About

Ben's is a legendary one-stop shop for workers in the Vernon industrial area. The pizza is surprisingly good, and the portions are massive. While some customers have mixed feelings about the service or the crowd outside, most agree it is the best spot for a quick, hearty lunch. It is a no-frills, reliable place that has been feeding the neighborhood for years.
