Beneventi’s Pizza

Service was great and the pizza was ok. Would have been better if there was a little salt added to any of it, kind of tasteless but we where hungry and the crust was good so it worked out. The cleanliness of the place need serious work though. Flies where a disruption while we ate. Spent part of the time swatting at them. One of the employees walked over to the salad bar, grabbed a spoon and removed something quietly from a dressing bowl spooned into the napkin and walked around the corner. Thought it was odd, my first thought was he removed a fly? Just a guess. Probably wont be back unless it’s the only thing open and we are starving… Sorry guys, please work on the fly situation and clean it up some. then we may be back. Try for yourselves though. (the high marks blow me away as well. maybe they think they are reviewing another place?)

Great pizza and fast delivery! Big, too!

Every time I go here the food blows me away. As a lactose intolerant person they go out of their way to adjust and make me whatever I want with Feta cheese (made from goats milk) instead of regular cheese. The salad bar is wonderful and fresh. Their soups are great and so is their lunch buffet. Their staff is always helpful and polite and make sure that everyone has what they need and want. If your driving through the gorge and you want some wonderful food — stop in here. They have a great play area for kids so that they can have fun while mom and dad are watching the game on one of the multiple televisions they have in there.

These folks do a great job! The pizza is excellent, the service is good and the other menu items are delicious! Try the wings!

Holy tasty French fries Batman! Seriously, the fries are amazing. Boyfriend and I split a supreme sandwich. It was tasty… but those French fries. My mouth is watering thinking of them! I noticed they offer several sizes of pizzas. Even a little «personal pan» size. You don’t see that in many pizza places anymore. They also offer take and bake pizza. This my friends, is pretty sweet! (I hear their pizza is pretty delicious).
I didn’t try to salad bar, but it looked clean and pretty average. I will say that the floor could use come vacuuming/​sweeping. We were in here on a slow, cold Sunday evening and floor seemed a little messy for how slow they were. Noticed some old French fries (why would anyone drop their fried and let them go to waste like this? I almost don’t blame the staff, I blame the customer.) and napkins laying around under tables. It’s not a deal breaker, but certainly something that stuck in my mind.
Also fair to note; this pizza place is seriously lacking on the video games. I mean, can we get some Mrs. Pac-​Man in here please?

Best pizza in the Gorge. Parking can be a challenge but the pie is well worth it. Not a bad salad bar and staff has always been friendly.

Their Going Green pizza is really tasty and just full of veggies including broccoli. Delivery is usually fast, so we love ordering from here when we feel too lazy to cook but hope for something that feels at least slightly healthy. A small is more than plenty for two people. Have never eaten inside, but the hostess is always quite friendly whenever we call in or pick-​up. The interior seems typical of an older place around here… could use some upgrades but that doesn’t matter. Things are kept clean and the place is cozy. A well run local business.

The place was filthy. Flies buzzing around the soda fountain and a ton of fries on the ground by our table. The waitress didn’t come to take our order and copped and attitude when I had to order at the counter. I am absolutely amazed that this place has 4 stars. Try at your own risk.
But wait there’s more! The disgruntled waitress just informed me that they are out of sausage… On a Thursday at 7:40, after I already paid. No apology, just a statement «we can replace it with chicken» (insert waitress grimace here). Again, try at your own risk. Cheers!
And now my order is wrong… Good job guys. I can hear you reading my review in the back instead of fixing yourselves.

What a great find on the beautiful Hwy 14 drive. Terrific pizza buffet (see veggie pizza photo attached.) They will make a pizza for you upon request. Also a great little salad bar (see pic). All that plus a drink for $ 10. The service was stellar — friendly and helpful.
For the location and price — they get 5 stars.

Not a huge fan of their pizza, but I absolutely love the salad bar.

The pizza is not worth the price or the wait. The crust is way to thin and it didn’t have a lot of flavor. Very bland. You can get a take-​n-​bake pizza that will arrive on your plate faster and taste better. Plus you won’t break your wallet just to eat.

Picked up pizza from here on our first night staying in Hood River. The pizza was very solid. Good sauce and cheese. The crust was just the right thickness. Not too thin or too thick. What really made the $ 2 toll back and forth across the bridge worth it though was the wings — deep fried but really juicy and delicious.
All in all, a great choice for delivery or take out pizza if you are staying in the area.

It’s funny how you find these little out-​of-​the-​way places– We had our heart set on a different pizza place that we like to go to when we head out to the gorge for wine tasting.
However– our original place was closed and so we found this place.
You know it’s a nice little place. Simple — not a huge menu — a small salad bar — with two cans of soup.
Their chicken wings were amazing from what I understand. I ordered deep-​fried shrimp and you can’t go wrong with that it was done in Panko breading and I loved it.
Their onion rings are hand dipped and deep-​fried and were yummy!
Not overly expensive — we didn’t try their pizza this time we were in a hurry.
We’d go back again for sure.

After a day on the river you’re ready to eat cardboard, so pizza is a BIG step up from that, particularly Beneventi’s. A family-​oriented restaurant they have standard tables and booths, a very nice salad bar, and good pizza and sandwiches. Full Disclosure: I’m an east coast pizza snob, but I thought their pizza was still very good. I was honestly really impressed with the salad bar (which could have been because I hadn’t seen a vegetable in like 5 days…) and thought the portions were generous. They did forget one person’s order and had a odd bit of attitude when we asked a server about it, but otherwise it was quite nice. I’d go again if I were in a pizza mood.

We had the Italian Beef and Italian Sausage sandwiches. Very moist and tasty and the bread was fantastic. My grandkids had the pizza, which I sampled, and we all agreed it was very good.

This is a place where I can enjoy my meal while the twins play. They have an awesome play area, some of the arcade machines are out of order this year, but the twins still don’t know how to use them anyways, so it doesn’t matter. The food is good, nothing spectacular, but great for Bingen, I will come here over Solstice in a heartbeat. I had a spinach calzone and my husband had the mexican pizza. The small calzone was huge. The twins had spaghetti with marinara. We also did the salad bar, which is pretty good. Overall, is a great restaurant to go with kids.

Best pizza in the gorge hands down! Love their grinders too! Amazing pasta. There is nothing I have eaten here I did not like!

Hands down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! A truly family owned pizzeria with great service and phenomenal pizza. We had the 14″ Yo Paulie, with house-​made sausage, feta, sun-​dried tomatoes and fresh basil. If you find yourself within 50 miles of Beneventi’s, do yourself a favor and make the trip!

The customer service here was amazing! I ate here with my family Sunday night and after our meal they fixed us a special dessert for no other reason except they knew we wanted dessert and all they had was ice cream. The dessert was a calzone stuffed with apples, seasoned with cinnamon and topped with ice cream. It was so good, and thoughtful. The pizza, salad and sandwich were good too. If I ever find my way back to Bingen, WA, I will eat there again.

A great find in the Gorge. It’s one of those Italian-​American family owned kind of places you see all over the east coast, the kind of place that’s a dime-​a-​dozen in the ‘burbs of New Jersey, Philly, etc. but rare here in the NW [Abbodanza in Seattle is a lot like this; see my review on it].
It’s not upscale or hipster; you’re getting doughy cheese-​and-​tomato heavy calzone and pizza – tasty and filling, very ‘southern’ Italian family-​style. This place fills a much-​needed void in the Gorge [and reminds me a lot of my own family’s cooking, the older members are all 2^nd and 3^rd generation Italian-​Americans].
