Now open in Concord: Benny DaCorsa’s, a new location of Virginia-based Benny’s — the pizzeria where every location has a different name.

The pizzeria is known for selling giant slices of pepperoni and specialty flavors such as The Soprano, with bacon mac n’ cheese and crispy onions, and Bobby Bruschetta, with tomatoes, basil, onions and balsamic glaze.

“Congratulations to our very first customer! Benny DaCorsa’s is officially open for business, we can’t wait to meet and serve you some tasty oversized slices,” the restaurant posted on Instagram.

Benny DaCorsa’s sits in a downtown Concord spot near What-A-Burger, just around the block from Chocolatier Barrucand, Havana Carolina, Juamoto Sunfired Cuisine and Cabarrus Creamery. It will join two other Charlotte-area locations, Benny Pennello’s in NoDa and Benny Ferrovia’s in South End.
