Very good pizza place even if the quality has gone down a little since the original Pizza King ran the show. My biggest complaint is that at lunch they seem to almost never have the staple pizza slices like pepperoni, pepperoni and sausage, etc but have an abundance of the more "exotic" ones featuring shrimp and other toppings you wouldn't typically see on a pizza. All that aside the actual slices are tasty for New York style jumbo pieces. read more

Pizza King - Sicilian cut cheese slices. - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

A little confused as to the best and king pizza? The guy behind the counter has no excitement about being here. Pizza is very average.... spinach and garlic should not be spicy. I asked to get something else and he said no. Under the cheese was chili flakes. A big no. So that's why I say what I say. Won't be back. Nope nope nope read more

THEY'RE NOT ONLY GREAT PIZZA MAKERS, THEY'RE GOOD HONEST PEOPLE. The regular slice was delicious and cheap!! BUT--- more importantly, when I left my bag and wallet with all of my ID's, money, and beats headphones, I was devastated. However, Pizza King called me, and wrote me a message on facebook saying that they had my bag, and would hold it for me until I could come get it. I don't live in Schenectady, so it took me a couple days to retrieve it, but they held onto it, and very kindly kept me updated so that I would not be worried. Nothing was missing, and everything was the way I had left it. Thank you Pizza King for being kind, friendly, honest, and patient. It was truly appreciated. read more

Had this pizza a few times in my life. Crust is very good on the pizza. One of the best crusts on pizza in capital region for sure. Their veggie pizza is meh meaning ok but their chicken Marcella pizza is delicious. Highly recommended for a chicken Marcella slice. Very good job pizza king. read more

Pizza King - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza , that had literally no bacon , a bunch of cheese and I asked for extra bacon and extra ranch and didn't get it . Ordered hot Buffalo wings for 13$ and they were small wing zings , not crispy and barely hot . Took a hour for the food to come and when I called the restaurant to let them know there wast chicken on the pizza he told me "we put it on there , if you send a picture you won't see it anyways " this place is a joke and literally was the last option for the day . Never again will I buy their food . Customer service was terrible and so was the food . read more

What happened? New cook, new recipes? You were my go to pizza but the slice! No more. The party is sadly over.

This is the second best pizza I've ever eaten in my life. No kidding, and I grew up in the suburbs of NJ so trust me.. I've sampled my share of pizza. Pizza king has large slices, gourmet ingredients, creative specialty pies, and a clean comfortable restaurant to sit in. My personal favorites include the cheesesteak pizza (with american cheese, peppers, onions, and beef) and the simple plain slice. Make sure you bring some cash, because they don't accept credit cards. The only thing wrong with this pizzaria is that they essentially run on bankers hours! Don't bother showing up in the late evening (after 8pm?) or on Sundays (closed). read more

Truly amazing! A bit on the pricy side but super accommodating. Went the other day and my 6 year old requested a pizza with only mushrooms even though they didn't have any slices out of only mushroom pizza they worked it out for my son and put some mushrooms on a slice of cheese pizza! read more

Expensive. Overrated. Mediocre. Cocky. None of the pizza options in Schenectady are very good so I guess this place is best of the worst. It's truly mediocre pizza. Call it gourmet all you want: that doesn't mean that it's great. Like the other places I've been to in Schenectady, the sauce is boring and doesn't stand out. The slices are pretty generous in size, but size alone doesn't mean it's any good. Worse, it's pricey and the woman working the register is the pizza shop version of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi. Listen lady, I know that you think you make the greatest pizza in the history of human civilization, but you don't. I can think of 1001 places that blow Pizza King away, so try to be a little more pleasant to the people burning money in your shop. If I'm craving pizza I'll just take the car ride to Homestyle. I work right near Pizza King but the 5-10 minute drive to Homestyle is a far more preferable option. My advice: you can do a lot better than Pizza King. read more

One of my all time favorite pizza places in Schenectady. Come here for the speciality slices, the chicken marsala, eggplant parm, shrimp scampi and the stuffed broccoli are some great options . Don't come here look for a cushy dining experience or overly friendly staff, it's quick, efficient.... it's pizza!!! read more

This place will try to charge you $4.00 a slice... not anywhere worth it. Sub par ingredients at best. Don't waste your time

Why is it that all the pizza joints in downtown Schenectady suck? Let's start with the most important aspect of a business. The staff. Arrogant, "I'm better than you", and filthy. The name? Pizza King? I didn't know it was name your business the opposite of what you are. Seriously, Pizza King? Let's try garbage king. Gourmet Pizza? So, you put some macaroni on some pizza with your shitty sauce and week old cheese and think it's gourmet? I won't even touch on the deco, because that's a joke too. Bottom line Pizza Fools, change your product and your attitude. read more

Pizza King delivers a great tasting pizza, even for this person who grew up eating slices of regular pizza (or as most people call it, cheese pizza). Pizza King offers a great variety of pizza choices, both in cheese and gourmet slices. For instance, they serve chicken alfredo, BBQ and seafood scampi as some of their gourmet pizza options. However, there's other factors in the mix that knock down Pizza King's ratings down to three stars. Pizza King is a little pricy for the Schenectady pizza market, plus they don't offer a pizza and soda special that most other pizza places offer. read more

In town for a few weeks and came upon here for lunch today. Great crust, great variety , A+ for the pizza. I had a slice of the Hawaiian with bacon, and was quite satisfied. The sauce was a touch sweeter than I prefer, but the pineapple may have tainted that. I enjoy a nice thin crust that doesn't get overly greasy and limp from grease, this came up great in that. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Pizza is Great! Well work going to.Every time I purchases slices I was totally satisfied! It is pretty close to N.Y. pizza

This is honestly one of my favorite pizza shops in Schenectady, I would go there over other places for sure. The gourmet slices they serve are amazing! I go here once a week. Highly recommend this place to other people. read more

Pizza king schenectady make it make sense....homeless man walks in with a few dollars, orders a slice, & you tell him no?? A young girl tells you she'll "pay add a slice to her order" (even though he has money) you said no, disrespected her & told him to leave!! No explanation given just yelling no for whatever reason. He wasn't disrespectful whatsoever, just hungry....Thankfully to the gentleman waiting for his order that when he got it, he gave his whole pizza to the man and drink.....funny how the guy who denied him service had nothing to say when the grown man did what he did. They are lucky my daughters were in there and not me because boy oh boy the nerve of this business to mistreat ANYONE!!! We will not be buying from them anymore.......I am also a business owner on Franklin St and yes there are a lot of homeless people that frequent downtown Schenectady surrounding city hall but I'll be damned you treat people like that....THIS COMMUNITY IS WHAT KEEPS MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS & THIS COMMUNITY CAN STOP THAT!! #SMH #TheNerveOfThisPizzaPlace #TakeCareOfOurPeople #IfWeDontWhoWill read more

I really like Pizza King. I'm a bit of an annoying order-er - I don't like to be helped until I want to be helped, I have a lot of questions, I like to triple check that people understand my order, etc. In short, I'm pretty hard to please, but Pizza King pleased, indeed!!! The employees are so helpful and accommodating and kind, and I really liked my pizza!! I ordered their Chicago-style pizza with tomato sauce, broccoli, and pineapple. It came out PIPING hot and delicious. I've never had Chicago Deep Dish before, so I'm not sure how it compares to traditional Chicago-style, but it was kind of Sicilian-ish. Regardless, it was very good, and I look forward to returning and trying their NY-style pizza! read more

Great hot pizza slice and friendly service

DTAY AWAY!! These people are pigs that wants to steal your money. On Tuesday 1/5 I called and ordered for pick up a mild Buffalo wing pizza from the menu. It was $20.99 and a chicken and broccoli Sicilian pizza. When I get to store the pizzas were ready and waiting. I approached the counter and informed them I was picking up. He began to type my total into the cash register. I noticed him entering $22.99 as one item total. I asked what was that for and he stated that the prices went up. I asked him to show me the change and he couldn't. He looked at his menus in-house and all we at the 20.99 price. Last year when I ordered it was $19.99 and I still had that menu so when I seen the new menus with the $20.99 I knew it was an updated menu. These crocks didn't want to here that. He was charging me for chicken Marsala pizza. I didn't order that. He was really trying his hardest to STEAL $2 from me. Now imagine if they do that to every customer that orders from them. These guys would make an extra paycheck and customers have no clue that these guys are taking money right out of their pockets. After I caught them trying to steal from me they turned red like oh shit I got caught. My original total before I said anything was about $41.50. After I questioned the charge my new total was around $46.50. Now they had to tack on charges for "extra toppings and credit card charge " It was late and I had hungry kids waiting for dinner or I would have told them to keep it. At the end of the day the wing pizza tasted terrible. Just a warning for anyone that orders from these crooks be careful. They will STEAL your money. read more

I ordered the Philly steak pizza and boneless honey bbq wings. The food is delicious. Will definitely order from them again. My only gripe, I asked for no mushrooms and there are mushrooms on the pizza. read more

The screaming flat soda machine did not make me feel too welcome, buts it's okay, because I saw a guy smoking a nice big cig

Absolutely the best pizza. I've been getting pizza from Pizza King and John since they had first come to Schenectady. Their baked ziti pizza is awesome, made with real garlic and perfectly al dente and not overcooked. Their garlic knots are delicious with marinara sauce and I always grab an order of them when I'm there. You definitely won't regret getting your pizza from here to eat~! Even the crust is good Lol John always said it was something in the water, he is missed. read more

The best pizza I've had in awhile they have a variety of pizzas to choose from and only use fresh ingredients I love how crispy the crust is and also the vegetables taste Amazing and the sauce is just right if your ever in the area and craving a Superb NYC slice this is the place and look no further. read more

Pizza King - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

First visit did not disappoint. There were so many options of flavors. The ingredients are fresh. I had the buffalo chicken pizza and it was awesome! Will definitely need to come back!! read more

This is the best pizza I've had. But now that I live in Virginia I can't get it so every time I go up for the summer it's my first stop

My Credit Card was stolen yesterday by a Mr David Hughes. He has admitted to stealing my card. I contacted Pizza King as a courtesy to let them know that a charge made at their establishement was disputed and would not be paid. I also advised the manager that the back of my card clearly states "See ID" and that was obviously not honored. My attempt to be courteous in advising them in advance resulted in a rude "call your bank" and then a hang up. Quite rude. I now personally, will never visit Pizza King or ever suggest them to anyone! read more

My dads pizza was the best pizza around even better than most NYC pizzas because he grew up in the Bronx! I miss his pizza so much after he passed away 6 months ago that's the only thing he wanted to leave to us was his recipes and his stories. He trained his cousins and workers and finally his "right hand man" Fahreed took it over and I have to say. Walking into it for the first time seeing all the pizza exactly how he made it has brought tears to my eyes. Long live the king!!! Miss u dad.. read more

Just had a slice of their Spinach Pie! Wonderful. I'll try take out next time. Quick service and reasonable prices. read more

Pizza King - Spinach pie! Loads of fresh spinach! - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I visited Schenectady for a conference at Union College and was so lucky to stumble across Pizza King. I cannot believe how good the crust and sauces were. I went back twice; the second time I had to stop myself from ordering a third slice. The sausage and sweet onion is amazing and the chicken toppings (3 kinds of buffalo and bbq) are all awesome. Wow. What a diamond in the rough. read more

Ordered through grub hub and this video shows the problem. And there were more that were pulled off to show the restraunt. read more

Friendly service, great selection of vegetarian slices, super affordable and excellent quality.

This is the best pizza in upstate NY, period. I moved up here from NJ in 1983 and it's taken me YEARS to find this place; I feel like I'm home when I walk in the place. :-) read more

Probably the best pizza you can find downtown. Specialty slices are great there, spinach pie is one of my favorites. Occasionally they'll have out a spicy calamari marinara pizza, don't pass it up! Convenient location is nice, walking distance from just about anywhere downtown. One drawback is that they've recently discontinued their delivery service... Bummer. read more

i have done it. i have discovered it. after eons and generations of searching for the answer grandfather through grandfather i have discovered it. the one king to rule them all. they out pizza the hut. read more

It appears a prior employee has taken over the business after the original owner's death. The pizza quality is the same (excellent), but the customer service is greatly improved. The interior decor has been updated as well. The counter staff is friendly and they now accept credit cards. One of the young women who works the register is particularly pleasant. Upgrading from 3 stars to 4. read more

Yummy, the service was friendly and efficient. The pizza is like NYC and the wings were scrumptious. It's not really a dining place but is great for take out. read more

Very unprofessional, poor customer service! I have ordered a pizza online and was already paid for my boyfriend went to pick it up and they was giving him a hard time and they wouldn't give him the order. I had to call them and confirm that was my order and tell them to give it to him they were refusing so I almost cursed them out and they finally gave him the order after confirmed. NEVERRR in my life I had to confirm or show proof to get a damn pizza.... Very bad experience, I will never order from them again. read more

Love the pizza. Everyone is always fast and nice. The prices are hard to beat for the amount of food you really get!
