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

Been coming here 10+ years and it’s about time I left a review to acknowledge the awesome work this family business is doing! The pizza is consistently delicious, no frills customer service- serving up Brooklyn realness. One of the few anchors of Church Ave that’s earned its legacy :).

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.

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 … More

We go here for the dough. They are very kind and support our home-cooked pizza habit. So every Friday we do "take and bake" pizza there. They never turn us down. More

Are we in Manhattan or what is good with the prices?? $5 for a pepperoni slice? That tastes just as good as Beverly Pizza who charges less. Last time I paid that much for a slice at least it was to die for. Korner? Not so much. … More

Korner Pizza took a weird request and turned it into a reality. Our odd request was a heart shaped pizza, and Korner pizza delivered.

Probably the worst slice of pizza I've had in New York City. Absolutely no flavor at all. It's the kind of pizza you get in college when taste doesn't matter. Would give one star if it wasn't for the good service. Guys behind the counter were pretty nice. More
