A nice picture of this restaurant. I really like this place, despite a few issues I had earlier on. Added patio now.

The 21 Hottest Pizza Places Across the US Right Now - Hot Hot Heat! - Eater National
NBD... I love Empire.
This has basically become my wife and I's local. Every Saturday, without fail, 3 slices (between the two of us), and 3-4 beers (not between the two of us )
If you haven't been yet, go.
I had some slices of pizza from this joint last night..that some friends had picked up and had at their house. Not toooo shabby!
Some behind the scenes drama playing out with Empire and their original financing.... Relationship leads to loan, relationship sours, people want their money.

So is the thing to do get a whole pizza? I have heard a few people say it is worth the wait for the better whole pizza than by the slice?
I personally think their pizzas are a thousand percent better when fresh out of the oven as opposed to held, which is how the slices usually come, though if you come when they are busy enough sometimes the slices are pretty fresh too.
Is it just me or does that elephant look like a phallic sculpture from that angle?
Just you
That is a representation of the proverbial "pink elephant", which in this circumstance is analogous to a barber pole advertising the adjacent shop's tonsorial prowess, or the three balls which denote a pawnbroker. Quite clever, really.
I've only had slices there, and I would have thought they were carved from a pie that was just baked. I've also gone during busy periods, such as second Friday, Thunder game nights, and so forth.
I can report that it was in top form again last night! Albeit with an hour and a half wait, which was no problem because we were there for the Night on the Plaza regardless. The pink sauce is amazing...without any research whatsoever, I can attest that it has a bunch of dill in it, which goes with crust so well.
As I've said before, I love NY style pizza. I haven't allowed myself any pizza for about a year and when I do enjoy a taste--in the near future--I want it to be a whole lot better than what is available within walking distance of the house (Papa John's or Little Caesar's or Red Baron at Buy For Less). So, what do the good people at Empire get for a slice of yer basic, old school pizza? Is $5.00 about right?
p.s. Here's another pink sauce that is worth a try: The last of a jar of Dijon Mustard with a little catsup and some red pepper flakes.
We have a lot of dill growing out on the patio. I think I'll mix some of that in with the above. =)
LOL ^^^^^!!!
So . . . Is a slice at Empire about five bucks?
(one good slice of pizza is worth more than an entire pie from Li'l Caesar's)
(of course, I used to like Falcone's and Perri's before they went away, so my opinion needs to be taken with a grain of salt)
