While passing through Venice on our way home we played β€œGoogle Roulette” for a dinner spot and it turned up Benny Bada Bings Pizza. Great little family place. No shortage of New York themed photos and decorations in this place.Pros: Our server was friendly and did a great job. Pizza was really good, especially if you like New York style pie.Cons: They only had canned mushrooms as a topping 🀒. No French fries, which we usually like as a appetizer. Pizza was a little watery on top, perhaps due to the pineapple.All in all, it was clear that they take great pride in making their food as several people check on us once we were served. I’d your around, it’s a safe spot to grab a slice & garlic knot.

Love this pizza. My favorite so far. Im a New Jersey transplant so the bar is set high for me, and Benny Badad Bings takes the pie! (cake) Get the garlic knots. Consistent and delicious.

This is really great pizza! I’m not sure what aspect of it I like the most… The crust, cheese, and any topping has been on the money. There’s an added plus, a picture wall highlighting former US Marine Commandant James Amos! Ooh-rah and Semper Fi!!!!

Got a sausage onion cheese pie here today for dinner and it is superb. Above and beyond what I expected. My guy went in to get it and he described the atmosphere as walking into an Italian family home. We will definitely be eating more pizza.

Over an hour for delivery, garlic knot in butter soup (i dont like butter soupy bread), very few topping on pizza, very hard crust for a pizza that is still warm. Not a fan, not recommend.

Hey Happy Whistling Guy Behind the Counter, Im the customer who dumped all her car change in the tip jar today & promised you a review. Here it is: Your pies are the best in Venice. Actually, theyre the best Ive had since Ive been back in the USA. In the 1970s, for 3 awesome years, I lived in a small town in Puglia, near Brindisi, on the Adriatic coast. I travelled and ate my way all through Southern Italy. I didnt know what good pizza was until I lived in Italy, and I loved it all. It was simple, delicious, and not overpriced, just like your pies. Your sauce is the absolute best Ive had in 40+ years, your cheese actually tastes like cheese and you dont overload it. And you have artichokes! And basil growing out front! Bada Bings is homey, cozy, one of a kind, and very kid friendly (just like Italy). And the staff is amazing! Great food, great peopleπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

This place is outstanding. There isnt much seating which is why I didnt rate 5 stars however if this was based on food alone it would definitely be 5 stars. I believe this is authentic Italian. The prices are right and the food tastes great. We had garlic knots and a medium pizza (beware this is a huge medium). The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very homey. I definitely recommend this place.

Excellent! My husband and I ate there last night for the first time and I can guarantee you it won’t be our last time- we are already talking about bringing our families to eat here. The food, atmosphere, service- everything was amazing! We had our three small children with us, they put on a show for our kids to watch on their tv which was so nice!! It’s a family run business and that alone made us love this place even more. My husband is very picky when it comes to garlic knots and he said Benny’s Bada Bing has the best Garlic Knots he has ever had. Trust me, you will not regret eating here.

Ordered a 18 pizza and 12 garlic knots with sauce. The pizza arrived faster than expected and was very good. Unfortunately, the garlic knots were left off of the order. The delivery person offered to go back to get them, and I agreed. Over an hour later he returned, but with only half the order. I decided against calling to complain because I didnt want to wait another hour for the additional 6 garlic knots. I guess overall, the food was good. The service, not so much.

Review β„–38

Got the garlic knots, white pizza, and the sheet pizza. Garlic knots had a lot of flavor. The white pizza was just below average. The sheet pizza was horrific. We were told an hour for delivery at the 1:10 mark we called and were told they were just leaving. 15 minutes later the food arrived. Cold, but it arrived. We had to throw the sheet pizza out. The crust was hard and to eat it we had to dip it into the garlic knots drippings. I could have spent $46.00 a better way.

My family visited Benny Bada Bings while on vacation in Venice. It is a smaller NY Italian pizza place that is off the island and reasonably priced. We were treated like family by the entire staff, who made sure our visit was great!The food was terrific! We ordered an appetizer of the garlic knots, which were absolutely delicious. The pizza was a thin New York style crust, which tasted great.Everything from the appetizer, to the pizza, to the cannoli for dessert was enjoyed by everyone in the family!

Bada Bing pizza serves authentic New York pizza! We enjoyed our lunch so much we came back for dinner! Pizza isn’t the only thing on the menu: calzones, eggplant parmigiana and more; let’s not forget the delicious garlic knots! The service is also great, friendly smiles and our food came fast! We look forward to eating at Bada Bings next time we are in the area!

Hello my peoples, lol.....hope and pray all is well with you. This place reminds me of back home....NYC, where I was born. Living in Brooklyn, NY, you tend to eat a lot because all foods are out there πŸ˜€πŸ˜‹....this place is family owned and they too are from NY so, the flavor is there. If you love NY food, then youll love this place., pure Italian flavor. Ive been looking for a pizzeria for a long time with a style of NY and finally I found it....Bada Bing. Next time youre in the mood for Italian, try this place, food is great, host is an awesome guy.....you will love it.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Best pizza around hands down! There garlic knots are out of this world!! Filled my family of three up enough with a large pizza and small garlic knots. We’ll have left overs for dinner and I call that a win win!!! The staff is more then accommodating! My three year old was having a hard time being able to sit up high enough to see and eat and the cook came over and stacked a chair up for him then as we were leaving the very pleasant waitress gave my son a hand full of lolli pops. I more then recommend Benny Banda Bings Pizza to anyone!!

Review β„–72

In the hand tossed pizza joints Ive tried around Venice and to be fair it has not been all of them, ( I dont include the chain pizza restaurants either) I always return to Bada Bing Pizza and their delicious garlic knots, their addicting. They only fall short in their phone-in orders, you can dial 5 times in a short time and the phone is ALWAYS busy.. everytime, or no answer at all..πŸ™. But when I DO get through I am so thrilled!! As crazy busy as they are, there are the family members who work to keep the fun in the chaos, while you wait.. call me old fashioned but I still love a greasy, cheesy flavorful slice of pizza!! Umm umm good! I always recommend this place to new residents or visitors.

My husband and I went to Bada Bings last night for the first time with our friends and had a delicious meal. Tried their pizza, clams with linguine and red sauce, shrimp scampi, ravioli and the Italian sub. The shrimp scampi was one of the best Ive had. Michael our server was fantastic and Benny makes you feel like family. Will definitely go back. Bonus-they also deliver.

Review β„–81

I believe that this place has potential but not today. Employee smoking in front. I walked inside to order pizza, lady sitting on her phone with no attention to customer. I proceed to ask for a slice of pizza. Lady points at pre-made Cheese pizza and says I have cheese pizza right there, add your toppings (cost is extra) and I will heat it up. I was willing to wait for fresh pizza, but all you get is a warm up maybe from yesterday or whenever. Place didnt look busy at lunch time so who knows when that pizza was done. Lady proceeded to grab pizza with her fingers (no gloves). OK I dont mind people touch my food with bare hands, but she didnt even wash them. Who knows what she did with hands prior to touching food. My slice of cheese pizza tasted like old cheese on thin soggy lukewarm bread. Sauce is very bland. This place lacks good ownership/management.

Review β„–82

This place is AMAZING! I’ve only had the chicken Parmesan, both times I went, but I feel confident in saying anything on the menu is excellent. Definitely must get the garlic knots as well! This is a family owned and operated business. Everyone there is so nice, and treats you just like you’re family. Looking forward to trying the pizza soon. I cannot recommend this place enough. You won’t leave hungry or disappointed!

Oh what a night! Benny catered our wedding, and the food was out of the park. Our family was from New Jersey/New York, and even they were blown away by the pizza! We had the most fun, and our server was fantastic. He even helped clean up as the night was going on. Benny and his family made delicious food, show up early, set up everything the right way, and are super friendly.P.S. My cousin is a police officer and when he saw who was catering he ran up and said hi to Benny, who apparently had treated my cousin and his fellow officers really well every time they came in for lunch.

Review β„–85

The pizza was pretty good. Kind of soggy for a new York style pie but it was still good. My only dislike was the garlic wings. The wings where soft and left much to be desired. Nothing like soggy chicken skin sliding down your throat covered in a thick coat of butter and sprinkled with some minced garlic.

Review β„–86

The food was good, but $70.00 worth. I still would of order, but I feel deceived . Their menu pricing on the web did not match my bill. Its principle for me, my word is gold to me and I try to keep it as much as I can. That important to me and my wife. SO JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING FROM BADA BINGS PIZZA.

Review β„–87

We made our first trip to Bada Bing yesterday, and we will definitely be frequent flyers there from now on! First, the sodas were good-- no chlorine taste at all like weve found at many other restaurants (an immediate turn-off). My husband and I split a stromboli; it was superb! Fresh veggies, tasty sausage and pepperoni, and perfectly salty mozzarella, wrapped in a wonderfully crust that was baked to perfection- crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was served with marinara sauce that superbly completed the mouthwatering dish. We both ate huge portions and still had a decent sized piece to take home. Our 11-year-old grandson is a self-described pizza connoisseur, and ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza. They were huge, and he gave his hearty stamp of approval and ate every bite. The owners and staff were exceptionally friendly, and we enjoyed a fun conversation with them once our meal was done. The bill was so reasonable, we were stunned! We are excited to try other dishes on future visits! Bada Bings is- by far- our new favorite restaurant!!!

Nice little local pizza place. Holds about 45 patrons, and had a large party of 25 come in all at once, so it was noisy and service got a little spotty, but understandable under the circumstances. Family-run, plus a booming take-out business as well. Pizza was very good, hot and crisp. Full Italian menu, beer on draft and various wines. Would definitely stop there again if we were in the neighborhood.

Review β„–92

We love this little family owned and operated restaurant! Weve never had a bad meal- and we always have friendly and attentive service! Tonight was no exception- this place has maybe 10 tables and the family is actually serving you. Our server was Michael and he was the owners grandson. He couldnt have been more sweet and friendly and attentive. The owner Benny was actually cooking and told me the chicken francese was a great choice- he did not disappoint! We also asked for broccoli in lieu of pasta- and seriously- it was cooked and seasoned so perfectly. The other owner (the wife) told us how it was made. The garlic knots are to die for, theyve also been voted Best pizza in Venice, FL - which is awesome for Florida pizza! Coming from Chicago- we are picky about pizza and Italian food in general ! The meatballs are excellent and the sauce is perfect- not too salty- not too over seasoned. You can just tell this place is run with a love of food and we love that its truly a family business and we appreciate this intimate little place! We look forward to coming here from Chicago- and we recommend it to all that we talk to when we are here.

Review β„–93

Great place. First time I ordered from here was about 2-3 years ago and it was not a great experience. But we gave them a second chance and they have surpassed the one bad night. Pizza is Jersey/NY style which we love. Stafff is also amazing. They do get crazy busy, give them a break about that. Understand they are busy because of the good food. If it’s a weekend I come in and order, during the week I’ll get delivery or pickup and either or have been great. Worth the wait for good food and plus the price is great.

Craving real NY pizza while in Venice, I happened to catch the Bada Bing sign while driving on 41. Took a chance on just the name, and happy I did. Just ordered slices to go that had just come out of the oven. Yep, real pizza Im used to and that I was hunting. Sorry i didnt get a chance to try more than just a slice, but anyone from the NYC area will be plenty satisfied with the pizza. Owners were transplants, nice, and took the time to chat.

Outstanding!I ordered two New York style pizzas to go last night and had to bring in my baby grandson because of my hectic day (closed on a new house). Because my hands were unavailable for the pizza, these sweet people offered to take my pizza to my car.And when I got home, the main attraction, the pizza! My husband and I being from New Jersey, were always in search of that delicious pizza. Bennys Bada Bings has it all. Nice people. Customer service. Flavor, toppings, cheese and crust, youve sold us as a customer and well be back for sure.
