Buffalo is known for its rich, indulgent comfort food—but that doesn’t mean you can’t make smarter choices when craving your next slice. At Imperial Pizza, there’s more to the menu than deep-dish pies and saucy wings. With fresh salads, veggie-loaded pizzas, and even buffalo cauliflower, you can satisfy your cravings without going overboard.
Whether you’re sticking to a cleaner diet, looking for vegetarian-friendly options, or just want to add some greens to your plate, Imperial’s menu has more flexibility than you might think.
🥗 Fresh, Made-to-Order Salads
If you’re looking for a lighter start to your meal, Imperial offers several crisp and satisfying salads. These are made fresh and can be topped with proteins like grilled chicken or steak to turn them into full meals.
Popular picks:
- Chef Salad – a mix of veggies, ham, cheese, and hard-boiled eggs
- Tossed Salad – great as a side or base to build your own
- Chicken Finger Salad – indulgent but packed with protein, especially if ordered grilled instead of fried
Pro tip: Ask for dressing on the side to control calories and avoid soggy greens during delivery.
🌱 Veggie Pizza Options
Vegetarian? No problem. You can either build your own pizza loaded with fresh vegetables or choose a cheese pizza with light sauce and add nutrient-dense toppings like:
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Onions
- Green peppers
- Tomatoes
- Banana peppers
Looking to cut carbs? You can also order half pies or eat slices with a fork and knife, skipping the crust edges to reduce intake.
🌶️ Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
One of the most underrated items on the menu, buffalo cauliflower delivers that spicy, crispy, saucy flavor you love—without the heaviness of traditional wings. These bites are tossed in your favorite sauce (mild, medium, hot, BBQ, etc.) and served with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Why it works:
- Lower calorie than wings
- Vegetarian-friendly
- Still delivers that bold Buffalo heat
It’s a perfect side for those wanting something crunchy and flavorful but not deep-fried in oil and batter.
