Empire Szechuan is a nice quiet little Chinese restaurant just north of the heart of downtown Orlando. It is not very busy so the service is good and the food is made fresh.  The prices are reasonable. The only thing I didn’t really like about the place was the fact that they don’t have fountain sodas.

The great thing about NYPD Pizza is their lunch specials. Monday through Friday from 11am to 4pm, NYPD Pizza offers a different specialty slice for only $1. And, if you eat lunch there 7 times in a calendar month you get a free 14 inch pizza. I did this both to earn the free pizza and to try their different specialty slices. At the end of the month I was pretty sick of their pizza. The pizza is good but not so good that I would eat there several times in a month. I wouldn’t even want to eat at my favorite pizza place that often. The pizza is good, and some of the specialty pizzas, like the barbecue chicken pizza or Hawaiian pizza are really good.

I think their loyalty program hurts them more than it helps. Sure, it got me in the door 7 times in one month, but I have only been back once in the past few months because I’m sick of their pizza. If they really want to have a loyalty program, they should just do the usual free lunch every 10th visit.
