Spotlight on Empire Pizza & Bar: Rock Hill’s 2024 Best Pizza Restaurant
Founded in 2009 by the Doulaveris family, Empire Pizza & Bar began as a humble pizzeria and has grown into a local favorite, now boasting six locations. Known for its New York-style pizza—available by the slice or whole pie—Empire serves up much more than pizza. With an extensive menu of sandwiches, wings, salads, desserts, and even a full bar featuring local beers on tap, it’s the ultimate destination for food, drinks, and fun.
Empire Pizza stands out with its late-night offerings, serving up hot slices of cheese or pepperoni pizza through their front window until 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, watching the game, or enjoying the patio, Empire Pizza delivers an unforgettable experience.
A Commitment to Quality and Community
Since its founding, Empire Pizza has been committed to offering the highest-quality ingredients and maintaining the authentic charm of a classic pizzeria. Their menu features crowd-pleasers.
Empire’s dedication to creating a warm, family-friendly atmosphere makes it more than just a restaurant—it’s a community gathering place. From casual weeknight dinners to late-night cravings, Empire Pizza is a go-to spot for locals who value great food and friendly service.
Serving the Rock Hill and York County Community
With six locations across the region, Empire Pizza & Bar is firmly rooted in the local community. They’ve been a part of Rock Hill’s dining scene, earning a reputation for quality and consistency. As they continue to grow, Empire remains dedicated to providing exceptional food and fostering a welcoming environment for all who walk through their doors.
Why Empire Pizza & Bar Stands Out in Rock Hill
Empire Pizza & Bar has earned its title as Best Pizza Restaurant in Rock Hill for a reason. Customers can’t get enough of their fresh, flavorful pizzas and the inviting atmosphere that keeps them coming back. Here’s what makes them stand out:

- Unique Creations: Try the Elote Pizza, a roasted corn slice that’s truly unforgettable.
- Late-Night Cravings: Open until 3 AM on weekends, Empire is always ready to satisfy your late-night pizza fix.
- Full Bar & Patio: Enjoy local beers on tap, sports on TV, and live music on the patio for the ultimate hangout experience.
