Pizza King Schenectady has carved out a niche for itself as a beloved pizza destination in downtown Schenectady, NY.

Notably, the friendly staff adds to the inviting atmosphere, creating a warm dining experience that keeps patrons returning.

Excellent pizza made fresh to order. Crust is perfect; crispy on outside yet not overdone. Inside is fluffy. Good flavor, too. Pizza could have used a bit more sauce but I wasn't specific in ordering. Next time I'll know Price was excellent. Pie was made in 15 minutes and they were very busy. I would highly recommend

Their pizza is always good. I love getting the spinach deep dish pie pizza. I ate it all up and forgot to take a pic So I took a pic of how it looks before you order it.

I'm giving this place 5 stars because the pizza was so good. The hubby and I both liked our slices. I got a broccoli deep dish slice and he got a thin sausage and peppers slice. They had a nice variety of slices ready to go. There were two big negatives though. One, there was no air conditioning, which, in a place with pizza ovens firing, made it extremely uncomfortable to eat there. And two, no free refills on the fountain drinks.

A staple in the downtown Schenectady area. Food has always been great every time we order from them. Our order was never messed up, late, etc and we have ordered many times. Interior is for the most part clean and updated. Staff has always been friendly. Go get yourself some great pizza from one of the best in downtown Schenectady.

Pizza king . The king of New York City style pizza. Some really choice variations on the pies. Definitely the best for thin crust in the Schenectady area. Really enjoyed it, crust, sauce, toppings all on point.
