Highlights: Super friendly service, a quaint little wrap around porch to dine on and a really special salad on the menu thats not to be missed. The salad features spinach, diced chicken, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cruton crumbs and bright bites of fresh sectioned navel oranges, this is all combined with a sweet poppyseed creamy dressing (poppyseed?). This salad is entree sized and left me feeling satisfied. I didnt try the pizza but my table guests shared the pepperoni pie. They said the crust had a good flavor but was undercooked in the middle. We also shared the "fries" which are actually homemade potato wedges with rosemary. They were hot and fresh but not what we were anticipating. They were the type of fry that would be better served as a side dish with steak or chicken, not so much what comes to mind with a basket of fries. All in all I enjoyed myself and would be back - probably for another salad. Waitress seemed genuinely kind and made us feel welcome which is rare nowadays, thanks Cornerstone! read more

I was in Ellensburg with the group The Alley Cats performing at the fair & rodeo. We travel all over the US and eat out everyday we are on tour. Of all the places we ate in Ellensburg, by far Cornerstone was the best. I ate there 3 times in 4 days! Why? The food is creative, beautiful, and dang delicious. You can tell they are not phoning it in and take great pride in their work. Casey, the chef, is an artist! We had the pizzas, grinders, salads, and desserts. All fantastic! The service is also great! The staff is kind, eager, and knowledgeable. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed with a smile and a friendly vibe. If you are within 50 miles of this place make it your goal to get here!! read more

We were excited to eat here based on the reviews. I would give the opening service 3 stars based on the number people in the restaurant and that we sat for 10 minutes as multiple wait staff walked by us not even acknowledging us. We were just getting ready to leave when some one came to the table. The food was a 4 star as the pizza was very good the unique combinations of types of pizza added to the stars. Overall the pizza was very good and the service improved as the meal continued. Might be good to acknowledge the guest once they have been seated. read more

Cornerstone did an amazing job for our catering needs. They are reasonably priced, helped guide us through our catering experience, and had everything ready and delivered on time. The pizzas were a huge hit and everything was fresh and hot. We love Cornerstone and will make it our "go to" place from here on out. Thank you so much Cornerstone read more

Very good pizza. You can taste the difference from the regular "take out" pizza. Its most definitely worth the price. The owners are also very sweet and own D & M Coffee Company. I've been a fan of the Malek's for as long as i can remember. read more

Cornerstone Pie is one of the best restaurants in Ellensburg. They primarily serve artisan pizza, but have a good variety on their menu. They're a little on the more pricey end (for a college town), but the food is great and the service is wonderful! I highly recommend the potato and arugula pizza! read more

We are from out of town and were looking for someplace to have dinner. We saw a couple posters around town about a concert but were a little confused by this. Was there a pizza place at a bigger outdoor venue? We decided to check it out, so glad we did. Service was excellent, from every employee. We had pizza and a salad, quality ingredients. My salad could have had a little more on it. The outdoor porch area goes almost around the building. Wine grapes growing on the fence, lavender, large boulders. They have a small stage area, with lighting that was really impressive and not over the top but asthetically well done. We were treated to an evening of live blues music, what an enjoyable night. read more

I was very impressed by these folks. Even on a busy Friday night, they were careful to ensure my pizza had no dairy or meat, even double-checking the balsamic reduction. The end result was delicious, with peppers, spinach, & artichoke hearts. My husband had a double pepperoni pizza that he declared wonderful. We did take-out, but the service & kitchen were well-organized, friendly, & attentive. read more

Great pizza, nice staff. A bit more expensive than I expected, but really good. Outdoor and indoor seating. Good beer selection. Definitely will try again next time I am in the area. read more

I've been here twice now, tonight I met the manager Caesar who could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The entire staff is friendly and they all are warm and very professional. The pizza is very good, especially the crust. I've had the pepperoni and tonight I had cheese with bacon and feta. The Caesar salad is delicious too. They have a good selection of Washington beers on tap. I can't say enough good things about this place...GO! read more

Sam was the best. Give that guy a beer. He took care of our large party with a smile, great attitude, and great beer! Thanks, Sam!! read more

Cornerstone Pie - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Well we had their penne and cheese, Caesar salad and breadsticks, gluten free garlic chicken pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and a regular crust garlic chicken pizza. Now while our visit here while on our way home from B.C wasn't the best-I can say that they did their best to compensate for the mistake and not only gave us a free pizza they messed up on (bringing a regular crust instead of a gf one first) but also did not charge us for the replacement one. Not sure I would recommend the gf crust-it was undercooked and a bit doughy (although may have been cause they were rushing to get it out after bringing out the wrong pizza the first time). The other pizzas were good per my son. The penne and cheese was yummy per my daughter and the atmosphere was good. (I bet it would be great in the summer time on the patio). I'll give 3 stars for now-the flavors were mostly there and if we go back through again we may choose to stop back by to give it a second chance. read more

See all

Stopped in for a bite on our way to Seattle. Pizza selection was awesome! Very gourmet at a reasonable price. Pizza came out perfect! Not charred or doughy, which sometimes can be a struggle with fire roasted pizza joints. The potato and arugula pizza was delicious!! Waitress was nice and friendly. Great place overall. read more

Generally you cant go wrong with pizza and beer. Weather you're sitting at the bar solo enjoying a game or with thr crew at a table in the back, there's always and aroma of deliciousness floating in tbe air. My recommendation would be the pizza thats has prawns and scallops; pizza and seafood definitely works ! read more

Great pizza selection for Ellensburg. The potato pizza and donnas fav are my go to pizzas. They have a fun atmosphere and works well for groups. What's nice is that you can order 2 different sizes of every pizza so it should satisfy any type of hunger. The crust is also very good! Overall - it's a good place for fancy pizza in Ellensburg. read more

Super good late lunch! The young people working here were so very nice and helpful. Had delicious chef salad. Chef salad was so fresh--loved it!!!! Husband had 1/2 pepperoni pizza/sausage & fennel along with a small Cesar salad. Will return on next trip through Ellensburg. read more

No a wide variety of beers to choose from basically all the same style. French fries are more like breakfast potatoes not bad just not fries Staff somewhat friendly very over staffed on Sunday afternoon read more

Cornerstone Pie - Breakfast "fries" - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Our family was heading from the Seattle area to the Tri-Cities and we're looking for some grub, we turned to Yelp and found Cornerstone and were very intrigued. When we got off the exit in Ellensburg we saw a DQ and almost pulled off there - a blizzard was also very intriguing after hours in the car. Anyways, we ended up LOVING Cornerstone Pie. We'd definitely go back, and absolutely recommend it to friends! It was so delicious, service was great and the location was really really neat. Loved the ambiance. We ordered the Super Kale salad, a small Chicken and Garlic pizza and a large half Margarita and half Firehouse! It was soooo delicious. Every single bite. I wish we had more reason to go to Ellensburg, or that they had locations in Seattle. Super great place. Go check it out! read more

Cornerstone Pie - Super Kale salad, margarita pizza and a half Garlic Chicken and half Firehouse pizza! LOVED it. Would go back. - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

I would say more like 2.5 stars. My impression is that they are trying to create a unique menu and pizza experience, but the food fell short. The steak sandwich was just odd...a mixture of less-than tender steak with bizarre combinations. Adding kale to a steak sandwich was not appetizing and seems opportunistic instead of paying attention to flavor profiles. It also had a few other additions that over complicate it. Sometimes when you aren't confident in your food, you keep adding ingredients to compensate. Simple is better! Cheesy bread was forgettable and dry. Will not be eating their pizza again. Another over-priced pizza under the guise of "artisan pizza". The pulled pork pizza barely had pork and fell way short of flavor. Artisan or originality does not matter when the flavor is not there. A good try, but will not be going back unless it's just for beer and friends. read more

Great Pizza, very nice atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed their drinks and deserts! Highly recommended.

Went here during the first week of operations and the pizzas were kinda lack-luster, but I'm happy to report that they have greatly improved the quality! The pizzas are about the size of a regular medium pizza, so they are best shared between 2 people (maybe 3 if you're not that hungry). I wish they had more of a selection on their menu (especially for those with restrictive diets) but they're kind of a hodge-podge of espresso joint/pint bar/pizza cafe, so I understand that their focus is not on putting out amazing culinary creations. The seating on the inside is not that comfortable (mostly basic tables with stools or hard chairs) but the small patio on the outside would be a nice place to sit with a beer and a pizza and enjoy the sunshine when the weather is nice. On the plus side, since this place is owned by the D&M Coffee people, they serve great coffee in the mornings without the craziness of the college crowds at their other locations. Overall, this place doesn't wow me, but the re-purposed decor is amusing and the service is always great so I'll be back. read more

Has to be some of the best pizza ive ever had, great service, had the ghostfish grapefruit ipa and it was amazing as well.

Nothing here to drop this place out of a 5. Great pizzas, great, spot-on beer selection. Excellent server--always concerned we were taken care of. The Chef knows his food and beer. Locals already know--but travelers need to stop here!! So damn good!! read more

Cornerstone Pie - Counter area. - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Great little place. Porch is dog friendly. Great helpful staff. My favorite thing was the veggie pizza. That alone is worth an excellent review. Squash, artichoke, peppers, pesto and balsamic vinaigrette. What a great combo! The honey for the crust makes it even better. Go here! read more

Pizza is good, service is a bit slow unless you sit at the counter. I've been in multiple times and have had to wait extremely long to get another beer if I'm not at the counter. The pesto Pacifica and fire house are solid options. They could switch up their tap selection more often read more

Ordered the "Donna's Fav" pie ($12). Not bad for how large it is. The crust was perfectly chewy; good long-proof dough here. My one critique is that many of the pies are loaded with ingredients that quickly dampen the otherwise crisp crust. If you're in a hurry: my pie came out in 7 minutes from ordering. Very quick due to the hot oven (575 degrees). read more

Cornerstone Pie - Delish! - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

What a great couple of pie's! Garlic Chicken & Donna's. So good the roasted garlic was so sweet and tasty. I could have just ate those by themself. The waitstaff were great, friendly and on top of their game all night. We definitely didn't feel neglected or forgotten about from water to pizza or just wanting to shoot the breeze for a bit. By far the best pizza & service I've had in washington state in a long time. Now for the pizza because that is what yelpers want to know about: Garlic chicken the sauce was so creamy, the herb chicken breast was very moist for being on a pizza. The other toppings like the fire roasted tomatoes, green onions and fresh basil were paired so well with everything - my mouth or stomach couldn't complain about this pizza! Now one of the namesakes of the owners: Donna's Fav - Tomato sauce, fresh ovalini mozzarella, kalamata olives, roasted garlic cloves, red onions, and Italian sausage, topped with savory pesto - a new true classic pizza! I will definitely hope to find a pizza place that makes something similar in the Seattle area or i'll just have to build this beauty of a pizza! read more

Awesome atmosphere, and even better pizza! My children loved this place! They even give the kids dough to shape themselves and they cook it! How awesome?! read more

I absolutely love this place! Try the pizza with sweet balsamic - omg so good. The kids get dough to play with and then eat (they'll bake it for them) and I also love the appetizers during Happy Hour. Outdoor eating is nice when it isn't super windy. read more

Fantastic pizza but the service was slow. Took 40 minutes to get our pizzas and we were very hungry by the time we got them. The kitchen staff talked more than anybody did in the restaurant. Slow service good pizza! read more

Went with my son who is a student for dinner and was pleasantly surprised! When he said we were going for pizza my expectations were low! They have a lot of great choices for not so normal toppings! We had half Thai and half Black and Bleu and both were fantastic. They have a great wine selection and of course local beers. If pizza isn't your thing they also have grinders and some great appetizer choices! I can see why this place is so popular. Our server was also excellent. Even though it was very crowded, she was prompt and very nice! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, very cautious of social distancing and all employees wearing mask. Really enjoy the place

Good pizza. Don't bother with the breadsticks. Does serve liquor but has limited variety. Nice outdoor seating on the porch but the view is of the Safeway across the street. read more

Cornerstone Pie - Pizza Near Me - Ellensburg, Washington

Great, chewy crust (that is yummy dipped in the honey & chili flakes provided on each table) and interesting topping combinations! We ordered the potato & arugula, which had lots of roasted garlic cream and bacon and arrived with a pile of fresh arugula on top, and the pepperoni with the suggested caramelized onions. Friendly, helpful service rounded out our experience. A very solid option for well executed wood-fired pizza! read more
