Was downtown Tucson and I just needed a quick slice and a Coke as I was out and about. This $5 deal hit the spot and l liked the cheese, and will try the pepperoni next time! VictorB
I love this place! The pizza is fantastic and I love that they're open late. They were accommodating for me to order 4 pizzas at 2am on Saturday. I will be making this a regular thing for my work that's open 24/7. The pepperoni might be the best I've ever had, keep up the good work!
I had an amazing experience at this pizza place! The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome the moment I walked in. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect with my order, and you can really tell they care about their customers. The pizza was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor, definitely some of the best I’ve had. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!
Haven't had EMPIRE Pizza since I relocated. Its still just as good as I remember it. Ordered a whole pepperoni pie and had to try a slice of their Elote pizza. My favorite part is the sauce, I love that it has a tangy, sweet taste to it. The cheese and crust are also good, you can get a good cheese pull depending on how much you put on it. As you can see the slices are pretty bug and they use a decent amount of topping. You can even make do with the slice and drink combo but recommend a whole pie, its just that good. Thin, nepolitan-like crust with no flops, the outer crust is very chewy and not dry. There's a lot if flavor ti their pizza even with minimal toppings. The Elote Pizza has a unique flavor to it. There's a spice to it from the chilli powder seasoning they use, reminds me of Lucas powder from when I was a kid. The spicy mayo compliments this very well and they don't oversaturate the pizza with it which is nice. The pieces of corn was a nice touch and again they don't overdue it. And there is a lemon/lime zing to it. A really unique flavor. Overall still pleased with everything I purchased and will continue to support their business the more Ibcan visit downtown. BE WARNED, because it is downtown parking is atrocious but it is worth it to stop in and have a slice. It's the best food downtown.
The atmosphere is lively with a great mix of food and drinks. The pizza tastes fresh and flavorful every time I visit. Staff members are upbeat and provide excellent service. The bar area feels fun without being overwhelming. Prices are fair and portions are generous. The space is clean and well maintained which adds to the experience. Service remains consistent even when the place is packed. It has become a go to spot for both food and fun.
