Benchmark Pizzeria - Kensington

We told our waiter we planned to share everything we ordered. Despite this, no serving implements appeared with any of our dishes. The server vanished immediately after plunking each dish on the table and never glanced our way again, forcing us to get up from our table and go on a search.

I love Benchmark pizza. Sometimes, when it's busy I feel like the pizza is rushed out of the oven when it could use a minute more. The service is slower when it's busy but that's not unreasonable. Overall I really enjoy this neighborhood pizza place. It's quality food.

Wow! This place is great! I have found my new favorite pizza house! Wonderful beers on tap and bottled. Fun vibrant space that is very kid friendly.

Great local Italian with fresh pizza, couple of pastas and really interesting and authentic salads. Nice simple wine list completes the experience. Way better than I expected for the location, a true gem.

Benchmark focuses on making excellent pizza, and they excel at this. They have three or four standard recipes, and then one or two seasonal dishes. In addition they do good pasta, and excellent salads. But the compelling reason to go there is for the pizza. There is a nice ambience to the place v much a local restaurant, but one where they pay attention to the quality of ingredients. Good selection of local draft beers, and interesting selection of wines. Go here a lot and always enjoy the visit!
