Stop 013: Bennie Blanco's (Capital Hill)







Bennie Blanco's

Location:  616 E. 13th Ave.  Denver, CO  80203 

Well, so far this is the best drinking slice in town.  Let me refute the negatives that people attach to BB that has nothing to do with their product.  Many people complain about the service, but how bad can anybody fuck up a pizza by the slice transaction unless you let them.  If you don't like the service here, that's fine because your entire experience should  be less than 2 minutes long.  If the guy is being a "dick" don't engage him in conversation, and when you get your slice, just walk away and eat it.  There is no need for exceptional service in a pizza slice shop with no dining area.  Parking is tough, so  grab a slice if you are in the area, don't make it a destination.  I'm sure the residents of Capital Hill could care less if you are having trouble parking a Subaru in their neighborhood to grab a slice of pizza, because BB is designed for foot traffic.  Now let's talk about the pizza...  a single slice of Bennie Blanco's is literally  the size of an infant, and for the meager price of $2.50, what's not to like.   If you manage to make it through the mainland without being filled, the puffy yet crisp crust will  expand in your stomach to leave less room for  future slices.  My only gripe is the sauce is just lightly painted onto the dough which is absorbed by the cheese to bind into a compound element.  Two slices will do the trick for most consumers, but I respect anyone who wants to go 3 or 4.  One of my favorite things about Bennie Blanco's, is that it leaves the eater with a pleasant hint of garlic for reflection.





Author's note:  I returned to Bennie Blanco's within a week of my first experience
