What DrPfeiffer likes about Benchmark Pizzeria:
We thoroughly enjoyed the carrot salad !! fabulous ingredients) and pizzas — everything fresh well prepared. Service was attentive and since we came midday on a week day, we had plenty of seating to choose from. Looking forward to returning some day. View all feedback. What DoubleO doesn't like about Benchmark Pizzeria:
This restaurant is fantastic and very accommodating for children! I do think the prices for pizza and pasta are on the higher side, but the quality and service make up for it. The staff always greets you with a warm smile. View all feedback.

Really liked the benchmark pizza! Dow was nicely salty and cheese was rich enough. Definitely I will visit again.
