Master Critic Review

Benny's Pizza 7.5
Lower West Side
A classic Pilsen slice counter where the appeal is late-night availability and budget pricing more than artisanal technique. The smartest order is a simple slice set—cheese plus one topping—so you get the best chance at a clean, hot reheat and proper melt.
