People were nice enough but I’ve had better pizza at $1 pizza places in Manhattan than this place and that’s not saying much. … More

A local described this to us as "the best pizza in the city." In reality, it's overpriced ($22 for a plain cheese pizza + about $12 for each topping) and tastes more like Little Caesar's. Thankfully, that local paid on our behalf, so I'm not personally feeling duped. We later had pizza from two other restaurants, and they were both considerably better. And don't get me started on "cash only." Pros: - Neutrals: - Kind of tastes like Little Caesar's, which I hear some people like. Negatives: - Super expensive, especially if you want a topping or two. - Not all that special. - Cash only...in 2021, when digital money is king. Possibly to avoid paying taxes...? Quality: 3/5 Price: 1/5 Not terrible, but just not really worth it. Being well-established shouldn't be considered an excuse to rip people off.

Amazing! First off the owner is a doll! You are made to feel like family. We’ve been looking for our neighborhood pizza place for years and have bounced around now we finally have a place we can order from weekly. You want authentic old school Italian then here you go. Food: 5 Service: 5

This is Probably the most overrated & overpriced pizzeria in Kensington Brooklyn. The Pizzas are trash. They don't accept credit or Google/Apple pay. They're not adjusting with the times. They take cash only. The staff sucks. I have no idea how this place got a good reputation. More

I write this review with regret. I live just a few blocks from Korner Pizza. In the past, I became frustrated with them not getting my order correct for delivery and decided to "hang low" - you know, not order anything from them for a while. Well, over the last couple of weeks, I decided I would order some garlic bread from them for pick--up. When I went to pickup the garlic bread, this nice older lady took care of me. She was friendly and we talked about how her parents-in-law started the business 60-something years ago, etc, etc. We had a nice conversation. And the garlic bread was good! Well, this evening, around 7:00pm, I called to place a pickup order - Ziti with white clam sauce, with extra garlic and extra mushroom, with an order of garlic bread. I arrived about 30 minutes later to pickup my order, and had a nice quick chat with the older lady. I left a 4 dollar tip on a 25 dollar pu order. When I returned home to eat, I realized there were no mushrooms whatsoever on the order, nor were there napkins or utensils in the bag. I'm sorry, but as a late-fifties man who has placed an order or two in my day, I find it completely unacceptable in 2025 to not include those items in an order. Its an insult, really. In the 60-some-odd years they've been in business, they've not worked out some kind of system to ensure each order gets napkins and utensils???? If they don't care about the basics, how can I trust with them what I eat?????? I am NEVER EVER ordering from Korner Pizza again. Farewell. Its not magic or high thought that ensured customer satisfaction. Its just caring. Plain and simple. And if Korner Pizza doesn't care, I don't care about writing a well-deserved poor review. Price per person $20–30

Overpriced bad pizza. Here’s what this place has going wrong for it: 1) The 18” special is $36 freaking dollars, and it somehow tastes completely flavorless despite having a half dozen or more toppings 2) It turned my guts inside-out. This garbage gave me a nauseous gurgling colon within two hours of eating. I am NOT lactose intolerant, so this means they use fake over-processed mozzarella or something like that. 3) It’s cash-only. In 2024. Come on, get with the 21st century for crying out loud. Others in the neighborhood recommended this place, and all I can think is that they’re out of their goddamm minds — or maybe they’ve just never eaten real food made with fresh ingredients. Thought it might have been something else from that day, so had a leftover slice for lunch to make sure. Nope! Two hours later, same horrorshow in my intestines. Had to throw out the rest of the leftovers because it made me so sick. Seriously, forget this place! Beverley Pizzeria, right around the corner, has an amazing Southwestern pie that costs less, tastes a thousand times better and doesn’t make me feel like puking while I’ve got the squirts at the same time. Sorry, Korner Pizza. Gave you one chance. Never, ever again. Order type Take out Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
