EMPIRE LOUNGE & PIZZERIA – Italian
Empire Lounge & Pizzeria is a full-service restaurant and bar on South Dixie Highway in the South Miami area, combining a pizza-and-Italian-American menu with indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and a hookah lounge. The kitchen turns out plain, margherita, deluxe, and four-cheese white pizzas alongside calzones, spaghetti with meatballs, salads, wraps, subs, and a bacon cheeseburger, available for dine-in or takeout into the late evening. Reach-in coolers, a walk-in cooler and freezer, and an ice machine documented across several state health inspections back up the kitchen's own description of a genuinely working pizza-and-pasta operation, not a drinks-only bar.
