Extremely bummed that Joe Benny's closed.
They had the best focaccia I've ever had. It's thick, airy, fresh and has the perfect amount of crunch. I regret not coming here more often. The last time I came, I told myself I wouldn't wait so long to come back, and when I wanted to come back I find out they're closed. The optimist in me hopes this isn't permanent. Joe Benny's was an extremely lively spot. The last time we were here, our next door neighbor served us (we had no idea she worked here). Joe is one of a kind. I remember coming here when they were newly open and we had great conversation about the city of Baltimore. The next time we would talk about our love for Italy. The food is phenomenal, the space is cozy (bar seating in the front) and the people here are great. Being a huge Kobe fan, I did not expect Joe to create a Black Mamba focaccia honoring him. I guess it makes sense since Kobe grew up in Italy. That was super cool of him. Love this place and I really hope they come back.
Be the first to ReplySad to report Joe closed his doors last week.
Best balls in the town! Foccaia bread makes the pizza unique and delicious. Owned and operated by Joe himself. Yes he is in the kitchen. Bakes all the bread fresh daily and the ingredients are often local sourced. This was my cheers spot! #ThisFeedsMySoul
Be the first to ReplyTried both the meatballs and a foaccacia which was alright.
The meatballs weren't anything special in my opinion. The foccacia is good and better than you standard one, but I kind of just prefer a regular NY pizza slice. It also lacked sauce.

Was visiting Baltimore for a conference and wanted some good food. I arrived and the service was very good. It was super busy. I ordered the cold cut sandwich and it was amazing!!!!!!

The end is coming!!!! Great place and vibe! Make sure to visit before Joe closes shop. Looking forward to his return "We'll be back one day (promise)".
Be the first to ReplyI know they're closing at the end of the month but worth
I know they're closing at the end of the month but worth some final 5 star reviews! We had been waiting years to go, we don't live in the area and the few times we made it up there, they ran out of food so we were forced to go elsewhere. We did have to wait a little over an hour but it was certainly worth the wait! We got 3 different pizzas (one was not what we ordered but still delicious) and wine. The pizzas are baked on a focaccia bread and it adds such depth and texture to the pizza. The outside is crunchy and the inside is soft and the amount of toppings to bread ratio has been perfected. Also loved that they cut into strips, making it easy to eat and it held together very well! I am sad I was only able to check out JB's once and more sad to see it go but wishing the staff and owners a bright future!
Be the first to ReplyTLDR: Amazing focaccia pizza and an unforgettable
TLDR: Amazing focaccia pizza and an unforgettable neighborhood atmosphere. Unfortunately they are closing their doors at the end of May 2023 for the time being. But it's not a goodbye for forever, but see you later! Vibe: 5/5. Located in the heart of Little Italy on S High Street, Joe Benny's is a small rowhome restaurant. Inside, the restaurant holds approximately 30 guests at any given time by way of the long bar top and a handful of 2 tops in the back dining room. Joe Benny's has that neighborhood watering hole vibe down solid. Because the place is so narrow, diners will be in close quarters with the staff and other guests at all times, but that's not exactly a bad thing. The kitchen is located right behind the bar out in the open, so you can watch all items being made from start to finish. Unfortunately, by the time I post this review, Joe Benny's will be in their last few weeks of operation as they are planning to close up shop at the end of May. Due to the imminent closing, demand has been through the roof, so expect to wait 1hr+ at peak hours. Fortunately, it has been said that the closing is only for the immediate future and Joe plans to make a comeback in some shape or form in the future. Service: 4/5. We went on a Wednesday at 4:45pm (they open at 5pm) and there was a line of 30+ people stretching down the sidewalk waiting for them to open. When Joe opened the doors at 5pm, he warmly greeted people and mentioned that the "service may suck" tonight because they are short on staff being it's their last few weeks in operation. My party of 2 missed the first seating, so we decided to wait via standing at the bar inside the restaurant. Joe mentioned it would be around an hour wait, and he was pretty much spot on with that estimate. In the meantime, we kept ourselves busy with a few sangria's as we stood in the background listening to the friendly banter between Joe and his patrons. When we were finally seated a little before 6pm, we already had our order ready to go so the staff promptly took our food and drink orders to get it started. Both the food and drinks came out faster than expected which helped justify the long wait. Small miss, but one of the pizzas we ordered was misunderstood during the ordering process and we received a different pizza then what we anticipated. They asked if we wanted to get a replacement made, but we were totally fine with the pie we received, and we wanted to get the next group of diners in behind us. Food: 5/5. In a sea of pizza restaurants offering up more or less the same things, Joe Benny's truly has something special. The focaccia style pizza just hits different than any Sicilian, Detroit or Chicago style pizza I have ever had. The focaccia provides this unbelievably pillowy yet crisp base for Joe's amazing sauce and toppings. One thing I definitely appreciated was the frequent use of burrata cheese in the pizza combinations. Of the three pies we ordered, our favorite was by far the crabby Joe and the sharini. The Crabby Joe was their take on a crab dip pizza, but a much superior version using homemade garlic sauce paired with lump crab. The Sharini used their famous homemade meatballs paired with a heaping dose of burrata and sauce. Simple by design, but an amazing combination of textures and flavors. There were several other pizzas on the menu we wanted to try, but for 2 very hungry people, 3 pizzas was borderline overkill. Overall, I highly suggest paying your respects to Joe Benny's for a dinner service before they shut their doors. You may have to wait, but that focaccia and family atmosphere makes it well worth it!

Be the first to ReplyEnjoyed the best balls on the block (beef and pork blend)
Enjoyed the best balls on the block (beef and pork blend) topped with some burrata cheese, and paired with homemade focaccia bread. We loved the fiery eater pizza (torn pepperoni, pickled jalapeños, crushed pepper, mikes hot honey). Perfectly crispy, fluffy, and melty. Next time we'll get the chicken parm sandwich or joe Benny Italian sandwich, or meatball sub!Servers and bar tenders were friendly and greeted us when we entered. Also they have a hilarious menu with witty comments sprinkled throughout!!
Be the first to ReplyCame here for dinner last night with my family.
It's a pretty small space but they were able to accommodate us. The owner is very friendly as is the staff. We all tried the meatballs since that's their specialty and my parents said they were good. They did not disappoint. Honestly wish I would've ordered 4 of them just for myself but I wanted room to try other foods (lol). Me and my sister split the Sicilian salad, had a good variety of veggies in it and was super taWe all tried some different pizzas. I had the fancy nancy which had roasted eggplant and pesto, was super yummy and you got some veggies in. My sister had the Baltimore foodie which was good especially topped with the balsamic glaze. And my parents had the fire eater. They really enjoyed it. Overall loveeee this place and would come back here when I'm in town visiting.

Be the first to ReplyReally nice folks, great food.

Be the first to ReplyLiterally the most disappointing restaurant in Baltimore.
I've been trying to eat here for a few months now. Tried calling to place an order no one picks up the phone, the online ordering was down, showed up just to be told they've run out of everything... Some days their open, others they're not, doesn't feel like the hours are consistent. It's honestly just really bizarre, I've never had to try so hard to eat anywhere in my life even at restaurants that are "exclusive" and require reservations.
Be the first to ReplyMy family of 5 ate here.
We are from Chicago so we appreciate their listing of pizza as "pies" as we believe Chicago had the best pizza. However, I have to say the meatballs were THE BEST any of us have ever had and their pies were delicious!!! Besides that, the service was phenomenal. Stephanie, our waitress, ran the bar and all the tables. She was exceptional! I hope she is appreciated at work because I would go back just to chat with her!!! It is a small place but we hope to come back to Baltimore and eat here again. We will be dreaming of Joe's balls until then ;-)
Be the first to ReplySo awesome and fresh! I always get a pizza or a meatball
