Benny’s Pizza in Green Ridge: Home of One of the Best Cheesesteak Pizzas in NEPA
📍 Former Cosgrove’s / Morganz Location – Next to Green Ridge News
I’ve eaten a lot of cheesesteak pizzas over the years—some good, some forgettable—but the Double Crust Cheesesteak Pizza at Benny’s in Scranton’s Green Ridge section just might be the best I’ve ever had.
This isn’t just a gimmick pizza or a novelty “steak and cheese” mashup. This thing is an expertly crafted masterpiece—two layers of crisp, golden-brown dough packed with a generous amount of juicy, seasoned steak, a rich and flavorful cheese blend, and just the right amount of spice and salt to make each bite better than the last. It’s a beast of a pizza, but somehow still balanced, cohesive, and craveable.
A Familiar Location, A Fresh Vibe
For those familiar with the area, Benny’s Green Ridge location sits where Cosgrove’s and later Morganz Pizza once operated—right next to Green Ridge News. It’s always exciting to see a new chapter being written at a spot with pizza history, and Benny’s is doing it justice.
Wings, Apps, and More Worth Trying
Beyond the iconic cheesesteak pizza, Benny’s wings deserve a shoutout. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in a variety of flavorful sauces, they hold their own among NEPA’s best.
And don’t sleep on the Benny’s Appetizer Trio, either. It’s a perfect sampler for when you want a little bit of everything to start your pizza night off right.
More Than Just One Location
Benny’s is steadily growing across the region. In addition to the Green Ridge spot, you can also find them in:
- South Abington
- Peckville
- And coming soon to Downtown Scranton
Each location keeps the same quality and consistency while offering local convenience no matter where you are in NEPA.
