Imperial Pizza
Inside Imperial Pizza
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.
