I have had a slice here on occasion. Sometimes when I make a run to Lowe's, I'll stop in and grab a slice. The customer service at Empire Pizza is always good. They usually have several variations of pizza to choose from. I always get a slice and a cup for water. The inside is a typical pizza place with enough seating and a view of the outside or the kitchen. The pizza takes a few minutes in the pizza oven before I get to enjoy the deliciousness. I've always enjoyed my pizza from here. Recently I ordered a large meat lovers for delivery. The online wait projected 60 75 minutes. I orders through Uber eats and it came much sooner than that. I did order the large and it was huge. I failed to mention this earlier, but their slices are big. The crust is great. The sauce is the perfect amount for me. I wish I could've changed some of the toppings, but it was still delicious. I recommend giving Empire Pizza a try. I'll keep eating here. read more

BUT ASS PIZZA!!! It was so good tho! Wings if you like wing stop original get the "spicy" not mild but so good.

Pizza was cold but decent sized, it's reheated pizza that sits in a glass case most of the day, made the staff aware of a food allergy and was still served pizza with a topping I was allergic to and didn't realize till I got home, weary of returning but an okay experience if you don't have any food allergies. Nice restaurant inside. read more

I'm here in Jacksonville, NC on business and decided to buy the team lunch, we looked for the best Pizza around and everyone said at once order from Empire. Empire did an amazing job, the pizzas were delicious, the wings were perfect and everyone was satisfied. I can't thank Jessica and the team at Empire for a fabulous meal. read more

The inside of the store itself is a bit outdated but do not let that fool you. This is the best pizza in Jacksonville by a landslide. The staff is helpful and friendly. We've ordered the tomato spinach Alfredo pizza, and the bruschetta pizza so far and both were AMAZING. They also have good wings. read more

We brought in a large, energetic group of 12 year olds and they didn't bat an eye! Friendly service, above and beyond!

Might want to box your pizza slices different and not stack them. Maybe a 5 minute drive and we were left with only bread and sauce for the bottom slices. It all just pealed right off read more

Pizza is very good ! Service was good. Wish the pieces were cut smaller. They are quite large. read more

Food is pretty good, prices same as other New York style pizza places. I really don't like that I came in and bought a two litter with my order and asked for five cups. They charged me 50 cents each for five "water cup" and $3.59 for a two litter. That's over $6 to get a two litter and cups. That is enough to keep me from coming back. read more

Empire Pizza - Receipt - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

This pizza place has both inside and outside seating. Which is nice when you want to enjoy the sun, or if you'd like to bring your dog. Then the patio seating is just right. We were promptly greeted when we walked in. I like being acknowledged by the staff. They had a variety of premade pizzas to choose from. They also have salads subs and garlic knots. So there's definitely something for everyone to enjoy here. I wanted to try their cheeseburger pizza as I could see the pickles on top. I also choose a slice of mushroom pepperoni pizza. I Rounded out my lunch with a fountain soda. First bite of that cheeseburger pizza had me wanting for more. The flavors complicated each other, while even the mustard wasn't overwhelming. Will definitely eat a slice or two of that cheeseburger pizza again. The classic much room and pepperoni was tasty and balanced. But I just can't get over the flovor of that cheeseburger pizza. read more

Pizza was good but the pasta is not that appetizing. Would definitely go back for the pizza! And the pizza only

The pizza, fried pickles snd french fries were good. The pizza is NY style with tasty sauce. The steak and cheese sub was very mushy and the texture was soggy. The meat in the sub tasted freezer burnt and stale. We would try again for the pizza. The service was friendly and the dining area was decent. Great location! read more

We will definitely be coming back! Great food and great atmosphere. Only suggestion I would make is to make the wings a little saucy because the flavor is great having it on there to dip it would of completed it all. So if you are reading this maybe ask for extra sauce on the wings! See y'all next month! read more

NO ONE IS WEARING MASKS AS THEY MAKE THE FOOD...Pretty sure this is a violation of current COVID-19 Laws (as of 2 July)...My favorite pizza place but WILL NOT BE HEADED BACK UNTIL THEY MASK UP!!!! Also, inside and outside seating areas are not big enough for Social Distancing!!!!! read more

Great pizza by the slice. Best pizza in the Jacksonville area. Easy in and out for lunch.

I keep forgetting about this place because its on the other side of town from where I live. But its worth the drive over everytime. Great single slices or whole pies but if your looking to just have a great slice or two this is hands down the best place to come into especially if your shopping on this side of town. read more

Empire Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Ordered dinner online for my family. I Ordered a large pepperoni pizza, a Calzone with peppers an olives. As well as, a Stromboli with banana pepper. 2 garlic. Butters, and a 2 litter. An employee named Micah called to verify the order. When it finally arrived there was no pizza and 2 Stromboli. Called back spoke to Micah who told me I didn't order a pizza. Put me thru to the manager who wouldn't help. Then the owner got on the phone, who all but called me a liar wouldn't make it right, then said I included the tip on my credit card. I NEVER DO THAT, THE TIP IS ALWAYS PAID IN CASH. I can't believe how rude they are no one I know or talk to will NEVER order from Empires ever again read more

Best pizza in Jacksonville.reminds me exactly of pizza in NYC it doesn't get better.

Understanding that it's a bit rough, working and making things work during this Covid thing. That being said, I ordered two chicken parm dinners tonight for hubby and I. These came with Marinara sauce topped spaghetti, and a nice topping of melted mozzarella cheese. Also, a garlic knot. The Marinara is used on many of Empire's items. I just need to say. It's not like my mamma used to make. She made it a smooth light sauce, by puree-ing the tomatoes. What we have been getting here are small chunks of tomatoes with olive oil and very little seasoning. Sorry Guys. The spaghetti was overcooked, as was the garlic knot. It was very dark brown on the bottom. We'll keep going back to Empire because at one point, they were the best. But had to give 4/5 for the reasons given. The chicken cutlet was truly GREAT!!! Tender, juicy...crispy on the outside, like a cutlet should be. That is all. Keep up the good work, Guys! read more

The pizza here is amazing! Big slices. If I go there, and they don't have mushroom slices in the display case...they will make some for me. Delicious!!! read more

The food took an hour to be delivered but it was still hot. The food is a little pricey but it is 100% worth the extra money. 10/10 their cooks need a raise . read more
