Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2022, Benjys Pizza has three inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on May 21, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been moving in the right direction: three violations last time, two this time.

The most common issue across all inspections has been anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided, showing up two times.

Compared to the broader Queens restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
