Empire Pizza

This place is small. There are a few tables out front and a bar in the back. The pizza is great. Love the full on flavor of any of their pizzas. On this night they had run out of a few ingredients. In all fairness it was late on a Friday night. So really have no complaints. We chose the Bensonhurst. It was so good. Perfect blend of flavors. No slice without ingredients. The dough was absolutely great. I don't even like the dough on most pizzas. But this is a nice bread like dough with a good flavor and not dry or hard to eat at all. These are large pizzas. 20" large pizzas to be exact.. Plenty to share. Yet it was so good that we devoured it. I didn't get a chance to take a photo and there were no leftovers. I've tried several pizzas from here and all have been great. The cheese. The elote. All always delicious and fresh. Just don't go here wanting a Hawaiian. You won't get it. They don't have pineapple!!They have several deserts, we chose the cannoli. It was so good. They also have cheesecake and tiramisu. The pizza is available by the slice or the whole pie. So go alone. Go with a friend or do like me and share with several friends. Either way you won't be disappointed. The bar is in the back. It's a full bar. While we waited we had drinks. They were solid drinks. Each of us got what we asked for. One gal thought the drink was to strong. The bartender added a bit more coke and made it perfect. This is a casual place. It has great pizza, tasty desserts and good drinks. Street parking. Open for lunch and open late. So anytime is a good time to get your slice on.

Empire Pizza is a Tucson staple! For anyone that questions airport food options in Tucson's at ones at the A gates are all local businesses, except Dunkin' Donuts. Empire is known for their New York style slices and they take their dough making seriously! They crispIt up in the oven and it's as good as fresh. My only gripe is lack of options. They only have cheese or Pepperoni. Glad to see Empire at Tucson International!

Awesome spot in the TUS airport (A gate side). Super friendly employee and 100 delicious pizza. She told us that Empire Pizza was founded on their Elote slices as their flagship differentiator. Yes, they still have boring cheese slices and regular pepperoni slices also - which to be fair, looked super tasty - but if you pass by, grab you a slice of their unique Elote pizza. SO GOOD.The lady helping us said she made the chipotle drizzle that goes on top and also hit the slice with a little Tajìn sprinkle and cilantro. So unique and SO flavorful.Decent prices are also found here. $3 for cheese, $3.50 for pepp, and $4.25 for the Elote, per slice. The slices are also HUGE! If you find my photo, she cut my large slice in two so I could share with my wife. These big slices overtake a whole paper plate!100% recommend. Go. You will not be disappointed.

Great pizza by the slice at the Tucson Airport. Under $4 for a slice of great pizza, a steal at the airport. Service at the counter could be improved. Like maybe a simple hello. Otherwise would be a 5star review.

The best New York style pizza in Tucson!! Don't forget to checkout the bar in the back.

I haven't had anything here but the elote pizza, and I never will. The elote pizza is so, so, so good and a great value since the pizza is so big. There's not much more to say!

My boyfriend was out celebrating his 21st birthday with some buddies and decided to end the night with a slice of pizza from this place. He said it was so good I HAD to come with him to get some the next day! We left with two whole pepperoni pies. The gentleman who made our food was so kind.My bf was telling no lies about this pizza. It was delicious. Perfect sauce to cheese ratio and beautifully seasoned. Very filling but absolutely worth the $! Definitely give this place a try.

Stuck with the limited options at the Tucson Airport and chose this almost place by default since it had the shortest line. I didn't expect much, cuz you know... airport. I was surprised by how good the pizza was, especially the crust. The guy behind the counter, Michael, was pleasant and helpful. They give free refills on fountain drinks, which is a rarity at airports. If you're stuck at the airport, I would not steer you away. My only complaint is that they are stingy on the toppings, but you know... airport.

Love this place! The pizza is amazing and without a doubt some of the best in town hands down. Wether you like traditional toppings or something more unique they got you covered. Also have great wings and desserts too! The Canoli is where it's at! Aside from the food of course it's such a great spot with an even better location being downtown. You think it's just a pizza place when all of a sudden you discover the awesome bar in back where you can also enjoy your pizza. Makes for a great overall environment and atmosphere, and it also comes in clutch on the weekends where they keep cranking out pies andslices til 3 am. The long nights at the bar become even more exciting knowing that Empire is open after last call.

Great pizza for being in an airport! Good size too! Great flavor! There are two Poké Stops near it too for the nerds like me!
