- pizzathe pizza seemed like it was from yesterday
- crustthe crust was halfway off the rest of the slice
- cheese pizzaWe ordered delivery: a medium Stromboli with NO mushrooms (I write that clearly in the comment section like I always do) and a cheese pizza. The Stromboli was full of mushrooms and the cheese pizza tasted like it was made 2 days ago: stale and barely warm. We have had such a bad day and we're really looking forward to some delicious Cornerstone food.
- cheeseMy experience at the restaurant was not good. I was not a fan of the food, as there was very little cheese. It did not taste good, and I ended up throwing half of it in the trash.
- hairI found a clump of hair wrapped in a wing under the sauce.
- wingsThe wings were mushy and tasted like they were reheated.
- Biancathis Bianca taste like cardboard with garlic and cheese on top.

- disposable plates and cutleryI bought 3 pizzas, and all of them came with burnt crusts! I also asked for disposable plates and cutlery, but they didn't have any. It was a very disappointing experience.
Overall, service here can be a bit of a gamble. While many rave about the friendly staff and efficient online ordering, be prepared for potential hiccups like long waits or order mix-ups, especially with delivery. It's worth a try for simple pickups, but manage your expectations for more complex orders.

Hygiene Concerns and Hair in Pizza
As a new resident, I was drawn to this place by its exterior. However, upon entering to pick up my pizza, I noticed the establishment felt a bit 'crusty. ' The staff's attire raised concerns: the person at the front counter wore flip-flops, and the pizza maker, while wearing closed-toe shoes, lacked a hairnet and gloves.
I also observed the pizza maker not washing their hands after handling something in the dining area. Despite these issues, the original pepperoni pizza tasted fine. Unfortunately, I discovered a hair baked into my pizza, which was definitely mine.
I ate it since I had already paid and didn't want to cause a fuss. Given the hygiene observations and finding a hair in my food, I will not be returning and advise others to avoid this place.

Wings Shine, Pizza is Just Okay
My experience at Cornerstone Pizza was a mixed bag, but ultimately positive due to their excellent wings. While the pizza itself was surprisingly just okay for me, my dad is a big fan. We decided to try the wings, and I'm so glad we did!
They were very well cooked, crispy, and even came with a few extra. My grandmother and father enjoyed their Mild and Teriyaki wings, and I did too. I recommend the wings, while they recommend the pizza, so there's something for everyone.
The owner inside was also very friendly. Overall, it's a place with options for different preferences.

Decent Pizza, Great Wings, Fast Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. The pizza was decent, nothing too extraordinary, but still enjoyable. However, the hot wings were a standout, being really good and crispy.
The prices were fair, and the service was quick, making for an efficient dining experience.
