About the Business

Specialties

"Savor farm and sea to fork Italian fare at Chef Vivian Howard's newest restaurant found in the charmingly renovated South Front District near historic downtown. This fantastic casual restaurant features an open kitchen, and offers a variety of dishes featuring pies from two wood burning pizza ovens to house made fresh pasta. Complement your choices with draft beer, craft cocktails and delicious wine. Come see why this is one of the few restaurants ever filmed for a National Television Show, featured in a National Magazine and on Southern Living's "Top 13 Things to Eat" list prior to its opening." We believe Pizza Makes People Happy!

History

Established in 2017.

The origin of Bennys Big Time Pizzeria surprisingly did not start with an image of a Neapolitan pizza restaurant. Ben and Vivian were pitched an idea to open up another "Boiler Room" (their second kinston restaurant), but this time in the city of Wilmington. While checking out multiple locations in Wilmington, they came across the building in which they now reside, the beautiful Block T-shirt factory, which was renovated by Tribute Properties into apartments, with a retail space for lease in the front! When they saw the building, the theme of the Boiler Room didn't feel right. After much thought of what could they do here, fine dining, casual, seafood, they were torn, the lists went on. Suddenly they thought of a timeless idea, Pizza! They worked tirelessly to create a unique Neapolitan Pizza experience here in the ILM. They have been in the south front district now for almost 6 years and will continue to bring a family friendly, farm to table experience unlike any other!
