About BenCotto
A historic pizza-spot-turned-flower-shop has once again become a pizzeria: BenCotto is now open in the space occupied by Circle Pizza for nearly 50 years. BenCotto (“well done” in Italian) features a wood-fired brick oven, about 40 seats and a full bar. Owners Joe Bono (Al Dente, Benevento’s) and Warren Mustacchio have created an old world Italian concept with a modern style. In addition to wood-fired brick oven pizza, they offer an array of italian specialities including fresh seafood and pasta. Gluten free options are available.
