Well this is a bummer. According to their Facebook page Empire will be closing after the holidays. From the owner, Todd…
“For those who have heard the story of how we got into the Mom & Pop Pizza biz, I apologize, I must repeat it. It was way back in 2008 and Donna & I were in the housing industry with a baby on the way. The housing industry was on death’s door so I decided to get back into Restaurant Management. I could not find a job paying half of what I was making just a few years before. So, I said, heck, I’ll do it for myself. It was tough, but we made it through the Great Recession and Obama’s warfare against small business, thanks to Empire. Well…Times have changed. Donna is back into Real Estate and killing it and I am heading back to Restaurant Management! We will be closing Empire State Pizza & Growlers at the end of 2019. We will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas day but if we can hold onto staff we would like to stay open until New Year’s Eve.”
So it’s not too late (but it almost is) to get yourself some great draft beer and some of the best wings in Dunwoody. Get the Thai Peanut!!
