Their by-the-slice pizza just rates "good" to "very good" in my book, due to the fact that it is made and then held under a heat lamp until purchased. You are at the whim of demand.
If you happen to be there during a time when the flavor you desire is flying off of the shelf and you get something hot out of the oven, you'll be very happy. But if demand isn't high at the moment on the type you want and it has been sitting around for a while, you might be a little underwhelmed. I prefer the method used at Sauced (I have no connection to Sauced and actually go to Empire far more often however). Sauced's way of pre-prepping and pre-cooking blank slices, then topping to order and finishing in an oven just makes for fresher-tasting slices in most instances.
That said, if you go to Empire and order a whole pie, I will place it up against any pizza in OKC. It is absolutely delicious. Trust me, go when you can order a whole pie.
