We're regular tourists at Ogunquit and we've been to this restaurant before. We enjoyed the pizza and such and always thought the service was meh. This time around, instead of sitting in, we wanted to order out. We walked in during lunch time with our 3 and 6 yr old. We were told to put in our order at the bar. We asked for a menu and started looking at it. The kids were tired from walking so I lifted them onto the bar stool to sit. We were told a minute later that they need to be 21 to sit at the bar (which we totally understand). They didn't offer a different spot for us to wait so I felt a bit unwelcomed. I walked the kids outside and stood while my husband placed the order. I end up having to take a kid to the bathroom and we found no soap to wash our hands. After all that, the food we got were just meh. What was a 4 start rating is now a 3 for us. I don't think this is a place for families or take outs. read more

By way of caveat we were late going in so when we asked the bartender if the kitchen was still open and he just said with attitude they only had slices .... OK we can give the tude a pass after a long day of customer service. We ordered two slices and a couple of cocktails. Bring your own straw for cocktails as they have adopted San Francisco policy -I'm all for saving the environment but what's wrong with paper straws? Only then to observe closing staff sweeping up the dining room - again not a problem.... it only became gross when the waitress in her genius began sweeping the table tops with the broom she was sweeping the floor with! Yuk! Other than that it was ok my husband says the craft beer selection was adequate. read more

The pizza is the perfect sweet sauce with perfect textured crust! however salads are delicious but overpriced for a small size. Would not be an issue (price) if the size was bigger. read more

Second time eating here and we were mildly disappointed. Ate here two years ago and the (plain - no toppings) pizza was the best my husband ever had. This time, not so much. I ordered mac n cheese app which was fine. Hubby ordered plain pizza (he didn't finish, it wasn't bad but also wasn't as good as he remembered) and I ordered the truffle mushroom arugula pizza. Looked great, smelled great, tasted surprisingly bland - almost like it had no toppings which it clearly did. Bummer. We each had drinks (one each) and walked around a little buzzed afterwards. So that was good. Our bill was over $70 which was ironic considering last night at Lobster Cove we both had a pint beer each and twin lobster dinners for $60. Oh well. read more

Awesome spot, amazing and huge beer selection!! Chicken and fig pizza won't disappoint you. Perfect summer vacation lunch and or dinner spot. Outdoor seating as good people watching locale read more

Cornerstone is true artisan brick oven pizza. You can't leave Ogunquit without eating/drinking there. Acorn squash pizza with goat cheese, prosciutto and roasted pecans. Need I say more? It's the best pizza I've ever had. The environment is totally awesome. It can be elegant but also chill. Their drink menu is always hot, new, fresh and unique. The mixologist there, no he is not a bartender, is incredibly smart and gifted. Even on a busy Saturday night, he took the time to design an individual drink for my mom, something she'd like based on her tastes. And she wasn't disappointed! Mike is truly gifted and very crafty. Kim, one of the waiters, was very friendly but not overdoing it. We FELL IN LOVE with the pizza. No matter what you order to eat or drink, you won't be disappointed. A must see. read more

Pizza is great the service is horrible. After waiting 45 minutes and no pizza we had to ask our waitress where our order was, she said that the computer malfunctioned and our order was never placed. She should have came to us and explained the problem and said sorry. She was rude and unprofessional. Contrast this with a similar situation two days earlier at "When Pigs Fly Pizza", just a few miles down Route 1 in York. Our pizza was late here also, the waitress came to our table twice to apologize and took the prize of the pizza of our bill. Barry H read more

The staff was very friendly! I split a Cheddar and Bacon pizza with my fiance, it was quite good, not my kind of pizza but it was the best she has had! I ordered their bartender's special, the gold and fluffy, and loved it! read more

The best pizza I have ever found in the greater Wells, Ogunquit, York area. Ten to twelve unique, "artisan" pizzas which are all stellar. The appetizers and other dishes lack inspiration (salads are not great) but the pizzas are top notch. Cornerstone also features an extremely impressive beer selection which is worth a night on its own right. Ideal location in OGT with outdoor seating on the corner of Route 1 and the road headed down to the beach. Great for big parties, small parties or whoever you bring. read more

Great place to eat. Great variety of different style pizzas some out of the ordinary. Good choice of beer. Highly recommended will definitely go again. read more

Great vibe and good service. Even better pizza. The only authentic pizza in town where they make own crust. Makes a HUGE difference. The waiter was new and made a few mistakes, but the fact he corrected them right away before we asked is why all in all this is a 5 star place. Oh yeah, and a great selection of beers. read more

Very busy place, I didn't think the staff was very friendly. They weren't rude just not overly friendly. They have a great beer selection. I enjoyed the Palace Salad and we had the sweet cherry pepper pizza was really good. read more

What else do you need to know other than killer artisan pizza, great appetizers, and a huge list of beers, wine, and drinks. I would eat pizza everyday, sometimes artisan pizza isn't always as good as it sounds but cornerstone artisan pizza was awesome my favorite was the BBQ pulled pork pizza. Well worth the trip in for lunch or dinner read more

We've been coming to Ogunquit at least once per year for a long time. We've been here in fall, spring, and summer, and we never pass up a chance to eat at Cornerstone. My wife and I are from New York, and very snobby about pizza. Our general belief is that NO pizza comes close to New York pizza, and most of it isn't even pizza. And although a slice from the corner pizzeria in any part of Brooklyn is still the be all end all of pizza, Cornerstone is among our favorite places to eat. Brick oven pizza is a special variant of pizza, and Cornerstone makes the best we've had anywhere. Not only is the crust perfect and proportions exactly right, but the ingredients and creative selections are truly fantastic. We love the environment. Inside you can watch all the action from the open kitchen and see your own pizza being made. Outside on the spacious terrace you can people watch and enjoy the beachside Maine environment. In addition to creative, excellent pizza, there is a superb list of craft beers on tap and a great selection of apps, salads, and other good choices. Everything we've ever ordered here has been great. On this visit, we chose to share a pretzel, salad, and an accord squash-maple pizza. Sounds crazy, but it was just fabulous. We will always look forward to Cornerstone when we are lucky enough to find us in this great town. read more

Too bad I can't actually rate the food at Cornerstone, as I was never given the opportunity to place an order. Last week, my mom and I stopped by on a weeknight and were seated immediately by the friendly hostess. That's the only positive remark I can make about this place. We waited at our table for almost 15 minutes and our server never appeared. Multiple parties who were seated after us received their drink orders in this timeframe. My mom politely asked a passing waitress if she could get our server for us. Still, no one appeared and so we left. We instead went to Cafe Preggo where the food and service were amazing!! read more

We had great pizza here and they have gluten free wrap and pizza options. Service was a little slow and we waited 20 minutes for someone to realize we were seated. Once we mentioned this to a server, we were taken care of right away and the rest of the service was pretty good. read more

My friends gluten free pizza came out burnt the first time. However, they gave us another one no problem. The fig and chicken pizza was to die for we also had a delicious appetizer. Great indoor and outdoor seating with a great staff! read more

Great Food. Amazing food. Terrible service. Our waiter messed up our order and told us the wrong price for the lobster pizza which was great. It was 10 dollars more than we were expecting. Our two adult meals were ready at different times. read more

The beer selection was fantastic. They have all sorts of craft beers and definitely "beer snob" heaven. Food was very good. They have an open woodfire kitchen that they cook all of the food on. Had the salmon and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pizzas looked incredible and I am trying one next time. Cute atmosphere and great service. read more

We had a nice meal here. The pizzas were superb. We had sausage and mushroom and cheery pepper and pepperoni. They were both super delicious. It was loud and busy on a Saturdday night but the waitress was sweet and kept us in the loop about when food would arrive. Very fun. read more

We were on vacation from New York and this was our first time to Maine. Decided to try the pizza out early in our vacation. One of the best dining decisions we made in Ogunquit. In fact we liked it so much we went back later that week. Excellent variety of gourmet pizzas and the beer selection is phenomenal. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was inviting. read more

The worst. We called to put our name in and got a one hour estimate on the wait. Walked over an hour later were told 15 min. Then were told 15-20 min again. Then were told 40 min and "we can't kick people out". Other People arguing about their wait time and sitting on the sidewalk frustrated. The food is ok not worth it. read more

Such yummy pizza!! We got two pies- the Korean beef one and another one that had goat cheese, sweet red peppers and pepperonis. We loved both! read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had and the gluten free crust was great, not the usual frozen cardboard stuff. I had the pizza with cherry peppers, goat cheese, caramelized onion and pepperoni and it was amazing. My family had the chicken fig pizza and the pepperoni pizza on the regular crust and they devoured them. Will definitely go back when we are in the area again! read more

For those expecting to get right in during busy season, you're gonna have to wait because the food and beer is great! Those that have complained about service, all complained during busy season and it's unreasonable to expect quick service anywhere in the beach towns during summer. We go to Maine every summer and the good places are always slammed. Awesome outdoor atmosphere, delish food and lots of great beers to try. Worth the wait! read more

We usually stop in here for lunch every year when we visit Ogunquit. Pizza is great, love the beer choices. I've also had sandwiches which are also great, except one experience where the waitress did not write down my order and naturally messed up the one ingredient (mayo) I asked to be left off the sandwich. By the time she came back for me to tell her, everyone was almost done. But she was gracious and took the meal off the bill. That being said, I live about an hour from this restaurant and would consider driving up for the day for a meal! read more

The pizza is out of this world! We went big and got one pizza for each person and got halves of each. I have to say the pizzas are huge and we had lots of left overs. The pulled pork coleslaw pizza was so different and the flavors together were savory. The buffalo chicken was another top as well as the basic smoked pepperoni. The wait and the service were average, but the pizza definitely GREAT! read more

Service is amazing ! Pizza is amazing ! Not one bad experience! Deff worth a try ! I'm glad I'm a local I can go whenever !

Do not go to this place. This past Saturday, we were in Ogunquit for a day trip from Boston, and I had a strong pizza craving. Yelp has such high reviews, and an employee from our lunch spot recommended this place, so I called ahead to ask if they had slices. The woman who answered the phone wasn't sure, but then said yes. We thought we'd grab a couple of slices to go for our drive home. You have to order at the bar, and the bartender was very rude and made me feel rushed. He seemed indignant that I was getting slices, and said there would be a 15 minute wait. When I returned to pick up, with my 7 month old daughter in the stroller, he was not any nicer or kinder. Handed me two boxes without a shadow of a smile, and when I asked for a bag or napkins, he replied, "we ran out." Clearly lying. Sigh. I had to negotiate the stroller with those boxes, not having a free hand, it was quite challenging. Now, for the pizza, my partner who is a New Yorker deemed it mediocre. He was too generous. Artisanal is a marketing ploy, there is nothing about this pizza that qualifies as such. It was over cooked, didn't have any sauce, and tasted burnt. This was for the cheese. My partner had the pepperoni. Oh and by the way, the slices cost $4 each. Avoid at all costs. read more

I love a restaurant that can put a spin on classic foods. Very interesting menu. We were impressed by the beer/wine selection, our waiter was friendly, helpful, and very grateful for our patronage. We were seated quickly (around 5) and food was prompt. Our waiter even gave us a heads up on how long pizza took to cook before we ordered. The reason I'm on the fence between three and four stars is because the food was just not executed as well as it could have been. I got the skirt steak which I'd say was okay. It came with asparagus, green beans, and carrots which were oven cooked I believe, and therefore relatively tough, and roasted potatoes. My boyfriend had the chicken parm, which he loved, and our friends got pizzas. The first was the bbq & red cabbage slaw pizza which we thought could have been made with a little more care, and a little more pulled pork. The sausage pizza was excellent and had plenty of sausage. I think this place has so much potential, a great location, really different but nice decor, and an attention grabbing menu. They just need to slow it down and take some more pride in their food, and really think about what they are producing. Still, I'm giving four stars, and I would recommend it to a friend. Test it out for yourself! read more

**This is an edit to my original review to address the "inaccuracies" provided by the owner, Mike C.** Oh Cornerstone, you have definitely disappointed me. When my family was in town to celebrate my sister's bridal shower, we thought it would be great to go to Cornerstone for dinner that night. My sister and I joined my dad and stepmom (who were intoxicated at the time) at a table outside, and we each ordered a glass of prosecco. The waitress checked our IDs, put the order in, and then came back to take our food order, during which time we ordered an appetizer and a pizza. About 15-20 mins later, the appetizer came out, but no prosecco. When we asked where our drinks were, the waitress responded "I decided I will not be serving you alcohol." We asked to speak to the manager, and he responded that Maine state law indicates that if a waitress does not feel comfortable serving an individual(s) alcohol, they are not required to. We responded that we understood, but that we would like to cancel our pizza order and go to another establishment, where we would be served. The manager refused to cancel our order, and when he delivered the pizza to our table, I told him we did not want it, and do not wish to be charged for something that 1) We asked to cancel, and 2) We did not consume. The manager responded by boxing up the pizza, slamming the pizza box on our table, and charging us for the full amount. To top it off, the manager then CALLED THE COPS because he did not think we were going to pay our bill. It was rather entertaining to see 4 cops show up to our table asking about paying the bill, when it had already been paid in full. Great use of our taxpayers dollars. The manager claims in his response that he called the cops because he was concerned about us "stealing" and not signing the bill. Well, when I disputed the charge with my credit card company, I immediately won the dispute. Again, it was not about the $17 pizza. It was the principal of the matter, in which the manager would not let us cancel our order, and when we said we don't want it, he boxed it up on our table to essentially force us to take it. Now, not being served alcohol was not the problem in this situation. The problem was how the waitress and manager handled it. It should have been clearly communicated to us BEFORE we put in our food order that we would not be served, because at that point we would not have even stayed. And the unprofessionalism and immaturity of the manager to slam a pizza box on our table after we told him we did not want it, well, that was the icing on the cake. I will also let it be known that we went to three different establishments after that incident, and had absolutely no problem being served, so I still am not quite sure what the issue was. But I do know that I will never be back to Cornerstone, because I have never, EVER, been treated that poorly in my life. In response to Mike C: 1. I didn't realize that my dad having a cut on his face would justify the service that my sister and I received. But thank you for confirming what we already thought - that you were judging us based on what he looked like. Also, why would the waitress check our IDs as soon as we sat down, if we didn't order drinks until after the order came out? The only reason you "calmly" boxed up the pizza was because you insisted on charging us for something that we tried to cancel and did not consume. 2. It's funny that when the police showed up they did not seem to find any issue with our table. It's even better that when I disputed the charge on my credit card, it was immediately resolved in my favor. Oh, but my apologies for typing "four" instead of "two" cops. Have I mentioned how well you respond to customers? Your people skills are impeccable. 3. If we didn't order any prosecco, why would the waitress check our IDs when we first sat down, and then later when we asked where our drinks were, respond "I decided not to serve you." If you had such mixed messages, wouldn't the waitress just explain that she didn't know we wished to order drinks? But nice try trying to spin the story to make it seem as if my sister and I were drunk and can't remember the chain of events. Again, if we were that drunk, why would three other establishments in OGT have no issue serving us after we left? Also, Yelp's review guidelines state that colorful language is fine, but there's no need for threats. Goes to show, again, how professional the owner of Cornerstone is, because he threatened to call the cops on me if I ever went back.... read more

Absolutely delicious. The macaroni and cheese appetizer was scrumptious with a tiny spice kick. We had the pepperoni pizza and it was the best pizza I've had in a long time. The crust was light, sauce was delicious and the mix of cheeses was phenomenal. read more

Well i went for lunch and thought the menu was very limited. very few options, and basically like almost no vegetarian options. I ordered the sweet salad and it was delicious! Very good! I also ordered a side of chips, expecting them to be home made however they were chips in a bag that i could get at the supermarket, very disappointed. Waiter was friendly, always giving me more water. But menu was very limited. read more

My boyfriend and I, went here because of the positive Yelp reviews, but we were very disappointed. The pretzel's, that others had liked, tasted more like a bagel. Our large pepperoni pizza was rather small and lacking in pepperoni's. We won't be back. read more

The service at the bar was deplorable, I had to Chase down a menu and flag the Bartender for service. This Is a pet peeve of mine when it's a chore for someone in the service industry to wait on me. Find a new job Bartender! read more

the best best best pizza in new england! always outstanding food, drinks, service and atmosphere. i have brought my entire family here at least 6 times and have sampled every pizza. my favorite is sweet chicken fig. read more

We took others' advice and tried an alternative to the seafood we'd already had that day. The acorn squash pizza was amazing! The baked hearth pretzel appetizer with beer cheese dip was also excellent. Will go back! read more

This place is awesome. The beer menu is fantastic - so many new beers to try, and our waitress was helpful when I asked for some recommendations. She brought my husband a sample of one to make sure he would like it before ordering a whole one. The place is small, so I'm guessing it fills up quickly on weekends, but we went at an odd in-between-lunch-and-dinner sort of time, so it was empty. We ordered a pizza for my family of 4 (2 of those people are under the age of 3) - and everyone devoured it - which is a feat in itself. We got half sausage/mushroom and half chicken and fig. The pizza is heavy on the cheese and the toppings are sufficient, but not overwhelming. I wish we found this place earlier on our trip, because we probably would have revisited it before departure! read more

Stopped in during rainstorm tired and hungry. Pleasantly surprised by quality of food and beer. Mac N Cheese appetizer was fantastic. Ordered sausage and mushroom which had scallions - flavors were amazing. Able to sample some beer before deciding which was very helpful. Waitress was exceptional. read more

we are borderline vegans.......no dairy....waiter (Regan) walked us though the menu with ease and knowledge...we had a zesty gazpacho....phenomenal artichoke and cucumber salad....and then a baby kale salad......really really great stuff...outside on the patio watching the tourists go by.....$32 including tip (no drinks) and the portions were really ample..we barely finished....bravo! read more
