“ Not bad. ”
“ Sooooo good, sooo legit. Pizzas are always fresh. So many options from burgers/fries, wings, bowls, sandwiches, to Mexican. All legit Portions are huge. Breakfast Burritos the size of mini coopers. Their "large" pizza is basically an XL anywhere else. Love that the crust isn't doughy - perfectly thin. Love that they're also a convenience store. Lots of variety from craft beer to traditional cervezas. Prices here are the best in Vernon by a mile. Best of all...all the employees are so friendly and helpful. 1000% recommend! ”
“ This has been a place I've been eating off and on for lunch in the last 12 years. Best spot ever food is good and fresh beverages snacks lottery ickets. everything you need in one spot. Even tvs to watch while you eat your lunch h. Check it out! ”
“ I finally got around to trying this place, I was always intrigued to try their pizza, and I actually really enjoyed it! Kind of similar to Costco pizza in taste but with more of a mom n pop feel to it. I'll definitely be going back. The only thing I'd give anyone a heads up on is that it is connected directly with a liquor store (on the inside) so you might see some characters walking in and out of the same door as you. They have plenty of tables and seating to dine-in which I thought was pretty neat. Good spot to sit down and have some lunch or take it on the go. ”
“ There’s not many things that make my kids as excited as pizza, but a 28” pizza!!! They were beyond thrilled chowing down on this yummy pizza. Loved that they had a huge selection of toppings, though my kids are particular to pepperoni only. Thank you Ben’s General Store for making mine and my children’s week! ... ”
