Bennys Pizza Joint — Restaurant in Monroe

We’ve driven through Monroe, Oregon several times and have always passed by Bennys Pizza Joint because we weren’t hungry. Yesterday we said, we’re hungry so let’s try Bennys. I’m so glad we did! We pulled into the spacious parking lot, which was also handicapped accessible. There were covered tables and chairs outside, but since we were ordering to go, we didn’t sit outside. Plenty of seating outside however. We walked up to the door and as soon as we entered, we could smell so many fresh items, as well as the pizzas cooking. Inside was beautiful with large seating areas and is also handicapped accessible(huge plus for me). There’s a pretty good sized, covered salad bar. I could see 2 choices for your main lettuce, spinach was in a tin under the cover, olives, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, Roma tomatoes, peppers, pickles, carrots(if I remember correctly), cottage cheese, fruit, bacon bits, sunflower seeds, walnuts, then your dressings. We made our salads while we waited for our pizza and breadsticks. We both received pretty large to go containers for our salads(in photos). By the time I was done filling my box, I could barely close it. When we got up to the counter we I first told the lady that we’re in the locked running car with the ac on with dogs in it(we could see my car and the pups from inside through the huge windows), if anyone asks. She then asked us if we called in an order, we said no, she asked if we knew what we wanted, we said no we’ve never been here before. She said, oh okay, welcome in and handed us 2 menus. There were so many different choices for pizzas. We did a 1/2 & 1/2, pepperoni and the other half Spinach, feta, artichoke hearts(extra artichoke hearts), olives and cheese(asked for thick or pan crust). We also ordered the cheesy breadsticks and since they didn’t have to go cups for drinks, we bought a bottle of Pepsi and a bottle of Dr. Pepper and the 2 salad bars. It took the lady a little bit to enter in our order and she apologized and said it was her 2nd day. I told her she didn’t have to apologize and told her I never even would’ve known and that she’s doing a great job(which she was). A lady(maybe the owner/manager)? Was helping her when she needed it and we were both greeted with a small town friendly smile(which was very nice as we’d never been there before)! There was a little arcade with a few games in it in a little room off to the left of the counter. The ladies restroom was very clean and supplied, with the exception of the toilet seat covers. When we were sitting watching my car and waiting for our order, I noticed they serve beer, wine and there’s a sign that says, now serving cocktails. When our order was complete, the lady that took our order, she brought it to our table all boxed up and smelling fantastic. We said our goodbyes and headed out. I say ladies, because they had no name tags on, nor gave us their names. When we arrived at our destination, we opened everything up, we were pleased with everything, with one minor exception. We asked for thick or pan crust and the crust was very thin. We didn’t mind because the pizza was so good. The sauce wasn’t overbearing, but was just the right amount and it complimented the other ingredients well. The pepperoni slices were huge, the artichoke hearts(and the extra) were really big as well and they didn’t skimp on the extra. 👍🏻 All in all everything was great! Will definitely go back the next time we’re...

Great pizza! I lived most of my adult life in the Philadelphia, PA area. Also living there is a large Italian population, many owning pizza shops. I've eaten a lot of good pizza over 47 years, made by the Italians themselves. So, when I say "great pizza", I kinda think I may be correct. But that's my opinion. Maybe you should try Bennys pizza. They sell it by the slice...try a slice, then you'll probably buy a whole pizza. If you wish, order to go. Their restaurant is comfortable and has a bar, but is set up to also accommodate family dinning. A great salad bar is...

We took my mom here for an early Mother’s Day and spent over $80. The food and drinks were fine, but this is not a family friendly place and I will definitely not be coming back! We were finishing up, my 2 year old was laughing and playing with my mom for about 2 minutes and some guy who worked there came over and said “I’m going to have to ask you guys to keep it down back here”. Are you serious?!?? I could understand if it was a bunch of drunk people being rowdy or if we had been loud and obnoxious or anything, but it was a kid laughing - and it was only for a...
