Pizza King – Newburgh, Indiana
As a DoorDash delivery driver, I’ve picked up from countless restaurants, and I always aim to remain professional and courteous no matter the circumstances. Unfortunately, my experience today at Pizza King in Newburgh around 5:00 PM was so unsettling that I feel compelled to share it.
Upon arriving to pick up a customer’s order, I was met with unexpected and unprovoked hostility from the two young women working behind the counter. One of them — a blonde employee — aggressively dropped the customers food onto the counter and sharply said, “Here.” Her tone was so harsh and dismissive that I paused, taken aback, and asked if I had done something wrong. I had never interacted with either employee before.
Instead of a respectful response, the blonde employee walked toward the back and shouted, “That’s the order,” then added, “Me and her were just talking about something,” while both employees laughed and exchanged smirks. Their demeanor was openly hostile, dismissive, and unprofessional.
An elderly woman sitting in the store waiting for her order witnessed the interaction. When I turned to her in visible disbelief, she gave me a look of equal confusion, as if to silently say, “What just happened?”
Before leaving, I politely asked about the 2-liter soda that was part of the order — simply to make sure I wasn’t taking anything I shouldn’t. They responded with silent, condescending stares, as if asking a simple clarifying question was an inconvenience.
Despite this experience, I still thanked them and wished them a good day on my way out, hoping they wouldn’t treat the next customer with the same dismissiveness and rudeness.
This incident struck a nerve — not just because I was treated poorly, but because professionalism and basic human kindness should not be optional, especially in customer service. I’ve never been to a Pizza King before, but I can say with certainty I will not be returning to this location, and I would caution others to be prepared for less-than-welcoming service if they choose to visit.

Placed an order tonight and 1 item was a 10” pepperoni pizza. It was over cooked and tasted like it was a frozen pizza. It did not at all taste like their crust and sauce that I love so much. We also got a 16” black olive, beef and mushroom and it was good. We ate 1 piece of the pepperoni one and threw it away.

Great German fries , 3 eggs over medium, biscuit meal. A must try, must give them a try. Waitress was very efficient and friendly. They are all like that and never ending coffee. They can't be beat!.

Pizza King is a staple in this area. There isn't anything like a Stromboli to make your day. I've tried many different versions elsewhere, but none compare to the original. It's simple, flavorful, and satisfying.

My 2 1/2 year old son and I were just in pizza king getting pizza and 2 storms. As we were waiting for our food he spotted the claw machines, he loves them. So I let him do them. When he won a prize he wanted to play again. But I was out so I told him next time. He was getting a little fussy because he wanted to play again. I was trying to get him to sit down next to me. I told him to leave them alone so he doesn’t break the handles. No he wasn’t being rough or BEATING on the machine then I hear the lady in the glasses say OH MY GOD with attitude. So I pick him up and say let’s go wait outside. She then mumbled something. I was do what. She’s rudely said we don’t need him beating on the games. My son is 2 ! So I really didnt appreciate her attitude.

Food was dismal. Got cheesy bread, they were small and tasteless. Got the wings, no seasoning, no sauce, baked, slimey, only gave me six wings. Food was way over priced for the quality. Got those two items and a drink $20.00!. No thank you never again.

My family and I were trying to experience Pizza King for the first time. The teenage staff there were really nice but the manager was rude and hateful. There is no sign saying when the dining room was closing and she gave us attitude for just sitting down waiting for our food. I had to explain to my autistic son why we had to wait in the car in the heat so that my husband could get the food. I have never had such horrible service from a manager. As a former manager I say she needs an attitude adjustment. Never coming back here again! I feel I deserve a refund!
