I had the pleasure of eating at Benvenuti pizza today. This is a nice little family-owned restaurant that opened up about 6 months ago in a heavily Pizza dominated town. I had some family visiting us for the holidays and decided to order a couple options. We ordered the Chicken Parm, Caesar Salad, Mushroom Calzone, and a few slices of pizza.
The food was very delicious and very fresh, it had that authentic Italian feel and taste. The pictures are not exaggerated, the portions are very big!The owner’s father was explaining how they use only the freshest ingredients, as well as how the tomatoe sauce, sausage, and dough are all made inhouse.
If you are looking for a good Italian spot for dining in or take out, I would recommend Benvenuti Pizza co.

Definitely my new favorite pizza in Cheshire! The cross between New York style and Neapolitan works well, with a crisp, airy crust that we enjoyed. Creative choices on the menu including a banana dessert pizza with mozzarella that doesn’t sound like it would work, but it does and it’s delicious! Everything is noticeably fresh, and I would come back even just for the Italiano sandwich. The family that owns this is so sweet, and we wish them the best of luck with their new business!

This is more Napoleon style with less cooked sauce and bigger chunks of tomatoes.
Americans like both but i prefer non Napoleon style American with cooked sauce puree style.
That said it was good and will be liked by those that like more traditional Italy style foods.

We ordered the gluten-free margherita pizza and it was so good we couldn’t make it out of the parking lot before we ate it all and we came back for dinner for another one. The staff was incredibly sweet, accommodating and welcoming. We’ve been traveling coast to coast and haven’t felt much belonging yet, but this place turned that around. One of those places that instantly makes you feel like family and by far the best pizza we have ever eaten. Don’t miss this gem.

We were looking for an early lunch and Benveuti was one of the only places open in town on a Sunday. We got super friendly service from who we learned was the owner’s father. He explained some parts of the menu for us, like how they’re making the bread fresh for each sandwich from the same dough as they use on the pizza. We got two cheese slices right away while we waited and the sauce had bright and fresh tomato flavor on a light crispy crust. My chicken parm sandwich was huge and tasty. My husband really liked the Italian sandwich with 3 means and big chunks of mozzarella and fresh tasting arugula. We will definitely be back for the friendly service and high quality, family made food.

Absolutely amazing pizzeria, best I’ve had in the area. Girlfriend and I stopped there for lunch after my son had recommended it, and it was everything he said it would be! Arugula was fresh and plentiful and prosciutto imported from Italy. Family run, father and son on site. Many other choices as well like salads, pastas and sandwiches. Fox and Park soda as well as Coke products. I am looking forward to return.

Benvenuti’s was a great find. The pizza was delicious — crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. The service was friendly and attentive, and the Nutella pizza for dessert was absolutely amazing. We’ll definitely be coming back.
