Let’s Talk about Empire Slice House Tulsa

by | May 5, 2022

Alright, let’s talk about a sweet Tulsa downtown pizza spot!!! Empire Slice House on N Main is it! Everytime I do a pizza review, someone gives them a shout out. Truth be known, I’ve tried going another time, but had a hard time finding it, so GPS is your friend here. So what’s the address Steve? Google it lazy ass! I can hear it now. You already put N Main down, wouldn’t it have been easier to add the address than write a whole damn paragraph? You make a great point, but now we are talking about principalities!!!

Let’s start by saying it’s downtown and you are going to run into hippies, and Empire had the whole gamut! The smiley ones with pink hair, the gals dressed in black with face piercings who roll their eyes at you, the serious mature silver haired ladies in pant suits, the skinny guys with scraggly beards and beanies, and my favorites, the dudes with beards and man buns! All of their bathrooms are even unisex( individual rooms) these mofos are tolerant of everything but a bad pizza! By the way, I’m not talking shit, just painting a picture. I’ll add they also have cool dacor, with an 80’s and 90’s atmosphere. Anyone who has posters of Tupac, The Goonies, Nirvana, E.T. and Aerosmith in the same place is cool in my book! Yeah that’s right you hippies, this old guy just said you were cool. What are you going to do about it?!?

Now the food! Let’s start out with the garlic knots! They were big and fluffy, and smelled amazing. The garlic, butter and herbs were just right. Pulling it apart, I was impressed. A crisp outside and tender in the middle. The marinara was also tremendous. 

Next is the pizza. You have two options. Slices, or a 20 inch pie. They also have 10 inch gluten free options, but we won’t talk about that. Sure it’s healthier, but is life worth living without gluten?

I got the Notorious P.I.G. What a cool name, right? And nothing says I’m not a hippie more than a 20 inch pie loaded with porktastic goodness! And it was great. The toppings were tremendous, and of great quality. I especially loved the sausage (watch it pervert). It was different from any other I have seen. But what was better, was the crust. It was literally perfect. Maybe the best pizza crust in Tulsa. The outside had a nice buttery crispness to it. The inside is warm, soft and supple (watch it perverts). Once I got through the pizza, I would savor the crust. Eating half plain, and the other half with ranch! Yeah I used ranch, what of it? What can I say, I’ve been okiefied. Only on the crust though and not the pizza!!

The service was great too. My cup was never empty. My Grandma used to say I was an asshole and a bull in a china shop (lovingly of course, this probably explains a lot). While getting all animated, I knocked over a full cup of Diet Dr Pepper. It was all over the table and the wife (watch it perverts). The server noticed this immediately, got it wiped up, brought us more napkins and refilled the drink. She was amazing.  

I would call Empire Slice House a top Tulsa pizzeria, if you love great pizza, you have to give them a try. If nothing else, for the atmosphere and crust… yum.
