About Back Bench Pizza

Located at 563 E Main St, Ventura, CA 93001, Back Bench Pizza operates as a pizza restaurant serving Ventura in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. The most common schedule is 12–4 pm. It is closed on Monday, Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. Its website is backbenchpizza.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 123 reviews, which is a strong result for a pizza restaurant in Ventura and suggests consistent service.

Ventura is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Traffic in Ventura peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We must have missed the friendly staff day :-) … pretty gruff cook/cashier. True NYC pizza though. Also, you will be listening to hard rock / punk music is you eat in. Overrated.

Really great pizza. Best pizza I’ve had since moving to CA from NYC. Really good ratios, taste, and crisp/texture. The owner had our pizzas out fast despite having difficulty with an arm injury. Will definitely be back, will be my go to weekly pizza spot. Highly recommend!

First time here. Came here at 5p opening. Plenty of seats by. Ordered a large pizza for dine in. Mult tickets before use. Had to wait an about 30 minutes for our pizza. It was worth the wait. Sauce is very flavorful, crust is thin and crunchy.

Had a great conversation with the owner. Seemed like a very nice guy. The pizza is probably the very best around, very authentic new York thin crust. This is the type of pizza that Dave Portnoy would give a high 9+. Toasted nice undercarriage, no flop, wonderful sourdough crust. If it wasn't for the sort of hidden location this place would be viral in the US...

Back Bench Pizza is hands down the best slice in Ventura. They use sourdough for the crust but somehow still get that perfect thin, crispy bite. The sauce is amazing too, super balanced and not overly sweet like a lot of places. Grab one of the homemade chocolate chip cookies while you’re there too, you wont regret it!
