Veni Vidi Vici Corner Crust in Cornelius absolutely conquered our pizza night. If you're near Lake Norman, Corner Crust in Cornelius, NC is the real deal. This spot is putting out seriously great New York-style pizza and wings.We even caught the owner -- one serious pizza aficionado. He's actually a New Yorker (well, Long Island, but close enough), which explains a lot about the authentic pies coming out of the kitchen. We tried the Hawaiian pizza and it was incredible. The sweet juicy pineapple paired perfectly with salty ham, crispy bacon, and gooey cheese on their excellent crust. We added spicy large jalapeños on top, and they delivered a solid, fresh heat that elevated the whole pie -- the sweetness, smokiness from the bacon, and spices heat played off each other beautifully. Every bite was a flavor explosion. The wings were just as outstanding. Super crispy on the outside with that perfect clean snap when you bite in, releasing tender, juicy meat inside. Packed with flavor and cooked exactly right. Easily some of the best wings in the Lake Norman area, yeah I went there........The owner told me his secret recipe and technique, but I have been sworn to secrecy..... I can say that he buys his wings free range, no steroids and you can tell the difference in every bite. Coming in on the high side at $1.80is per wing, but I ask you this - how much would you pay for perfection? Local craft beer, yes please. You can use the Untapped App to check out his selection of the finest local craft beers on tap. Great portions, giant slices, laid-back vibe, and friendly service rounded out a fantastic meal. Whether you're going classic or adventurous with the Hawaiian (highly recommend adding bacon and jalapeños), Corner Crust delivers. We'll definitely be back soon!

Had their special as a slice: the hot Hawaiian ... huge thin crust slice with spicy sausage, ham, pineapple, and bacon ($8.99) and mozzarella sticks with marinara ($8.99). I enjoyed the quick "to go style" even though I was dining in. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick, and the food was fresh. I've also ordered from here via DoorDash and was shocked at the sizes for the price - in a great way. One slice is easily a two meal ordeal for me. I do wish there was an option for less zeppolis because 1 person does not need to eat 12. Of a combo of a slice and a side salad - they do have large salad options so it's easily possible. read more

sitting out of doors cooling off from the world record high temps in eastern cornelius enjoying a good mix on the overhead as the sun sets over the peach cobbler factory... came in on an outright bribe: online coupon for garlic knots with a (modest) qualifying purchase which I met with a pizza boat, baklava, and a beer... full pint of red ale in a glass glass demonstrates a high level of trust that I will neither steal nor break it which is pretty cool on them. knots are light and fluffy with enough oregano to balance the garlics; if only there was a way to stuff 'em with grated romano and pancetta without offending the puritans... it would be like pizza shooters. LoL young lady behind the boxes is tossing and stretching and piza-ing the dough by hand. the feta and spinach pizza boat looks kinda boaty when it comes out, so yeah, and with a crispy bottom for easy eating plus the high rolled gunwales keep the toppings from toppling overboard and make good handles for dipping and eating and stuff. inside is a little short on room with limited seating at a handful of tables; this might be an issue when the weather breaks but for today at least al fresco was fine. Kristian understands and appreciates Spartacus so feel free to do 'that' when you stop in. read more

Came at about 8pm on a Sunday night. Only people in the restaurant, but lots of walk ins for to gos. Staff was kind and patient, helped up choose and shared their favorites as well. Slices were warmed to perfection and SO good. We tried 3 slices: Cup and char Pepperoni, Meatball Parm, and the Spicy Italian (not spicy by the way, but GREAT flavor!) read more

The Corner Crust - Cup & Char Pepperoni Xtreme Meatball Parm Spicy Italian - Pizza Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Stopped in for a slice. The slices are very thin, and very large, (almost hard to eat by hand). There was a serious lack of sauce and flavor. The only flavor I did get was oddly rosemary, (which was off-putting for pizza IMO). Place feels very cramped inside. Crust and pizza itself lacked any flavor IMO. read more

I have been waiting for this place to open! The food was so good! The slices are bigger than my kid's head (for scale, he's 11). Everyone was pleasant and we got to meet one of the owners, Jay. He thanked us for coming. Very tasty. read more

Corner Crust's second location opened less than a week ago and my family was eager to try it. The location is fairly small with seating for about 10-15 inside and maybe 4 tables on the patio. Pizza sizes are 14, 16, and 28 inches while slices come from a 28 inch pie. Most speciality slices are around $7.49 and one slice will fill most people. Slices are ona touch thinner than a NY pie but after eating some of the slice with a fork and knife the rest held the toppings with no flop. The crust was chewy but not necessarily crispy. Got to chat with Jay, one of the owners, who was excited to have a crowd and eager to greet you. He mentioned his partner started Basilico's and Concord and the garlic knots should be similar to theirs - I'm eager to try them. They will have beer and wine soon but it's not available yet. Whether it's a slice onsite or a takeout pie Corner Crust is worth a visit. read more

20 min for a single slice of pizza. That is pathetic, wasted my entire 30 min break waiting for a slice. read more

The Corner Crust - Cold pizza, waited 35 minutes for this. Disgusting, will never come again. Save your $6.00 not worth it at all. - Pizza Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

The Corner Crust has potential, but right now, adjustments need to be made. The pizza is okay--and NO, bigger isn't always better. While giant slices might be eye catching, they are not a substitute for quality. The crust lacks flavor, and the balance of sauce and cheese just isn't there. Before focusing on novelty-slices, they need to go back to the basics. A great pizza doesn't need gimmicks--it just needs to be great. read more

Would not recommend. Table bounce and the set up is not good in the inside. Pizza tastes like frozen from supermarket. read more

Friendly service. The wait was not long. Pizzas were delicious and super hot. Indoor seating is limited but plenty of patio seating. Specialty pizzas are pricey but worth it. Who offers 28" pizzas? Awesome! read more

Overpriced no taste Pizza was very greasy first and last time there! Almost $40 for two slices cheese sticks and two drinks!

Great addition to Cornelius! The pizza was good. We ordered meatballs & ricotta. The crust is toasty and Yummy. We also ordered zeppoles but they were stale. We will be back but just for pizza and wings read more

My husband and I went there for lunch. We got a pie half with pepperoni. And the garlic knots. The food was absolutely delicious! The pizza was loaded with cheese and pepperoni not extra just the way it was made. Service was great. Only down side is that they have limited seating. Not good for a place to go in the evening. They do have outdoor seating with should help in the summer. I give it a 10 and I'm a PICKY person! read more

Omg we thought we were getting a large pizza it was huge. I loved it. The crust was good and if the sauce is good so is the rest, I was very impressed with the taste. I had the cheesecake also. Wasn't as impressed with that. It was like a grocery stour bought piece of cheesecake. read more

Pizza looks good I've not tried as of now. I will but as a Door Dash driver I recommend for the restaurant to get some sort of sticker to seal or just tape the box to prevent from tampering. There's some crazy people out here, as a Dasher I only order Door Dash from companies I know seal the food. read more

Everything could be improved, they are selling an oversized slice like that means something, it is absolutely crap. The pizza taste like crap! The crust is so flavorless it's not even funny. It's quantity over quality at this place. read more

Absolutely amazing and they pay close attention to any food allergies. The staff is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back soon read more

We love the pizza (especially the sausage) & garlic knots here and always friendly staff members!

There's lots of options / I got the regular pepperoni pie - was pepperoni cups and it's heavy on toppings. Cheesy bread is good - just thin and not a ton of cheese - don't expect like a dominos over the top item. But taste is on point and great for just quick local pizza read more

not a lot of seating felt like you were in a true pizzeria nice and cozy. ...the pizza (we ordered 2 slices) seemed like it was reheated not fresh (mushrooms were fresh not cooked with pizza put on top and reheated) The salads looked good the dressing wasn't house made though.. I gave it a 3 star for the pizzeria feel. did not care for the pizza at all. i saw 2 people struggling ordering on the computer. the staff member told them they could order with her after they struggled. should have told them the process of ordering when they came in the door like which which does. read more

Delicious, fresh and something for the whole family. We also appreciate their support of Cornelius Elementary!

Was excited for something new in the neighborhood, no offense to Crafty or Cool Fish. Overall, the pizza was ok. It's a huge slice that gets people's attention. My daughter got the 10 boneless wings. For $18, they were basically heavily breaded chicken nuggets that you could get at a gas station. The pinwheel was just ok too. Garlic knots were good. The "ambiance" is a bit more grab a slice and go. Not really a place to sit down, enjoy dinner and have a couple "brews". Will we go back? Probably, to just grab a slice from time to time. But I think for now, my pizza purchases stay at Mamas. read more

Location. Convienent but it should have a pick up parking space. Why I went. New to me place and there was a coupon for $10 off on $35. BUT COUPON DIDN'T SAY ONLY FOR DINE IN. So ended up not happy. Waitress was apologetic bit nit the point. It has uncomfortable tiny metal chairs anyway. Whe you walk in the back (where the parking is) you walk by flour and pizza boxes. NOT very healthy. Wonder why the health dept Hasn't seen this. Anyone can prick a hole in the paper floor bags and contaminate the flour. Would I return? NEVER. Should you go? NO, unless you like to perch on tiny metal seats and get bait and switch coupons. Alternates. Mamma Pizza just 1/5 mile away. read more

Delicious pizza! We did a carry-out order for a few adults and tried a few different options. We asked them to double cut them because the slices are huge. The crust is amazing, not floppy at all. The sausage and Margarita was my favorite. Will def go back when in the area...hope they open one in South Charlotte. read more

The pizza was okay, fairly expensive. We ordered the fried donuts and they tasted like garlic. Need to work out the kinks.

Stopped in to have dinner. Once inside it is small. A few tables. We ordered our pizzas. Then ordered drinks. No fountain drinks here only bottled. No cups with ice either. Three of us sat at this tiny high top table. They brought our pizzas to us in the take out boxes. No room at the table to try to eat, So we took our food home. They do have outdoor seating with larger tables. The pizza taste was awful. The only thing that was good was the cheesy bread. Paid extra for an extra dipping sauce for the cheezy bread. read more

Second time here and again had a great experience. We ate in both times at "off hours" so not a lot of people or atmosphere. Order time to food ready time was fast. Yes, the slices are huge, but they show all pizza sizes and the slice size clearly on the wall. We were there during a promo for free garlic knots and they did not disappoint. The owners was there and he engaged us in nice conversation. Good selection of local beers on tap were a plus. I do agree with another reviewer, that they should have a "free water" station just like every brewery does. It is a bad business decision to force you to purchase a "bottled water". I look forward to ordering one of their giant 24 inch pizzas when we have enough people. Also, the menu is very extensive but have only had pizze and garlic knots. I look forward to trying other items. I do recommend Corner Crust. read more
