A Late-Night Find Near Yale
Some of the best meals happen when you least expect them. That’s exactly how we discovered Pizza Empire, located at 16 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT 06511, just a short walk from the Courtyard by Marriott New Haven at Yale. It was late, we were hungry, and we needed something satisfying before calling it a night. Pizza Empire turned out to be the perfect find.
The restaurant has a casual, welcoming atmosphere — the kind of neighborhood pizza shop where you instantly feel at ease. The smell of freshly baked dough and bubbling cheese fills the air as soon as you walk in. Despite the late hour, the staff greeted us warmly and made sure we felt welcome.
Friendly Service and Fast Turnaround
Even close to closing time, service at Pizza Empire New Haven was on point. The staff was friendly and efficient, handling every order with a smile. Our pizza slice came out hot within minutes — no delays, no fuss, just great service. That kind of genuine hospitality makes a real difference, especially for travelers or guests coming from nearby hotels.
The Perfect Slice
The pizza itself lived up to its reputation. The crust was crisp and lightly charred, the cheese melted just right, and the sauce had that signature tang that New Haven pizza lovers crave. It was simple, authentic, and absolutely hit the spot. Whether you grab a slice to go or dine in, it’s clear the team at Pizza Empire takes pride in doing the basics exceptionally well.
