Empire Pizza was very delicious! The guy behind the counter was very friendly, and the aesthetics of this place were fun to look at! I loved how thin, but crispy the pizza was. I will definitely be back!

The pizza here is really good no doubt but it’s expensive to eat and drink here. One of the pros about this place is that it’s really spacious and has that good old Italian vibe to it. I think I saw an old school gangster...Read More

The most delicious New York slice in San Francisco! The chefs and owner behind this business truly care about ingredients and the dough process, therefore producing an amazing quality slice. The square dough is perfectly moist (almost foccacia like) and topped with flavorful tomato sauce...Read More

Great pizza square! $13 for a slice and a Coke with everything included. Crunchy bread and tasty tomato sauce. Pepperoni was just the right amount of heat in 👌🏻 …

This is seriously some of the best gluten-free pizza in San Francisco! Each bite was perfection. I appreciated how careful they were to avoid gluten cross contamination.

Quality cheese slice - thin crispy crust, flavorful sauce, fresh basil (!) The cheese is interesting as it's a combination of shredded and fresh mozzarella so it doesn't stretch into long strands (for that cheese pull) like most pizza slices. Tasty though!

Being gluten free, pizza is often a disappointment for me. However, Empire was a pleasant surprise and has the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! And they sell it by the slice (square)

Great quality pizza! Love the crunch has no flop. Have square and triangle pizza. Buy by the slice or whole. Gets a little busy but people constantly in and out. They just need a soft drink machine for people to operate. I noticed many customers...Read More

Delicious slice of pie with plentiful toppings. The crust was perfectly crunchy on bottom and soft in the middle. Each slice was reasonably priced. The seltzer was delicious, but pricey.
