Benny's newest Richmond outpost is open in Scott's Addition.
Why it matters: There's only one Virginia-based pizza chain that serves giant pizza slices and pies, and Richmond now has two locations.
- Benny's is also one of the few that stays open until 3am on weekends.
State of play: Benny's Pizza Scott's Addition opened last month at the corners of Marshall and Altamont.
- Likes the Benny Ventano's that opened in the Fan in 2019, and the original Benny Marzano's location in Blacksburg founded in 2011, th newest Benny's serves massive, 28-inch pies — available whole or by the giant slice.
- For comparison, a typical large pizza is 16 inches.
- So Benny's are nearly twice the size, running $38 for a whole cheese pie, $46 with one topping, and $5-$6 for a slice (specialty pies are slightly more).
The intrigue: Unlike most of its counterparts, the Scott's Addition Benny's appears to be one of a just a few among the chain's roughly 40 locations across eight states that doesn't have an Italian-inspired persona, like "Ventano" or "Marzano"
- The owners told BizSense they dropped it for Scott's to ensure it wasn't confused with the Fan location.
If you go: Benny's Pizza Scott's Addition is open Sunday-Wednesday, 11am-midnight; Thursday, 11-2am; and Friday and Saturday, 11-3am.
