Imperial Pizza in Secane is exactly the kind of old-school pizza joint that feels like stepping back to simpler times. This compact spot isn’t about frills or trendy menus – it’s a straightforward, no-nonsense place specializing in classic, generously sized 16-inch pizzas and solid Philly cheesesteaks. If you’re after a slice with a bit of nostalgia, Imperial delivers pies with a sauce that’s less sweet than the usual chain fare, and a crust that’s often described as having a sandy texture, giving it a subtle uniqueness that locals around Delaware County have come to appreciate.

The atmosphere inside is cozy and busy, with limited parking out front, so best plan accordingly. It’s not a dine-in restaurant for lingering, but rather a pickup haven where people swing by for reliable pizza or a hearty cheesesteak – a favorite for those who want a straightforward, well-seasoned sandwich on a chewy Liscio’s roll. The cheesesteaks here don’t come loaded with toppings or extras unless you ask, focusing instead on a balanced, grilled flavor of the meat. Despite the small space and no-frills environment, the staff exude a friendly, down-to-earth vibe that adds to the experience.

Ideal for casual gatherings or even larger parties, Imperial is accustomed to handling group orders for birthdays, weddings, or school events— a nice bonus for locals who want to feed a crowd without fuss. This spot runs on cash-only, which fits its unpretentious style and can be a nostalgic nod to pizza traditions of the past.

If you’re in the neighborhood looking for a straightforward, hearty meal that reliably satisfies, particularly in the evening or late at night after a bonfire or a casual hangout, Imperial Pizza hits that spot. It’s not about gourmet twists but about delivering solid, familiar flavors with a no-BS attitude that resonates well with longtime residents and those who appreciate a reliably good pie without the hype.

I ordered two no frills Cheesesteak. No S&P, mayo, ketchup or fried onions! This is ONE OF THE BEST steaks I've had in a while. Great flavor, plenty of meat, the roll has a great chew and not it wasn't overpriced! There are no fries (not a deal breaker). The place is... compact and parking can be dodgy but it was worth it just for this sandwich. I am the Portnoy of Cheesesteaks (Minus anyone knowing who I Am) so you can trust these taste buds ;-)

Just an old school pickup only pizza place. Small menu and they do one thing very well. It's the most affordable pie in town and I would argue probably the best. Unlike the larger chains, they don't fill their sauce with sugar. There's one size. It's a 16-in large if you order plain or pepperoni The pies are $11.95 and 12.95 respectively. There's other stuff to order but I don't think I've ever done so. Cans are still a dollar, apiece bottles are more. The people are kind, efficient and helpful. At a time when you can't walk out of the house often for less than $40, it's a really nice option to have.

The BEST pizza this side of New York !! All others in Delco are the minor leagues. Also price is half of the "fancy dancy" so called pizzeria. People are friendly, no BS. Thanks Imperial , please don't ever change.

Is it the best pizza I’ve ever had? No. But the whole experience and nostalgia is amazing. The pizza is good too! Unique…sandy bottom. Who knew Delco had a beach? The old school menu…the KI3 in their phone number…just takes me back to simpler times in life. I love cash only! They were there for my buddies and I sitting around a bonfire at 2am. And it’s always 10 minute pickup/45 minute delivery, as far as I remember. This is the epitome of Delco. It’s hard to explain if you aren’t from here. KI3-9393 is a number I will remember for my entire life.

Different Cheesesteak #1253. $9.95 cash only. You know I love $9.95. Old School Pizza shop. I got a cheesesteak with fried onions. I saw Liscio’s boxes so I am assuming a Liscio’s roll. The meat had a very good old school grill flavor. I was watching the grillman. He spread the meat out while it cooked. All the meat got to touch the grill and it all got flavor. Decent amount of cheese. The fried onions got a little lost. $9.95 I am not going to complain. I took my cheesesteak to Shipbottom Brewing in Swarthmore. That was a great idea. I love my beer. $.25 for the parking meter. Plenty of room at the bar and a nice clean bathroom.
