Empire Pizza

08/24/2026

As many of you know, Empire Pizza is under new ownership and will soon be reopening as The Bucket Tavern.

We know this has been your neighborhood spot for many years, and we want to keep it that way!! We're just givin' the old place a little love first. Don't worry- there's still pizza, booze and questionable decisions.

Thank you to everyone that supported Empire Pizza over the years- we hope you'll come along for the ride with us.

We've created a new page for The Bucket where you can join us on this next chapter and where we'll be sharing all the reopening updates. (it will be soon!)

Go follow The Bucket Tavern on Facebook and Instagram!!

Same dive bar mindset. Still great pizza. Just a new Bucket to drink from.
