Korner Pizza — Restaurant in New York

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....

Korner pizza is the quintessential neighborhood pizzeria in Kensington Brooklyn, with a prime location. It's three blocks from McDonald avenue, where the Church Avenue train station is located, and three blocks from Ocean Parkway.

They have a great menu with all the standard fare you'd expect to find in any pizzeria in Brooklyn. I've had a wide variety of items off the menu and I've been a customer for over 20 years.

My recommendations if you want a sit down meal (as opposed to a slice or two) are either the ziti marinara with sausage (have the baked version if you want the extra cheese), or the grilled chicken caesar salad, or the spaghetti with white clam sauce.

If you order takeout, they are very good about providing you with a good deal of bread and grated cheese with your order.

They are very accommodating when it comes to special requests. I often call in a special request to make me a custom spinach roll from scratch with a lot of crushed red pepper mixed in with the cheese and spinach and they do so at no extra charge.

Counter service is very good, very friendly, very...

Update:

The gum chewing main cashier has only gotten worse, if that's possible. He'll act real helpful when the owners (who seem sweet) are watching to vet him, and totally change his demeanor when they're not around. And he gets a snobby attitude whenever you don't give tip, as if it should be expected. This man is poisoning your business! The other workers seem to be pretty reasonable and likeable.

Original Review:

It's remarkable to me that they have kept the same workers here for so many years, especially considering that the main cashier (short latino man, with a cap always on) is one of the worst I've ever dealt with. You would think his demeanor might change over the years, with increased adeptness and understanding, but no; he still gives you looks like he'd rather you leave, than he work; he still talks to you like your patronage is for granted.

Also, lower your prices. Read the room. We're in a tough economy right now, with many suffering. Your pizza is not that special. If places in Manhattan can give it away for three, you have no reason to be...
