When in Maine, one must have lobster, right? So we weren't very close to the coast so I relied on my handy-dandy Yelp app to find somewhere local and Korner Store popped up. Some places close early so I called them and they were open and they had enough lobster available for a couple of rolls which was perfect! While we were waiting for our food, a good number of people dropped by to pick up to-go orders. Their pizza seemed to be very popular. The market price for a small (either 6 or 8 inches) lobster roll was a tad over $30. There was a good amount of lobster nestled in a soft, white bun. It was very tasty and filling. One thing I wasn't expecting however, is that it was a cold sandwich. Previously the lobster rolls that I've had were hot, on toasted bread. Oh well, it was still really good. read more

Great food and great service. We didn't end up getting our salad and they delivered it to our house so amazing food is always great. They're always so nice and wouldn't give them less than five stars for anything. Highly recommend the buffalo chicken calzone is to die for pizzas are great salads are amazing and the pastrami sandwich is always solid as well as the chicken Parmesan sandwich you really can't go wrong plus they have a great stock of local beers and other beer and drinks as well as chips Great place. read more

I have ordered from the korner store since I was a kid and have always been able to count on consistent quality and quantity throughout the years. Great pizza, sandwiches, and huge lobster rolls! The staff is always friendly and the store is clean. read more

I love the Korner store. It's my favorite place to get pizza. It's gone downhill over the last few years. I've been ordering pizza here once a week for twelve years and there's a significant shift in quality. It's a sentimental place for myself and a loved one, so I'll keep coming back. read more

Best damn foot long lobster rolls in New England!!! What a small gem if you're a lobster fan, fresh and delicious!!!

This place rocks. Killer food. The 3 pointer sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Highly recommend.

The lobster roll was outstanding. Made fresh and fast with a ton of lobster meat!!! Service was excellent as well.

Absolutely the best meatball sandwich anywhere!! Thank you!! I can't say enough good things

Korner store has been an amazing place for many decades. The quantity of cheese and toppings on their pizza is incredible. The quality of their ingredients is much better than most (all?) of their competition. In addition they have a ton of other sandwiches, calzones, etc. It is one of a kind. read more

Great food and reasonable prices Bread is fresh pizza is good and they are friendly special requests are no problem and they deliver read more

We're spending the weekend in the area to have a quiet, getaway and we were looking for somewhere to have a late lunch/early dinner. I saw lots of rave reviews about their lobster rolls so we decided to try out this place. Pros: *We got a steak bomb pizza which was so delicious! It tasted just like a steak and cheese sub but in pizza form *the crust on the pizza is not like "normal" (like NY style, Chicago style or Greek) pizza. Instead it's crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and has a very slight sweetness to it. I'm a big fan of NY style pizza and rarely like any other style. The crust from Korner Store was VERY good *The staff who gave us our order when we picked it up were very nice and accommodating *Our order contained some special requests (fries well done, no mushrooms on the pizza) and our order was 100% correct *They seem to be taking COVID very seriously. All staff were wearing masks and they had a drive thru option if you didn't want to get out of your car when picking up your order *We were quoted about 20 minutes for our food to be ready which was pretty accurate *Portion size was good Cons: *The fries seemed to be unimpressive frozen, crinkle cut fries. They tasted ok but were disappointing when there are so many other tasty options for fries available *The lobster roll was....kinda boring. It was all claw meat which I was fine with because I prefer it to tail meat but it didn't seem to have a ton of flavor. The roll isn't toasted and there was no seasoning. I feel like if you didn't live in New England and you had it you might be more impressed but if you live anywhere near the coast and have regular access to seafood this menu item will probably be a bit of a letdown. *The girl who took our order over the phone seemed to need more training. She answered the phone "hello?", not "hello, Korner Store, pickup or delivery?" (Or something similar). So at first we thought we called the wrong # and got a residence and not a business. Their menu said the lobster rolls are Market Price. When we asked the cost of the small vs. the large she said "it usually doesn't change from what it typically is". Which is great but we have never ordered from them so we don't know their typical price. There were also a couple of other mildly strange exchanges during the conversation (not rude, just kind of strange) that made us raise an eyebrow when we hung up. I get the feeling that they're just really busy and probably used to serving the same repeat customers but it's important to remember that maybe not everyone is a local who is familiar with their establishment Overall our takeout meal was a pretty good experience from Korner Store. I think it's interesting that they seem to be known mostly for their lobster roll when it's their other menu items that seem to be the real standouts. I wouldn't spend the money on their lobster roll or fries again but if our stay was longer I'm sure my fiancé and I would be trying a few other pizzas from their menu or maybe one of their sandwiches that looked unique and tasty. read more

Korner Store - a lobster sandwich on a piece of wax paper - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, Maine

I've been here twice and the pizza has been great. My family really loved the take and bake kits. Everyone is adapting to COVID and I like their drive up and walk up window options. Their late hours also cannot be beat. Thanks for providing for the community. read more

Delicious Italians and Dagwoods - the veggies are sooooo fresh! My mom has been going there for years, but with the onset of dementia she and my Dad are in a care home, so she hadn't been in a while. A lovely blonde lady who's worked there for 20 odd years suddenly recognized mom behind her mask and was so happy to see her, made my adorable mom's day. read more

I don't care for the lobster rolls here because 1. Mayo and lettuce and 2. Sub roll, not top-split. HOWEVER my entire mayo and lettuce-loving family LOVES these things. They've been visiting this place for decades, I've listened to my dad wax poetic over these lobster rolls with my aunts over the phone on Christmas, and when we make our yearly pilgrimage to Maine each summer to visit extended family, build fires, roast marshmallows, jump off docks, and tell stories, these lobster rolls are always there. The ceremony is a strange one, to be sure, and it has changed some over the past decade. Used to be, my Aunty (say "on-tea", not "ant-y") Di would drive from Unity, fetch as many rolls as her fridge could hold, then stash them there in anticipation of her siblings' arrivals. The rolls would then be offered, as though they were a super secret surprise, to everyone coming through the door. "Hey! Look what we have in here (grown man leads other grown man to fridge and throws open door with a flourish and a huge grin)...LOBSTER ROLLS!" Now, each member of the family will receive no fewer than half-dozen redundant texts and phone calls prior to the feast regarding # of rolls required and whose sacred duty it will be to obtain them. Whole? Half? Will we want to snack on one later? Are we planning to eat one for breakfast the following day? Do we remember how good they are? And also how BIG? The lobster rolls are HUGE, packed with lobster, and this store is the real deal. It's an unassuming family owned corner store, much like the ones that used to dot the country but have been largely forced out by chains. Avoid the tourist traps and don't you DARE get a lobster roll from McDonald's! read more

Man, I dream about these sandwiches when I'm not in Maine. And I don't think I've ever visited Maine and NOT eaten here. This is the place for Italian Sandwiches. YUMMM! The hubby also tried their Kennebec special - man, it just melted in your mouth. I'm hungry just thinking about it. Mmmmmmmm! The only downside - no place to sit and immediately enjoy. We usually end up driving to the park at the boat docking area and watch the birds while we eat. Then, we swing for a bit. Great way to stop and smell the roses, so to speak! :) read more

The past 3 times I've ordered, its been wrong or incorrect. This last time, i ordered a pizza w split toppings on eachalf. I complained, they said theyd make a new pizza. I looked at the new pizza apon arrival to find it too was incorret. The rude cashier told me it wasnt wrong. I then showed them the toppings, compared to my order and she became irate. I tried to slide the pizza back to her thru the window, and asked for a refund. She said no refund, then flipped my pizza at me, wich caused it to leave box and go all over me. I had to jave the police come, take a report, and get my refund. The absolute worst experience w customer care ive ever had. read more

My mother-in-law and I stumbled upon the Korner Store en route to a relative's house. We were hungry and in a rush, so we stopped in to grab some "Italian sandwiches" (aka: subs or hoagies, depending on the part of the country where you live). We were anticipating standard sandwich-shop fare -- lunchmeat, Iceberg-lettuce confetti and American cheese-food product on a roll -- but were delighted to receive two healthy-sized "small" sandwiches made with actual cheese and fresh veggies. We also ordered a large chef salad which incorporated some ready-made olives but was otherwise made of real lettuce and substantial meat and cheese. All in all, a super good value for the money. Korner Store also sells locally-grown organic veggies at the checkout - a nifty plus. The only bummers were the onion rings (breaded and frozen, yuck) and the wait time for our order. I suppose the latter can't be helped if humans are assembling fresh food, though. read more

The big dog pizza is great. I also love their calzones They have very quick delivery. I am glad that they finally chose to accept debit cards. I just wish they would get on board with an online ordering option since it is often very hard to get someone to answer the phone. Other than that I highly recommend them. read more

We just ordered takeout from the Korner Store. I had the lobster Caesar salad. It was delicious. Lots of lobster salad, croutons, and shaved cheese, with the romaine lettuce. My boyfriend had the lobster roll and it was huge and full of lobster. We have gotten food there before and it's always fresh and delicious. We highly recommend all of the food here. You can call to order and they have a drive thru window, where you pay and pick up your food. The large lobster roll was under $30.00 . Well worth the money. Go check out their food...you won't be disappointed. read more

Korner Store - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, Maine

The best pizza in Centeral Maine. Incredible fresh lobster rolls at a good price! Very good delivery area.

Really good food. Quick delivery and some of the best pizza in the area. Calzones are great as well.

Cockroach in my sandwich. THERE WAS LITERALLY A LIVE COCKROACH IN MY SANDWICH!. I'm a local, I've spent $100's of dollars this year alone. When I told the manager that this had happened (never once happened before, after dozens of great meals), she was so dismissive and rude I was shocked. Between the disgusting meal and horrible treatment I would think twice before eating there. Delivery time also takes forever. read more

I love that they deliver; I hate that you can't put a tip on your credit/debit card. Food is great, esp their calzones. The bacon pizza is amazing! read more

Love this place. From the greasy pizza (with the best bubbly crust), to the spicy hot wings, to the french fries, to the Italian and meatball subs, to the nacho salad--this place is phenomenal. I may be biased because I have lived down the road from it for the past 19 years, but this place really is great. AND. They deliver. Pretty much everything listed above is the best from their menu. I've heard their lobster rolls are good, but I'm not a fan of lobster so I haven't tried it. Also, it's just convenient. You can find almost anything there, so you can grab it on the way home or something if you need. There is no place to sit inside, though. That's probably the only downside, if you would even consider that a downside? read more

The food is hit or miss, definitely stick to the food that gets good reviews! Also, be warned, there is a steep $3.50 delivery charge that is NOT mentioned on their website or on their print menu. Not cool that the delivery charge is a surprise, folks. Not cool! read more

Apparently their chicken Italian sub is a chicken salad sub, warning. Super weird, not happy.. Their lobster roll is cheap but also tasted like it may have come from a frozen place. Their pizza was pretty good though. read more

I never got past the lobster rolls. First thing we ordered, only thing we ordered. They are amazing. The meat of several lobsters in each one, didn't even pay to make our own (which is what we usually do when we go to Maine. Lobstah dinner yeah!). I would get a lobster roll (roll? It's a hero, lobster hero), eat out the lobster, delicious bite by slow delicious bite. Then fill the bun with a farm stand tomato and have a lovely tomato lettuce and mayo hero to finish. I could do it every day. Oh wait, I did. (Well, almost.) read more

I have always found the Korner Store overrated. Greasy pizza with soggy crust, soggy, oil-saturated fried food. Disgusting.

Back in the day, Korner Store was hands down the best pizza in the area. Then things started to change. First, the dough:. They used to have really thick, bubbly, chewy dough. It was replaced by a much thinner crust. Pretty mediocre compared to the old dough. Then they replaced the mozzarella cheese with provolone. Which wouldn't have been a big deal. But they had the best mozzarella I have ever eaten. And all these years later I still haven't found anything that compares. It's been at least ten years since I went to there on any kind of regular basis. What did it for me was extra sauce started become hit or miss. If you are a sauce freak you will understand, that makes or breaks the pizza. There is nothing more disgusting than a dry pizza. And more often than not they would ignore my requests for extra sauce. No matter what I said or did I would end up with a sauceless pizza 9 times out of 10. And, no, I wasn't rude about it.. So eventually I just gave up. It's really not worth the hassle. I would rather go somewhere where I'm going to get what I ordered. And the last time I went there they had switched from real hamburg to that nasty fake shit that all the chain pizza places use. It was gross. The customer service is also hit or miss. I've worked at restaurants. I know what it's like. So I have a rule that I never order from any restaurant unless there is at least an hour before they close. That still wasn't good enough for these people. They still refused to make a pickup order for me at 10:50 when they closed at 12. I'm guessing the owner has no idea that they are so lazy they are turning down orders. And it was one pizza! My GF hates the place. I'm not saying I will never go there again. I will probably stop in and pick up a cheese pizza someday. Obviously hamburg is no longer an option. But I haven't been in 2 years. And I'm in no hurry to go back. If they closed tomorrow, I really wouldn't care. I have been buying pizza kits at Sonny's in Fairfield. They are so much better. We portion everything, freeze it and we can do a 12 inch pizza for around 6 or 7 dollars. Even better, we know it's going to be made exactly how we want it. read more

So here is the story with this place, it is a "to go" kind of deal. The pizza is amazing, the best in the area for sure, make sure you order "fresh dough". They also have incredible lobster rolls. From the outside it looks a bit dodgy but honestly the food is great, perfect place to grab some pizza on the way out. read more
