| - I tried Empire for the first time on 4-17-15. I expected it to be a lot like Fuel Pizza...customers walking to a counter, ordering a slice of pre-baked pizza, etc., but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's an actual, normal restaurant.
I ordered two slices of pizza and added two toppings, which ended up being about $3.33 a slice. Normally, I'd say that's a lot, but the slices are so big that it makes up for it. One slice filled me up, and I usually have a voracious appetite. My boyfriend and I got garlic knots as an appetizer and, I must admit... I was a little disappointed. They reminded me of store-bought, bagged rolls with a little garlic slapped on them. Not bad, but not impressive either. Both the pizza and garlic knots were incredibly greasy, so I blotted them with a paper towel. Taste was great, though, and whatever cheese they use on the pizza is fantastic.
Our server was ok, she did her job, but she wasn't very enthusiastic or friendly. Who knows? Maybe it was a rough night.
Would I go back? Definitely. Is it awesome? No, but it tastes good and gets the job done.
EDIT: Went back last night (4-22-15) and ordered a side garden salad and a slice of pizza. The waitress got my salad dressing wrong, the salad was mostly big chunks of iceberg lettuce, and had hardly any toppings in it. My slice of pizza and my boyfriend's slices were cold. Seriously...it was like it had been sitting out for awhile. Our waitress had no personality...Not sure we will be back again.
