Great wood-fired pizza and nice craft beer selection on tap plus fun atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly. We had the bruschetta, Carolina pulled pork pizza and the black and blue pizza. All super tasty!! Lots of creative pizzas to choose from. Been through Ellensburg a hundred times going back and forth to Seattle and now we have a great place to stop. It's definitely worth the extra 5 min drive off the highway. Just a few blocks from Central Washington University. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended. read more

The atmosphere here is great and I love the pizza very much. Though if I were being honest my rating would truly be a 3.5 rather than a 4. Cornerstone has a great location and the restaurant itself is beautiful... And the waitstaff is friendly! The pizza is pretty great and has very generous portions. Which is why I was so surprised when my friends and I ordered appetizers of such stingy portions. The bruschetta was $8 and only offered 3 pieces of bread with the tomato toppings, whereas when I order this from Brix at the same price I get more than three times what Cornerstone offers (surprising since ingredients are so simple). The shrimp appetizer we ordered was also tiny and was not deveined! The plus side is that these appetizers were plated beautifully. I do enjoy coming here for the pulled pork pizza and will continue to but I really think they should reevaluate either pricing or portions for appetizers. read more

We went there the second day it was open to celebrate an anniversary and we were not disappointed! It was busy but we were able to snag a large table in a room they opened up to accommodate everyone. We tried 3 different pizzas, the cheese platter, fries and bruschetta, everything was very tasty and the service was fast. The crust on the pizza wasn't thick and doughy so you could really taste the toppings and the homemade sauces. I love how they incorporated the old fixtures into the restaurant, what a wonderful new addition to our small town. read more

Stopped in when we arrived to late at our campground to desire to make dinner. It was a great surprise! Wonderful friendly service from the hostess and our server. The patio was dog friendly and our server brought our pup some biscuits! We ordered several different pizzas which were all excellent-great crust and tasty fresh ingredients. They also had a nice selection of NW brews and wines to go with our pizzas. We would definitely come back when we are in Ellensburg again! read more

Food was ok but the service was horribly slow. The dining room is super loud and you can barely hear the people sitting right next to you.

I've been here twice. The first time with my sister, and the experience was great. The food was amazing, we sat up at the bar, and were able to see the pizzas being made. Something I really value in restaurants: transparency! It was super cute, albeit a tad cramped, but it was a Friday night so it was crowded, go figure. The second time, however, was not the best experience. A group of my friends went here because we were craving non-dining hall food that we're used to as freshmen at CWU. We noticed that our waitress was not really paying much attention to us after we ordered - filling up waters, letting us know the status of our orders, etc. This became especially frustrating when our orders were taking forever; like, an hour delay. And, when we finally got our food, one of my friends pizzas was burnt, which makes sense as they were probably in a rush once they found out how long it was taking to get our food. Other than that, the food was amazing once again. However, we hardly received an apology from our waitress, but I think that was mostly due to the fact that she was embarrassed or did not want the confrontation, which I totally get. I honestly believe it was just a bad day, bad circumstance, etc; this happens in customer service all the time. I work as a host, so I completely empathized with her. Everything was fixed thanks to one of the other workers there, who gave us 50% on all of our orders, which was a very kind gesture. I could tell that they felt really bad about everything, and I think we were all especially bitter about it because we were a flock of hangry college students, lol. It was a pretty damaging experience to be honest, and I probably won't make the effort to come back soon unless the opportunity is presented to me. But, the experience didn't take away from the fact that the pizzas and salads are to die for!!! read more

Always a good choice. Great pizza options, beer selection and salads. They bring pizza doe to the kids and that keeps them happy for quite awhile. read more

The staff here is very friendly, taking time to visit with us. The service was excellent and the food is delicious! All food is homemade. The clam chowder was creamy and full of flavor. The cheesecake melted in our mouths. We are very happy with it here! read more

Because the owner of Cornerstone Pie was very kind and willing to make up for the mishap at his restaurant, I am changing my rating of this pizza place because the veggie pizza my friends shared with me was quite delicious and everyone else in my group really enjoyed their food. read more

Great food! Ate here two nights in a row. Excellent wood fired pizzas, delicious Moroccan pork special, homemade dressings and sauces. Yum, yum! The staff was super friendly and attentive. read more

Great Pizza! Good service and great menu! Lavender Lemonade was good but not very different from any other lemonade. Fair prices for sure.

Came here with my two kids and hubby for lunch. First I really wanted to like this place. The ambience is great and the prices are just fine. But sadly the food was nothing spectacular which sucks because I really want this place to succeed. It's clear they are trying. I think it's the lack of fresh ingredients. The caprese salad had Roma tomatoes cut in fourths. And the tomatoes were clearly not fresh. So gross. When one can't get a fresh tomato it's best to do a cherry or take it off the menu... But it's July in eastern Washington I mean it's tomato season. Just sad. All the greens were bagged mixed greens. Which once again in eastern Washington is sad. The kale salad needs to sit for a bit so the dressing can macerate the greens. It was just ok. We ordered a few pizzas and the best looking one was the kids pepperoni. I had like the Donna fav. I think the cheese they are using is not high quality and the crust needs to be thinner for this style of pizza. The service was ok. I'm so bummed writing this because I really want these people to succeed but there you go. read more

See all

Great quality food, and the service is okay. You definitely get a table pretty quickly but the servers do not come and check on you as much as you'd like. The crust of the pizza is good depending the type of crust you like and depending on which pizza you get. I got the margarita pizza (tomato sauce, basil, and pesto cheese) and it was good and the crust was thick. But my mom's crust was thin because of the amount of toppings she had. Debating on how much toppings you have the thinner the crust will be. Good options, and has gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian options. I like the food here and suggest it. read more

Wonderful service from the waiter and gal behind the counter, and the best salad I have ever had ( home made salad dressing and fresh mozarella chunks ),and the best mexican soup I have ever had, so fresh! and the deserts are amazing..We had the gluten free pizza and won't get it again..the crust had an odd flavor for GF and it stuck to the top of your mouth..you know that kind of GF pastry?, not good :( The toppings were so minimal it might as well been a GF cheese pizza. We ordered the mix mushroom pizza and for the size of the pizza being able to feed 2-3 people, there were 19 mushrooms on top and barely any cheese. It was so sparce we had to count the mushrooms. And it wasn't cheap..almost $15 dollar for that GF pizza with 19 mushrooms on it! So next time we will skip the pizza and just get soup and salad unless the waiter can assure us that toppings will be more generous next time. read more

We tried Cornerstone Pie on our first stay in Ellensburg and we would make this our go-to restaurant, because there are SO many delicious pies to try! We started with the Super Kale Salad, with a delicious lemony vinaigrette, dried cranberries, and garbanzos to spark up the curly kale. We had a personal-sized Donna's Fav; now we'd totally enhance our pizza at home with pesto drizzle. The Margherita was a lovely mild complement to the spicier Donna's Fav. These really creative topping combinations require a return trip (not to mention the appetizer fries and Cheesy Garlic Bread, which we did not get to try.) Very reasonably priced local wines, too! read more

Glad we stopped here on our way beck to Seattle from Spokane. Great pizza and friendly staff! Would definitely recommend it!! read more

Great place for pizza and dinner during the summer when the outdoor seating is comfortable. The bar is loud and the lighting in the main dining area flickers, which can be very distracting, so I tend to order out in the colder months. Big kudos for paper straws and environmentally friendly take out containers! read more

The food is interesting and different, although I would like some different pizza options to what they have on offer. The service has its ups and downs. One member of my group had his order delayed, and when it finally came out, it was incorrect. They did comp his food. Other visits have seen better service, but nothing that's been really impressive. Overall definitely worth trying, but not 5-star quality. read more

Here for late lunch. Service was prompt and friendly, good local beer selection and (I would say) average prices. Thin crisp crust on the "Monterey" that I ordered, and would give 5 stars except the pizza sauce was lacking flavor/spice and it was pretty oily. Otherwise a great location, good ambience and really friendly staff. read more

Stopped here last Sunday & had a great experience! Nice friendly atmosphere ,excellent service & the sausage fennel pizza was great! Lots of choices on the menu, Kale salad was excellent. Wish I lived closer. read more

Yummy! Great menu with lots of choices for all. Had the pepperoni pizza, which was great. Pizza crust is awesome, try it with honey! Terrific service, great atmosphere and decent prices. My date had the spinach salad, which was super tasty as well. Clean place, not too loud and fairly family friendly Will be back!! read more

Great artisan pizza! Indoor and outdoor seating. Occasional live entertainment. Highly recommend.

Probably some of the best pizza I've had in a while. I grew up in Europe where I was able to go Italy and experience real pizza, and this place is pretty darn close. I love the fact that they cook this in a wood fired oven, it gives the pizza such a great taste and great crust. For dessert I had a slice of their cheesecake and that was amazing as well. It wasn't like classic American cheesecake, it had a different texture that wasn't as sticky or gluey feeling in the mouth like many other cheesecakes can be like. Overall an amazing place to eat at. read more

This is the best gourmet pizza place in town - hands down. Their pizza could compete against any of the gourmet pizza restaurants in Western Washington. Why did I wait so long to eat here? read more

A friend and I just had lunch there today and I was pleased overall. There are a few details that need attention but hopefully the owner can real these reviews and take note of the common complaints. We ordered the Capres Salad and the Margerita Pizza with the GLUTEN FREE dough. The salad was fresh and the dressing was yummy! The pizza was very good for a gluten free version. The sauce was a little salty but overall very good. Very nice to have this addition to our town, I hope the details mentioned in the previous reviews will be addressed because they are so important! Industrial can be achieved with comfortable seating. read more

My boyfriend and I have been twice and the food was FANTASTIC! We have tried the steak pizza, the Firehouse pizza AND my personal favorite the Margarita pizza. We have found our experience to be amazing and for a small town business this is a must! It is HANDS DOWN my favorite place in town to go eat. This place trumps any pizza place in town and is WAY healthier and satisfactory than ordering the cheap pizzas at the fast food places in town. INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED!! read more

Truly excellent pizza and service. Highly recommended. We stopped in on the strength of the recommendations and had a great, quick meal.

The food was average to low quality with high quality prices. Overcooked pizza with poor balance of toppings and flavor. Salad was bland. Sitting outside decreased the attention of the waiter to the point of going back in the building myself to ask for things such as more water and a spoon. It was too high of a cost for the low level food. I will be unlikely to return. read more

I love their pizza, and they have many unique and interesting flavors in addition to the classics. The pizzas are also much healthier then average; it tastes homemade. However, be prepared to wait a while for your food. Pizzas can feed 1.5 or 2 people and cost between $10 and $17, depending on the toppings. They also have "grinders" (sandwiches) and great desserts. read more

Came in around 7pm. Was told a 25 minute wait. Yet there were 6 empty tables for families. They were severely understaffed, but they took no effort to try to clear a table for at least 20 minutes, then we waited another 15 min for a waiter to even get us drinks or take our order. No apologies, the worst service I've experienced in a long time. So disappointing. No matter how good your food is or how cute tour restaurant is... it doesn't make up for extremely poor service!!! read more

Great food, great beer, and most of all great service! We had an excellent experience at cornerstone pie and look forward to going back soon! Best pizza in town! The idea of the crust and honey was a first for us and we absolutely love it. Appetizers are great as well, must try the bruschetta! read more

This joint fully deserves a 5/5. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, which goes a long, long way in and of itself. The beers on tap and available wines are fabulous and change seasonally (if not weekly for the beers). And, of course, there is something for everyone on the menu--which is a manageable size. Much of their ingredients are locally sourced and all are high-quality. The atmosphere is fantastic, whether you are belly up to the bar, sitting in the dining area, or sitting on the patio (on warmer days). I appreciate the fact that it is very clean. The wood-fired pizzas and grinders have a unique flavor, and they are more than happy to accommodate substitutions and unique creations if you want something not on the menu. They have come a long way since they first opened and continue to strive for putting out better products. Cornerstone is one of my favorite hangouts in town! read more

The pizza here is awesome if your looking for something more than just pepperoni. Their pizzas are specialties with different and unique flavors. As a side we ordered fries and they came out as these potato wedges halfway cooked. The service was alright, but I felt that because of what age we look our table was neglected, and it wasn't the first time. read more

Great place! Fabulous food, great beers & wine. Our server, Sam, was personable & fun, knowledgable and very accommodating. Very best!!!

Excellent pizza, lavender lemonade is lovely, atmosphere is cool. We love this place.

The food and waitresses service are extremely great! They even let us sit outside with our dog and brought her, her own bowl of water. However, even though we didn't mind the wait, we waited about an hour for our food to come out at a not very busy restaurant time. Still absolutely wonderful food and will return! read more

I wish I could give more stars. It was my first time there as a friend and his band were playing there last night. All my other friends forgot our date and I went myself. The Hostess was so very nice as you came in and seated you. My server was the sweetest young woman that was there. She knew her menu and helped me with what I wanted to eat. I always as the server at a new place what they like on the menu and they will steer you to the best items on the menu. I ended up with the Thai pizza and I was pleasantly surprised with this pizza. I loved it and had the lavender lemonade. I don't drink alcohol and the Lavender Lemonade was beautiful. My server had recommended it as I do not like Pepsi products. I will be making this restaurant one of my most favorite. I just wish Wings Central had these people there along with the Chef I love this place and Brooklyn Pizza so 2 out of 3 is not bad. Keep up having the great staff at this restaurant and I will remain a loyal customer. Staff is the key to having a good or bad place. Thank you for the great night as I was by myself and my server made me feel like part of the family. read more

Great pizza, my friends and I each ordered a different personal pizza and shared. It was all fantastic! Service was great as well. Would definitely go again! read more

Not the best pizza I've ever had, but the best in town for sure! The fries were overcooked soggy potato balls. Definitely don't order the fries. Pizza is good though. read more

The best pizza in Kittitas county! Amazing crust. Great service, beer and food selection and fun atmosphere.
