For 18 years, Benji & Jake’s has been a beloved staple of Kauneonga Lake, serving up more than just great pizza—it’s a place where memories are made, friendships are formed, and good times are always on the menu. Owned by Benji and Hali Friehling, along with their son Shaia, their restaurant has built a loyal following and is always ready to welcome new fans and friends.

Nestled on the shores of Kauneonga Lake, just minutes from Bethel Woods in the heart of the Catskills, Benji & Jake’s offer more than just brick-oven pizza. Our full menu features a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes that capture the spirit of lake life—casual, delicious, and made to be shared. Whether you’re here for a family dinner, a drink on the deck, or a bite after a day on the water, Benji & Jake’s is about great food, good vibes, and lasting connections. Our restaurant offers a warm, casual atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can kick back, enjoy the view, delicious food, a welcoming vibe, and the kind of laid-back charm that makes the Catskills so special.
