Benny's Pizza Katy — Restaurant in Katy

I could extol the virtues of single slice pizza on its own, but this is a review. To start with, this pizza tastes like it's made by someone who really likes pizza. The atmosphere also sounds like that because every time I go someone is talking shop about pizza. You can tell they're proud of their product.

The options are interesting to say the least. There's your standard Hawaiian, meatlovers, Supreme(see: the walls), but also local flavors like brisket and boudin. The crusty is something close to new York? I'm not sure yet. It's not as greasy and has a strong crunch under the fluffy dough. Holds up well as leftovers.

This is a great grab and go place and has a lot more fun menu items than I'm likely to try on my lunch break. It's a hole in the wall in a gas station, so while you can dine in, don't expect lots of parking.

Did I mention the lunch special? For under $10 you get a specialty slice and a canned soda. The slices are large so its a solid, filling lunch.

From the moment I entered the store, the gentleman in the front made sure I felt like part of the family.

We ordered a couple of pizzas, and they were about average. Good pizza, but I think the sauce was where the flavor may have been lacking. I'd definitely order again, and to know they serve beef pepperoni will keep me coming back. My hope is that they don't stop trying to improve their product and are around for a long time. We need more restaurants with operators who care like the Manager at Benny's.

3 stars for the location mainly due to external reasons. Limited parking, gas station next door, and...

I had Benny's Shrimp Pizza 🍕 -- I have attempted to find comparable 🍤 and oddly enough - they're not out there! Absof**lutely fantastic. Side of Pizza sauce was a surprise, of the good kind. The owner loves what he does and the people that come to enjoy what he does. So sweet (and above all apologetic) that I was not able to order as a walk-in what I was wanting. He offered alternatives (which I did not take him up on, you know how when you're craving one thing, substitutes never land the same way) - and he was disheartened when I opted to try again another day. His reaction (coupled with the reviews I had already read on their pizza) made it so that I ended up placing an order a couple of days later. And well, I was inclined to write a review as I place...
