Benny Pennello’s

Benny Pennello’s is the NoDa home of the 28 inch pie, where a single slice needs two plates and the crust is crisp enough to hold it. It is part of a small Virginia based group, with a South End sibling called Benny Ferrovia’s on West Tremont. The NoDa shop is the late night anchor of the North Davidson strip.
