I like Pizza King, but it seems the brand has lost some of the quality over the years. Some locations are able to make tasty pizzas, while others are just average. I don't know why, but the Pizza King pizzas taste better in Muncie, Indiana. Regardless, Pizza King is expensive. Other pizza brands make great pizzas at half the cost and we tend to use those brands more now than Pizza King. I just wish I had more complements to say about this Pizza King. Maybe someday, but it takes change and commitment. read more

Very good, small squares almost did me in with my wife and bro, but.. it was filling. I got sausage and it was packed with sausage and cheese. Very good and highly recommend. read more

Toppings were covering the base, still hot when we got it, staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. Pizza King has always been my favorite!!

Pizza taste like that pizza you just heat up in the oven and the breadstick taste like onion.... like what? Saddest pizza ever. read more

Pizza King - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I grew up in Muncie where Pizza King was founded. On a weekend trip last week I stopped at the Pizza King in Carmel IN ands got a 16" royal feast. Well is was horrible. While the toppings look the let me tell. Not the same sauce and not thew same flavor of different crust. Very disappointed let alone the $32 spent for the pie. I will never ever try a Pizza King outside of Muncie even though they told me this was a Muncie Pizza King. Well You are noy in the same league. read more

It is what it is. And what it is is a thin pizza with no crust edges, cut into squares. You either like this type of pizza or you don't. I happen to not particularly enjoy Pizza King pizza, but I wanted to give it a shot because a) I heard that each Pizza King is independently owned and a little bit different, and b) I was looking for a dinner that was somewhat chess-themed. You see, I was doing a chess-themed movie night for my children, wherein we'd watch the 1993 film "Searching for Bobby Fischer" while eating Pizza King (king chess piece -- get it?) and eating Pepperidge Farm Chessmen butter cookies for dessert. I'm so clever, aren't I? It was either Pizza King or Burger King or Dairy Queen for dinner, and because I had never visited this Pizza King in Carmel, I settled on Pizza King. This Pizza King also has tacos on their menu. How could I not order a dang taco at a pizza joint if they offer one? So I ordered three hard tacos, and they were exactly what you'd think hard-shell tacos would taste like from a Pizza King. The tacos came with ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream. The shells were a little weirdly chewy. Sometimes, you do things for the lulz, and this was the case with the tacos, which were a fun experiment, but I don't think I'd order tacos from a pizza place ever again. It was easy to order over the phone, and our order was ready relatively quickly. read more

HOT Strombolis anyone? Late Night Date? Better Buy Two. (If your kids aren't home? Hide the Evidence. ) Skip the breadstix- no garlic, no butter, no salt, very chewy. Tons of other apps & sides though! Like that salad- old reliable. read more

Service gets a 0. I called to place an order for delivery, and they tried to tell me I'm out of their delivery zone, when I tell them I fall directly in their map on the website, they back tracked and said oh ya we can deliver. Then they tried to play the "sorry we can't hear you". Everytime I tried to speak. I had full bars of service, and in a quiet room. I've never had issues with my phone, so I thought maybe it was me. I called back & they didn't answer. I called my husband to check my cell connection, and he could hear me crystal clear. No issues. Sounds like Pizza King workers were being lazy and didn't want to do their jobs. If they were short staffed, and couldn't deliver, then I would have understood and been happy to pick up. But the fact that they pull this shit is unacceptable. Instead I called again, no answer. I call on a different phone number and they answer right away..I honestly can't believe how unprofessional these guys were. If you don't want to deliver and make pizzas, maybe don't work at a pizza place. Hopefully the manager/ owner of this location can correct these behaviors. Unfortunately I will not be going to this location moving forward. read more

Guy at counter (possibly owner/manager) shouldn't be in a guest interacting roll. Sorry you're mad. Great pizza won't be back though. It's a Friday night and seems mad it's busy.... read more

We order from them at least twice a month. Always consistent and delicious. Great service and product . Their whole menu is good .

Excellent food!! Been coming here for a couple years now and never had a bad meal yet. Service is excellent always super nice when I come in to pick up my food. Place is always very clean and not too bad of place to eat a quick meal. read more

I'd forgotten just how good this pizza was from my days in grad school up in Muncie (Ball State). I don't know why other pizza shops don't finely grind their sausage and pepperoni to provide edge to edge coverage like Pizza King does. This may become our go to pizza carry out shop going forward. read more

Pizza King - 14" pizza with half Veggie Feast - half Royal Feast - Pizza Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

the pizza was not up to usual quality. I've been a customer since the 70's. the crust was dry as was the sausage and pepperoni

I love this pizza- the sauce, the cheese mix, the crumbled sausage. They are always so polite and friendly---- and quick

Each Pizza King franchise seems to make their pizza slightly different. The Carmel location makes a very good Pizza King pizza. My favorite is the sausage. I like the teeny tiny bits of crispy sausage that they cover it with. The man working the counter was super nice and appreciative when we picked up our carry-out order. Only slightly negative thing that stood out was the price. I wasn't paying but 2 pizzas for $50+ seemed steep. Check this location out and support your local pizza king! read more

Pizza King - Pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese and half mushrooms. Mmmmm. - Pizza Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Let me start by saying I love Pizza King. This Pizza King is very good, but I would recommend copying the Tipton Pizza King's breadstick recipe. Alright, enough pleasantries. The Carmel Pizza King let me down last Friday. I was criminally hungover and needed a Pepperoni Feast to get me right with God. I began calling at 12 PM and didn't stop until 3:30 PM. I finally had to order Jimmy Johns. Talk about a huge disappointment. Pizza King, I love you, but you let me down when I needed you most. read more

Every pizza king brings their own personal flare to their recipes. For me, pizza king has a special place in my heart. My hometown king pizza was always a must when I went home. Since we live in a new city, we figured we had to try our local Pizza King. We placed a takeout order for the 10" Royal feast, 8" mixed sauce cheese, and an order of breadsticks with nacho cheese. We ordered on a Friday night and they said it would be about 30 minutes for pickup. The breadsticks were doughy goodness on the inside and the nacho cheese reminded me of the nacho cheese you get at the ball park. The pizzas were good! The cheese was covered in a thick layer of cheese and the mixed sauce was delicious! We'll definitely add this pizza king into our pizza line up. read more

Pizza is SENSATIONAL! Excellent customer service up hand and their polite. I'd recommend attending because their also fast-paced.

So disappointed with the service at this location. We have went several times and have not been treated well. We have continued to give them a chance and order again. Tonight Jeff (owner) was more than disrespectful. I've never been spoke to so rude and ugly by any business. After ordering I called back to let them know I had ordered at the wrong location. I was told to come pick up the pizza or will never get a pizza from them again. Granted my mistake I went and still picked it up. However the attitude, rude behavior, and voicemails I received were totally unwarranted. The owner can have his wish, and we won't be returning. Too many pizza places in town to deal with terrible customer service. Unacceptable. read more

We drive over 30 minutes to get to this Pizza King as it reminds us of the one we grew up with on the East side of the state. They are friendly and even on busy weekend evenings can get your pizza ready for pickup within 30 minutes. Plus it is wonderful to eat cold and doesn't turn into cardboard like other brands do. We try to get a pizza from here at least once a month. Others just don't compare. read more

Indiana tradition. There's really nothing like it when it's hot and fresh out of the oven. My S.O. have had it twice over the last month, since the outbreak of COVID-19. Once delivered, once carry-out. Our go-to is a 16" with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom and extra sides of the cheese sauce. read more

Ugh not half as good as we remember! Of course we went to one near Kokomo last time we went?? We came to Indianapolis and wanted some pizza and of course I said we have to get Pizza King! Wasn't nearly as good. Kind of a spaghettio's pizza! read more

If you've never had Pizza King, it's a treat. Ask for your pizza well done and step into the crispy thin crust world! What makes Pizza King different, it's small toppings so you taste all the ingredients in every bite. Some say it's the best tasting pizza ever, it's one of my favorite and satisfies like no other. This Pizza King also does tacos and burritos. There good too! So I found myself ordering a XL Royal Feast and two tacos for the drive home. If I ever get convicted, and get the electric chair...this might be my last meal. read more

The pizza was fine. The breadsticks however were not pizza king thin breadsticks and tasted like ones you can get from dollar tree or Kroger. Will not be coming back to this location, I need a pizza king with the right breadsticks read more

I have been a Pizza King fan for years, even when I was in Nashville Tennessee, eating at Sir Pizza was a delight. I have a favorite pizza that I get at the Carmel location. I haven't seen it at any of the other Pizza Kings. The "Cowboy" pizza. Love it! Almost an inch thick delight! Prepare to be stuffed. read more

I file Pizza King under, "all pizza is good". That being said, it is not my first choice. Positives are that they load the toppings, breadsticks are better than average, and they have good ranch. Negatives are that there is little to no crust, the texture is a little soggy because of the amount of toppings, and it is just kind of a basic recipe. Overall, better than most chain pizza, but not in the top five pizza places nearby. read more

I have been a huge fan of Pizza King pizzas for decades. I had never tried this location. My thin crust sausage pizza was just ok. It had way too much corn meal on not only the bottom but dusted all over the top. The pizza had a slight sour taste and a slight bitter taste. Someone needs to reassess the quantity of the ingredients. read more

Over 1 1/2 hour for delivery, and the pizza was not good, and bread sticks were awful. We have been in AZ for five years and one of the things we missed from IN was Pizza King...I can't express how disappointed we were. read more

Great pizza & great service. Pizza King is definitely my favorite. I pass up a lot of pizza places to go here.

Best Pizza King in the state!

No frills. Not fancy. Just pizza and some appetizers. This pizza place has been around a long time without any fanfare. It was good. Went for lunch. Prepared quickly. Not crowded. Price was decent. Pizza was good. We would definitely return. read more

VerdicTL;DR: What is with Indiana and its love of badly implemented Chicago-style thin crust? This place is like Bazbeaux, with a similar style of pizza, and the same veritable cheese avalanche problem. Except there's less sauce, the sauce is very neutral in taste, and the cheese is provolone for some reason. Apparently this is a franchise out of Muncie IN and is well beloved there. If you grew up eating something, chances are you will have fond memories of it; those memories themselves become part of the way that you interact with food for the rest of your life. There's a little ramen-ya in Canton MI called Matsuchan that will always be my benchmark for ramen, even though by now there are objectively better choices (like Kizuki here in Carmel IN, for instance). It's clear from many reviews of Pizza King that there's a similar phenomenon happening here. So I ordered a large cheese pizza for our family dinner. Large pizza here is 16-inch, tavern-cut. The crust is not as soggy as Bazbeaux and not as crispy as Some Guys. The sauce is all the way to the edge and it tastes like pure crushed tomatoes with a ghostly hint of salt and oregano. The cheese is provolone and -- while not what I'd expect on a pizza -- isn't unpleasant. The problem is that there is way too much of it. This is cheese at OVER 9000 BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE Super Cheesian Level. That makes the slices thick, greasy to the point of freely dripping oil, and likely responsible for a good chunk of the cardiovascular disease in Muncie. So if you like that -- and clearly there's a market for this kind of pizza here -- then by all means order from Pizza King. The problems for me are as follows: (1) Some Guys does this concept better; (2) they are pretty expensive for what they are -- $20 for a large cheese pizza; (3) if you don't absolutely need a Chicago-style thin crust, there's superior pizza at Mellow Mushroom a few blocks away; and (4) ZOMG CHEESE APOCALYPSE. P.S.: Seitanic presence not detected. Disappointing. read more

I grew up near Muncie (Cowan) so Pizza King was a staple of my growing up years. Those of you from the area will certainly remember Clara's/The Mug on Madison Street in Muncie. I have no idea how many hours I spent and how many pizzas I ate there. But I digress. This often happens. Pizza King restaurants can vary widely in quality and taste, and not all of them taste like Muncie. (or whatever town you grew up in) This one, my friends, tastes like Muncie. The Royal Feast is spot. on. Every time, it's spot on. It's a small store, so sometimes they're swamped. There have been times there's been a bit of a wait to get our pizza, but it's never been terrible, and we understand that right at peak hours, a small store struggles to keep up. They do have a couple of tables there for those who might want to dine in, but most of their business is carry out or delivery. I'm a fan. read more

I love Pizza King pizza. So much so that I overlook the inconsistency of service that this one has. Sometimes you will call in an order and it will be ready right on time. Other times they won't even start your order until it is supposed to be done, so you're waiting for 20 minutes. I can overlook this kind of thing because the food is so good. But this week I had a terrible week and decided to grab some Pizza King as a guilty pleasure after work. So as normal, I called to place my order from the car so it would hopefully be ready when I got there. No answer. I called again, no answer. Waited 5 minutes, no answer. I was so close I just decided to go and see what the problem was. When I got there I was disappointed to see a sign posted "Closed - Oven problems". I get it, stuff happens. And I get it, Pizza King isn't the most technologically advanced place and isn't award winning cuisine. But I can't believe they couldn't at least have an answering machine or voice mail or something informing loyal customers of the issue. This tells me they just don't care about the inconvenience they caused their loyal customers. And honestly given some of the attitude I've dealt with there, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Too bad because the pizza is great when they actually make it. read more
