prove it) and probably equal to 3 regular nj/ny slices. While it's certainly not the BEST pizza I've ever had, it's pretty damn good, and the novelty factor of eating a slice that's bigger than your neighbor's DesignerDog, is well..entertaining at best. (Yes, random comparison, I know...) But go here when you're hungry and you won't be disappointed. It's a Hoboken institution.
(4)Susan B.
the best pizza in Hoboken... The only thing that stinks is the parking situation - makes it almost impossible to go pick up food
(4)M J.
Let me start off by saying that I love pizza and am quite critical of pizza. Benny Tudino's typifies what a pizzeria is. It is, at the very least, a stereotype of one and that is ok. It's actually pretty entertaining watching the staff interact. If I were a cable producer I would give these guys a TV show before another certain Hoboken baked good establishment. The pizza: I have to say, if this place wasn't insanely busy and popular I doubt I would recommend the place ardently. There's the potential for some lack of attention to detail. I might be worried that I'd be getting some stale product. As it stands, the turnover here is so, that a lukewarm slice of pizza means that it has been sitting for 20-40 minutes instead of 3 hours. The house slices are as long as my sneaker, and I wear a men's size 11 and a half. There are pictures of month old babies next to Benny's slices and they are the same length. You could probably fit two newborns on a house slice. The flavor of the sauce is right. The dough has been well rested. Cheese is generous. Sometimes the cooking is a little phoned in, but again, the busyness of the place tends to show an urgency in the food. I've tried their buffalo wings and enjoyed them. A slice of pizza here, for three dollars, will give you two slices worth of food at just about any other place. If it doesn't hit the spot, which it usually will, it will at the very least, scratch an itch.
(4)Advocate Q.
One of my two favorite pizza places in all of Hoboken. Very nicely made HUGE plain slices.
(4)danielle d.
huge slices.. huge fluffy crust.....outdoor seating...they serve beers , cant go wrong! there garlic bread with mozz is great too... this is a childhood spot for me so i def recommend it.
(5)PRISCILA R.
This place is great if your looking for a HUGE slice you might just need a single slice to fill you up.
(3)Kristina F.
Haven't tried the pizza yet, but not sure I will since I enjoy Imposto's, which is just a bit more conveniently located. The chicken parm sandwich was just decent and doesn't hold up next to Biggie's. I only went here because it was a Sunday and Biggie's is closed. Fine for a substitute, but not something I look forward to eating again.
(3)David M.
The pizza itself is pretty average but the value is great, especially in Hoboken. Most people know that even average pizza can be pretty enjoyable, especially either alongside beer or after consumption of a decent amount of it (or any other form of alcohol for that matter), so I definitely keep this place in mind when I'm in the area and hungry (considering that most of the "nice" restaurants I have eaten at in Hoboken completely sucked anyway). This place definitely serves a purpose... but those who swear by the quality of the pizza being superb must surely be smoking some good shit.
(3)John N.
Best meal deal! $3.50 gets you a medium soda and a mega-large fresh slice. My favorite slice in Hobo - sauce, cheese and dough all excellent. Delivery is good too but you only get the large slices in-store.
(5)victoria r.
This place is always packed and always has double parked cars outside... why? i truly don't see what is so special about their pizza? the slice is huge and thin... but does that qualify it to be so amazing? In my opinion, this place is good but overrated.
(2)Carmella C.
Great pizza that really hits the spot. When you're mighty hungry, stop by this place. The slices are enough to feed you at your hungriest.
(3)Hoboken B.
I would like this place if Benny actually took the time to fix the place up a little. Bottom line, it's just plain gross inside the place. It makes me feel dirty. The pizza is usually good, but can be inconsistent. When it's good, there's nothing like it. But that's not always the case. Benny please clean the place up. It really needs it.
(3)Brian K.
Great pizza for cheap. The slices are really huge and tasty. The crust is moist and chewy. I only tried the plain cheese, but next time I'll try some toppings.
(4)Dorian G.
I asked for a slice (just one) and the guy served me up an entire quarter of a pizza. And it was the best freakin' slice of pizza I've had a long time. And my giant slice (which was really 2 slices) and a small soda only came to $4. Cha-ching...dealtime.
(4)Sleazeme P.
A whole pie is bigger than my face on steroids.
(4)Edward I.
Parking in Hoboken sucks of course, but this is a place to visit if you're in the area. The place is rather small but it's a good place to visit to get your fill before hanging out in the area to get your "liquid refreshments". Best thing to do during cold days is pass by, eat, go to Blockbuster, rent movies and spend quality time at home with the one you love while in sweats and drinking a beer. Good times.
(4)Sergio D.
So many places get hyped up and never live up to their expectations. And Benny Tudino's is no exception. The quality of the pizza is average but the slices are huge and thats what got people going. If you want a bang for your buck then yes go there, if you want quality pizza(not that its horrible just not top notch) then go someplace else.
(2)marlon s.
Since my days at Stevens I love this pizza, I take my kids there now and the fact that the quality is still there is a plus
(4)Daya A.
What a serious slice of pizza. Benny Tudino's I am giving you a serious kudos for representing a phenomenal slice of pizza in New Jersey. Now I have a place to bring out of towners to impress with your delightful slices. I am glad this pizzeria takes it over the edge with those huge deliciously amplified quality slices. Bravo Benny's..bravo..
(4)Sam T.
Good classic pizza and its huge but not the best I've had. Yes they have been around for ages but I am sure not everyone who works there has been around as long. Although the pizza is good it could be great if they were more consistent with how the pizza is cooked. The sauce and cheese is always good but the dough can be undercooked at times. Not sure if that is due to inexperience in the cook or a new fad of pizza. Either way the fact of the inconsistency leaves less to be desired. Simple fix make sure to ask for your pizza well done then your pizza will be worth the trip to this old school feel of a great generation of pizza artists. Now my ratings are strictly on the inconsistency of the pizza being cooked but don't let that discourage you. I yet need to taste their other plates and from other reviews and pics I've seen I am looking forward to it.
(3)Rachel L.
The pizza was okay. Nothing special. I'd stop by again maybe to grab a slice to go, but would not dine in again. The service is slow... waitress is too busy sitting down at the table and texting to bother waiting on tables. The area outside to eat is what caught our eye, it was a nice fenced in area with flowers. However, what ruined the ENTIRE experience before our pizza even arrived - and then for the duration of our entire meal, was the multiple delivery boys loitering on all sides of the outdoor eating space CHAIN SMOKING. The delivery boys for this establishment. Who wants to try to eat pizza when they can barely breathe amongst the perpetual second hand smoke?! I'd understand if they were patrons, but there's no better way to undermine your own business than having your very own employees ruining the outdoor dining experience for paying customers. There were multiple families with children eating outside while this was happening... how disrespectful of the delivery boys. And shame on management and ownership for not keeping your employees under better behavior.
(1)Nicole S.
So many people have said this is the BEST pizza around, but I'd have to disagree. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the pizza, but it's nowhere near the "best". Yea, the slice is huge and costs $3.50, but it was just good pizza at best. Awesome portion to share a slice with a friend. I do love that it's an old school feeling Italian pizza place. Definitely feels like a throwback when inside. Pictures show babies laying next to the slices and the slices are larger than a baby! If I'm walking by and hungry, I'd come back for a quick slice. I wouldn't stop here if I was in the mood for great pizza.
(3)Jordan G.
Went here with my girlfriend on a Monday in the early evening around 4 pm. Everything I got was mediocre. I got a small Caesar salad which looked tired (romaine was pretty yellow) and chicken fingers which, while crispy, were otherwise dry and stringy in texture. My girlfriend got spaghetti with garlic oil and she enjoyed it. Too much oil in the dish but we used the plentiful excess for the table bread. Service was decent, our order was taken promptly and our food was out quickly. Had to ask for refills of water. In hindsight maybe we should have stuck to pizza. Would not order the same thing if I come back.
(3)Karisa D.
Pizza. It is so simple and an easy hand held food item. But then you go to Benny Tudino's Pizzeria where a slice of pizza is as big as a newborn baby. Literally. They have the photos on the wall to prove it. Plus, for $3.50 a slice of cheese ($1.00 per additional topping), it's the perfect price for your wallet. You're probably thinking, is the pizza good quality? I mean it's your standard big slice of pizza with hot gooey delicious cheese melted on top. I ordered the Italian sausage as my topping on top; sooo good. Spicy and flavorful and just delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. This is the kind of place to come either sober or probably when late night shenanigans occur. Cash only, just as an FYI.
(4)Theresa B.
I love the pizza here and it is the biggest slice of pizza I have ever had!! Everyone who works there is very nice and they always have good beer deals during the week! I love their sausage pizza, it is my favorite! The only time I've been disappointed here is when they told me their mushrooms were fresh when I asked and when I got my pizza they were definitely canned mushrooms, a slight disappointment but the pizza is still good!
(4)Vineet S.
This place has been around for a while now, they have been serving authentic italian food fare since 1968. Last week we were craving pizza and decided to try this place. The spot itself is more suited for takeout rather than a sit down kind of meal. We decided to sit in the back of the restaurant. Ordered the plain cheese pie which was quite big considering the price which we paid.($15.25 for medium). The pizza was tasty and we enjoyed it. The Service itself leaves a lot to be desired at this restaurant. It seemed like the staff did not really cared much about the dine in customers. Staff was very loud while watching the ongoing Rangers match on the big TV screen. FYI - Cash only
(3)Laszlo S.
If you want to get a slice and a beer, this is the place! The pizza is very big and very tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Hoboken. The owner is a very nice guy also. I wish they had one in Jersey City where I live.

The best pizza shop in Hoboken! It's a great place to go and hang out with friends and family. The noise level is ok. The pizza is good but I prefer mine to be crunchier. They have a good variety of cold beverages. The pizza is so big, equal to the size of a new born baby! They have different types of pizzas with many toppings and Italian food.

When in Hoboken there are a few places you must visit. Benny's is one of them. Pizza is delicious, though its not unlike many other NJ/NY style pizzas in flavor & quality. What really sets them apart is this: 1. The size of the slice: Largest slice in the state. Requires 2 plates. Folds in half and is still the size of a 'typical' piece of pizza 2. The uniformly brown bottom crust. I don't know how they do it. The pizza is ginormous and yet it cooks perfectly even on the bottom and throughout. Order your slice CRISPY and it will be perfectly crisp, brown, and gooey. The beauty of Benny's pizza is that it's not oversalted or oversauced. And that two people can share 1 slice. But why would you wanna do that?!
(4)Cherish M.
Benny's has some great, huge, baby-sized pizza. As far as pizza goes; it is pretty cheesy which I like, but the crust is so floppy. Good if you are out drinking and need a bite! It will definitely satisfy your craving.
(4)Jenny-Marie D.
Food was really good! I am picky because I am Italian so it's very hard to please me. This place was definitely worth it. First things first the slices of pieces are enormous. One slice is really equivalent to two slices. My stepson and I got two and split them in half. We then ordered the buffalo wings with mild sauce very spicy but nice touch with the blue cheese. We were very full after that so for the rest of the family we got one slice of pizza and a shrimp Parmesan sandwich. Everything was great! I always say that the sign of a good pizza is when even the crust is good .... This place definitely had it all!
(5)Jed S.
Forget the rest and get a larger-than-your-face slice at this hoboken pizza veteran. I'll say I'm slightly biased since this place is nostalgic to me while I was in college at Stevens. BUT! Even years later and trying more pizza places, Benny's is still a top slice. Don't let the size fool you, the pizza doesn't skimp on quality. The dough has the perfect balance of crunch and chewiness. The sauce is my favorite and the cheese brings home the goodness. However I took one star away because sometimes they have their off days and the pizza is on the undercooked chewy side.
(4)Rachel D.
I love this place! Yes the pizza is famous but go for the pasta or the hot anti past! Omg!! Fried chicken, eggplant,shrimp,hot sausage and mussels covered in melted mozzarella and sauce - is amazing !!!! The "Marco pollo" amazing!!!!! Garlic knots must be famous because it's hit or miss that they will have any after 8 pm!!! But if you are one of the lucky few- enjoy the savor them!!! The waitress there are great! They remember my "usual" ! I love it! It's always a great time. Date night doesn't always have to be fancy or pricey- sometimes casual and affordable is better- and as you can see by my many log ins I prefer this any night over a stuffy fancy place !
(4)JoAnna D.
I was torn about Benny Tudino's. Value-wise, it's great -- nay, fantastic. A giant big-as-your-face slice for pocket change? Sign me up! And I know I've had their (takeout) pizza in the past, and it was good. I've had pepperoni pizza, sausage & green peppers, and plain. All good. Thumbs up, Benny. We sat down in the front room, in view of the television so we could watch hockey. Pretty comfortable accommodations, at least until the oven's overhead fan conked out & the room filled with smoke. Oops! But who cares, right? These things happen. I tasted a piece of my fiance's meatball & sausage slice, and it was pretty delicious. Great crust, decent sauce, appropriate amount of cheese. Our fountain sodas were ice cold. The food came out quickly & piping hot. But I still have some issues. Let's talk about your Hawaiian pizza, Benny. Yes, I know. I am Italian, but I still enjoy a Hawaiian slice. Don't look at me like that! Anyway, one of my strong peeves is when the ham is deli-style, not chunk-style. And I'm not even talking strips -- this Hawaiian slice sported some full-sized squares of ham. It almost turns my pizza into an open-faced sandwich, and then I have to try not to drag the entire piece of ham off the slice, leaving a sad doughey cheeseless hole. The pineapples were not incorporated into the cheese either, and they tumbled about as I struggled to eat my slice without wearing it home. So there you have it. A decent pizza place, with giant, economically-advantageous slices. Strongly recommended -- well, as long as you don't like Hawaiian pizza.
(3)Cindy C.
I'm between 3 and 3.5 stars. Benny's definitely has the biggest slice of pizza I have ever seen. (You need two paper plates to hold it.) The pizza itself was only average. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special. It was actually kind of dry. I did like the toppings though. For a dollar I got a ridiculous amount of very delicious eggplant on it.
(3)Cathy Z.
The pizza was delish!! Service was great and the admit sphere was great. We had to eat inside since the outside was close. Always great to go to ones old stoping grounds.
(5)Mehul P.
This place is great. Ridiculously huge slices. I usually have 2 and beer. The staff is very friendly and place is pretty decent. They also serve authentic Italian food which isn't pretty bad. If you're ever in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by at least once and trying their pizza. Cash only which kind of sucks.
(4)Steve B.
Huge, somewhat greasy slices of pizza with oldschool decor. For a good slice which you absolutely have to fold, come here. In my younger, Jersey-living days I came here on occasion while out drinking in Hoboken. Now, my GF and I were in town and a bit hungry around midnight, so a quick yelp search led us back to Benny's. Massive cheese slice for $3.50, which is reminiscent of Three Brothers in Belmar back when they used to be good. The pizza is thin, a bit tangy sauce, good cheese which is a bit over-hardened, and a 4-napkin covering of grease. But net net, it's good quality and one slice is good for somewhat hungry, two if hungry, and three if starving or insanely drunk. With a slice this big, folding your slice is beyond necessary. I've been folding my slice since I was a kid, but my girlfriend never did. After our slice here, she has come along to the beauty of the fold - no, it's not just for males from NY/NJ, everyone folds. Come here, get a slice, dap off some grease, fold, and enjoy.
(4)Brian S.
The quality of the food compares to Two Bros though the size of the slice never disappointed. Known for making child sized slices, it's too bad they don't have child sized drinks to quench my adult sized thirst. The crab ravioli is not distinguishable from other types of ravioli as it is just swimming in thick red sauce. It could've been any other filling and tasted the same. A bit of a let down for crab lovers. It might as well have been the ravioli parmigiana which is just plain ravioli. We haven't tried the toppings on the pizza, the slice on its own does enough to satiate your hunger.
(3)Sally L.
Um... this is just slightly above average pizza that's the size of your face. Nothing else special about it. I didn't think it was the best slice I've ever had. I don't get it.. what did everyone else eat???? Take the path or ferry across the Hudson and get yourself some pizza worth raving about.
(3)Keyra F.
Good food, but terrible and extremely rude service. I have been coming here for 4 years but I decided to go there anymore. It's basically the bad experience you get with employees (from pizzeria to the waitress) that you can even had a good moment. Slow and after all the patience you can put they will throw the food at you.... Not worth it to come here anymore. Sorry Benny!
(1)Michael M.
For the size the taste is spot on. Been here a bunch of times. Great sauce. Great crust. Great ratios: sauce:crust:cheese Above I'm referring to the crust under the pizza. Sometimes the crust at the end of the pie is a little too thick.... Note I have only had cheese slices. One slice is plenty for me though sometimes I get 2 bc I'm a glutton and very much regret doing so.... My favorite pizza spot in hoboken. I drive past at least 6 other pizza places on my way here from my house in hoboken.
(4)Melissa G.
After living in Hoboken for 2 years, we finally found our favorite pizza place! Ordering a pie is different than a single piece - which is HUGE (you can share) - but it's always hot and so good. I highly recommend this place for Hoboken Pizza!!
(5)Erica J.
So I came here as a party of 4 and the kids wanted to sit outside. Unfortunately, there's only one table that can accommodate 4 people and someone had a bag sitting on the table. I asked our waitress if someone was sitting there, she said, and I quote "yea, sit somewhere else". I should've left right then and there. But like an idiot I stayed. So I said, "where else would you like us to sit?" She pointed to a table set for 3 that was smack in front of a door. When I attempted to pull it out away from the fence, as she stood there watching me do it, she said it was blocking the door and it wouldn't work. So now I'm pissed. I said where would YOU like us to sit, as the 4 of us ate not going to fit at a table for 3. She then instructed me to move the table over to another table... like, me, physically move it as she stood there and watched. My level of doneness is all the way on high. I'm writing this as I sit at the table waiting for her to bring our food as she stands and texts while she leans on the garbage in between runs to the passenger side of a black Acura parked down the street. I wouldn't come back here if the pizza was free!
(1)Kathy M.
Best pizza in New Jersey!!
(5)Maria Q.
Just had a famous Benny's pizza slice. I have been coming here for more than 13 years. Hoboken is very proud to have Benny's, and when we have family from Costa Rica coming to visit for the first time, we always bring them here to enjoy the huge slices. It has become a family tradition.
(5)Bill Z.
I am here right now as I type this! (Dec.29th 5 25 pm) great pizza If you like size . Biggest slice around and they are not ashamed to make that their calling card. Quality wise I think it's middle of the road. What I've noticed about their pizza is that it's generally on the doughy side and the undercooked side.... Which I actually prefer but if you like crispy pizza stay away or at least ask the guy to put your slice back in the oven to make it crispier. I adjusted my ranking to 3 stars because I just found out that benny raised the price of his slices by nearly 17% from 3 to 3.50.....:(
(3)Derek D.
The famous giant pizza slices live up to their name. The pizza isn't the best tasting though. I much prefer many of the pizzerias around the area but it is a must go just to say you've been there. The service is quick but not very friendly. I tried to have small talk like k do everywhere and the guy just took my money and ignored me. I guess they are busy so it's not a big deal but he could of at least replied or even smiled.
(3)Tameica R.
Definitly my type of pizza, greasy, cheesy, saucy, and good. ;-) I love the big slices of pizza. Also the fountain soda is a major plus. I'm a fan. They will see my pretty face more times than they can count because I love PIZZA!!!
(4)Arielle S.
Good pizza, huge slices.. and the people who work here are incredibly friendly. Always a great place to pick up a quick slice after a long day of work!
(4)Patty G.
The biggest slices your littles eyes can see!! Food is great here, I mostly really come for the slices, which you can't beat. Small place family owned has been around for many years. I like seeing the celebrity pictures of people who've gone there. Whenever you're in hoboken please go visit this place.
(4)Helen Y.
Oh, Benny Tudinos, I've been in love with your giant slice of pizza for years and had to go on a hiatus when I stopped going to Hoboken to work. Well, a stop off at Liberty State Park led to a drop off at Hoboken I remembered your pizza fondly and so asked for a drop off so I could see if you were still around. And whoohoo...the huge slice is still enormous(you get it over not one, but two, paper plates), the sauce still tangy, the cheese still yummy. Not too salty either, a problem with so many pizzerias now. My only complaint would be for you to cook the crust a bit more so it snaps .My crust edges were whitish though the inner crust was cooked well.. but I pretended it was just good yeasty bread. But the pizza is still delicious and at $3 a slice, a terrific value. This place is always crowded so it's best to go at odd hours. Or if you don't mind warm pizza, take it to go to Frank Sinatra park where the views are spectacular and you can chomp down without being rushed.
(4)Cindy M.
Great toppings, Great Service, Late Night open, Delicious, Huge and Cheap! Cant go wrong for a quick bite stop!
(4)Jah L.
I havent really tried anything other than their extremely large slice that they serve. The good part about this place is that they serve liquor. They dont have a cocktail menu but they do have beers and white wine in the fridge. Recently we went here and they now sold Benny Tudino Sparkling Water. I cant tell u how horrible it was. It tasted like Hoboken tap water with Fizz. And i am really being nice about that. All in all it is always a go to spot late at night. Give up trying to look for a spot because it is Hoboken. The only time u will get a spot is by luck... Or if u pay for it.
(4)Reena N.
I've only ever had room for 1 giant slice. Just note that when you get delivery, they don't actually deliver a pie of the giant size, it's only an in store special. But this is some of the best thin crust pizza in Hoboken and a staple for late night bar hopping to stop in and get a slice.
(5)Nick C.
Benny's makes the biggest slices ever. Pretty good slice too, and cheap at only $3. A quick, tasty, and cheap way to fill your stomach. They're open late too. I've ordered delivery many late nights after drinking or just messing around. Personally though, I prefer the flavor of the slightly smaller slice at Giovanni's across the street.
(4)Ang S.
Love the ambiance of this place. A fun, cozy, little family pizza place in Hoboken. The people were friendly, and the food was delicious. Honestly, the cheese pizza here was probably the best I've ever had. We ordered the vegetable pizza to go, also, but it wasn't as great as the cheese sadly. It was kind of like eating a salad on pizza crust, because there was so many vegetables and very little cheese or sauce. I know it's just a matter of preference but I would have preferred a little more cheese. But definitely do not miss the cheese pizza!!! Gigantic slices, reasonably priced, and yummy.
(3)Jon S.
The slices are massive and they charge regular prices. Pizza is B quality. That sums this place up. No need to read other reviews I've given the public all they need to know!
(4)Mary D.
This is my all time favorite piece of pizza! I am living away from NJ right now and I still crave the amazing Benny Tudino's Pizza! The people there are really friendly too!
(5)Paula B.
"Home of the Largest Slice" was the sign I saw when we were driving by looking for parking. After visiting Carlo's Bakery, we decided to walk the few blocks and have a slice of pizza there. Our group of 6 was seated in a booth in the back and the waitress asked if we would like our bakery box refrigerated. We declined because we wanted to eat our sweets after a slice. Ordered a slice with mushrooms and onions and we were a little disappointed to see that the onions were basically raw when we got our order. But when we tasted it, we found that the onions were cooked just enough to lose that raw onion flavor and were really very, very good. The crust was perfect, just the right amount of sauce and cheese, and this by far is the best pizza I've had. Anywhere. One of our kids ordered Italian sausage on his slice, and instead of the little roundish balls of sausage that you see everywhere, this was long slices of an actual Italian sausage! My husband tasted it and said that it was excellent and has to be ordered the next time we go. The waitress cleared away our plates and offered fresh plates for us to enjoy our dessert that we'd brought from Carlo's bakery. I was worried that they would frown on it, but I'm happy that they were so accomodating. The only downside is that Benny Tudino's is 725 miles from home. We'll be going back to NJ and NY next summer, sadly, so I'll just have to wait for the best pizza! Highly recommended!
(5)Jamie E.
Pizza cold. Pizza undercooked. Only plain for quick slices. Pizza guy wouldn't even heat up the slices. Ehhh I have had better Pizza. Recommend trying a tuna melt sandy but not the cold pizza.
(1)Rirry C.
GIANT pizza slices at a decent price + open late + BYOB = best combo ever. Ask for your slice extra crispy or it could be floppy due to the size. Decent sauce and cheese.
(4)Purpose T.
VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Their menu is totally misleading. I went there with high expectations to order a white slice of pizza. Well from what the chef explained to me, you can ONLY buy white pizza as well as certain topping if you buy an entire pie (ranging from $17-20). I didnt come to devour an entire pie. I just wanted a slice of pizza. The owner, Mr. Tuddino himself, was there and he was more interested in asking me about my hair than me leaving as an unsatisfied customer. I doubt I'll be back. The menu just didnt make sense.
(1)Michael L.
Their slices are hit or miss, usually miss. They come out raw half the time and they get mad if you ask to put them in longer. That said, they have some decent dishes on the menu. I like spicy so I get the chicken Murphy with extra hot peppers and it usually is right on. They let me substitute pasta with a salad which is a plus. Service is usually okay, not excellent not horrible. Id give this place 3.5 stars but I can't and since they don't accept credit cards, they get 3. It's 2014, comeon!
(3)Donna F.
This review is based on a takeout order my boyfriend placed on Tuesday (11/19) after a particularly rough and stressful day. I had heard stories of Benny's fabled slices of pizza, and I have to say (as a recent transplant from Philly), I am very impressed. The crust is baked just right: not chewy, not hard or dry, not thick, but crispy with a savory flavor. We ordered a large pizza with one half plain cheese and the other half with mushrooms and pepperoni. I can't describe it as anything else other than delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. No burnt or gummy cheese, no oily or limp slices/toppings, just a really good pizza. And it took less than 20 minutes for the pizza to arrive. Pleased to meet you Benny Tudino. I have a feeling we'll be good friends.
(5)Rachita B.
$3.50 for a slice of cheese pizza that's the size of your face (maybe a little larger) sounds like a pretty awesome deal...but then you see how thin the pizza is and question how MUCH you're actually getting! Additionally, the pizza is on the greasier side and lacks a certain quality in the sauce..maybe some spices could help. I think this place is probably perfect for drunk pizza night, but other than that, pizza is abundant in jersey! And given that pizza is one of my fave foods, I've tried a lot and can assure you there are others to be tried :-)
(2)Stephanie G.
Pizza is still delicious. Staff and owner have taken a nasty turn in attitude. Only good for delivery these days.
(3)S C.
Love their plain slice! Sauce is on the sweet side and the pizza is on the salty side, but their dough is awesome!
(5)Sonia D.
Have you ever been to Jumbo Slice in DC? This is the closest thing to that. It's a great slice that basically is a meal for a few bucks. The classic cheese is great as is the pepperoni. The slices are huge so you probably only need to order one. Great on the go!
(3)Ruth C.
I came here because I heard wonders about it and the yelp reviews seemed promising. It was really good pizza, but I think its size was more of an experience than anything else. I was there alone for lunch, so I was really glad to see that they had the option of buying it by the slice. It's definitely a place you want to visit at least once.
(4)Pablo S.
I was here last night with my girlfriend and her daughter and we had a great time! Her daughter couldn't finish That big slice of pizza! I grew up in Hoboken and when i get the chance to bring people to Hoboken I bring them here!
(5)Tyler R.
I challenge you to find a bigger piece of pizza that is not: -An entire pizza in and of itself -Purposely meant to be shared -Oily, soft, oozy, gross, not fun. The bright lights of Benny's draw you in...and all you need is a cool $3 and you'll walk out with a mega slice. Not only is it mega, but it is really, really good. Somehow the cheese doesn't become basically oil, or drip all over you, and it manages to be just crispy enough the whole way around. Its full of fats, carbs, and I think it has a bit of extra gluten thrown in for good measure. Classic, old school pizza. A drunk person's delight, Benny's is open until...well, let's just say i've never seen it closed. Even during Sandy, when I was finally able to kayak (not really, but I would have if I had a kayak) out of my apartment....it was open again! And yes - there is seating and many people go there to grab a seat, a beer, and a mega helping of all things italian. I'm a fan of the meatball sub - just as big as you would think, and all the meaty, cheesy, bready goodness you would expect from a place that pushed out face-sized pizza. Crap. Now I want a slice.
(4)Marla F.
I don't know why people rave about their pizza. I can't comment on their Italian dishes because I've never wanted to try them but their pizza is mediocre to blah-- just the size of your face. I rather quality than quantity. Nice staff though.
(2)Jeff D.
To any Philadelphia/South Jersey transplants or visitors to the area, Benny Tudino's is the North Jersey equivalent to Lorenzo's Pizza on South Street BUT...Benny's might just be a tad bit better. After going to an engagement party in the area, my girlfriend and I took a ride to nearby Hoboken. Still being a bit hungry and in the mood for a slice, we decided to stop into Benny's. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by a hostess and asked if we were dining in or taking out. The inside was bustling with many people and there was no shortage of others coming in to take out. We ordered 2 slices and a coke to take out, which came to $7.50 if I remember correctly. As others have mentioned the slices are the size of a small child. One slice of pizza is easily 2, maybe even 3 slices of normal pizza, but quantity is not the only thing they're known for. As well as being filling, their pizza is also delicious, with a thin crust and a nice sauce to cheese ratio that is full of flavor. It's also a lot of fun to people watch at Benny's, as I saw one guy who was literally wrestling with his slice as he attempted several times to take his first bite using only one hand (a hard feat to accomplish here). Needless to say Benny won the fight. For a good quality slice, you simply can't go wrong.
(4)Herbert M.
Benny Tudino's makes the biggest slices in the Northern, NJ area and possibly all of NJ. The slices are only $3 (not including any toppings) and for the size it's definitely worth it. I've been here many times and the slices taste amazing every-time. The Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday special is definitely worth trying. It includes the gigantic pie, 10 wings and a 2 Liter Soda for only $25. It will definitely be more than enough for a group of 6. The wings taste great!! Super crispy, never soggy. Only reason why I can't give it 5 stars is because the bathroom is always a nightmare trying to use, although tables are clean the place is too clustered. The waiters are awesome and super friendly. If you haven't tried Benny Tudino's in Hoboken I recommend everyone to try it out and get the HOUSE Sized slice pizza. You won't regret it!! And if you love wings, give it a try... It won't be the best wings you had but I think it's worth trying.
(4)Samson C.
Perfect jersey style. Got a garlic/meatball pie and it was exactly what I wanted it to be. Old school vibe, can't wait to go back!
(5)A B.
Good pizza, but not great. Very large slices, which I like. I used to come here more often when I lived closer to it, but now I live near the PATH so I don't go here too much anymore. I get cravings for it sometimes and the pizza places near the PATH aren't good, so sometimes I will walk over or order delivery. It's definitely better than any of the pizza places near the PATH.
(3)Jacob J.
Don't make this difficult. Just get the pizza. Always just get the pizza. The salad is fine. The wings are more like fried chickens. The wrap, sure. Just get the pizza. And what a slice. It's literally the size of an infant. No, this isn't millennial overwrought speak and butchering of the language. There is photo evidence. And it's not just the size that will get you too. The pizza is good, too. Wash it down with the beer and wine they offer. Doesn't matter if you're drunk or sober, Benny's is the best pizza spot in Hoboken.
(4)Tristan P.
Let's be honest, you aren't coming here for a gourmet pizza extravaganza. But I still think Benny Tudino's is a must see experience. Here's why. 1. You will get the largest slice of pizza you have ever seen. The restaurant even has photos posted of babies next to a slice of pizza, which are about the same size. 2. Quality. Other posts say that this isn't the best pizza ever, and they're right. It isn't. But it also isn't the worst pizza ever. It's average pizza. Real crust, real cheese, and baked right in front of you in a pizza oven. Believe me, I've had the 99 cents a slice pizza in NYC which is really horrible (cardboard crust and fake cheese), but this is the real stuff. If you don't mind a plain slice, come on in. 3. Entertainment. I highly recommend you come here sober and just watch as the bar bound crowds pour in. That, in itself, is worth the price of admission. 4. Timing. I stopped in around 11pm on a Saturday night. Believe it or not, a lot of restaurants in NYC and Hoboken were closing shop already and were catering to the bar bound crowds. We weren't too hungry and just wanted a bite to eat to hold us over for a bit, and Benny Tudino's was open and we were quickly served. Self-seating made it even better. My reco: give it a try.
(4)Pete R.
I really love this place. Some people don't like the "style" of the pizza, but i love it. Their dinner meals i think are even better than their pizza. Last night i had the Chicken Murphy. Very tasty.
(5)Rebecca M.
The people are extremely rude to me and when I order they give me the crappiest/ undercooked pizza. However, I send my boyfriend to get me a slice and it's amazing! One of the best pizzas I've ever tasted in my life, tastes just like New York pizza. The only bad things about this place is the attitudes of the people working.
(5)Said M.
Pizza is huge. Tastes good. The price is alright. The sodas are expensive, like most places, 2 bucks for a can. The atmosphere is very down to earth, no frills, no thrills. The people behind the register are okay, all business and ready to serve what you want. The place can use a slight makeover, maybe some new paint or something. It's pretty much the most hyped neighborhood pizza in the world, and there's nothing great to say about this place, but there's nothing bad to say about it either. Saw Joe Biden there once! I yelled at him "Where's your boss!?" he didn't say anything, but the secret service laughed. lol Google Joe Biden Benny Tudino's, he hit it up after hurricane sandy.
(3)Bob R.
You can get a very good slice of pizza here. With that being said, it is good not great. They would have gotten 4 stars from me but they put the toppings on after the pizza is made, so you are essentially getting a plain slice with whatever topping you choose on top lukewarm. Definitely a good place for a slice of plain pizza. Check it out if you haven't.
(3)Yeraldine S.
This was my spot to go to during high school lunch and any chance I'm in the mood for pizza- I make the trip to Bennys. The pizza is hugeeeee. (I can't believe I use to eat 2)! I love how perfectly cooked it is--not burned or too doughy. Since I usually only come here for pizza, you walk right up to the counter and ask for the slice and either find a seat in the front or outside. The back area is saved for bigger parties. (No debit/credit) - Only cash.
(4)Donna R.
Thin crust to die for. I happened upon this pizzeria in early January, just frolicking about Hoboken and trying to stay away from NYC. Having had TWO slices there, I realized I would probably never eat again. Their slices are ginormous. Unexpectedly great, sweet sauce. Love this place!!!!
(5)Sunny G.
Great place if you're in the mood for huge slices of pizza. I guarantee you one slice can fill you up.
(3)Laila D.
My favorite cheese slice in Hoboken! Perfect thin slice: crispy bottom, delicious tomato sauce and cheese, perfectly baked, and not greasy. One slice will fill you up, as it is huge (needs two plates) and only $2! Warm and friendly service!
(5)Kevin K.
This is probably the most famous and recognizable pizza joint in Hoboken. During my roughly 2 years spent in Hoboken, I always enjoyed stopping by Benny Tudino's and having a slice while hanging out with friends. Fair warning, the slices here are HUGE. If I remember correctly, there's a photo on the front counter of a baby next to a slice of cheese pizza and the pizza slice is just as large as the baby. The pizza here is EXCELLENT and their reputation for serving solid Italian food is definitely well-deserved within the community. The notable downside about a trip to Benny Tudino's is that the place is "cash only." As it's 2014 now, I'm sure some folks would like to pay with credit/debit cards but nope, not here. The place can also get jam-packed on Friday and Saturday nights so you might be waiting awhile for your slice.
(4)Neelam P.
3 1/2* I thought the slices here were better a few years ago. I recently went back and it just felt different. The slice is still HUGE, but my slice didn't have enough cheese and my husband's had too much. The crust was a little weak this time too...
(3)Luis B.
Wow, what a huge slice! The pizza was adequate at best, I wish the crust was cooked longer as it was doughy.
(2)John C.
I thought the pizza was just somewhat average. At $3.50 per slice, value wise its ok. I'm not sure if it's an off day but I prefer my pizza to have more of a crust and the cheese hotter. I would however go back if I'm in the area to give it another try.

Good sauce = Good pizza. This place is an institution for good reason. Old school pizzeria. Their meatballs are also excellent. Please don't ever change.
(4)Angélica M.
Honestly I love Bennys pizza. Reasonably priced pizza as if you were buying one small regular slice elsewhere. I have been going here for a while and I would deff recommend there pizza to anyone. Only problem is that when you eat inside its a bit cramped, so my boyfriend and I normally do take out. Place to be for young people looking for something quick to eat as far as pizza goes.

I love Benny T's. Every time I'm in Hoboken, I head down to Washington St, double park my car, and run in for a couple of slices and some bottled cream soda. The pizza isn't outstanding (it's VERY good - not outstanding), but it's HUGE!! There are better tasting pizzas across the Hudson, but Benny T's is an institution. If I was playing a word association game and somebody said, "Hoboken." I'd respond with, "Sinatra." If they followed it up with "Pizza", I'd say, "Benny Tudino's." It's THE place to grab a (monster) slice in Hoboken. VERY good pizza, enormous slices, good prices . . . Badabing!
(4)George B.
Pizza is great but the prices can get ya! I am 99% Benny's has the largest slice in Hoboken. I mean anything is possible, but I have yet to see bigger. Or outside of Hoboken for that matter. Personally I order plain every time; It's so good I do not feel the need to get a topping. Although truth be told I like the toppings at Gios better. However I prefer Benny's plain House slice hands down. So why 3 stars? Price gouging that's why. No reason I should have been paying extra on Hoboken St. Paddie's Day. I actually boycotted Benny's for at least year in protest, but I'll admit i caved and came back a little while ago. But I never forget...
(3)Thomas N.
Their slices used to be pretty damn good! It seems like they are starting skimp on the cheese and tomato sauce.
(2)Veeral S.
The slice is HUGE! The service was really great as well. Benny himself is at the restaurant a lot of times, so it's pretty cool to run into him.
(5)Nick D.
Benny's does not play when it comes to the "biggest slice in town" claim, and if there's a slice bigger than the two plates it takes to just barely carry one from Benny's, point me in that direction because holy shit. That being said, the pizza is a little too greasy for my personal taste. That combined with the heavy cheese and thin crust means it's going to get sloppy quick. I'm a little bit more of a 7 Star fan myself; this might not be for you if you're like me and want crispy pizza. I'll come back and try other things on the menu for sure.
(2)Maria A.
Huge pizza slices, thin crust, NY style, for uber cheep. Friendly staff. Can't go wrong here!
(5)Gary G.
Best pizza on greater New York. BT's kept my classmates and I well fed for our four years at Stevens Institute of Technology during the early 80's and my visit there today almost 30 years later reminded me why it is such a popular local pizza restaurant. Marie greeted us with a friendly welcome and found us a table. From there, she made us feel right at home, even introducing us to the man himself! The slices are gi-normous! And the balance of cheese and sauce just right. But what makes the pizza so great is the crust. And not just the part at the rim. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (like real French bread!). Just amazing and for me, a special place. Highly recommended!
(5)Sai T.
Amazing Pizza by the slice. I love their chicken and Broccoli and good people. This is a Cash Only place so don't forget to take your cash with you. Took off one star because their sometimes their slices are bit too oily for me.
(4)Shams N.
"yo that slice was like ... THIS BIG" Yep -- big slices for the pizza slice lovers (see pictures). Also really cheap and right on Washington St for those nights out at Maxwells or on the way back from downtown Hoboken. The pizza quality was alright, a bit doughy for my taste, but otherwise OK. I'd recommend asking to have it in the oven for a bit longer if you are into crispier pizza. Seating is also pretty ample here, which is good if you come with a group of friends or family. The back room is generally pretty quiet and open. I'll give this place another shot for their other foods (typical italian fare).
(3)Nino R.
This place is more amusement park than actual contender in the pizza pantheon. I'm all for gimmicks, especially where I come out on top, but Benny's is a place you go to once and never return. At least for the pizza. Yes, the slice is enormous. But that's it. I like big crunch. I like big cheese. I like big sauce. Benny's is just big bread...
(3)Rob D.
Biggest slices anywhere. Decent pizza. I go here for a slice whenever in the area. Great "drunk" food on a Friday or Saturday. A must try for pizza lovers!
(4)Leslie B.
For size comparison, a slice here is the same size as a slice at Koronet pizza on the UWS (except it's a little cheaper here - $3). Same exact pizza too -- drunk pizza. I'm guessing that everyone who says this pizza is delicious and omgthebest was drunk when they first had it. Because, when eating this sober I was very underwhelmed. It's not bad pizza. But it's far from the best I've had. A slice of benny's pizza tastes about the same as a dollar slice in manhattan except... big.There's nothing special here just... big. Another reviewer said the place had an "amusement park" feel and I agree. It's paradise for a group of drunk folks but boring (and even a little gross) for someone who just wants to eat a tasty dinner.
(3)Bryan D.
So the website says the close at 1am on Monday. I call to place a carry out order at 12:15am as I get out of work. I asked if they are still open and if I can place a order. The smart guy on the phone proceeds to tell me "no!!". Then hangs up on me. Mind you, it's 12:16am now. Apparently there is a discrepancy in there closing time that's on their website. If not, then the customer service needs some help because it's horrible. I have never had problems before ordering from Benny's. Their pizza is delicious. So don't expect to get great service or a order in for pickup after 12am. It just won't happen.
(1)M C.
Wow talk about shady business - I called to order large Margarita Pizza which on their web page says 18 dollars. Guy on the phone tells me its "23 dollars to deliver" I then ask "Wait I thought the web page says its 18" Pizza guy says "yeah 2 weeks ago we changed are prices" I can see a dollar or two increase. But going from 18 to 23 = 27% increase. So I then have my wife call and ask for the same pizza delivery and he says "20 dollars" Guess how much the delivery guy will get now when he delivers including tip. 23 dollars :)
(1)Katherine C.
I would give this place a 3.5 but not allowed. HUGE slices! Great portion for the value which is pocket change for a slice. I am not a fan of toppings just thrown on top of a plain slice though, which is what you'll get for all of them. Cash only place just so you know!!
(3)Mohamed O.
I have to say I really was impressed!! Came with my family about 20 of us we order the 2 house special Pizza they where huge slices it tasted really good!! The waitress and staff was very nice to us and it was very clean. Everyone had a great time we do recommend people to come and tast the pizza you won't regret it!! Me my family would come back again!!
(5)Teddy D.
When I worked at Maxwell's I would usually walk up Washington St, get a slice to go and eat it on my way to work. Now that I live in Atlanta I have to make a pilgrimage to Benny's for a slice of their delicious pizza. I've had the pasta, calamari and other menu items, but it's the pizza that does it for me. I dream about it when I crave pizza. I've gotten pies from here, but the slice is where it's at. You can get it fast and hot. When I was younger I would eat two slice's. Now that I'm a little older I can only down 1. But for a HUGE tasty slice and a Snapple for less than $5 it's a win win all day long.
(5)Stephen G.
I should have written a review about Benny Tudino's years ago and thought I actually did. Anyway, this truly is one of the iconic pizza places in Northern Jersey. The one thing everyone should know is that the pizza slices are huge. They are served on two paper plates overlapping each other to make the slice fit. The toppings are generous as well. I think a single slice should be enough for most people but if you feel like getting your eat on, a second slice should more than do it. I've had their wings and other various foods there such as wraps and appetizers and generally I think they are decent. The service for me has always been pleasant and I generally prefer to sit outside if the weather permits because Hoboken is just a great place to sit outside and people watch while hanging out with friends.
(4)Tony H.
Good slice, not great- the value is in the size. Big pizza and tastes average. Since the pizza in hoboken generally sucks it stands above most. Unfortunately, the guys that work up front at the pizza have a douchy attitude after 9pm. Maybe it's because they are used to drunk ppl all night but that's no excuse. Everytime I go there after 9pm stone cold sober they either try to charge me more for a slice, or they don't even bother heating up a slice that's been sitting out for 20+ minutes. Tonight's pizza was barely luke warm. Very eh. Will only get when I'm craving pizza in hoboken where I live not where I work. For a better quality pie go to san guiseppe under the 14 st overpass
(3)Mike C.
Probably one of the greatest ideas ever thought of by someone to double the size of a pizza slice. Every time i'm around the area I always love going here with a group of friends because just about everything in this place I like. It's a good area, generous employees, and great prices as well. The slices are so big they literally have pictures on their site comparing the size of a newborn baby to their huge slices. If you and your friends are trying to think of a good place to eat at night go here! You will not regret it, so worth it!
(5)Anthony M.
I'm sort of confused by of all the 5 start ratings. They have your average, standard New Jersey pizza. Yes the slices are over sized and its a decent value but it's not 5 star quality. I like Benny Tudinos but I don't think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's dough, cheese and sauce; the ingredients aren't overly amazing; it's just a solid NJ pizzeria.
(3)Erskine S.
In the heart of Hoboken on Washington Street you'll find Benny Tudino's pizza shop. It's not your ordinary pizza spot; it sells the largest slices around. While waiting on my slice, I noticed a picture taped on the side of the oven. The picture was of a baby adjacent to one of their pizza slice; both the baby and the pizza slice were the same length. How funny is that? With that being said, their slices absolutely cover two regular paper plates. Over all, their regular slice was good. I should have asked them to warm my slice a little longer due to the fact that I don't like doughy pizza. I like my crust crispy. In general their prices are very reasonable for the quality/quantity.
(3)Dennise O.
It used to be better, back in the day! You could find me here..if I absolutely have no other choice. But the pizza has lost that flavor it once had. The sauce isn't too savory.. but nonetheless you can eat the slice. My biggest pet peeve is the guys working there. They are a little to flirtatious, hey I don't mind if your flirting but come on you burned my slice -_-
(3)Melissa M.
Best buffalo pizza i have ever had. Hands down. Salads are good, obviously the buffalo chicken is good. Cheese melts right off the pizza - my fav. Service is also good and you can buy beer here if you'd like to eat in. Huge slices.
(5)D G.
Best pizza anywhere! We miss it when we are not there. Try these huge slices!
(5)Analise G.
Not a big fan of this pizza place. It doesn't live up to the hyoe and there's much better to be had in Hoboken. Cheese slides right off this huge slice and i don't like the tomato sauce they use. it's just not that tasty to me.
(2)Ray S.
I love that this place is open after the bars close on Washington. If you've never tried it, you have to check out the slices here--they are huuuuuuge. A Benny's slice is about 2-3 times the size of your average corner pizzeria. They are generous with the toppings and pies are made fairly quickly. Pizza is crisp and thin. Perfect! Highly recommended !
(5)Richard M.
When I'm in Hoboken, this is the place to get pizza before going to the bars. I sometimes dine in, or take out to the bar locations that allow outside food.
(5)Aaron C.
Anyone reading this will probably agree that we have all had our drunken nights in Hoboken where just about any late-night pizza place will work. My go-to place on these nights happens to be Imposto's. So good at 3AM, but oh so horrible around noon when you realize what you've eaten just hours ago. There are few places in Hoboken that I can say are great pizzerias. Benny Tudino's is simply the best. Between the monster size of the slices and how ****ing fresh all the ingredients are, this is hands-down one of the greatest pizza places I've been to. One thing i have to applaud them on is the consistency. Every time I eat there is as good as the last time, if not better. Also, some pizzerias tend to slip on delivery when it comes to quality. Not Benny Tudino's. Their pasta dishes are also extremely commendable.
(5)Rose C.
Been going to Benny's all my life for their pizza. The imfamous big slice is where it's at. Everything from the sauce to the dough is purely fresh and tastes just right. The staff are very friendly and quick. This place always makes me feel right at home and I always look forward to the next time I can come here.
(5)Jessica G.
One of my favorite pizza places in Hoboken, especially on a drunken night and an empty stomach. Their pizzas are huge and fresh and full of flavor. Great little hole in the wall pizzeria
(5)Michael F.
This was my first time ever and I was visiting with a co-worker for lunch. This place is a must if you want pizza in Hoboken. The slices are huge, fresh, and delicious. I love the tomato sauce on it. The quality of the pizza is impressive. The price is very reasonable. More impressive was my fountain diet coke had carbonation and it wasn't syrup like other places. Worth a trip from where I live for sure. To bad I don't live closer!
(5)Aaron L.
Bigger is not always better. If you are hungry Benny's will set you up with a monster slice for 3 bucks. It's a better deal than Giovanni's across the street, but fair warning every time I eat here I feel sick afterwards...
(3)Edwin C.
I was here about 2 weeks ago with a friend of mines for the first time before going to a bar to watch the giants-cowboys game. I was told by her that the pizza here was very good and that the slices were huugee! well she was right on both things. had once slice and I was in heaven. everything was right about the pizza-sauce was tasty, and the crust and cheese was just right. I was thinking about ordering another one but then decided not too cause I didn't want to be overly full. I did order and try the bruschetta since thats one of my favorite italian appetizers. it was good, tasted fresh, but was just abit bland for me. they need to add a vinaigrette or something to it for taste. problem was solved when I added salt to it. I will be frequenting this establishment more often when I get a chance to go to hoboken. they have a new fan in me :-)
(4)May Y.
Hey. Pizza is pizza after you've had a few drinks. The pizza here, JUST ONE SLICE, is mighty fine. This slice of heaven OOZES with melted cheese and drips with sauce. I love how the toppings start to slide off when you try to pick up the monstrous piece of greasy madness. If you think NY slices are big, you've got another thing coming to you at Benny Tudino's. The whole pie has about a 3 feet diameter so I'd imagine the slice being about 1.5 feet from tip to crust. There is no attractive way to eat this pizza so don't bother trying. Pick it up (or try to), fold it, and enjoy.
(5)Shawn C.
The pizza is very standard. The service inside is good and prompt. The prices are okayish. The catch? The pizza is HUGE! AHHHHHH!!! Not much else going on here besides that. But really, the slices are big. I'm not kidding. Maybe I'm coming here at the wrong times. But the only reason that I'm giving it three stars is just that it's very, very average pizza. Good stop if you're drunk too, as they are open late.
(3)Cheryl D.
Benny's is definitely the place to go for pizza. Until tonight I would have recommended their other dishes as well, but no more! We ordered linguini carbonara, which had the most foul-smelling meat I couldn't stomach it. And the manicotti was just glop. I ditched my plate and found something else to eat in our freezer. What a disappointment and waste of good money!
(2)Joseph P.
Taste i give it a B. Pizza was good at best. I was really impressed with the portions they offered you--massive slices. However, I did have to drink a bottle of pepto bismol the next day in order to feel normal again. Would not recommend this place to someone with slight to moderate stomach issues. Over & out. -Joseph Peaux
(2)Ivonne M.
I think this place is a shit show. Yes the slices are large, but they are also really thin. They are also served to you lukewarm - you have to ask to get them warmed up which I find ridiculous. When my husband and I walked in there earlier today we thought it was crazy busy because the waitresses were running around. We sat down and realized it really wasn't that busy - yet the waitresses were still frantic which I didn't understand. We have been here twice and both times have left disappointed. Never returning.

Home of the Big Slice Baby !!! Greasy/Yummy Goodness..The next best thing after NYC Pizza
(4)Meghan J.
Best pizza in Hoboken. It's not all bedazzled, it's not gluten-free, it's not made in a fancy oven. It's cheesy and fresh with delicious sauce and damned good. And it's reasonably priced.
(5)Anne F.
Eh....the pizza is just ok. The serivce is terrible. I called for delivery on a Friday night and was asked to hold. The man on the other end then hung up on me. Ok, no big deal. I called back and the same man answered. I let it slide since I figured they were busy. We called back and ordered a Hawaiian pizza and a salad with Ranch ($29 total). About an hour later, our pizza arrived. The pizza looked like they had literally dumped a can of pineapple on top. And the $6 salad.....well, it was hot, wilted and upappetizing. Clearly the salad was sitting on the pizza during delivery. AND they forgot the salad dressing. I called the next day and asked for a credit. The angry man on the phone told me to call again tomorrow to talk to a manager. I have dropped the issue since it is only $6, but what shame to treat a customer that way. Won't go there again
(1)Heather W.
Decent pizza. Huge slices!
(3)Marcus D.
Everyone has their favorite pizza place or where they go for cheap italian food. Those that pick Dominos or Papa Johns should be taken out back and shot - I'm talking AUTHENTIC. Yah, I'm from Hawai'i, and there are few and far between places as such here (but there are). So, having said that, each of the few times I have visited New York I made it a POINT to go to Benny Tudinos to eat. Of all the places in New York and the surrounding areas, I must eat here. Why you ask? Because I'm italian, you coglione. First of all, you're in Hoboken. Nuff said. But this restaurant is as charming as, well, old-school baseball. Blue-collar beer joints. Playing stickball in the street. All with a huge hint of Italy. The wafting smell from the kitchen helps big time with that. I remember the very first time my cousin took us there. He told us to, without looking too obvious, check out the 2 guys in nice suits that are sitting in the back of the restaurant. And then, to check out another similar table that was closer to us. "Notice how they're sitting?" He said. I did my best jackson's chameleon impression, rolling my eyes subtley to get a good look but failed miserably to look normal. "Nope" I said. My cousin did his best to talk just loud enough for us to hear: "They are all sitting facing the front door of the restaurant. You know, so they can see who comes in and not worry about getting whacked." I musta stopped breathing for 3 minutes. "Ohhhhh." I was instantly in love with the place. Now, on to the food. It's served and cooked by italians, so quaint and delicate service is pretty much out the door. Lots of yelling. But entertaining nonetheless. Deal with it. Thin crust. Deal with it. Greasy. Deal with it. Cheesy. Deal with it. But holeeee sheeeeyit, best tasting slices ever. Ever ever ever. And the size of chalkboards - so huge they use 2 paper plates to deliver it to you. There's discussion on whether it's the sauce, or the cheese, or the olive oil that gives it their unique flavor, I don't care. I personally think they bake it for 30 seconds in a crystal meth oven, but that'sa just me. And they have other italian dishes that I am sure will put you to sleep the instant you close your eyes. Seriously, the pizza here is the best I have ever had anywhere. No other place comes close. Plain and simple, and with the surrounding charm of where you're at, interacting with the myriad of personalities dining next to you, people-watching while you sip on italian beer... you wish that you could do this every day with every single one of your best friends and family. That's the feeling this place brings to me, and I hope one day to you too.
(5)Steve J.
We hadn't been to Bennys in years since we live down the shore. We were in the area and Bennys didn't disappoint. We went 2 days in a row for their cheese pie. What is disappointing is the town of Hoboken. It's so 3rd world now. Are they coming in from Jersey City?
(5)Tom M.
Yes, it's a big slice. Too doughy and undercooked for my liking.
(2)Erica B.
Yummmmmm! Great staff as well!
(5)Vikrant B.
I don't know why the fuss about this place. Other than the size their is nothing to talk about these Pizzas. To be very honest the $1 slice Pizzas in Manhattan are way better than these. Even Dominos in Hoboken was better than this. However, I must admit their delivery time was pretty good. I would never order a pizza from here. It might be good for the nights when you are drunk and want to satisfy your craving for a pizza slice and don't bother about quality...
(2)Marlo G.
Yes, the slices are as big as they/are pictured! So big, in fact, if you typically are a 2 slice guy or gal, then just order 1! The first time I had Benny's, the slice was rather cheesy with a nice helping of sauce. It was a bit too undercooked for my taste and the sauce was rather sweet. On my second visit, the pie was a bit more well done, but lacked the same amount of sauce my first BT slice had. And as I'm a saucy girl, I really missed the sauce. So when I finally decided to order a whole pie, I was really specific (as I usually am): easy cheese so that the pie appears more red than white/more sauce than cheese, and well done. This is just how I prefer my pizza and as I've ordered my pies this way many a time from many an establishment, I can tell you that each pizza maker has his (I really don't think I've ever met a woman pizza maker) own perception of easy cheese, more sauce than cheese, more red than white. Initially, when they brought out the pie, BT's pizzamaker and my vision of a perfect pie didn't match up. BT's so kindly remade the pie and really made me so happy, it was everything I had dreamed and oh, so saucy! I actually laugh at the thought of the pizzamaker creating the pie, saying to himself, "You want sauce! I'll give you sauce!" and pouring on what he thinks is a ridiculous amount and what I consider to be perfect! So Benny Tudino's is great for a quick slice or a whole pie made to your specifications! They even have a variety of dinners to choose from, but as you may well guess, Benny Tudino's is known for its large slice!
(4)Rebecca P.
3 stars for solid drunk food. This stuff is greasy, all kinds of waxy cheesy, and doughy (all horrific traits if you are looking for genuinely tasty pizza). Alcohol in your stomach doesn't stand a chance against this grease mop. Going there to eat "good" pizza? We're down to 2 stars. As stated, it's doughy, which is pretty much unacceptable in the NY metro area. If you want "good" pizza, go to Grimaldi's or Napoli. If you are a pizza connoisseur, come wearing your beer goggles...
(3)Nat P.
It's good pizza. Been coming here for years when the slices were $ 1.10. The big slice is all fun and all but thankfully it has a great taste too. Great spot.
(4)David M.
Best pizza in New Jersey! This is not your fancy pants thin crust pizza, but a big, robust cheesy slice that is a meal in itself. We order the "everything" pizza, which comes pilled with all their toppings--pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, olives, peppers--all their toppings on one pie, and it is delicious! When in Hoboken, this is destination pizza eating!
(5)Derek M.
One of the best and most affordable slices of pizza around. You can't really beat a $3 plain slice of pizza that is about the size of 1.5 regular slices. Always fresh too.
(5)Tom A.
Was just walking by a little hungry and decided to stop in for a slice. What they gave me was a slice about the size of half a pie. Way too big for what I was looking for but it was good pizza.
(3)Patty G.
UPDATE: I'm now living in South Florida and have been craving Benny Tudino's Pizza for so long... people of NYC and NJ, you don't know what you have [until you can't eat it any longer]! It's true that the pizza in the North East is better than pizza anywhere else. I absolutely hate the pizzeria's down here and would give anything to have a slice of Benny's for lunch once in a while. ENJOY BENNY'S AND HAVE A SLICE FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T! This place is my favorite pizzeria! Their giant slices fill you up and taste great. I also love the atmosphere and the service is pretty good too. I have no complaints about Benny's. It's going to be tough finding a replacement for this place when I move back to Florida next year. Their slices are always great, truly good tasting pizza.
(5)Andre N.
I live in Hoboken I hear about this place the joy, the pleasure. Randomly walked in. The friend I was with wanted a calzone me i got Slice it was huge and satisfied but DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE its just a big slice ..the dough wasn't crispy the way i like. The slice had mutagen pumped into it, hence we have the big slice blaim the Shredder The waitress (they have a waitress) was in the back and said did we order up front. I said ,yes. Her response OK make sure you, take a seat (umm dahh) she didn't even bring the food to us someone else did she was on facebook or someting. I gave her a 2.00 tip because lets face it she was cute !!! think she will remember me ..probably not ..
(4)Jason H.
You come here when you have one thing on your mind.... a GIANT, gooey, greasy slice of pizza! The slices are huge for sure, at least twice as large as any normal slice that I've ever seen at your neighborhood pizza place. They crank out the pies so at times quality can suffer. At times slices can suffer from any of the following maladies: undercooked crust, too much/too little sauce and an over application of cheese. Don't excpect to have a conversation about the weather with the guys at the helm of the pizza ovens who take your order. They are short on personality at best. I have to say I kind of like the place though. It's tough to grab one of these slices, fold and walk around with it due to the sheer size. Odds are you are going to end up with some grease on your clothes. So grab a slice, a soda and sit outside at one of their tables and do some people watching on Washington St.
(3)Butterfly I.
well... these pizza slices are too big... whatever i ordered was tasteless.. Service was good.. there were more people that they could handle... poor server girl was too busy taking orders... my husband likes pizza so much..even he was okayish with these pizzas...
(3)Diane K.
The pizza slices are huge an very tasty. Customer service is outstanding!
(4)Anonymous F.
Wow, my first time at this establishment, and I am amazed. I read the reviews while at work today, and I couldn't resist but to go check it out for myself. The slices of pizza are enormous, so everyone that has reviewed this place before me; it's still on point with the massive pizza slice. I mean, I have never had a slice so massive in my life. Here's the kicker, it's a $3 slice of pizza, and actually tastes very good. I had a slice with ham, and it was just oh so tasty. If you want to eat at a place that seems to have a gag for there huge slices, this is the place, your kids will love it. If you just want a slice of pizza with your friends or family, this is the place. After a night of drinking in Hoboken, or NYC, and taking the bus or train back to Hoboken, and you need a good bite to eat, this is where you want to go!
(5)Brandon E.
I do love Benny's their delivery is always fast. I have never been in just for a slice because I live downtown and am usually not up that way. But I do love their pie, always hot when delivered and delicious. It reheats well too. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because of the guy who answers the phone. They're always rude, don't tell you how long, how much, anything they literally hang up on you once you say your order and address, no "thanks, goodbye" nothing. I mean I know you have good pizza, but no reason to be a jerk about it.
(4)Chris S.
There must be something in my genes that brings me to the best pizza joints in the tri-state area. It's like my belly has a natural radar for a great slice of cheesy, bready, and saucy goodness. I came to Benny Tudino's on my only night in Hoboken and it turned out to be the best decision I made while I was there. The pizzas can be ordered large or massive. Of course my buddies and I ordered the massive pie and split it 4 ways. The taste of each slice is not comprimised by the size of each slice and the brick oven gives the pizza a nice crust and texture. I've been to alot of places on the either side of the Hudson and can confortably say this place can battle with the best of them. B+ for the taste moves up to an A- for the uniqueness.
(4)Kim V.
The biggest slice of pizza I've ever seen for $3.00 a slice...and the flavor was great! My husband picked it up in Hoboken and brought it home (a good half an hour drive) and it reheated well even in the microwave (although each slice was so big the glass plate would not rotate in the microwave!!!). I can only imagine it would taste better actually eating there. Tasty sauce, good crust, nice amount of cheese. Looking forward to going and trying other things on the large, varied menu, like other traditional Italian dishes.
(5)Thomas G.
Food coma inducing goodness! The pizza tastes great and it's huge! Def worth checking out if your in the area. The service is usually stiff but that's just the way it is.

One of the best places in Hoboken to get a no frills, excellent slice of pizza. Sauce isn't too sweet, crust isn't to doughy, and it doesn't have the pile of grease on it you get some other places. Here's the catch- you need to order a regular sized pie from them. Something goes funky with their recipe when they apply it to the enormous slice they give you if you just walk in the door.

Ahhh - Benny Tudino's... The slices are huge and the pizza tastes great. They claim to have the largest pizza slices and I actually believe them. The slices are huge, but it's also some relatively high quality pizza. I had a sausage slice and it was $4. For the size of the slice, I actually think that's a pretty good deal. It's a pretty standard pizzeria inside with some outdoor seating. Slices are served very quickly. If I lived in Hoboken, I would definitely order from this place regularly because they have some very good pizza.

I was in Hoboken for the St. Pattty's Day parade and was starving. I suggested pizza to one of my Hoboken native friends and she instantly said Benny's or Gio's. I had Gio's before so I threw my ballot for Benny's. I walked in only to find people chowing down on HUGE pieces of pizza. Excited to get my hands on my own, I got in line. The line was quick and I got my pizza nice and fresh. Be prepared for how big the pizza is. Their were some pictures of the size compared to a new born baby and anything in the size range of someone's hand to their elbow haha. I won't lie, I did enjoy the experience. PIzza was good, but not really worth the $5. After going throw the end of the pizza I hit a lot of bread and less sauce and cheese. Personally, I like to have more pizza than crust/bread, but that's just my opinion. Bottom Line: I personally think that Benny's is an experience that most people have to experience in Hoboken. Not many places are going t to have pizza the size of a newborn child. The only reason it doesn't get the full 5/5 from me is mainly because of the price I had to pay. I was thinking that the pizza would fill me up, but I definitely needed at least two slices to get full. I am sure I just had a bad experience because it was St Patty's and they were probably rushing to get everything done quickly that the pizza didn't come out as good. Will need to visit again for that extra star.

Hands down the best pizza spot. Been going there since I was a little kid and I'm still hooked. They might not have the best waitresses but who really cares. The pizza is amazing
(5)Jonathan A.
This place has some delicious pizza. The slices are absolutely gigantic. The sauce is tasty and the pizza always seems fresh when I run in for a quick slice. Heres the thing... DONT ORDER A WHOLE PIE... it just doesn't taste the same as their individual slices. I made the mistake of ordering two pies for a party. I told everyone how good the pizza was... We ended up being really disappointed. The pie was way too greasy and it did not have the same taste. My advice is to skip the whole pies and get a bunch of individual slices. You will be much happier. Plus this pizza is excellent when eating it cold right out of the fridge the next day. So I give this 4 stars for slices and 2 stars for whole pies. AVG = 3 stars.
(3)Tully O.
One of my favorite pizza places in town. Great value and service.
(4)Grace E.
I've been eating here for as long as I can remember. To be honest, the food is pretty good for a pizza place. The people working the kitchen know what they're doing. But if the point of a review is to include constructive criticism, then here goes. This place needs a huge re-vamp. Its been the same for the past 7 years that I've been eating there, and I know for sure that they didn't renovate right before I moved to Hoboken. So, overall, I'll keep coming, but the wallpaper that is supposed to look like something nicer needs to be done away with.
(3)Alex B.
Crazy huge slices was the reason I first came here. Since then I have tried a few other things like their lasagna, hot wings, and some of the chicken and pasta dishes. The pizza is adequate, but for the size and price it is definitely worth checking out. They usually serve it too hot and make it hard to eat so your best bet is to let it cool off before going at it. The hot wings are delicious (not the usual skimpy wing with hardly any meat on it). You see a lot of Hoboken PD in here which is usually a good sign too. Cheap beer deals too. $2 Coors Light drafts make it a worthwhile visit.
(4)Rodrigo M.
Great pizza, great service. They are huge pizzas. One of the best in Hoboken. The next day, when you heat the pizza is better!!!
(3)Sean H.
They excellent giant slice pizza...
(5)Brad M.
Benny's is a Hoboken institution. The pizza slices are bigger than a baby and two slices are surely enough for a meal. (However, my friend has twice attempted the Benny's challenge of finishing a pie by himself in half an hour. Both times he failed, and legend has it that the only person who has conquered the challenge was the late rapper Big Pun) Currently the slices are $3 each which is still a good deal for a 14" long slice. When I first moved to Hoboken ten years ago I wasn't a huge fan of Benny's and found the sauce too sweet, but I guess it's an acquired taste, because now I like it. Here's my friend attempting the "Benny's Challenge": vimeo.com/720307
(4)Christine V.
Large delicious pizza. Always accomodating to large parties.
(5)Meghan T.
My mouth waters for Benny's. Benny's ain't no fancy brick oven, coal oven ish. Nope, Benny's is good ol' New Joisy pizza. And I love it. In fact, Benny's might be on my death row menu. On top of the yumminess, you can't beat $3 for a ginormous slice.
(5)Lee Anne G.
Forget about 7 Star, Benny Tudinos is the BEST pizza not only in Hoboken, but in Jersey too. Possibly in this world. The pizza itself is above average and the crust is perfect. There is a perfect balance of cheese and sauce on the massive slice they give you. Garlic bread is pretty good too. I take away a star because I think they should be open later for delivey, especially on the weekends. It is also kind of annoying that they only take cash, but I get it. Benny himself is often hanging around and makes small talk with everyone. The waitresses with the thick stereotypical Jersey accents are always entertaining. A few years ago, I left Hoboken to move back to San Francisco, but make it a point to go to Benny's almost each time I'm on the East Coast.
(4)Anthony D.
Another place that price gouged in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I cannot support businesses that are so greedy in a time of community need, when other places are giving out time, food and money for free. It makes me sick.
(1)Sunshine S.
This is my go to place when I want a monster slice of pizza while in Hoboken. The staff is friendly and this place gets pretty packed on the weekends. I love it
(4)Mike S.
It was a good thing I walked several miles from my buddy's place in Jersey City to Washington Street in Hoboken. We stopped at Benny's for a couple slices of their infamous house pizza. I am telling you that one slice was about as big as the front of my torso, I am only slightly exaggerating. This behemoth is equivalent to a small pizza. We got half sausage and half pepperoni. The sausage was thin sliced the long way and was cooked perfectly. You can't go wrong with pepperoni, although it does get a bit greasy. The pizza was fantastic, the waitress was very busy but also very friendly. She made a sincere effort to take care of us and all her customers efficiently, which is a surprise for New Jersey. Being Saturday morning, I was pleased to see they had the Chelsea v. Manchester City football game on. Unfortunately Chelsea won 3-1 but John Terry got red carded! You gotta check this place out. I recommend only one slice. Two slices did me in. I didn't eat the rest of the day. Good thing I did a lot of walking that day!
(4)Paige C.
Great for what it offers: solid takeout pizza that doesn't pretend to be anything else.
(4)Jayna Marie J.
Great little place with huge slices! It's a great post bar spot or outside on a warm summer night. The pizza is exceptional, as are the mussels. The prices are cheap, especially for the size of the portions.
(4)Miranda S.
I have tremendous sentimental feelings over Benny's. It was there when I first moved here in 1982, and it's still going strong. Somehow, there is nothing like a ginormous slice of this pizza for lunch or late-night satisfaction. It's true it's not the best in the world, but I like the tomato-to-cheese ratio and their red sauce has a nice flavor. And you can't beat the price-to-size ratio either :-).
(4)Lindsey C.
Umm... No. The pizza was exactly like the Two Bros dollar Pizza by Port Authority, except giant size... So like, $2 pizza. Not enough cheese and hardly any flavor. :/ However.... The wings there are AMAZING. that's pretty much the only reason I would go back there. The dining area is old and out dated and dirty.there was a giant out of work jukebox across from us the whole time. The waitresses act pleasant enough to your face, but you can hear them talking to each other about customers CLEAR AS DAY across the room. It's a classic that is no more.
(2)Aracely G.
the only thing i like about this place is the size of a pizza slice, and it's price. but it's only plain, and I'm a buffalo chicken girl anyway, so i can never just walk in and get a slice of that the staff is always pretty rude if you sit and TRY to enjoy a meal...always feel like they're rushing you. I'd rather order for delivery than sit and dine there
(2)Dan G.
A slice as big as your head! They make a pie like no one else at Benny's. The slices are beyond huge. Eat one and your done. Eat two and you're through. Not too thin, not too thick, but a little floppy. There are a zillion pizza places in Hoboken, but you gotta make sure you try Benny's.
(4)Floyd W.
Great pizza, damn good lasagna especially with the sausage. It's cheap and they delivered in a timely manner. I recommended. And when I go back on tuesday im gonna try the damn house pie which is 32 inches wide. Go and eat it dammit its awesome food
(4)Brittany L.
Stick to Benny's if you want mediocre giant pizza slices. I have gotten their other food a few times only to remember why I never suggest or think its a good idea to eat here. With so many other great local places in Hoboken I'd suggest going elsewhere. This place just isn't my flavor.
(2)Eliza G.
I don't get it. I think the pizza is gross and I live pizza. I've gone a few times. Never been remotely impressed and always throw it put. No more!
(1)Barb B.
I have to agree with the other reviews of Benny's that the pizza is not amazing, but it is a huge slice, and for three bucks, the price just cannot be beaten. Also I think the owner is super cute. I didn't realize he was a soccer aficionado but he told me I looked like a soccer player when I stopped in after a run. I think that is super cute. I have to say I am amazed anyone can eat more than one slice. I feel like it is a whole loaf of bread and a pound of cheese when I eat one, and I am a good eater. I agree the crust is not crunchy enough on the outside and the sauce is on the sweet side, but I still wouldn't kick it out of bed.
(4)Karina U.
Pizza is big but otherwise its just ok, nothing to write home about. My boyfriend's slice looked better than mine so maybe I just got unlucky with my piece but it was very dough-y. The employees and manager were yelling back and forth the whole time we were eating about different managerial things like being paid and leaving early, etc, so it wasn't the most pleasant eating environment. Good for a quick bite to eat, they took care of our order fast. My bf really liked it so we may have to go back so I can try another slice... I'm giving it 3 stars until then. On a side note, parking cost us $30 on a friday night in Hoboken after parking in a garage (stupid on our part) so beware of all rates before you park.
(3)Doug P.
This place was hyped up to me even before I moved to Hoboken a couple years ago. I finally got around to trying it and it blew me away. It's reasonably priced and the food is delicious. We tried several types of slices and the caesar salad the first time and all agreed it couldn't really be any better (coming from a big pizza guy). Next time I got the avocado salad and mozzarella sticks delivered and it was another 10/10 experience. Employees are surprisingly friendly over the phone and delivery was quick. Going to work Benny's into the rotation for sure and I don't write many reviews but think these guys definitely earned one.
(5)Cory N.
PIZZA THE SIZE OF A BABY Taste was alright, not going to be a blow your mind meal.
(2)Jamie K.
One slice is all you'll need! Biggest slices in Hoboken. Service is super fast. Con: Parking SUCKS!!
(4)Holly N.
Everybody who is anybody likes Benny's. Grabbing a slice on the run works, but they are best at delivery. Our favorite topping is the meatballs and we usually pair that with either mushrooms or spinach. The pizza is always delivered hot and fresh with loads of toppings. As for service in the establishment, it's always kind of a miss which is probably why delivery is so much better. Note, for delivery they don't accept cards so you have to have cash.
(4)Rich A.
Columbians rejoice! Benny Tudino's Pizzeria ( hobokenmenus.com/menufil… ) offers the same GIANT $3 slices of pizza -- cooked slightly crisp on the bottom with slightly chewy dough, sweet tomato sauce and gooey cheese -- that we've grown accustomed to enjoying at Koronet Pizza on Broadway and 111th Street. You want toppings on your pizza? FUGGEDABOUTIT! You're not coming here for the toppings. All of their giant slices (except for pepperoni) begin life as a 32" cheese pie. Toppings are sprinkled on a plain slice, tossed in the oven for a couple of minutes, and served up. As a result, the toppings don't get the opportunity to get really incorporated into the cheese. There's little more nostalgic and satisfying to me than a $3 giant slice of greasy, piping hot pizza after a couple of pitchers of beer.. but, wait.. unlike Koronet Pizza, Benny Tudino's Pizzeria has a liquor license! The powers that be in Hoboken have graciously permitted us to guzzle down beer or wine while enjoying a giant slab of pizza. Hallelujah!
(4)Kari B.
Sober or drunk this pizza is perfection. Biggest slice I've ever seen
(5)Louis R.
Been coming here for 5 years to power up prior to gettin splashed in 'boken. The size of a slice is approximately the size of mah blanket. On par with Mario's in terms of taste, but the fact that I can pitch a tent with a whole pie, gives this spot the edge. beers + pizza = drunk 'boken blue print
(3)Shaun H.
Definitely worth getting the 'biggest slice in NJ,' but not much else. For $3 it's definitely worth it. Everything else is kind of overpriced, but the slice is definitely worth it.
(4)Rommel H.
As I write this review, I can already see the glares from all the NYers who look at me in disgust for even mentioning a NJ pizza join along my "Best of" pizza series. I've endured your glares for my flip flops in "cold" weather, so I think I'll live this time as well. Benny's is just an amazing spot for one of the biggest slices o' pie I've had this side of the Mississippi I even heard the ninja turtles moved onto an abandoned PATH line just to be closer. And not only are the slices big, but they taste great AND only run you $3 (extra toppings are of course extra). And if you're man enough to try and tackle a huge pie, it looks like it comes straight out of a MvF episode (every self-respecting Yelper can figure out what MvF stands for). So after such a glowing review, why only 4 stars says the hypothetical leprechaun inside my brain? Well Travis, it's because you have to make the trek all the way to Hoboken, and if that wasn't bad enough, it's a journey just to get there. It took us so long to get there, one of my friends died of dysentery en route. That's an Oregon Trail reference. Boom. Seriously, if you're in the Hoboken area and are looking for some quality grub, give Benny T's a shot.
(4)Jordan S.
My first choice for pizza in Hoboken. Great place for a big, greasy slice. And when I say big, I mean HUGE. It's still only $5 for a slice and a soda though. They are so busy they can hardly keep single slices ready! I wouldn't want to sit inside because it's so hot, crowded, and noisy, but sitting out at the tables outside on a late night is fun.
(4)Dot S.
Just because this place has the "biggest slice in Hoboken" does not make it a pleasant place to eat, unless you're drunk out of your mind and don't care about their arrogance. This place has let the hype get to their heads. The staff is rude as FUCK and probably wouldn't even smile if you paid them too. Yes, most are from Italy but then again, I have been to Italy several times and they too are arrogant and rude and customer service is very low on their list of priorities. Sure, if you're blonde, tall and cute, they will whip you up a fake smile to try and get into your pants but that's about it. Their pizza by the way is tasty but the fat/grease just drips right off it. Fattening as HELL. They can take their smug attitude and shove it up their Italian asses. I am 50% Italian (biological father was born and raised in Venice) so for me to say this, you need to know I mean it fiercely. Pffft. ps. They have some BALLS asking $4.50 for a SLICE of Pizza!
(1)Jeff F.
Ran in here today to try their pizza since it's considered best in Hoboken by some (FYI - I've been to Grimaldi's...it's 3 stars tops). Here's the rundown: -Pizza - 4 stars - a bit greasy is the only negative (really thought the monster sizing of the slice would somehow make it mediocre - I was wrong). However, Filippo's still wins best slice in Hoboken for me. -Price - 5 stars because a truly monstrous slice is $3 (w/ tax) -Service - table service sucked...1-2 stars and the primary reason Tudino's isn't getting 5 stars -Atmosphere - outdoor seating on Washington with a monster slice is money
(3)Jasmine I.
I came here by recommendation from a local and had one cheese slice. Only $3.00 and I was satisfied! The slices are HUGE!!!! Pizza was delish and not excesively oily. Affordable prices for great tasting pizza served by exceptionally friendly folks. Great neighborhood feel. Benny Tudino himself was sitting there having lunch and decided to chat it up with me! I will defnitely be stopping by the next time I find myself in Hoboken. Thanks Benny and staff!
(5)Matthew E.
Absolutely basic pizza, Absolutely amazing. This is exactly what I think an old pizzeria in Hoboken would look like. The slice is huge, thin crust, a little more doughy than in NYC, potent goodness. A lot of what makes this place awesome is the down to earth atmosphere. Benny is usually sitting in the booth next to the door and loves chatting it up with his customers. One of my favorite places to watch European soccer, which you can't find too often in town full of flat screens.
(4)Jennifer C.
Biggest pizza is no doubt BUT what I liked the most is the pizza dough. It was just right! Definately put this place on your map if your looking for good pizza in Hoboken.
(4)Holly C.
The pizza slices are ridiculously big. It's about the size of 1.5 slices of 3 brothers pizza down by Belmar (if anyone's familiar with the jersey shore). For the size of the slice, they make it well and it's VERY cheap. The crust is on the thinner side & slightly crispy (I'm a thin crust type of girl). The workers are nice too. I went there the other night when they were getting closer to closing time & ordered 6 slices of pizzas. They gave us 2 extra slices for free. Overall, great for the price & size. In the big scheme of the pizza world, it's decent (but not AMAZING - hence the 4 stars).
(4)Chantel B.
Visited hoboken to try cake boss' desserts and stumbled upon this pizza joint...in LOVE with the spinach and garlic calzone! HUGE portion and amazing garlic taste! I would probably make a special visit to jersey just for Benny!!
(5)Shelly L.
STAYYYY AWAAAAYYYY Im so upset with this place. This incident just happened 15 minutes ago as i am writing this. This is by far the most RACIAL pizzeria i have been to. I went in and asked for an rice ball. As to many who are Italians or Italian food lovers, rice ball is fried ball of rice with meat in the middle served with marina and mozzarella on the top also known by Arancini. They said they have no idea what it is and they guy who works there says maybe you want to try a Chinese restaurant. I was very appalled by his comment being Asian myself. And i explained to him what it is and hes says nope that's in a Chinese restaurant. I would be fine if he said that they didn't have it or don't know what it is. But seriously? The Chinese restaurant comment? All in all this is a pizzaria that is either: Not run by Italians Have people cooking the food who doesn't know what Italian food is Has racist people who either own the place or work there or ALL OF THE ABOVE So if you are not italian, dont go to this place.
(1)Edwin M.
I've loved this place for years. I thought perhaps it only tasted good during my bar hopping days but even now when those days are long over I still LOOOOOOOVE me some Benny's pizza. The slices are big and taste REALLY good. The service leaves a lot to be desired but who cares when all you want is some good NJ pizza! I learned that the hard way when I walked in one day and asked the guy behind the counter how he was doing. His reply "do you really care how I am doing? watcha want?" LOL He was right, all I wanted were my 2 slices of pizza with my one bottle of Orange Boylan root beer!
(4)Florencia I.
HUGE slices and good service. My waitress I believe her name was Alexa was such a sweetheart! The entertainment of this place is the crowd of drunken people that come in in the after hours. very entertaining, you should sit back and enjoy with your slice of pizza! They're one of the few places open very late [every] day. Stop by!
(5)Josh O.
Amazingly HUGE & delicious pizza! The only place I eat from when I come to Hoboken!
(5)Sonja S.
Really great pizza. Stopped in today for my first time and ordered a large 1/2 pep 1/2 cheese. Will definitely go back again.
(4)marina a.
Ok, so it's not the best slice of pizza around but if you want a slice of pizza the size of a human baby, this is the place to go. Their double fried, extra crispy wings are my go to self indulgence meal when I've had a horrible day. Open late, cheesy atmosphere filled with Stevens kids. Cheap. Hey, at least you know what you're getting yourself into.
(3)Jim M.
Not all the best pizza is in Chicago or NYC. Ask any local college kid and Benny's will certainly be one of the suggestions. Pizza slices are just three bucks plus $1 per extra topping. Calzones are huge and the salad as good as you will get anywhere. NYC as the king of pizza, fuhgeddaboudit! It is Hoboken!
(4)Matty G.
The second place that I have been to that totally deserves a five star rating. Benny's is awesome if you are in Hoboken and looking for some great pizza. Whether you are looking for a quick slice or are stumbling home, Benny's is solid for anytime of the day. The first two great things about this place are the prices and the portions. They give you a huge slice (one of their slices is considered two normal slices) and they only charge you four dollars for it. I would only bother getting one because unless you can go beyond three plates at a buffet, you won't get past one slice here. The staff is wicked cool and are always happy to help you out. The guys working at the oven always seem to be having a good time when they are not busy busting each others balls. I've never sat in the back where there are waitresses so I can't comment on them. The place itself has that old pizzeria feeling and is covered with pictures of different people from the area. You can choose to sit and eat either in the front, in the back with a waitress, or even outside where you can do either. Overall Benny's gets a well deserved five star rating because of their awesome pizza, cheap prices, huge portions, cool atmosphere and their friendly staff. I already plan to return numerous times and cannot wait for my next trip there.
(5)Niyant S.
Tried it for the first time, and I'll admit I was pretty pleased for the most part. We ended up here after a night of drinking in Hoboken, and had hear that this is the best spot for some great late night pizza. Sadly, we got there at 1:00 AM expecting the place to be open and busy, however the guy said that they are closing. Our only option was to get a slice of plain pizza that had been sitting around for a while. Wanting pizza really bad, we obliged, but they didn't even offer to warm the slices up. The pizza did taste good, and was the biggest slice I had ever had (at 3 bucks a slice, also a bargain), but we were very disappointed overall. I mean seriously, what the hell kind of food joint closes its doors at 1:00 AM on a Saturday night in Hoboken? Major disappointment since all I wanted was a pepperoni pizza, but alas Benny, you failed to deliver. For that, I give 2 stars, and the only reason I didn't give 1 is cause the slice was still pretty good (although alcohol may have blown this out of proportion).
(2)Jeremy W.
Monster pizza by the slice is very good but not great; the pies are the same as any other pie. Open late, which is great, but I really like the wings. They give you a side of sauce and a side of blue cheese with every order so you can flavor to taste, which is much better than some of the sloppy wings you can get from delivery. A definite Hoboken staple that's worth a try if you've never been there (or if you have been there and know where to stop on the walk home at 2am!)
(3)Dina T.
Fast and easy delivery! Ordered it on the first really snowy night of this year and got our pizza within 35 minutes. Were very pleasant on the phone and very easy to order from! Will definitely order from there again!
(4)Joe P.
Great slice of pizza. Only problem I have with this place is the taste of a pie I order via delivery never tastes quite as good as a slice you buy at the counter
(4)Mike B.
Fairly average quality pizza, above-average quantity. They sell beer, that's the only reason I'm bumping it up to 3 stars.
(3)Teddy P.
Are you a Geo's person or a Benny's person? That is the question! Benny's signature 21 INCH pizza is enormous! Their slices are HUGE!!! At $3 for a cheese slice that is easily 2 times the size of a normal slice you can not beat the price.
(3)A. J.
GO during the week, I had the pizza here and it was good excepton the weekends when it's cold, tasteless and soggy!
(3)Tony K.
Went here last night for the first time. Definitely a place to try at least once while in Hoboken but for me, nothing that was outstanding. Yes, the pizza is huge and good, but not great. I was really hungry and actually ate 2 whole slices in less than 10 minutes. All my friends were amazed and some could not even finish one. There was a lot of crust which was dry and not tasty. Service was quick and guys behind the counter were nice. It's really just an okay pizza place with big slices.
(3)Mary D.
We ordered a pie and wings here and were unhappy. The pizza was chewy and the wings were basically just breading. We ended up throwing everything in the trash. Just because the slices are huge doesn't mean they are good.
(1)Mary N.
Rudest people I've ever seen trying to run a business. We went late and to kick us out they turned off the lights. They kept telling us to get out while there was a loud group of kids there that were never once told to leave. Meanwhile, I was still waiting for them to finish making my food. That's not how you run a business. I'll never step foot in that place again.
(1)Mohit S.
Awesome pizza. We were there with a group of 5. Prompt and courteous service.
(5)Evan M.
Benny's used to have good tasting pizza. He switched to cheap cheese, the sauce isn't great, so the pizza taste has really declined. That combined with the rude guys that work there make it a low rating for me. And the giant slice thing is a big 'who cares' at this point.
(2)Ed A.
If you're in Hoboken and you've never been to Benny's, you owe it to yourself to stop by. The taste won't compare to, say, a personal brick oven pizza, but then again this is pizza by the slice. The slice is huge, which is an understatement in and of itself. If you order a pie, make sure you order the house pie and not just a regular pie. The house pie is the gargantuan sized one that's very filling. Prices per slice went up recently (all around Hoboken not just here), but $3 for the slice is the same as you pay across the street at Giovanni's, but you get about 30% more pizza for the buck. I usually just get my slices plain or at most with Pepperoni. Don't try and order it with a bunch of random toppings as you won't appreciate the slice. Overall, my favorite pizzeria in the area - highly recommended.
(5)Lovet O.
Blah! I ordered the plain slice and I wasn't "WOW'ed". Besides [Benny Tudino's] selling large slices, the taste was just...average.
(2)Tommy S.
Get's pretty damn warm in there in the summer time and you'll have to deal with a crowd if you eat there, but I'm not there for ambiance. I'm there for the delicious huge slices! Order a house pie if you stay in... the thing needs it's own table.
(4)Douglas W.
For the past 12 years I have been searching for the best pizza I have ever tasted since 2000 and this place certainly is it. Everything was perfect, the staff, the atmosphere, tv, and a block away from seeing NYC across the water. Everything came together and made this place the best pizza I have ever had. Even the next morning, it was cold, but still darn tasty. Sadly though, I live by San Francisco and can't come back until I'm in the NJ/NY area again. I loved it, my girlfriend loved it, and I think pretty much anyone else who loves pizza, will love it. Their slices are huge and price and good. Thank you.
(4)Henry Y.
A slice that has to straddle 2 paper plates to stay horizontal a la the bigger the cushion the better the pushin'. Served hot, tangy with the right amount of tomato, and cheesy but not cheezy. $3 gets you just enough, not more not less, but definitely a perfect slice.
(5)Michael S.
The best pizza in New York City is actually just across the Hudson in Hoboken New Jersey...Benny's is the best pizza I've had on the east coast...hands down. LA should take a page out of their book.
(5)Yanel B.
This pizzeria has the largest slice of pizza that I have ever seen. The staff are not very friendly. I went there with my son and my best friend and of course they made a bet that I can eat three slices. I lost the bet cause I only ate two.lol You would need to experience it yourself to believe how huge the slices are...
(5)J S.
The chicken parm is delicious! I hear the pizza is great too. Definitely stop by if you're in the area
(4)Mike V.
The pizza in Jersey
(5)Susanna K.
OK you need to trust me on this....the pizza is huge and it's reallly good. Picture a slice of pizza the size of your face!

Here's what I like as my prototypical pizza - Tasty and plentiful sauce, light on the cheese, minimal amount of doughy crust on the outside with about a half inch crust on the back. I like it cooked so that it's that nice middle ground of not soft and floppy and not stiff as a board. The 'za here is very heavy on the cheese and the crust is limp. Less cheese would help the sauce stand out and maybe the dough would cook a little more. They definitely need to leave the pies in the oven for 1-2 minutes longer than they do. Sorry guys, not a funny or cool review, just the truth as i see it.

This place gets four stars for having great pizza (and as everyone else mentioned, the slices are huge!) and a fifth star for customer service. My friend and I were seated at a booth and while waiting for our food, our waitress politely asked if we wouldn't mind moving to the next booth over to accommodate for a larger group. We had no problem with this, especially since all we had were our drinks and it took us all of ten seconds to move. We were then offered beers on the house for our cooperation on top of the owner personally coming to thank us. It's a small gesture, but it really stood out to me. And as I said earlier, the food here is solid. I've only had their pizza and cheesy garlic bread, but you can bet I'll be back to check out other items on their pretty extensive menu.
(5)Jeff M.
Pizza is decent! The only reason I go here is because the size of a slice is like 2 slices of pizza put together! It definitely satisfied my hunger!
(3)Danielle A.
So I came here twice with my sister. One night we celebrated her birthday and the other time we came to grab a huge slice. The second time we came the service was pretty bad. The waitress disappeared and the restaurant was nearly empty. (Don't you hate that?) So I walked up to the counter to pay for our food and the guy behind the counter was extremely rude for no reason. He was looking at me crazy and he was acting like he didn't want to take the money. My thing is this- treat your customers with respect and they will come back and support your business. If you don't- they won't. End scene.

The pizza snob in me hates the idea of quantity over quality... but the slices are so big! For those times when I don't care what I'm eating as long as it's covered in cheese ::cough:: late night ::cough:: Benny's is a gift from God. Is the crust undercooked? Yes. Is the sauce flavorless? Absolutely. Does the staff understand they're supposed to be nice to people who buy their pizza? Doubt it. Will I still eat it as I stumble home? Always. A few more visits and I'll start to expect all my food to be the size of a newborn.
(3)V P.
The pizza is good. Not near the best by any means. I don't understand why people are saying that? It tries to be a NY thin crust pizza but the crust FAILS. Very typical NJ style crust. Needs to be thinner and improved. Good cheese and sauce but nothing special. Service is typical and again nothing special. By far the best thing about the slice as mentioned numerous times is the SIZE. Worth the $3/slice. But that's about it. Fix the crust!
(3)Marc S.
Two slices, two cokes = $9 total and the best pizza on the planet. Unbeatable
(5)Jason S.
A great place to satisfy your late night hunger. They make an ENORMOUS slice that you can sit down with or take to go. Very good. This is not the wood oven, fancy topping kinda slice- go elsewhere for that. Its a great version of the standard slice that makes NY/NJ pizza so great.
(4)Phil T.
The only reason this isn't 1 star is because the pizza itself was really good. The staff is incredibly rude, however. They informed our group that the place would be closing in 15 minutes only AFTER we had placed our orders and had been waiting for the food to arrive. Instead of turning us away, they stared at us as we attempted to gulp down our meal as fast as we could. They brought us the check with 1 minute until closing and wound up turning the lights off on us because we weren't paying them fast enough. If they tipped us off when we first arrived that they would be closing and kicking us out, we would have ordered everything to go. I've never been treated so poorly at an eatery and I regret giving them any business at all.
(2)Brian B.
There isn't much to say. The pizza slices are by far the largest I've ever seen in my life. The cheese is delicious and goo'ey, and the dough is always cooked just right. I can't give them five stars, simply because it's just a simple pizza joint... but if you're in Hoboken and wondering where to get a slice? Without question, come to Benny's.
(4)Melissa G.
Yum! finally pizza that is as good as those places across the river. After a long walk on Washington, I passed this place with a big pizza fanatic. Noticing how large the slices were, we thought it would be fun to try one. What a wonderful surprise. Not only are these slices huge, they are so delicious. So far this is my favorite pizza in hoboken. Staff is very Italian and friendly to the ladies, which is entertaining to watch if you decide to sit down and eat. The pizza is mouth watering. The cheese and sauce are almost juicy as they hang off of the crust. Crust is not too thick and not too thin. Got this once for delivery and while not as fresh and delicious as when you order at Benny's it was still good. will return often :)
(4)James L.
With Pizza choices all over Hoboken I say give Benny's a try! My experience is that they treated me like family from owner to dough roller, they really do have humungous slices, prices are competitive, and they have beer and outdoor seating (for all those people who like that sort of thing.. I myself DOOOOO)... They get 4 stars only because I know there are pizza snobs all over the city and Hoboken area. This will not get a snob gyrating, but if you are hungry for a big slice at the right price. Go to Benny's it is definitely not the wrong choice.
(4)Jo H.
Back up, Texas. Jerzey's got this one. Biggest slice - and they mean it! Cheesy, greasy, hot delicious, cheap wondrous goodness. Go for lunch, a (giant!) snack, dinner, or teetering home from your drunken escapades at the downtown Hoboken bars :)
(5)Will F.
The best tasting pizza in New Jersey! You can't go wrong with Benny Tudino's. Large portioned slices, a great cheese to sauce ratio and friendly service. Try their dishes too! They're Shrimp Scampi is awesome! I LOVE BENNY TUDINO'S!
(5)Britt N.
Hoboken is, first off not a town I frequent very often. In fact, I rarely frequent New Jersey at all, but I was in the area with friends about we got really hungry at midnight. Out of all the pizzeria's we passed none of them caught our immediate attention, and neither did Benny's, but for some strange reason all eight of us wound up at this place. After the two cars drove around in the rain for half an hour, (our car got lost for a while, we're from New York) we all eventually met at Benny's, and were seated in the back to a table for eight. From the outside, Benny's looks small, but it's not. Once you walk in you view the extra space that stretches out into the back, up a few steps and into an added room with more tables and people. Our waitress was a kind woman with a patient spirit, so we gave her credit for that, and she took our drink orders and even gave us advice on which pizza pie would be the best and cheapest for all of us. We ordered the "House Pie," which our waitress suggested, and within fifteen minutes we had a table sized, hot, half-cheese, half-pepperoni pizza that made us all water at the mouth. It was a genuine experience to say the least, since I don't normally visit Jersey and see how the people really are. I enjoyed my time with friends, as I always do, and the food added something extra to the whole experience. One friend even mentioned that I should have brought my camera to take photos of the pizza, and I knew it had been a mistake that I had forgotten. The next time I go to Jersey and a bunch of people are hungry, I'm going back to Benny Tudino's for another great big slice that will keep me full all night.
(5)Samantha B.
Love love this place! Pizza is huge for great price! Oh and it's deeee- licious!!!
(5)Michael G.
Order a Slice and you'll be fine. That being said, the Slices here are HUGE. Jumbo Slice in Adam's Morgan, DC ain't got nothin' on Benny's. A slightly inebriated walk home from any of Hoboken's fine establishments. The crust is the best part. It is dough and soft like fresh baked bread. FYI, Benny's closes around 1:00am.
(4)Danielle W.
I love the pizza here. I live uptown, so this is the first time I'm trying this place, I usually go to the place near City Bistro because its closer. The pizza delivery came quite fast... we ordered a custom pizza (half mushroom, half cheese) -- they got the order right and it was fast and fresh. The pizza dough is fluffy and the cheese and sauce seemed to be fresh/high quality. It is definately the best pizza I've had in Hoboken to date. I'm giving 4 stars because we also ordered the Chicken parm dinner. It was ok. Salty and decent -- I've had better but it was fine. But go here for the pizza. I also saw they have specials (pizza, calzone, salad combo for cheap during certain weekdays...) which I'd like to try.
(4)Carlos N.
Giovanni's and Tudino's are constantly at war (and in collaboration) with each other. Tudino's has the bigger slice, while Giovanni's has the better taste. I think both of them are pretty average. You will most definitely get a HUGE slice of pizza from Tudino's. However, I don't really think it's that great. Nothing terribly impressive about it other than its ginormous size and late hours (where it makes a lot of its money. This is Hoboken after all.)
(3)Kiet L.
I have had Benny's since the early 90's. Back then, I thought it was the bombdiggity! Fresh, hot, oozing gigantic slices of pizza. Loved it. Crust was a bit soggy, but it tasted so good nonetheless. Now, I don't think it as good any more. Don't know why. I guess I've grown up and tasted many other pizza shops, and Benny's keeps on slipping down on my rankings. But most definitely try it if you have not. You might become a big fan.
(3)Ciao B.
Thousands of miles away, I'm salivating at the thought of having a huuuge and disgustingly delicious slice of Benny Tudino's pizza. If this isn't perfection, I don't know what is. I'm even willing to overlook the occasionally rude service at the register. Yep, I'm in a pizza state of mind.
(5)Homer S.
Perfect for the summer. A nice slice and some draft beer in a plastic cup. Sign me up? Would I go here with my friends and family? No. Would I head here after boozing it up elsewhere? Yes.
(4)Kristina M.
I wanna say that this is the best pizza Ive ever had but as a New Yorker - thats not gonna happen. This is definitely the biggest Ive ever had. I went with a handful of friends for a birthday thing - and he refused to order anything else but a plain house pizza. He made a good call. The pizza was made perfectly - no rawness, no burnt sides, fluffy crust. Most pizza Ive had are usually doused with grease but this was not. When you fold most slices, the grease usually runs down some end, and sometimes down your arm. This was not the case with Benny's. Granted the slice was big but I was up for seconds. The atmosphere was cozy and the waitress was witty. We liked her. Its worth going through the Holland.
(5)Danielle B.
This is real pizza! Although San Francisco is full of fabulous food, they don't know how to make a proper slice of pizza. I was in pure heaven when I had one of Benny Tudino's super-sized paper thin slices free of all the crap they throw on pizza on the west coast. I wish this place delivered cross country!
(5)Ben M.
I don't live in hoboken anymore, but I need to give Benny's a review because I miss there pizza. This is the epitome of good NJ pizza. Delicious -not to thin, not too thick- crust, great sauce, lots of cheese, and tons of fresh toppings. Top 3 in a town of at least 20 great pizza places. Can't wait to order a pie next time I am in town
(5)Keith C.
Although the pizza is large, I find the flavor a little lacking and the cheese tends to not sit right on the pizza. Its nice that is open late though when other places in Hoboken are closed! And they have a few big tables so you can go here in a large group without needing them to push a million tables together. Although there are many pizza places in Hoboken, its one that's good to visit from time to time, but its surely not my favorite.
(3)Anthony M.
I know I've eaten decent slices here in the past but...today they served me undercooked pizza and RAW pepperoni. Granted it was St. Paddys and Hoboken was a cluster-F. However, no excuses, no raw pizza, no matter what. They get 2 stars instead of 1 because the serve beer.
(2)Matt C.
The best spot huge pizza and they have beer and wine A+
(5)Evan M.
One of the Best slices of pizza in tri-state area! Period.
(5)Carlo L.
NY pizza the size of NY! Tastes too good to not give them their credit. Cash only and parking sucks.
(4)Annette P.
This is the best pizza you're going to find in Northern Jersey. HUGE slices (yes, you can order the normal size but who wants to do that?!) Bennys never disappoints and the pizza and ingredients are always fresh. Grab a slice to go and walk over to Sinatra Dr. and enjoy the view.
(5)Ted L.
Great tasting... great big slices... what's not to love about Bennys?
(4)david k.
Home of the biggest slice in NJ. Always good after a night of drinking. The quality of the pizza seems to depend on what day of the week it is. I love that it's $3 a slice, but sometimes the cheese is lacking, or the crust is burnt. The only day I've gotten pizza that was cut well, fluffy with a crispy crust and the right amount of sauce and cheese... Sundays. I love their pizza, as long as I get it on a Sunday. All in all, still the best slice in Hoboken.
(3)Pasquale R.
I cannot understand how people actually enjoy the pizza here!!!! Yeah, it's a big slice at a reasonable price but it tastes like sh*t. People who go here and enjoy the pizza usually were out drinking all night and need a quick fix. I was sooooooo disappointed with the pizza. I would rather pay for 2 slices of "normal" pizza as opposed to this garbage. You want real pizza, go further up 495/3 to Clifton/Nutley...this place couldnt hold a shred of mozz to any place in those areas!
(1)Michelle L.
If you want a monster slice to fill you up with a fountain soda or cold beer, Benny's is where you want to be. It's cheap and tasty. Is it the best pizza in Hoboken, no, but it's tasty and one slice is enough to tide you over for a meal. I'm serious, their slices are like the size of a small child. One thing I don't like about Benny's - if you want a topping, they throw it on top and put it in the oven, it's not baked in with the cheese, unless you order a pie. But, if you come to Hoboken, don't miss out on a Benny's slice - it's a must!
(4)Alana C.
Huge, cheap slices. Bigger than my head, and mine is pretty big. Not gonna lie. Came here over the summer with a friend and really enjoyed it. Next time I'm in Hoboken I'll definitely stop by again!
(4)Catherine M.
If you want a big slice this is your place. If you want a good slice, go else where. The specialty pizza's are not bad.
(3)Wesley J.
YES. Huge and quite tasty slices. The prices don't seem amazingly cheap until you realize that you're basically paying for two slices worth when you're buying just one. Only issue I've had though is that when I ordered a mushroom slice at one point they basically dumped a whole ton of canned ones- good thing the pizza itself was great enough.
(4)Santiago A.
I freaking loved eating pizza here! There is absolutely nothing I did not like about this place. The price of $2.75 for a Monstrous slice of pizza is unbelievable. They have to serve it on two plates just to hold its glorious volume. I think the prices have gone up a quarter since then, but it's still the only thing in the NYC/NJ area that isn't exorbitantly expensive (especially relative to prices seen when growing up in the midwest). You can grab it to go on your way to the PATH train, or grab a chair in their outdoor seating on Washington Street. They even serve beer! What's not to love?
(5)Oriana S.
I agree with Anthony M. Same thing happened to my friends and i on St patty's. Raw pizza with raw sausage. Ppl were sick from eating there and not from st patty's day drinking and that is an utter shame other than that, benny tudino's is regularly not that bad
(2)Leo K.
Many people might remember how busy college was, and how little time there was to eat. Well, luckily for me I went to school in Hoboken, which has an excellent fast food scene. Of all the place that a student can go to eat good food for an amazing price, Benny's was the best. Not just because it was cheap and had really large slices, but because it had quality. To add to that they had a really friendly family atmosphere. I often saw Benny siting next to the front door talking to visitors. A fun fact: he sells a CD with his songs next to the cashier. The pizza was always perfect; never cold or stale. Benny's is the best pizzeria I in the NYC area. All those other famous place in NYC are just tourist traps in comparison.
(5)Alex C.
Hoboken is the land of 1,000 pizza shops, but this one kinda stands out. Lights flashing at night kinda pull you toward it, especially when you are a few deep. Very casual inside, slices are enormous, the crust is really really good. I would put it in my top 5 places in hoboken to get a slice, drunk or sober. The buffalo wings are not very good, beware of them. But overall, benny's a good guy and a pretty good slice of pizza
(4)Andrerw B.
I returned to Benny's after a long absence. Um, the pizza still sucked. I seriously think it was among the worst slices of pizza I have ever had. But what should they care as long as they keep making huge slices people will continue to come. I guess people would rather have quantity over quality.
(1)Zach Y.
definitely enjoyed the very large piece of pizza but its was a pretty standard-tasting slice
(3)Taryn C.
When I lay me down to sleep every night, I pray to the gods of pizza. They exist in New Jersey (and some in NYC) but Benny Tudino's is my fave. Ever. I dream of their pizza in my sugar plum and melted mootz visions. You go there, you get a giant slice for $3.00. Get a draft beer and call it a day. You will not be disappointed. Their crust is very doughy, but cooked just right so you're not scratching your throat with rough crust. Their cheese and sauce is the perfect orangey blend. They don't doctor it up with too much oregano or Italian seasonings, which works for me. You can make a pizza better for sure with those, but more often than not, I see a lot of folks ruin a good pizza like that. I get plain, that's all they make but they can add pepperoni or mushrooms to it when you order. just be forewarned -- the added toppings I feel takes away too much from the pizza. I'm kind of a purist when it comes to it. So yeah, if I'm in Hoboken, I need to stop at Benny's. Heck, I even had a friend come visit me in Manhattan and she begged me to go into Hoboken to grab her a slice since she wouldn't get there. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS!! Also not to take away too much, they have good dishes too. I am partial to their crab ravioli.
(5)John T.
I stopped by for a slice to see what all the hoopla was about. I got a slice with mushrooms for $4.00. Yeah, it was huge, but I wasn't blown away. I probably need to try Benny Tudino's again...
(3)Kristin M.
Ummm this place is amazing and a serious throw back to old school Italian Hoboken. Like the reviews below, the slices are HUGE. One slice is a normal pizzeria's two slices. Thick crust, thin pizza, tons of cheese all for less than 3$!! I always bring out of towners here mainly to hear the shock in their voice when they put one slice on two paper plates. OMFG I will never eat this entire piece doesn't last long but no way can you eat two in one sitting unless you're ravenous! Service is friendly and they remember you if you've been there more than once. The atmosphere reminds me of Brooklyn pizzeria's with old Italian celebrities and Mr.Tudino himself on the wall. I think if Sinatra was alive he'd frequent this joint and hang out with the other Hoboken old timers outside. Fair warning: Once you come here, you'll have a hard time going anywhere else for pizza.
(5)Debbie W.
There's three categories of pizza, imo. Great pizza, the kind that you cant stop eating no matter how much you've had, cause its soo delicious, Really good pizza, the kind that every neighborhood used to have. Its great when you're in the mood, its nearby and convenient, and hits the spot, and there's barely worth eating pizza, which seems to be the majority of places these days. Benny's falls into the REALLY GOOD category. Wish i had a place like this in delivery range of my house. Thin crust, flavorful cheese and sauce, and just right.
(3)Thompson P.
Everyone knows that pizza places clutter the New York area, including Hoboken, the spare borough, like all our other infestations: rats, tourists, and Starbucks. How many Famous Ray's are there in Manhattan? I don't know, but I suspect it's four digits. One of the surest signs that New York is the greatest city on the planet is the density of our pizzeria population. But all pizzas are not created equal. There are the legends, of course. This or that shop with an Italian name for extra authenticity. There's that place in the West Village where the guy from the Daily Show yelled at Spider-Man in Spider-Man 2. And there's Benny Tudino's. Other reviews mention the size of the slice. If you're skimming this review, I need you to stop for a moment. Imagine a pizza, twenty inches in diameter. Now, cut it into quarters. That is not a slice of Benny's pizza. Add in a perfect combination of sauce, cheese, and soft but not doughy bread. There. That's the stuff. This is the sort of slice Achilles devoured before laying the smack down on Hector. A single slice of Benny's pizza could demolish the entire UFC. If you're reading this and weird bruises started forming all over your body, it's because you were preemptively rocked by a slice of Benny's. It goes without saying that the pizza is also well-priced. All this ranting would mean nothing if you actually had to pay for three slices when ordering one of Benny's. If this pizza were actually expensive, this would be a far different review, one telling you about my plans to commit arson. But the slices are very-well priced, so the place doesn't get burned down, and I stay out of prison! Yay! I suppose you could order from Benny's without ordering a massive slice. It's possible. They have "large" pizzas on the menu, and I'm sure some jerkhole is ordering them. But you and I go way back, and I know you're not a jerkhole.
(5)fred s.
BT has become our go to pizza. Hah, but for home delivery. Sure the portion size is legendary and among the crowd of Hoboken za joints, it stands out. I enjoyed the eggplant parm sub. Complements the pizza sauce flavor. A pie lasts for days (weeks frozen) and is actually better reheated crisp with whatever fresh in fridge thrown on.
(4)Demo K.
Pizza is great but most of the staff are sexist pigs. I swear these fool hit on every girl that walks in there, like any female with half of brain will belive. Yes.. pizza man take me. If I don't walk in with my gf, she comes out telling me how they were hitting on her. MANAGMENT ARE YOU LISTENING. GIRLS SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE ON THE MENU FORYOUR STAFF!
(4)Mehul P.
ALL YOU NEED IS ONE SLICE TO HIT THE SPOT, (but eat as many as your stomach allows). This is some amazing pizza! I don't give 5 star reviews often, but Benny's deserves it. I was born and raised in New Jersey and I have only been here maybe 5-10 times, (I know it's sad) but every time it has succeeded in filling my belly and making me feel great. There are always cars double parked outside rushing in for a quick slice or a quick pie. I can't wait to go to this place again. This is what pizza is suppose to taste, feel and look like!
(5)Adonis M.
I like Benny Tudino's. It's your typical local slice, except it's above-average in quality/taste and unmatched in size (I'm 250 pounds, and I can't finish two slices). I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you're in Hoboken and haven't tried it, definitely go get a slice.
(4)Mark H.
Freaking huge pizza. Tasted very good actually. This was ur NY pizza. Thin crust and large. Gotta fold it in half to eat it. But it was super duper oily. Had to use napkins to absorb the basins of grease that was on the pizza. Wait staff ain't the greatest either. Oh and the smoke that lingers in the shop can be quite bad.
(3)J P.
Meh. I've experienced better...Quality over quantity I always say! I don't care how big your slice is. It isnot that fresh...it sits there and waits to be reheated until someone orders. I am sure this is protocol at just about Every pizza place in the universe but I don't quite care for the method. If you've been open and in business for as long as you say you have, then you should know when to experience a rush and when things will slow down. make your pies accordingly please and serve fresher hotter food! Thank you kindly
(2)Tom P.
I agree with most of the reviews - VERY RUDE STAFF behind the counter - they make it seem like they're doing you a favor heating up a slice. The pizza is adequate and tasty - people get all crazy just b/c the slices are large - I rather have a slice a 1/3 of the size from Grimaldi's in Hoboken, pay more and have top quality ingredients - if I was writing this review after 2:00am it might have been given another star LOL ;)
(3)Jennifer n.
Wow, was told this was the place to get cheese pizza. Me being a pepperoni type woman I decided to get half and half. I tell you if you are in the area, the cheese was the bomb. How the cheese melt in my mouth to the flavor of the sauce...good gwad! Makes me wish I was back in NJ just so I can order a large cheese and gooble it all up. :) It is hands down the best tasting pizza I have had in a long time.
(4)Sakeenah M.
Yes, all the raves are true. I couldn't believe how gigantic the slices are! I wasn't even hungry and I was able to eat two slices. Thin crust, beautiful sauce. When you can't get to NY, this is just as good. I'd been really disappointed lately with pizza and I'm a tough judge, so I was very grateful when I found Benny's.
(5)Christina h.
the slice is big as hell, takes two plates just to hold it and it's cheap. when we went it was a sunday afternoon, me and my girl sat outside got some beers, and got our pizza. cheese slice well done. it's a nice spot, for the outside seating area too. it does get packed from what i can see. we ordered pizza, cheesey garlic bread which was banging and came with marinara. the wings we ordered were "eeeh" nothing special especially since they weren't tossed in the sauce. overall i'd def come back to bennys!
(4)Ramo N.
Would have a slice from here daily if i was able to....get it well done and enjoy. Best pizza in Hoboken hands down and i am sure top pizza in the tristate.
(5)Kent W.
I mean. I'll give points for the size (bigger than my face) and the price. But, the pizza is really just mediocre. I'm beginning to think everything in HOBO is just overrated (just my opinion. don't string me up.)
(3)Joanna L.
Pizza here is *HUGE* and really really tasty. I would have bumped this up to four stars had the buffalo wings not tasted like they were completely doused in vinegar. It's definitely worth coming for the pizza though.
(3)Ken O.
A friend told me my original review sucked... I have such sweet friends... so I caved to the peer pressure and am writing a review update. When I said 'good size slices' I should have said 'big-ass slices.' That was my 'mistake' in the original review that sent my friend off. He was right though. The slices are actually huge. Hot subs and pasta dishes are quite good too. After a night of boozing there's no better value or late-night munch in Hoboken.
(4)Dave C.
NYC pizza at it's finest. Greasy, cheesy, covered in toppings, and crust to die for. Oh yea, did I mention slices the size of your head? There is a method to ordering here, similar to the soup nazi episode in Seinfeld but just listen to the people in front of you and you'll be fine. loosen your pants and step up to the register, it's go time!
(5)Kim J.
What a way to start my trip back home to the motherland! Immediately upon returning to New Jersey, I requested the NY style of pizza that is oh-so-hard to find in Chicago. We headed over to Benny Tudino's for a quick lunch. Let me tell ya - the manner in which I devoured that 'za must have resembled how a long-time prisoner ravages a lady after years of confinement. Some of the best 'za I've had in ages. Don't miss the garlic bread with cheese - it's covered with really fresh pieces of garlic. YUM.
(5)James C.
My wife and I moved to JC Heights recently and have been searching for some authentic take out pizza. We tried Benny's and it was good. I was not disappointed. It is pricey. I found a better place nearby but I won't mention it in this review, if you are curious read my other reviews for the info
(3)Ben S.
This pizza borders on goddamn sumptuous, plus the pies have severe pituitary gland problems of the awesome kind. Good cookery + pizza roids = gigantic slices of success for eating.
(4)Mike D.
a single topping large slice fills me, always yummy here
(4)Anthony A.
The stories are true. Benny Tudino's offers the absolute largest slices of pizza one could ever hope for. What's more important is the quality of those slices. There is no sacrifice on either end, folks! The immense size coupled with the divine taste of this pizza places it in the winners circle in my book! And if that weren't good enough, Benny's carries an acceptable variety of beer to compliment those wonderful slices! What more could one ask for! Benny Tudinos! The best pizzeria in Hoboken!
(5)Eric V.
Where else can you find the biggest slice of pizza...Benny's that is. If you're ever in Hoboken, Benny Tudino's is a great pizza stop. It's certainly the type of pizza you'd have to fold in two to fit in your mouth. Definitely a favorite in the area.
(4)Christine T.
Huge slice of pizza!! and super delicious..although once you reach the crust its pretty cold/dry. that's the only downside to it. but overall a yummy meal :D
(4)Michael P.
For delivery, this is better than Grimaldi's. I haven't had Benny's in the pizzeria, so I can't compare flavor overall, but it's very good and isn't soggy when delivered. The sauce is a little sweeter than Grimaldi's which I like. Also, it's inexpensive, which is always a plus.

The pizza here is soooo good. The service isn't the friendliest and they don't take credit card which is so out-dated but oh well. They have HUGE slices for a totally decent price. They also have super yummy garlic bread. I hope to be back here again soon next time I'm in Hoboken.

Staff is friendly and the line moves fast. Most customers will be the post-11pm weekend crowd, though, considering you get a large slice for $3 from a place that definitely ascribes to quantity over quality. Thats not to say the pizza is crap, but if you're looking for a good dinner this is not really your place.

With all the rave reviews, my wife and i decided to try it this past weekend. Lets just say its a good thing we didnt just go to hoboken for the pizza or else we would have been very very disappointed. The pizza is just average. Nothing great about it except for the size (thats what she said). Im not a fan of soft pizza bread/crust and this is exactly what you get here. If you like that type of pizza, youll like it here, maybe. If you're in the area and need a quick bite to eat, its not a bad place to go. But if you're planning to have some great delish pizza, probably better to go to napoli's.

Yummmm. A slice is super cheap, SUPER HUGE, and super delicious! The crust is thin and there is tons of cheese. Mmm, I wish there was a place like this by me!

Loved the pizza for its size and price. My fav. toppings here are the pepporoni, sausage with onions. They give lots of toppings for little price. I usually can eat 3-4 slices at other places but get full with one slice here.

Man I miss this place. Use to go here when I lived in Jersey City. I think Benny's is better than many places in NYC. For those that think the front staff if rude...it's because they don't know you. Come by more often and they treat you quite well. I never had bad service here and the place is a Hoboken institution in my book.

Benny's is famous for their overly large slices of pizza and is a late night grub spot for beer munchies. I have found the pizza to be okay - not great by any means. You pay 3 bucks and get a humongous slice of pizza which is probably why ppl like it so much. I have tried it a few times, wasted I was a big fan, however the facade was over once I sobered up. Don't get me wrong its still good pizza but, I've had plenty that are better. In terms of late night pizza - Imposto's down on 1st and wash is better. You just get the most bang for you buck here.

better than most new york pizza spots AND you can buy beer to drink with it. i wish every pizza place had a license to sell beer, especially in the summer. my only gripe is that they didn't heat my pizza up on the 4th of july when i was in town. usually they don't have to heat up their giant slices because their business is so bustling that hot pizzas are always coming out of the oven. but not that time. now i'm shaking my fist in the air while removing a star from my rating and yelling "i'm angry about the room temperature thing!" oh, who am i kidding? i can't shake my fist in the air and type all this with one hand. i can tell you're going to try to make a joke right now, and that's okay. here's what i think about your joke: your mother!

I've been a fan of Benny Tudino's pizza for a long time. I've probably spent more there than at any pizza place in New Jersey. That being said, every single interaction with a Benny Tudino's employee (ever) has been a terrible one. They are rude guys. They have no concept of customer service. They don't listen, they yell, and they are simply careless. I am not going to order from Benny's ever again. Their pizza is big and it's really good (not the best in the world, but not bad for Hoboken and not a bad price either). Today I called and ended up talking to two employees, at the same time. They were contradicting each other and one ended up saying that there was a minimum of $15 (which I was cool with) but they other added a delivery fee of $3+ to make it over $15. I've never paid a delivery fee from them so I asked for clarification. Before I knew it they yelled and hung up. I called back and they told me that I was taking too long (the whole conversation was not more than a couple of minutes). I told him that I had given them enough of my business. I'm tired of getting yelled at. Their pizza is not that good and they get a 1 star instead of the 3 or 4 I would've given them if they knew how to hire and train people to take care of customers.

Best pizza and penne a la vodka in town. Don't even bother trying any other pizza as you will be dissatisfied!
(5)Will Y.
That's the biggest pizza I've ever had. I'm getting a pie next time to see how much of it I can finish.
(4)KB C.
Great when you walk in hammered- very filling, but not a lot of taste compared to other pizza joints. These guys are all about volume. Haven't been back in 2 years- might have to give it one more shot and update this review.
(2)Michael S.
Pizza slices as big as a baby... If only we didn't have Indian Buffet to eat right after... I would have loved to eat a whole slice by myself... Not only was the slice absurdly big, but it was delicious as well. Quite enjoyable sharing one slice with the whole family!
(4)David L.
Awesome pizza, just know that when you order a pie for delivery you get a standard sized large pie (not a dinosaur sized pie like I foolishly expected).
(5)Nicholas W.
Typical but good nyc style pizza. The slices are huge and a large cheese is only14 bucks. The wait staff was very friendly and out going. If go there again. Friendly tip *there is a $15.00 minimums or credit cards.
(4)Luis F.
For a cheap, huge slice of pizza you can't go wrong. Nothing fancy. It is what it is. I recommend just ordering by the slice...the pies seem to be a bit too doughy at times. Get the cheap slice after drinks!
(4)Nasal F.
As kids in Hoboken we hit this. Best pizza all day.
(4)Matthew L.
Let me preface this review by letting you know that I grew up in Staten Island which has great pizza on almost every block. So the first time I went to Benny's I decided to get their giant slice. For such a novelty it was great and if you need to budget yourself it def will fill you up for less. Not too long ago I ordered the $20 large one topping pizza, wings, and soda deal. It was delivered on time and hot. The wings were pretty good and the pizza was really quite good. They are definitely my go too when I need a whole pie!
(4)Kristen M.
The huge slices remind my of my favorite pizza spot in my hometown. Great to grab on your way home, also nice to sit outside the storefront.
(3)Derek B.
"Home of the Largest Slice" Three dollars gets you an epic slice of pizza here. It's doughy, greasy and delicious. Just don't come expecting thin-crust gourmet. This is old-school Italian Jersey, like a boardwalk slice from Seaside Heights, circa '97...

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, I waded out of my apartment on Wednesday Oct 31st and found to my delight that Benny's was one of the few places open. I was planning to buy two big pizzas, wade back into the waters, and help feed others trapped by flood waters. When I got to the front of the line, I was told the following: 1. Each slice was $3. 2. They don't have change. 3. They are selling only "boxes" of the pizza for $10 for 3 slices - because of no change. Benny was sitting there, eating and watching his residents shell out $10 for 3 slices of pizza. I fully respect and understand that they have 'huge' slices of pizza and that $3 would be a normal price - but in a crisis wouldn't you think Benny might think about helping the community rather than lining his own pockets? I wasn't getting pizza for myself, I was getting pizza for a building who hadn't had hot water, electricity for over 3 days. I went back to my apartment spending $20 on six slices and then sliced up their pizza into smaller slivers - and handed them out to hungry folks who didn't have power, heat or hot water for the last 48 hours. Benny, you lost a customer for life and should be ashamed of yourself for price gouging during the disaster. P.S. Just want to add certainly not as despicable as Molfetta's Pizza in Hoboken was during the storm, but he could have done a better job here.

I've been here several times and it's always the same average pizza. As a long time Hoboken resident I don't understand why this place is always crowded considering the many better pizza choices in town.
(3)Ericka S.
Went to Benny Tudino's after a night out and what a surprise! What a HUGE slice of pizza! Very reasonably priced at $3 - I love a bargain! The pizza tasted delicious - next time I would ask for my crust to be a little crunchier, but the dough was really good. Quick and friendly service. I will definitely be back.
(4)Dimi B.
Excellent cheese pizza with slices bigger than your head. Benny is a nice guy, staff is hit or miss. Don't ask for "extra crispy" or "well done". Let them warm it up the way it's meant to be...trust me.
(4)Anthony J.
It's not exactly the greatest pizza in the world, but this place has come through clutch for me on many hungry nights. The slices are big, but the topping selection is limited, and usually they just put the toppings on top of a plain slice and just heat it up. Stick with the plain. Bottom line: know what to expect. Their claim to fame is having the "largest" slice, not the "best".
(3)Bruce E.
Wow this is what a pie in heaven would be like! This place is like home so friendly and nice guys workin here.
(5)Zachary Z.
My family loves this place. It is the best pizza ever. I grew up in NY and I know pizza.
(5)Eric G.
Not my first choice for pizza in Hoboken, but it's still good. The slices are gigantic. If you're a fan of spinach pizza though, I wouldn't really recommend it here. They kinda just placed some spinach on top after the pizza was already done. I normally like when my toppings are mixed in a bit with the cheese and sauce (and warm like the rest of the pizza).
(4)Vittoria H.
I was visiting NJ/NY and my cousin brought me here. What I can say is two large pies were delivered to us in 4 large boxes because the slices are really that big. :) I believe the total was around 40-50 bucks... the pizza was delicious! Although the slices are thin (compared to what I'm used to on the west coast), something about the crust blew me away... it was chewy but not too thick- just right! I easily ate 2-3 LARGE slices. I'm looking forward to more Benny Tudino's when I visit the east coast again.
(4)Alexander X.
Always a favorite, whether late at night or early noon. Can't go wrong here
(5)Andrew L.
I don't go out for pizza much but being summer, if it's too hot to bbq outside and not in the mood to cook inside, I always stop at Benny Tudinos' for a slice. During football I order their wings for delivery to Moran's.. Overall a great place.
(4)Jay R.
Nothing fancy here but the "gimmick" is the humongous slices of pizza that fits in the hand of Andre the Giant, so one slice should do the trick for you. 2 for you fat bastards. A slice and a can of soda will do the trick after a long night getting wasted at any of the thousand bars located in Hoboken.
(3)Robin H.
The slices were huge & wonderful and the crab ravioli was FABULOUS!
(5)Meghan M.
Looking for a slice of pizza that could single-handedly feed a small nation? Well, you've found your place. Benny Tudino's is open late and serves massive slices of pizza. It's good but nothing crazy amazing....salty, greasy, and doughy...good drunk food. So, what's the bottom line? Don't go out of your way unless you're a size queen, in which case Benny Tudino's is your jam.
(3)Rachel D.
Old school Italian, not fancy, doesn't pretend to be anything fancy or alternative...you get what you see. Awesome vibe if that's what you're in the mood for. And the pizza is actually hard to beat. Anytime I have a craving for pizza in the area, this is the first place that comes to mind and it never disappoints. The line winds out the door during big Hoboken events (ie: St Patrick's Madness) but any other time, it's just a quick stop in and there's always a place to sit! Never a bad slice.
(3)Aldo V.
Pizza the size of your head! Cheep and good and a lot of it! stop by, get a slice (or 2) and hit the road! must stop by and check it out - if only for the pure magnitude of the slice. Yes they are bit - and yes they are GOOD!!!!!
(4)Mitchell M.
This review may come off as a pretty weak, but really there isn't much to say about this place. They offer up monster slices at low prices. Great for the late night crowd. Great for the guy who wants to feed a family of four on one slice of pizza. The pizza is pretty good. Not Hoboken's best, but it hangs in there. They offer a lot of other Italian dishes, but I've only sampled the Antipasto which is good. If you live in the neighborhood, this is a solid choice. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but it's a good choice if you are nearby.
