Imperial Pizzeria & Restaurant

This was always my go to spot when I lived nearby. They have a great selection and big delicious specialty slices. Some items are pricey here, but I’ve always enjoyed what I’ve ordered.

I think best pizza around. Their specialty slices are a must have. A Little expensive but worth it. Seating around is a nice size, 2 large tvs on the wall. alot of parking. I rarely eat pizza but when I have a taste for it this is the place I go.

Excellent stuffed cold cut pizza, they always have great selection of other pizza also and we love the potato crochets. Food is always fresh and staff is friendly.

I enjoy the food here but tonight I witnessed something that should never happen. All I can say is the employees need to retrained on food handling and also I do not appreciate my zeppolies tasting like Garlic because they were heated up in the pan the pan they heat up garlic knots in.

I’m giving four stars only because of the price. The service and food is on point. But it’s a bit expensive. We always order penne ala vodka parmigiana and it’s perfect!.. My go to for this dish.

Been eating pizza here for many years. Great selection of pies and slices to choose from. My favorite is the bruschetta which is a Sicilian slice with no cheese, but loaded with diced tomatoes and fresh basil. Super crisp crust. It’s the perfect pizza. I like that they serve it on a real plate with a knife and a fork. The pepperoni pinwheels are superb, as are the rice balls which are a meal in themselves.
The atmosphere is casual and relaxing. I feel like I’m eating with family when I’m here. I will be a customer for a long time. :-)

I’m disappointed with the experience my family and I had recently. I have been to Imperial in the past and enjoyed it. Things must have changed because this was not the Imperial I remember. Nonetheless my issues are with the service and the environment. We arrived a little after 7:00pm on a Friday night, well after «peak time.» The service was slow, the waitress was not very personable, and we were not checked on throughout our time with normal frequency. This was frustrating because we were one of maybe 3 groups eating in the restaurant. I had to pull the waitress and bus boy over on numerous occasions for napkins and more water. I could be wrong, but a few times I was made to feel like I was annoying the waitress. That should never happen. In addition our pizza took over a half hour to come out. To be fair the waitress kept updating us, but there was no apology for the wait nor an explanation. We had two small children with us, so our frustration level was inherent. We know we made the choice to being children out to dinner, however there could have been more consideration given to our situation.
More alarming were the frequency of what my wife and I believed to be fruit flies around the table. This started the minute we arrived and lasted throughout dinner. By rights we should’ve gotten up right in the beginning and walked out. When I asked for the check I confronted the waitress about this. I am paraphrasing her response here nonetheless she said «I know. It’s the time of the year for them. We have the guy come in every night.» I’m not in the extermination business but, that’s a blow-​off answer at best. While it may or may not be the time of year, I can guarantee I can eat in 10 other restaurants and not have that issue. Having «the guy» come in is an attempt to mask the problem, not solve it. The presence of fruit flies is a problem with the sanitation and cleanliness of the restaurant.
It pains me to post this for two reasons. The pizza we ordered was actually really good. Also I’ve eaten here with family in the past, and that part of my family enjoys the restaurant. Call me picky if you want, however, slow service and unsanitary conditions are unacceptable to me. Perhaps this was a bad night. Going forward, I’m not interested in finding out though.

they have the best Sicilian slice and the regular everything here is amazing :)

Not as good as in the past at all. Soup was watery and sauce was bland. Very pricey for not great food.

Used to really love this place but it seems if you walk in for a couple of slices the pizza just isn’t that great unless it’s ordered fresh as a whole pie. As well the service behind the counter is just slow and terrible. They barely heated up our slices — a proper time in the oven would of helped greatly in reviving the dying pizza. The one favorite here though is the american cold cut stuffed slice. If you do come here do yourself a favor and just order one of those and warm it up at home in your own oven for a decent amount of time it’s awesome and one slice is a meal with itself.

Haven’t been here in while. I love coming here. The food is always good. Been coming here for years. Love the large selection of pizzas. They are one of the few places that have zeppolies The men behind the counter are always nice but the lady should smile and be more friendly.

Imperial is our family favorite for take out and dine in. Service is friendly and efficient. Food is consistently good. Prices on par with other similar restaurants with very reasonable pasta and chicken nights. It’s a rare week we don’t get take out or dine in at our favorite Italian restaurant. Had pizza from other local places but Imperials consistent quality makes it our choice.
In April we again ordered our usual order of one plain and one Sausage large pie. Usual time of 20 minutes. When we went to pick it up the order again wasn’t correct. There was no sausage pie. We could wait another 20 minutes or have a meat pie (Looked like shredded Stake-​Ums and tasted like dog food). This was not the first time this happened. Enough is enough so the next time we went to a different pizzeria and had 2 great pies. Reluctantly we no longer patronize Imperial Pizza.

My current favorite pizza place on Long Island. I drive from mastic beach just to eat here. The place is very comfortable and the service is great. The pizza is just simply delicious! The regular slice is perfectly crispy and very large slices. But imperial really stands out with its specialty slices. My favorite is the cold cut pizza! I’m not a big fan of cold cut sandwiches but this pizza is awesome! So much flavor you have to try it! Also my other favorite is the stuffed crust pizza, just a regular slice but the crust is filled with cheese it’s so good. There are so many different specialty pizzas I visit this place often and never leave hungry or broke and always leave satisfied!

This place is terrible the eggplant parm raw went back like a fool ordered a large pie with extra cheese aweful I think dominos would have been better. For a NY pizza place its a shame.
They probably don’t use quality ingredients like Roma cheese and such they don’t even deserve one star
The food is very pricey too for top dollar it should be awesome Not Recommend

As always the best specialty slices. The prices are fair for the quality delicious food that is served. Enjoy going every week for lunch. There’s more to this place than regular pizza slices. Don’t leave without ever trying any of their specialty slices.

Came here with my girlfriends. The pizza slices are HUGE!!! They also have all kinds of wonderful pizza slices I haven’t seen anywhere else. I picked out an eggplant parm slice. It was delicious. Eggplant parm on pizza is a wonderful wonderful thing! The eggplant was cooked well, the cheese, sauce and eggplant ratio were put together properly. I also sampled the garlic knots. They were different from your average garlic knot. There was no greasy goodness, they were more natural, not overly cooked, not too soft, just right. This place is the godilocks of pizza places everything seemed to be good and just right. Would come here again!

Went here today on a whim, hadn’t been here in a year or so now. The sauce was terrible and the pizza was fairly bland. I wholeheartedly recommend Stella’s on Wellwood, Phil’s in Massapequa, and Raimo’s in Amityville over Imperial at this point.
Imperial REALLY went downhill since we’ve last been here. Don’t bother.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this pizzeria. I think they do put out a good pizza but they are pricey. Also they run out of pizzas quickly and once out they do not make more, your just S.O.L The staff is ok some times there can be a little too much testosterone and they puff themselves up. There’s another pizza place called Mario’s which I hear is better and I will check them out.

Went in for a bbq slice which i think are really good there. They didnt have any so i settled on a grandma slice, which looked good. Now, I had 5 dollars in my pocket, so I also got 6 little pepperoni bites. I dunno bout you, but I figured 4 dollars and change for this order, one slice (no toppings) and 6 little pieces of dough with ONE pepperoni in them. The guy at the counter tells me, $ 7.01! I didnt show any emotion (although i was pretty put off) and i handed him my debit card. He then is visibly mad that i was paying with a debit card! like its my fault his crap is overpriced. The slice was decent, but I dont care if gold is sprinkled on top, 7 dollars for that order is ree-​goddamn-​diculous… keep your money and head straight to Dominics on 35^th st just south of sunrise. Food is better, service is waaaay better, and the prices are more than fair. Dominics 4 life.

I got the cheese stuffed crust pizza which was good. The crust was exactly as I envisioned it, but it could have used some sauce. My 2^nd slice was an all sauce pizza. This one was very flavorful except the pizza wasn’t that hot. Of course part of the reason is that I ate this slice second, but I always find that they don’t leave there pizza in the oven long enough. An extra minute of waiting would have lead to a 4 start rating.
