First time having Empire Pizza. We chose delivery and it arrived a little over an hour as expected. Great food. We really enjoyed it! Now, with that being said, this is what I did not enjoy....I did not enjoy being told by the boy delivering the order that his bosses wanted him to let me know that he was basically delivering outside of their delivery zone and I needed to know this before ordering next time. Basically, next time I will need to pick it up. I said okay, thank you and turned away to go inside. I was very uncomfortable with that conversation. Hey, I absolutely get it, we are technically 20 minutes/14 miles away (Piney Green for those of you in this area considering delivery); however, how was I to know I was outside of the delivery zone? I came across the website, food looked good, I opened the recommended imenu360 app on your website to order, I selected our meals, entered in our delivery address, paid $72 for the order, and we get a confirmation of delivery. At no time during that process was there a pop-up notification suggesting pickup only due to my location. As many other businesses do, I would HIGHLY suggest updating the delivery zones on your app to prevent future uncomfortable and unnecessary conversations. read more

Food was awesome!!, not greasy or oily pizza. Pizza Slices I will be back again Friendly service and quick service read more

I've eaten here multiple times. Good Pizza and great wings!!! The staff are nice, yet a bit quirky, but it's not a bother. They run some pretty good deals on pizza slices, so it's worth it. They aren't super expensive at all. read more

Somehow a review showed up from me and I had never visited empire Pizza. So today I decided to try it out. The business is very clean, even a health rating of 100%! Very nice employees and the food was very good. I had the special of large sub,fries and a drink. Yes, I ate it all and shouldn't have. But it was too good not to finish. Recommend this business if you like subs and pizza. read more

I have to second the other most recent post for Empire Pizza. My husband and I love this place and like others discovered it as the pandemic was starting. However, when I picked up my pizza this last weekend, I also noted that there were no masks being worn by any of the staff. I will not be heading back anytime soon until they go back to wearing masks. We will miss giving them business, but I have a hard time giving my money to businesses that aren't honoring public health notices or local community health. read more

Good pizza but holy cow they are really pricey. And when I called last week for delivery the person answering the phone was impatient and slightly rude. They do have fresh mushrooms which is a huge plus. And probably why we ordered from them as much as we did for a while. They rarely have specials so we stopped ordering from here. We prefer Napoli's for delivery and Lazzaros is we want to eat in town. read more

Tried this place for the first time this week. We ordered a cheese pizza and a steak and cheese sub through their online system. The steak and cheese sub was not made with the toppings we requested and the meat had no flavor. My 10 yr old commented on the odd taste and super hard crust on the pizza. Maybe we ordered on an off night but the food was just not up to par. Although the food was not great, the staff was friendly. read more

Pizza done than employees were standing doing nothing than they decided do the rest of my order 40 mins later never ever I have seen this bad of service at this restaurant it has gone down hill fast The pizza was burnt on the bottom I asked for the manager and he really did not give hot what I wanted to tell him read more

NC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN Services. Governor posted July 21st. Failed most of the requirements for remaining open. Failed at least 80 % of requirements. Been one hour customers re-using tables that someone has already sat in. If they say they don't have time it's a lie, half the employees chilling in the back talking. More than 3rd of employees don't have masks. Seen no wearing gloves. I don't write reviews. This place needed one. read more

We order chicken tenders and cheese sticks for my kid which he said were okay. We ordered the Calzone and Stromboli and were not pleased. It had waaay too much cheese and BARELY any of the other toppings. We love cheese but it just had too much. Not sure if we would go back. Two stars just because our son semi liked it. read more

See all

Great pizza! Delivers late night. Prices are very pricey, but recommended because of the quality and size of portions.

Absolutley love this place! My husband was born and raised in CT, and I have also spent a couple years living on the East. When we moved down here, we were extremely disappointed by all the pizza places. The only good ones we could find were all.the way in Wilmington. We drove past this place while we were shopping at Walmart and decided to stop in. Best pizza place in town! Taste just like NY style pizza which we have been missing so much!! read more

The closest thing to a New York Slice in Jacksonville, NC. The staff is very friendly and will spark up a conversation with you while your pie is in the oven. It's hard to find great pizza in this area but Empire does it well. I recommend calling ahead and giving them a solid 20 minutes to have your pie ready for you if you don't want to sit and wait. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Poor customer service . My husband and I stopped after grocery because of their 4 star review, we weren't greeted or knowledge at all , me and cashier made eye contact she rolled her eyes and I left immediately. read more

We had cheese pizza, cheese fries, and garlic knots. Everything was Tasty, quick service, friendly staff.

Surprised by this place. Had the chicken parmigiana sub, calzone, and cheese pizza. Everything was good. The bread for the sub roll was not that soggy stuff some places try to give you. Toasted crusty sub roll, legit marinara with tomato chunks and flavor. Yum. read more

Today, i organized a elementary school pizza party for about 18-21 people. The owner Taylor helped make it a success. The 8 pizzas were delivered to the New River gate on time, the pizzas were hot and delicious! The best customer service experience i have received especially when ordering for a big group! I totally recommend this pizza establishment! Thank you Empire Pizza for making our event successful! Check this place out people for some good NY style delicious pizza! read more

I would occasionally get a haircut from Fantastic Sam's and pass this place by. However, one day I felt like grabbing a slice and was amazed at how good their pizza was! When you order a slice they will put it in the oven to reheat it and the pizza comes out crisp and fresh. The staff here are friendly and their service is really good too. Definitely coming back to check out the rest of their menu. read more

I'm from New York and i was sick of the chain store pizza, and i found Empire Pizza after visiting Lowe's next door and i asked my wife if she wanted pizza, and she said yes, and i saw the sign for slices, and being sceptical i only ordered 2 slices and brought them to my car and after my first Bite and i saw the oil start dripping i said NOW this is Pizza,, my next visit to Jacksonville i made it my business to stop in and compliment them and ordered a large sausage and mushroom pie and brought it home and loved it, and i will return for more,, i think they should open another store in Richlands. Thank you Empire for some good food finally. read more

We've ordered from here a handful of times and the food is good. I recommend the cheese steak "all the way" and the wings are always good. The staff is always friendly when i call and delivery drivers are fast! Highly recommend! read more

Can't bring myself to try any other place in the area. Always fresh; Good price and great customer service!

Just a great place. Pizzas and subs are on point. The stuffed pizza is epic and more than enough for the family.

My husband and I stop here a couple of times a month when we are out doing errands. The pizza is delicious! The slices are generous in size! Just the right amount of grease . The place is clean but above all the customer service has always been outstanding! read more

New in town and was looking for a decent place to eat some pizza. Ordered two big slices of pepperoni/mushroom. The size of the pizza itself was pretty big, and it tasted pretty good. But I did not think the crust was very plain and hard. Willing to give this place another chance in the near future to try out the other food on the menu. Overall experience was between average and pretty good! read more

First time being in NC and their pizzas are amazing!!! We only have a dominoes and Mazzio's in my small town. The empire pizza's are BIG compared to other places. I only ate one piece and i was full and happy. I recommend this place to eat pizza's! read more

The food comes in at a solid "meh". Frozen everything, you can taste the yummy freezer. Their pizza is thin, which isn't the issue, normally Uber amounts of grease softens up crust. They have conjured up a liquid proof cardboard they try to pass as pizza crust. The second star rating is for their yummy wings. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that the entire staff is anti-social and lack the basic communication skills it takes to be polite. Overpriced for the quality. read more

Best pizza in town..prices are stiff ..but it's worth every penny...I will definitely order again. Great job guys read more

Best pizza in Jacksonville, in my honest opinion they're better than Tony's and Abruzzo. The dough stands on its own, not as much grease and full of flavor. Highly recommended. read more

Empire Pizza was previously Michaelangelos. The only things that have changed under the new ownership are the name and you can now order online. Thankfully, since I'm nearly on a first name basis with the staff, they, and the recipe, have stayed the same. When pizza is THIS good, and you are greeted with "Where have you been? We haven't seen you in 3 days!...", I suggest stocking up on stretchy pants because this place is worth every pound. I mean penny. read more

Of the few pizza places me and my family have gone, in Jacksonville, NC, this is one we probably will not return to except for the stromboli. The pizza slices are huge but NOT good..at least not the plain cheese slices. It came out fairly cold, hard and the bottom was mainly burnt. It was sooo bad as a matter of fact that my 7yr boy didn't even eat a quarter of it. On a positive note. The stromboli was EXCELLENT! read more

I'm new to the Jacksonville area, and I have been searching for a good sub/ Pizza place. I have been here three now and every time it's been great. When we went to pick the food up the store is always spotless and the customer service is always excellent. Finally the price and taste of the food. The prices are very reasonable and the subs are made with care. I'm a sandwich dude and if it does look right or looks like it was thrown together I will send it back. So far I had the steak and cheese twice it was great, I have also had the the Italian, and meatball sub. There Pizza by the slice is also good. You can't beat the quality of their sandwiches. I highly recommend this place. read more

The best chicken philly in Jacksonville hands down! Their fries and pizza is also amazing. Great prices. My new favorite spot.

Compared to Lazarras and Michaelangelos, their slices are definitely a good bit smaller but they charge the same. Taste good but not as good as the others mentioned. I left wanting just a little bit more than the 2 slices I ate. read more

This used to be our favorite pizza place in Jacksonville, but the service has gone downhill lately. They always seem to forget parts of our order or the entire thing. A week ago we ordered delivery and they forgot to send our order out. Today they brought us salad with no dressing. Not sure what's going on but this isn't the Empire Pizza we've come to expect. read more

Great! We got the pizza, Chicken Parmigiana, and Fettuccine Alfredo, food was excellent and a great value. Prices were fair, but the quality made it a bargain. Wish it was available near home, will definitely return next time we visit the area! read more

My wife and I are very picky about pizza. Empire is delicious. Crust was not soggy, but not so crispy that it cuts your gums when you bite it. Toppings were fresh. Wings are great too. Will quickly become a go to for a quick supper. read more

The best pizza place in all of Jacksonville extremely clean professional and extremely nice staff I've been there multiple times and it gets better every time. read more

Had the cheesesteak extra cheese bread was good ok cheesesteak will try there pizza next time

The pizzas are good, and the size is worth the price. A medium is bigger than a large at Dominos or Pizza Hut. It's made to order, if you don't get a slice out the display. The service and staff were all great. Really friendly and easy to interact with. The only complaint we have is that the price of some appetizers are really not worth the amount. It was $5.95 for fried pickles, but you the amount you get would be more appropriately priced closer to $2. We will definitely come back to try more of their menu, though. read more

Love this place! Awesome pizza and the best subs around! I live in Newbern and come here to Jacksonville to visit my mom who lives close to Empire Pizza. The people there are always so nice, and my husband eats out a lot with his job, and says that absolutely no one can even come close to making a sub as good as theirs. Would highly recommend! read more
