Bens Pizza

The worst pizza I’ve ever had. Definitely all frozen but even worse somehow. I always wondered what was going on in there and now I know. Seafood seasoning on the pie? Really chewy mushrooms. Bud lt was good tho

I have been eating eating Bens pizza for 40 + years. It’s a must when I return to the area. The pizza, tamales & muffaletta are alway excellent!!! Wouldn’t dream of going to the Chalmette area and not stop in!!! Thanks for always doing it up right!!!

This is a no frills kind of place. The décor is non-​existent other than the picture of Roger Goodell with the words «Do Not Serve this Man» on the wall. There are a few poker machines, a few more cheap tables and chairs and that’s about it.
With that being said, all of the food is decent to solid except for the pizza. I know that’s odd as the name of the place is Ben’s PIZZA! Now granted I only had the pizza once but it tasted more Digiorno like than hand tossed in a restaurant like. The rest of the food though I like. They have a decent list of po-​boys, I usually get the meatball or fried ham. They always bake the meatball po boy after so that the cheese melts and the bread gets browned around the edges. Perfect! They have the usual shrimp, roast beef and erster poyboys as well. (Yes I typed ‘erster’, they don’t say Oyster in Da Parish). They also have a very good Muffaletta. The olive salad is great! The fries and onion rings are blah as they are frozen but they don’t charge you a lot for them either.
Forgot to mention they also have tamales and a Wop salad. You won’t find that name in many places in this politically correct world then again Da Parish doesn’t follow those sort of rules. The people are super friendly and fast at both Ben’s locations. I prefer the one in Arabi so I can take my sandwich across the street to The Battlefield and eat it in peace.
