WOW!!! BEST PIZZA EVER!!! I cant say enough about their food. It may be a little more, price wise, than their competition but it is definitely worth it. Great wings with a bunch of different sauces and did i mention their pizza is GREAT! Welcoming staff and pretty cool atmosphere! Cant wait to go back!!!
Review Source:My stomach is still angry from my visit to Ramuntos of Bennington last night. Heard positive reviews of this place from various sources, students at Bennington mostly, who probably have more spare money to eat out with than I do and do not mind spending a lot on food that is maybe a notch above cafeteria food.
We ordered a meatball sub and an eggplant parmesan sub and then sat at the bar and ordered beers. We finished our first and, still waiting for our sandwiches, had to order a second round because we were so hungry! I got some kind of stout made by a brewery apparently located behind the brick building that houses Off the Wall Gym, which tasted like root beer made in an old boot.
We were aware that the place closes at 9 on Sunday, but we thought that ordering two relatively uncomplicated sandwiches at 8:15 would not present a problem. So, we got our food at ten to 9, and while we were guzzling the rest of our second beers and eating our sandwiches the waitress came right over and asked if I wanted the sandwich that was halfway to my mouth to go. $35--see ya!
Ramuntos had as much ambience as the place where you get free breakfast at a Holiday Inn. We passed Man of Kent on our way home, wishing we had not decided to try Ramuntos but had instead gone to one of our favorite places in Bennington.
Ramunto's Pizza opened up a new location in the former Alldays & Onions space. They have several independently owned and operated locations throughout VT and NH. I've enjoyed the pizza at the other Ramunto's locations in NH (Hanover and Lebanon).
This Ramunto's serves up New York and Sicilian pizzas (by the slice & pie), calzones, hot & cold hoagies, pasta, salads, appetizers, Coke beverages, and desserts. A children's menu is available and lunch specials on the blackboard are offered Mon-Fri until 3PM including 2 specialty pizza slices and a soft drink for $5. 20 beers on tap and wine by the glass are also offered. The prices here are moderate and the pizza prices tend to be on the higher side, starting at $12.95 for a large 16" cheese pizza and $15.99 for a Sicilian pizza.

While passing through Bennington, I stopped at Ramunto's Pizza for dinner takeout. The place was fairly busy on a Monday night. The place is cozy and casual which has finished picnic table seating in the front dining area and a bar section. Â Also noted, the other Ramunto's locations I've been to use brick ovens, while this location uses conventional pizza ovens (hence no "Brick Oven" in the name). The selection of specialty pizza slices behind the glass counter was pretty good.
I decided to order 2 specialty slices (1 NY pizza slice and 1 Sicilian pizza slice) for carryout. The pizza slices were not huge and warmed up quickly in the oven and the total came out to $5.45 with tax.
Both pizza slices tasted good, but definitely could've been hotter temperaturewise. The NY slice was topped with sundried tomatoes, grilled chicken, pepperoni, broccoli, red sauce, and plenty of cheese (browned on top), the crust was thicker and soft along the edge, and firm and thin towards the point. The Sicilian pizza slice was topped with green peppers, onions, ground sausage, black olives, sauce and plenty of melted cheese on top, the thick crust was crisp on the bottom and soft inside with a dry texture.
Overall, the pizza slices at this location were decent and counter service was very prompt.
