Empire Pizza

Jack Knoxville

Best in Jacksonville! My wife and I moved here a few months back and we’re excited to try all the new to us restaurants. I’ve made it a point to try every pizza place in Jacksonville so that we could figure out which was our fave after having some more mediocre experiences elsewhere. I have to say, Empire has won it hands down! The pizza and pasta dishes here have been nothing less than delicious. Admittedly I can be picky when it comes to pizza bc I’m from NY and consider myself well versed on the topic. I’ve had a lot of pizza all over the US actually and this place might even be in my top 5. We’ll def be ordering from here again and again!

Considering there's no less than two dozen places to get pizza in J'ville, it's no small deal to say this is one of the best that there is. Lunch specials are well priced and the pizza is always delicious. The staff here are really friendly as well, and it never takes long for them to get your food out. Definitely recommend.

Im from New England and for the first time since moving down here in 2007, i found a place that has back home food. They have grinders that are out of this world. The pizza definitely reminds me of New York style thin crust. Staff is always friendly and the owner is working alongside his staff. Great place!!! If there is ever a wait, its worth it!!

Bad service on NYE and no effort to make things right. Such a bummer. Shortly after 3pm I placed an online order for curbside pickup at 530pm anticipating they were going to be busy. One stuffed pizza. Went ahead and tipped $5. Almost $30 spent with the tip. Arrived shortly before 530, called to let them know I was there. Micah answered and said it wasn't quite ready yet. This was no problem as I said I was a few minutes early. There were not any customers in the store when I pulled up, but by 540 they were packed, I still didn't have a pizza, and now my 2 year old was getting antsy. I called the store again and was put on hold.. understandable given all the customers in the store. After over 4 mins on hold I hung up and called back but the line was busy. I tried a couple more times, still busy. Our order was now over 15 mins late, and my 2 year old was now screaming, so I just got him out and we went in to see what was going on. I told them I had a curbside pickup for 530 that I hadn't gotten yet. They verified my name, and come to find out my pizza had been ready and sitting on top of the oven. They said they didn't know I was there. I told them, as this review starts out, that I had called when I got there and spoke to a Micah. They all said Micah didn't tell them I was there. A girl brought my pizza out for me still which was very kind given my arms were full with my toddler. She apologized multiple times for the mishap. It was a bummer though they didn't do anything besides apologizing to try to make it better. By the time we left it was 5:50pm. 20 minutes past our order time. We were trying to support local but almost $30 for one pizza and no real effort to right the wrong.. we'll be going back to Little Caesars in the future for a lot less money and on time orders. Also, not sure if this is normal of the stuffed pizzas but the cheese and toppings didn't come close to the edge of the pizza. See pictures.
