A long time ago this place was two small run-down adjoined buildings. As a kid, I remember thinking, this place is sketchy. Not now. I'm glad they stuck to their roots (original pizzas). I go every time I'm in the area! read more

Decided to give it a go after a year of being in town. Wife and I ordered a half cheese half pep and it looked good but the sauce tasted burnt the dough was dry and lacked any seasoning or oil. Real bread like. The pepperonis were nice and the cheese was average. For the cost of a large flavor wise and value wise Lil C across the street or the Hut would be a better option. Love supporting local but gonna have to pass on this place in the future. read more

The pizza is so fresh and has been a staple of Longview for such a long time. It is people go to Pizza joint in Longview.

We ordered 8 pizza for super bowl party a week in advance. We arrive at pizza king 49 minutes after a 45 min drive. They lost our order! Missed the first part of the game! NEw owners need to get it together read more

I really like the diner like atmosphere for a pizza place. Unfortunately, the pizza quality was a little under par. Good thing I was hungry.

Best pizza you will ever eat!!! Loaded with toppings. Perfectly crispy crust. I'm originally from Longview but now live in Austin. Every time I come to Longview, I come here!! It's that good. I personally love the hamburger pizza and chef salad with the amazing house ranch dressing. If I could buy that dressing by the gallon, I would. read more

Pizza King - Pizza Near Me - Longview, Texas

Pizza King is a tradition in my family. We LOVE it. The retro diner decor and friendly waitstaff lend to a good, relaxed atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. You can even order root beer in a frosty mug. Tonight we ordered one salad with mozzarella added and their addictive house ranch-like dressing, and it is always enough for us to split four ways. We each ordered which pizza we wanted because we like taking home the leftovers. It looks like we are feeding ten people, but at least we know what's for breakfast tomorrow. I had a large pepperoni, hamburger, mushroom, onion, and jalapeño. Really hit the spot! LOADED with fresh ingredients, perfect crust that's not too thin or too thick, great sauce, gooey cheese that stretches into a long string when you pull a piece out of the pan onto your plate.... It is homemade, not greasy, and it leaves me feeling a lot happier than eating at a chain. We have had awesome gourmet pizzas vacationing in NYC and in Hawaii (Canadian bacon, fresh pineapple, shaved fresh macadamian nuts), but we always come to the same conclusion: they are not Pizza King. Nothing replaces our Pizza King! We enjoy their take and bake pizzas occasionally, too. Good for putting in the freezer or baking right away in the comfort of your own home. read more

Pizza King - Large pepperoni, hamburger, mushroom, onion, and jalapeño. - Pizza Near Me - Longview, Texas

I only leave reviews when I'm really impressed or really disappointed. That being said, what I got from Pizza King this past Friday was by far the worst pizza I've ever had. EVER. I never considered myself that picky when it came to pizza, but I at least want it to be edible. This pizza was physically painful to eat: the crust was SO hard. I could've put sauce and cheese on the cardboard box and it would've tasted better. I hate to sound so cruel, but I'd been hearing about this place for over a year (since I moved to Longview) and was excited to try it. Makes me sad that the place I had high hopes for is blown out of the water by a brandless, frozen pizza from Kroger. I'm not mad, I just definitely won't try again. I'm thinking maybe the 2 pizzas I got were just cooked too long or something, but....damn. Just bad. read more

Well I'm not seeing how this place has 4 stars to be honest.. The pizza was was dry as a bone and hard as a bone as well. For being the pizza "king", I much rather get pizza at dominoes or Pizza Hut. The service wasn't the absolute best.. I saw a couple got up and left after not being helped with for over 30 min. I am giving the lady some credit due to the fact that she was pretty stacked and the restraunt only had what seemed to be 2 waitresses out to help people. She lagged behind on the refills and forgot one of my sides. The only thing this restraunt has going for it is the atmosphere/feel of the place. read more

This place is a dying breed: locally owned, freshly-made pizza, served to you in a pipping-hot pizza pan and eaten with paper plates and sodas from a fountain in Styrofoam cups. The atmosphere is super nostalgic: with all the fun memorabilia on the walls, it almost gives you a sense of when you were a kid and your parents would surprise you with dinner at Chuck E Cheese or something. That's sort of like what it is--but for an adult. The well-made, yummy pizza is the fun games & ride here, the main attraction. If you're sick of cardboard-tasting delivery pizza, this is the remedy. It's also insanely affordable, and you're pretty much guaranteed to bring home leftovers if you get anything bigger than a personal pizza size. read more

Pizza King - The King's Delight - Pizza Near Me - Longview, Texas

Oh my gosh. They are sooo good and the restaurant is too darling. I recommend this pizza for sure.

Found a hair in our pizza, pizza tasted like school pizza as well. Do not recommend. By far the worst pizza i have ever tasted should have just gotten pizza hut or a frozen pizza. read more

Well, 45 mins to an hour for MEDIOCRE service and food. Sat waiting for service for about 5 mins while all the other patrons were serviced. Waited ANOTHER 30 mins for pizza and now WAITING for server to check with us and give me a to go box. Pizza was OK. Most of the toppings looked as if they were put on AFTER the pizza was cooked. And not to mention I picked just about a whole can of olives off of the pizza. It seems like if you're NOT A REGULAR here, you're out of luck. I'm sitting here WATCHING the servers chit chat. NOW, they have no idea what I ordered. I guess the girl that serviced me left. And the more I think about it, SHAME on the waitress that was there and KNEW THAT THE GIRL THAT WAS HELPING ME LEFT. All the time acting as if she DID NOT WANT TO SERVE ME. Note to self....WILL NOT RETURN. Note to restaurant...WORK ON BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

The last couple of times we had togo salads, they were full of wilted rotten lettuce. Can't y'all make a fresh salad, or buy lettuce that isn't rotten? This one tonight tastes like it was made, last week. It also had wilted rotten lettuce. What gives?? read more

"COVID-19 Updates - Contact the business for more information about recent service changes." This is the first line when you open Pizza King's Yelp Review Site. Let me tell you what they mean by this... 1. Our employees aren't required to wear masks or gloves. 2. Our customers aren't required to wear masks. 3. 15% price hike across the board during a pandemic - clear community betrayal. The update is that not only is the risk of infection higher than everyone else but so are the prices. read more

I would give this place 5 stars promptly if they could get their act together. The pizza is really delicious. Very very good. But, every time I have ordered... they have been consistently 30 mins LATER than they said. I'm talking 5 or 6 times in a row. We keep coming back bc it's good food, arguably the best pizza within driving distance. Today, the wait was bad. Estimated wait time was 30 min. We were there around 50 min later. It took 75 mins (yes, seriously one hour 15 min) to get 3 pizzas. This place could be fantastic, but needs a little bump in professionalism. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Waited for over 20 minutes for pizza that was sitting on ledge getting cold. Not even warm when we got home. Super disorganized staff standing around. Will NOT be going back. Too bad recent changes ruined an institution. read more

Love me some pizza king. It would have been nice to know they were Closed New Year's Eve read more

Very long wait for one pizza. Crust is hard and dry, like frozen pizza and the beef wasn't cooked through. Will not be returning.

this place was disgusting and I mean there cleanliness or lack there of. We ate there tonight we got two large pizzas, meatball sub and a small side salad. Pizza is made with a cracker type pizza crust. Salad was good had the house dressing ranch with added garlic. Meatball sub was decent. Waitress was nice, service was kinda slow read more

This pizza really is king!! There's a reason this family-owned eatery has been the #1 pizza place for 40 years (or more), even though a dozen other pizza places have popped up. I've had pizza in more countries than I can remember, but nothing compares to this one. And, it's always packed, so order ahead if you're in a hurry. This place piles it on HIGH. I don't know how they keep these ridiculously low prices. As long as there is a Pizza King, this pizza will be king in Longview. read more

Cannot beat a Pizza King Pizza! Always hot with a crunchy crust. Old soda shop style - retro dining room. Great for family or friend get togethers. Love that spicy pepperoni that you cannot find anywhere else around here. read more

This has been a favorite of mine for 20+ years. I am a Pizza connoisseur, have lived/traveled in multiple states and still rank this one of the best pizza's I've eaten. Most people in East Texas already know about this place and would say the same. If you're passing through you should try it out! read more

Pizza King - Pizza Near Me - Longview, Texas

Everytime we come back home to visit, this is always on our must go list. Best pizza around! Pepperoni is awesome. My favorite is hamburger, onion, jalapeno. Sub sandwiches are amazing too. read more

I had heard for many years how great Pizza King is. Finding myself in Longview, I decided to give it a try. The prices are very good, and my waiter was great. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, sausage and jalapeno pizza. It looked awesome. The crust was crispy, just how I like it. But I kept getting a taste of bacon, which I didn't ask for. I'm just not a fan of bacon on my pizza. I don't know if they use bacon or bacon grease in their pizza sauce, or if they put bacon on my pizza, or if the pepperoni or sausage has a bacon taste. But I didn't like it. Also, it occurred to me that the overall taste was fairly bland. I would definitely give it another try. I just wouldn't drive to Longview from Tyler just for Pizza King. Hey, Tyler has Bruno's. No real need to go anywhere else. Pizza King is very popular, and I can't knock them for that. They were quite busy on the Friday evening I was there. While there wasn't even one car in the Pizza Hut lot right down the street. The place did remind me of old school pizza parlors, which sadly we don't have enough of any more. And while I didn't have my usual beer with my pizza, I noticed that a mug of beer is only $2.50. That is awesome. While so many restaurants charge 5 or 6 bucks for a bottle or mug of beer, the fine folks at Pizza King are keeping it real. read more

Very mediocre, bland pizza.... There didn't seem to be any spices or herbs whatsoever, not even a hint of garlic or oregano. Our waitress was very pleasant, but when we got to the cash register and the young lady asked how it was, we told her that it seemed very bland, and didn't have much flavor. She acted like she couldn't care less, and made no comment whatsoever, not even "I'll pass it on to the manager". We won't be back. read more

You can call ahead and dine in so your pizza is ready when you get there. 1950's theme you'll think you walked into mels drive in without your car. Not many of these places left, prices take you back in time , very reasonable and the food was good. read more

We ordered two pizzas last night. One was completely burnt & the other partial burnt. I took one back in & showed them it was burnt, & the cook was making ugly faces about me complaining. So, they only gave me $ back for one of them. We got home & tasted the partial burnt one, & it tasted horrible!! Plus, the salad I ordered was totally brown. I don't understand what has happened to our Pizza King. We usually eat there once a week. Now because of the quality & the attitude we will not be going back for a long time!!! It makes me sad!! We spent $30 & all of it went in the trash!!! read more

Best pizza in Longview!! The house dressing is amazing!!! I can't wait until the new take-out location on 4th street is open. I love their take & bake pizzas! read more

I have to admit that most of my family loves Pizza King, but personally I prefer cheap, frozen pizza. Sorry I'm not a fan of their pizza, or their staff (slow, not friendly). I go because some of my family likes it and I love my family. If you want to read a good review of the place, read theirs. The pizza crust really shouldn't be called pizza crust, it should be called cracker crust, they then add a little sauce and pile of enough other things to try to hide the crust... if doesn't work. Piling the pizza an inch thick with toppings does NOT a pizza make. I don't order the pizza, I order the sandwich which is ok, except for a slight weird taste that I've never been able to pin-point. I have ordered their spinach lasagna, nothing fancy but eatable. I'm sorry for the bad review, but I really don't like their food or service. That being said, I love looking around the place, and enjoy my family's company(who for the most part love the food, sorry they don't like the wait staff either.) Try it you might be one of the ones that love the food, if not then enjoy looking around at the old toys and things, and enjoy your family's company. read more

I've been dining at Pizza King since I was a little kid. I still remember the old building... There's just something about the pizza (the sauce, the toppings, the crust), that makes it superior to most any I've ever had. Anytime I come back to visit family, I call and I've got a pizza waiting on me for when I pull into town. Sad? Maybe. But the pizza is delicious. The salads are also very tasty, always have fresh ingredients. The best dressing is their house, it's a garlic ranch and is divine. I've never had their sub sandwiches or spaghetti, in the 25+ years I've been eating here...but I've heard they are delicious. It's a great family owned, local pizza joint. If you are in Longview, or planning to travel through...then do yourself a favor and stop in for a pie. You won't regret it. read more

Loved this place for years. New owners have changed the recipe in small ways and it isn't as good as it used be.

I've lived in Longview nearly my entire life and have yet to understand why people here love Pizza King so much. It's bland, boring, greasy toppings dumped onto a sheet of cardboard and passed off as pizza. It seems to me that it is the Pizza place for very passionate "good ole' boys" who don't care much about what they eat, but very much care about tradition. If you do care about tradition over quality of food you will love Pizza King. It has clearly been in Longview, unchanged for better or worse, for decades. read more

As always, Pizza King is the way to go for pizza with great crust, addicting flavor, and delicious sauce. The house dipping sauce is a must have addition. Service is quick even on a busy night and the waitresses are friendly. The thin flaky crust keeps you coming back. Keep up the good work Pizza King! read more

Pizza King is locally owned & operated by an awesome family. Their food is top notch, consistent, & they have so many options. Their newest addition, their cauliflower pizza crust, is my favorite yet. They also offer gluten-free crust & crustless pizza bowls. I highly recommend this restaurant read more

The coldest draft beer in Longview. That alone is enough to get 5 stars. The place is clean although not on the best side of town. There is no other pizza joint in Longview, all of East Texas, NW LA, that comes to this pizza standard. I cut the anchovies but loaded the pie. If they had an appetizer menu while you wait, now THAT would make it damn near perfect. Top Shelf. The service is pretty decent. ... Have a beer (or three) while you wait. Cheers! read more

Best pizza in Northeast Texas. It's been a favorite of mine since I was at LHS 40 years ago.

Pizza is fair .... oven baked (low sulfur coal should be used) - AP or bread flour dough for crust (Double OO flour should be used) - quality of toppings fair at best ( bought pre cooked, not prepared on site ). Would be great if a real pizza joint would open up in the area. Once you have real pizza - you can certainly taste the difference. read more

I've been a faithful patron of Pizza King for over 30 years. I knew that it got new owners a while back but for the most part things were pretty much unchanged, until now. The pizza I got tonight was NOTHING like the pizza I thought I would get. The crust was different and so were the toppings. This was a Pizza King pizza in name only!!! I've had frozen pizzas at my house that were better than this!!! It breaks my heart but I will NEVER darken the doorway of PK again. For decades PK has been a place we gathered as friends and/or family to celebrate an occasion or just meet up, but sadly that's no longer an option. This is a sad, sad day for the Longview community read more

Delicious and Unique locally owned! Love the grilled chicken with Japapenos! They also have take and bake, but it's always best when you eat at the restaurant read more
