My First Food Review – Empire Slice House

I normally don’t do food reviews. Mainly because I love all things food, so what’s the point? Today I made my 10^th trip to the Empire Slice House in the Plaza District of Oklahoma City with a great friend of mine. He bought, so that’s why he is a GREAT friend, not just a GOOD friend.

There are lots of new trendy hipster restaurants popping up all over OKC and, frankly, this is one of them. But what makes Empire Slice House different? They got it right! Yes, they are in the trendy part of town with trendy wait staff (aka awesome wait staff) but the main reason is they got it right. They serve pizza, really good pizza and beer. That’s it! Oh sure, they have the obligatory salad or something like that for all the healthy eaters out there. But mainly they serve really good pizza at a really good price, and beer

The one non-pizza/beer item that is a must-try is the garlic knots; garlic bread dripping in butter with marinara sauce.  If you are here, you are probably not watching your carb intake, so go ahead and try some garlic knots with your pizza and beer.

They serve the typical traditional pizzas like cheese and pepperoni but their specialty pizzas are the ones that set them apart from other pizza places. Check out the full menu HERE. Each day they select 4-5 flavors for “by-the-slice” ordering. If you order off the specials, you can be in and out as fast as you need. I recommend staying around to absorb a little of the atmosphere and have a Coop Elevator Wheat

The bottom line is Empire Slice House is a really cool place to be seen. It has some awesome retro music themed wallpaper/art on the wall. It has a really nice patio seating area. The wait staff is top notch and the beer selection is premium. However, if you are like me, none of that matters if the food isn’t good.

The pizza here is REALLY GOOD.
