A classic slice shop whipping up traditional NY style pies and slices. A cool, cozy pizza atmosphere with 30+ variety of slices! Service wasn't great and I wish the employees were nicer. However, it's a place I'd definitely come back to for a slice and it's a place you won't be disappointed with! read more

The best pizza in Schenectady! They always have about 6-8 varieties of slices available at the counter. Hours could be better, but it's an afforded option if you're over down on Jay St. for an event this summer! read more

Never open on time - don't listen to their website OR signs in the windows!! Good pizza- poor service.

They are focusing to much on making the place look nicer so the quality has plummeted. Ill drive somewhere else or order for delivery before I go here now. The pizza just doesn't taste great lately. read more

Had the pizza with spinach with chicken. Greasy so greasy that I wind up running to the bathroom all day never again.

Just the best pizza in the Schenectady area!! I crave pizza and Italian food when I'm back home in the capital region. My family suggested trying pizza king that's by Jay Street. I ate pizza king like 2x within 2 weeks. It's the large pizza thats the perfect size for a small get together Mario kart party. WHAT I ORDERED 12 cut Large cheese pizza 12 cut sausage and mushrooms pizza Garlic knots - I wouldn't order it again, it wasn't very garlicky, more doughy The cheese pizza was my favorite. It was cheesy and simple, just the way I like it. You can taste the fresh tomato marinara on the pizza. I wish pizza king exists in CA, thinking about it had me drooling. Indoor Dining at pizza king is open. When I went in to pick up my to go pizza, there were people dinning in with their slices of pizzas. There are oven fresh specialty pizzas showcasing on their counter, you can order it by the slice. All of the flavors looks delicious. They even heat up the pizza slices for you. read more

Pizza King - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Pizza King is great. I normally don't love getting slices-- I often find them dry and spongy. But the slices I had here tasted just as fresh as if I'd ordered a whole pie. And the selection can't be beat. I'd say they had at least 15 different kinds of pizza to chose from, with more coming out of the oven. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

Pizza King - White Broccoli Ricotta and Fresh Garlic/ Shrimp Scampi Slices - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

the best pizza in upstate NY someone recommended it and we went there and it was the best pizza

Good food, reasonable prices, and efficient service make this a favorite pizza restaurant.

After seeing a matinee show at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, we walked down Jay Street and saw Pizza King at the corner of Jay and Franklin Streets. Having been there a few years ago, we were interested in four slices to take home. Where else can you get so many choices of pizza? At least 15 different pizzas with meat or cheese were available as slices today. Even though, the Pizza with Ziti fascinated me, I passed. Garlic Knots were available, and people I know love them. Not our taste -- too greasy. We got the Chicken Marsala and deep dish broccoli slices. Bravo -- Crisp bottom crusts. However, the Chicken slice crust was too thin for the heavy topping -- too much cheese and too little chicken in my opinion. The thicker broccoli pizza was better. But the amount of garlic powder on it overwhelmed the flavor. This review is based on the two varieties of pizza we sampled; consequently, three stars were given. I have heard that Pizza King is a popular downtown place because of the variety of pizzas available by slice. Service is quick and efficient. The dining area has many tables in a clean, uncrowded setting. read more

I just don't get it. This place is usually highly recommended but my experiences are very hit or miss. Last Saturday night at dinner time (6PM), I came here with a friend to get some pizza before an event at Proctors. When we walked in, there were 13 pizzas lined up in the case. Some were brand new, several were down to their last slice, and most were somewhere in between. Normally, this would be a great situation. Not that night! Out of the 13 pizzas, only two had red sauce. One was a meat lovers pizza, and the other was a single slice of their thick crust (perhaps a take on deep dish) meat lovers pizza. That's it. Oh, they had plenty of white pizza: garlic broccoli; white ziti alfredo; spinach; three cheese; a pizza with ricotta and slices of whole tomatoes; etc. Some were regular thin crust, many were that thick crust/deep dish I mentioned earlier. Some were down to their last slice, and others were brand new. Now, I will eat white pizza now and then, but to have 85% of your offerings during dinner time be white is stupid. I got a slice of the meat lovers and it was decent. Not great, not bad. However, either the cook really needs to rethink the variety of pizzas they are going to put out or else Schenectady has gone "all white" for pizza and I missed the memo. read more

Tough to find better pizza in the capital region. Yes it's expensive, but it's worth it! Especially when 9 out of 10 pizza places up here serve mediocre pizza. For buff chick aficionados - they have three different heat levels: mild, medium and hot - but for their pizza. I've yet to find another pizza spot where you can choose your heat level (for a slice of pizza) read more

The best pizza I have ever had in my entire existence. I will never get pizza anywhere else. Everyone who works there is so nice and great at what they do! read more

It's still good pizza, but with the king gone, it's no longer sing-it-from-the-mountaintops great pizza. Gone are the days of that magnificent crust, with its puffy edges and deep flavor. But I'm sure that's going to make some people happy, because these days the cheese and the sauce extend further out towards the circumference of the pie. The variety of pies available by the slice has also diminished, but I'm okay with that. The shop has kept the important ones. And the thing to remember is that Pizza King still makes a solid slice. The bottom is nicely burnished. The pizza is cooked on the oven floor without the use of a screen. Most importantly, it's full of flavor. That said, I can't say it's worth a drive from anywhere. Although if I'm in downtown Schenectady and looking for a slice with the kids, this is where you'll find me. read more

Food taste decent. Not bad but not the greatest. I was charged $26.78 for a 12cut half meat lovers, half chicken bacon ranch. Each pizza is listed as under $20. Figured with tax $21/22 max. Mind you this was for pickup. At least update menu prices. For that price You can find another s read more

great place to eat pizza love the trainRaymond Coverdale is the best employee . He is very dedicate, works overtime whenever needed

The absolute best pizza place in the world. Pizza King's name is true. They are the kings of pizza. You will feel like royalty if you eat here. The pizza is on a completely different level compared to other pizza places. read more

One of the best specialty pizza spots in the Capital Region. The variety here is awesome and each slice is flavorful and makes me want to do my happy pizza dance. I have to say though my absolute favorite has to be the cheesesteak slice . I have been getting it for years and have never been disappointed. Stop by and check it out. It's a great place for a quick, reasonable and delicious meal. read more

Pizza King - A slice of the Philly Cheesesteak, a slice of the jalapeño, and a slice of pepperoni and sausage. A trifecta for my tastebuds. - Pizza Near Me - Schenectady, New York

We were pretty pleasantly surprised by Pizza King. Judging purely from the appearance when we walked into the store, our expectations were low. And although the pizza was pretty good, the establishment was definitely lacking. It was really kind of eerily quiet. There was no TV or music playing for background noise, and it felt very awkward in the store because of it. Also of the 5 tables we walked past to eat at, only one of them was cleaned off (and they weren't very busy at all). There were flies buzzing around the establishment which I can't blame them too much for as it is summertime, but it just had a kind of "icky" vibe. That's unfortunately the best way I can put it. Despite all of that though, I give them props for their pizzq. The dough was like fresh baked bread and the crust held up pretty well with the weight of the toppings -which is hard to find! Overall experience was just okay. I'd give them another try, and cross my fingers they made some improvements to their store & practices. read more

Literally the best pizza I've ever had I go every time I go to New York I crave this place

This was our first stop on the Tour de Slice. It was also my last stop of the Tour de Slice because I went back to get another slice to take home. I LOVE this pizza. The under crust was cooked perfectly. It was nice and thin and so crispy!! The end crust was crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. The perfect "pizza bone". The combination of sauce and cheese complimented each other for a delicious tasting pizza. It was not a bit greasy! I returned later and ordered the eggplant lasagna pizza. Oh my!!! That is a slice worth trying!! Breaded eggplant and dollops of ricotta cheese in every delicious mouthful!! Pizza King won my vote! read more

Delicious pie! Cannolis too! Can't get that in California. Service was good and quick!

This place is a piece of trash. Looks like whoever answered the phone stated they couldn't let us know what slices were up as they were "too busy." Walked there in 10 degree weather to see nobody in line and not even a slice of cheese up. This place is trash and I will never be persuaded to try this dump again. read more

We've only ever ordered by the slice here, and then for emergency snacks for the kids when on Jay Street during odd hours. The plus here is they have 15 or 16 types of pizza ready for slices. It's New York style with an array of toppings, and it's all pretty standard. Drink options are limited to fountain plus some bottled stuff. They have a full range of sandwiches and pasta dishes, but I haven't had the stomach to try them, in part because, yes (see picture) the menu has been literally spattered with somebody's dinner both times we went in. Our visits were six months apart. Draw your own conclusions on the hygienic standards. read more

Pizza King is undeniably the best place to grab a slice of pizza in Schenectady, and maybe the entire capital region. The guys behind the counter are friendly and it's only $3.50 per slice for their gourmet pizza offerings. The entire pizza is flavorful no matter which pie you choose. The crust is not soggy or floppy, however it is not tough either. This is my number one go to for a slice of pizza in the capital region. I recommend the following slices as these are my most frequented choices: Marsala spinach/mushroom, philly cheese chicken or steak, and of course their Hawaiian. No matter your choice, you are sure to enjoy! On a hot day I recommend grabbing your slice to go since the oven makes the dining area pretty warm. read more

This was my 1st slice of the day and they had just opened. The slices were fresh, hot and they still reheated them for us. The crust was pillowy and there was a fair amount of sauce and cheese. The cheese pulled off due to the sauce but both were delicious. I also thought the quality of cheese was great and had great stretch. This was my fav place of the day and when I'm in Schenectady I'll def be back. I think it's love! read more

Absolutely crazy over the Chicago style deep dish spinach pie ! Such greatness! The spice is right on! Total freshness. This has been our pizza place since I moved to Rotterdam. I gotta give a total thumbs up to the way they've been handling the covid crisis. They took extra steps in providing safe transactions. They are beyond friendly. After talking to the guy at the counter I got fresh dough from him. Not only the dough but he packed extra flour for me. Very thoughtful gesture. And that's them! Give them a try and support local business ! They ya more then ever ! read more
