Food is usually OK, but definitely not as good as it used to be with the former owners... I felt a bit uncomfortable when I went in to order, like there was a sense of frustration and/or urgency in the employees... just not the same quality pizza that was there before!!! read more

Best in town, hands down! The homemade crust is . There's never a trip to Watertown for our family that doesn't include at least one order from Empire Pizza! read more

Garlic chicken pizza with Alfredo sauce and hot honey on top was fantastic. Great service too!

Tasty pizza. Needed to check out something local (tired of the franchises) as we needed to overnight in Watertown. Good quick service. Simple decor nothing fancy. read more

I lived in Watertown my whole life and Empire pizza has always been the best pizza in town!

The yummiest pizza ever! Last night we had half cheese, half green olive with extra cheese on thin crust. Other times we have had taco pizza, Hawaiian...can't go wrong on build your own or specialty pizza. If you like thicker, original crust is tasty, too. Square cut is also a plus. Eating here for over 30 years since I was a kid. Hometown staple. read more

This is my favorite pizza in Wtown. Nothing fancy, just friggin tasty. We have have a few different pies and all have been great. Great crust, lots of cheese and just the right amount of sauce. Plan on takeout or delivery, because there are only 3 or 4 tables available. (We have dined in each time and enjoyed the constant flow of people coming in the pick up pizzas). My go-to when I want a straight up pizza pie. read more

Great pizza and good delivery service. Have been going there for years, and hope to continue going there.

Just how we like it! Thin, crispy, cheesy...generous amount of toppings We love supporting small local businesses and especially when the service is GREAT! read more

Home style pizza that is on another level! You will love the pepper Jack cheese, I suggest adding it to everything!

I hoped this place was good, but for the quality and price, expect a godfathers looking pizza with the Pizza Hut low quality ingredients. I'd say it's pizza but not very good. the worst part was it wasn't even cooked properly and was still doughy. no one would answer the phone when I called so I could at least see if I could buy another pizza or find a way to correct this since I wasn't even upset about it, i was just very hungry from working out here all day after traveling 6 hours out here for a job site. Sadly I couldn't finish it at all, and my coworkers couldn't either. I wish It could have gone better since a few people in town recommended it to me and said it was good pizza. I hope next time I'm stationed out here, these issues won't happen again. read more

Very good pizza. It's definitely the best pizza in town in my opinion. We also like it because it doesn't make you feel crappy after eating it. Not overly salty and greasy like some pizzas. Give them some business! read more

Fantastic pizza! It's second only to homemade. Quality ingredients and great flavors.

Good, almost great pizza. Toppings are great and the pie cooked just right. The thin crust was very uniform and a bit too tough. But good stuff overall, far superior to the chains. read more

I was told 35min for my order. I sat and waited. After an hour I asked the girl at the counter about my order and all of a sudden my ticket had been "misplaced". After an hour. It was "misplaced" because the girl at the counter doesn't like me from a past altercation. So employees apparently are allowed to pick and choose who they want to serve and how they want to serve them. I was given a refund, no pizza, and a certificate. I won't use the certificate. She'd spit in my food if she had the chance. And I talked to manager. Didn't do any good. Don't bother with this place. You'll wait double the time expected, if you even get a pizza in the end. read more

The pizza is exactly the same as the previous owners. It's difficult to find a pizza store in Watertown luckily this one is here.

Had this pizza a few nights ago. It was the best pizza I've had in a long time. Literally everything was excellent about it. I had the homemade crust and was very pleased. Wish I was closer to eat here more often. read more

Gross pizza, completely underbaked & the girl that answered the phone needs an attitude adjustment or a whole new personality. I was in Watertown for business & staying at a hotel, her rudeness & the disgusting pizza contributed to a horrible first impression. I will NEVER recommend them to any of my coworkers that will be traveling there. read more

Wow! Incredible pizza for the price. We highly recommend. If you like spice- the Jester pizza is delicious, lots of cheese.

Great pizza, great price! We ordered two pizzas for 6 of us (4 kids 11 and under), and one would have been more than enough. Our kids loved all the cheese and toppings. Much better than a chain pizza joint. Give them a call! read more

Empire Pizza is by far the best pizza in Watertown. wish we had one in Rapid City! Favorite of the kids when they come to town. They serve regular or thin crust. We prefer the thin crust as a personal preference. Great place for traditional non chain pizza ! Go Empire........reminds me of a Watertown Pizzeria That has been long gone . read more

This was one the worst pizza I've ever eaten crust tasteless toppings tasteless and a lack of I'll never never order it again

Great pizza here! We gave it a try on the way through Watertown and didn't regret it one bit! Thin crust, great sauce, good service and clean. Check these guys out! read more

Based on the reviews I was expecting pizza heaven but it was lacking in the "wow!" factor. I ordered the homemade crust with half cheese and half pepperoni and thought it was tasty but not anything that deserved 5 stars. They did stay busy the entire time I was there so it does seem to be a local favorite. The next time I am going to try the thin crust. read more

Stopped in on my way through Watertown because of the good reviews. Wasn't disappointed. I ordered based on the reviews because I didn't find the menu if I had I probably would have gotten the King's Delight. I also should have tried the thin crust on the second pizza. I was thinking about getting wings but interestingly the person behind the counter had never tried them. The web site is http://www.empirepizzainc.com/ read more

In town on business and not wanting to leave my hotel room to get something to eat. I love pizza but I have never been a fan of the chain pizza places. Found this place and only one review so wasn't too sure, but what the heck I went for it. I ordered meat pizza, not sure what they call it there. When I call they girl on the phone was pleasant, and didn't sound line some mouth breather. So far so good, calling for. Pizza and able to understand the employee taking the order. After telling her what I wanted I was surprised by the next question homemade or regular crust...... I went with the homemade crust. When the pizza arrived the driver was pleasant, and seemed to have all his teeth and probably no criminal record, which is always a plus. I paid for the pizza, tipped the driver (always tip the driver). I opened the box and saw was to be one the best pizzas I have had in a long time. The flavor of the cheese And sauce was good. The crust had a nice crunch and flavor as well. I have to admit, I only ate the edges if the crust, I am doing the lie carb thing, and pizza as a whole has was to many carbs, but not the top. All the the toppings were good and not over or under cooked, was not a pool of grease on top of the pie either. Overall it was a great pizza, and a great experience from ordering to delivery to consumption. Can't wait or my next trip to Watertown. read more

This long time Watertown pizza joint is simply way better than the 'chain' pizza places. Just delicious pizza.
