Master Critic Review
Empire Express Pizza & Wings
7.4
No-frills NY-style delivery spot operating since 1999 that locals depend on for dependable late-night pizza and notably praised honey garlic wings. The focus here is function over form—crispy crust, juicy wings, open past midnight most nights. Serves its purpose well when you need reliable comfort food delivered.
Must-Try Dishes:
Honey Garlic Wings, Buffalo Hot Wings, Cheese Pizza Slice

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual takeout-focused pizza shop, not a date destination. Basic counter-service setup geared toward quick meals and late-night orders rather than romantic dining.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - no reservations needed or accepted. Walk in and order at the counter. Open very late (until 1:30am weekdays, 2am weekends), making it ideal for late-night cravings.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - simple menu with pizza, wings, and burgers that kids enjoy. Casual atmosphere with no fuss. Good for quick family meals, though limited info on specific kid amenities.
Is it good for groups? Functional for casual groups grabbing food - the menu variety (pizza, wings, subs, pasta) works for different tastes. Not a sit-down group dining destination, better for takeout orders for gatherings.
Is there outdoor seating? No confirmed outdoor seating - primarily a delivery and takeout operation with limited dine-in. Call ahead to confirm current seating options.
