Caveat before the review: It's four stars only because I've only ever had one item from Benton Station and that was the pizza, plus it was delivered so I did not go into the restaurant.
This was the message I sent them on their contact form:
"Good afternoon. I recently had the opportunity to try your pizza. The gentleman that delivered it to Riverside Church gleefully informed us all about the pizza. I was serving as an election judge yesterday and our dinner was the pizza. Well, I am from NY and, admittedly, a pizza snob. The gentleman used what most NYers would call "fighting words" by claiming that your pizza is just as good. I have been in MN for four years, and there have been many who have claimed the same thing and been far from it. So, I had some trepidation as I tried the pizza. Color me surprised when I discovered that your pizza is close to what I'm used to. The cheese is great, the sauce was great, and, while I don't normally go for Detroit-style pizza, found that to be inconsequential. Then came the thought: if you guys can get that close with a thin-crust pizza...how close could you get with a traditional crust?? Given that your ingredients are all fresh and never prefabricated, I think there is major potential here. As it stands, you are 90% the way there. While I can't say you would ever get to 100%, I think you can get to 98% of the way there. I was glad to be proven wrong and enjoyed your pizza immensely. Please consider making a more traditional NY-style crust."

Received rotten fruit in drink, had attitude from bartender. The prices on the menu don’t match with the bill because the menu is old. Over all won’t come again.

Good food, drink, and staff. Good place to hang out on weekends. Only downside is that they no longer have their comedy events due to covid. Karaoke and DJ is fun though.
