Pizza King Of Mooresville — Restaurant in Mooresville

Not the Pizza King you are looking for...

Our visit was about an hour after they opened on Dec. 31, 2020.

To be up front, I grew up around Muncie (origin of Pizza King) and the corporate owned Pizza Kings in the area.

So... in my opinion (using the Muncie area Pizza Kings as a reference), is this a good Pizza King ? Absolutely not. The pizza is completely different and the breadsticks are also completely different.

I'm attempting to separate the name of the restaurant with their food. Even then I was honestly not impressed. I, truly, have eaten better frozen pizza. I really wanted to like the breadsticks, as I am a breadstick fanatic. But I was sorely disappointed.

In truth, my review is probably somewhat colored by my anticipation of wonderful Pizza King pizza and breadsticks, and having that anticipation being crushed.

Many of the reviews for this restaurant are really good. We may have gotten food from them on a bad day or something, I don't know. However, I can only review my own experience, no matter how much I wish it had been...

Pizza King is more than a Central Indiana tradition, it's a religion among those that grew up with eating it.

The Mooresville location is take-out only. However, they smartly have a dining room for customers to eat in. So there is no table service. This PK does not offer traditional breadsticks known to the chain, nor the same Royal Feast. Also no alcohol is served. However, you can purchase two liters of soda and get cups from them.

We ordered a large pepperoni and sausage. The staff was super! The dining room was clean. They were busy too! They offer paper plates if eating in.

The pie arrived hot and crispy out of the oven in its trade mark square slices. It smelled and looked amazing! The taste proved to be spot on correct, just like when I grew up.

For me a solid 4+. But I am rounding down with a few of the Pizza King traditions missing. Also the waiters...

Food was alright definitely served hot, with the exception of the pizza sauce which I was told only comes cold with no way of warming it up unfortunately bread sticks were a bit too done but still eat able. The bathroom light was out both times we "dined in" so even tho it is wheelchair accessible (parking lot is busted up and a little rough" the bathroom light issue presented issues with my handicap child who loves loves loves cheese pizza and only eats the cheese which as you can imagine becomes VERY expensive to fill up so with 2 small 10 inch cheese pizzas 1 med 14 inch half meat lovers, half pepperoni and 1 order of bread sticks 2 small drinks (no refills) was right around $60. Staff is talkative...
