Our flag ship restaurant opened in 1977 and is located at 177 Spring Street. For almost 40 years it has served up countless slices and ices along with its delicious appetizers, rolls, hot subs and gourmet salads. The iconic Famous Ben statue is as much a neighborhood fixture as the pizza itself!
In 2002 Famous Ben's received world wide recognition when it was featured in the block buster movie Men in Black 2 starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
Our notoriety doesn't stop there. Featured in Sex in the City, we are "on the map" and included in Soho Tours portion of Restaurants Filmed in Manhattan. "If real New York pizza is your thing'" then you're in luck when you stop into Famous Ben's!
In the warmer months our Spring Street location proudly serves home made ices prepared fresh daily at our restaurant. On a hot summer day, our customers enjoy ordering ices from our convenient ice window. Famous Ben's 10 custom flavors and daily specials are the perfect grab and go treat any day of the week!

Reviews
Famous Ben's Sicilian square - the best!! @ Famous Ben's Pizza http://instagr.am/p/RORB88HmTS/
"Quite possibly the BEST slice of Sicilian around."
"Definitely my favorite slice in Downtown Manhattan." Julian K.
"The Polermo slice is cause for concern. For me, there are slices all over the city that I will get, just if i'm in the area, but few I'll travel for. One is Ben's Polermo slice. It's delicious, crispy, oily, sort of light too.. For those of you complaining, just don't order the regular slice at Ben's. The tomato and olive sicilian is also great. PS. If you don't like surly Italian's serving you pizza, Go Somewhere Else, because what you call surly, I call character. New York should be a little gritty. I like it that way."
"My husband and I had Ben's during our visit to NY last May. We were referred by native New Yorkers.I have to say it was the best classic NY pizza I had the entire time we were there. We ate at about 5 different pizza by the slice joints. I went basic and had a slice of pep pizza. The red sauce on the pizza was chalk full of flavor! And I was blown away at how amazing the dough was. So soft! The sauce wasn't sweet just perfectly garlic-y and non acidic. I highly recommend Bens to anyone who wants classic NY pizza by the slice." Heather G., Los Angeles.
"Quite possibly the BEST slice of Sicilian around. I love this place. The pizza is hot, filling and delicious. Ridiculously delicious. It's so good. You HAVE to check it out. This place is definitely a must!" Baramee C., Brooklyn, NY
