I eat pizza all over the world, and this may be one of the best NY style pizza’s outside Brooklyn. It’s better than several classic pies I’ve had in NY. I’m kinda floored right now. What a crazy pleasant surprise! Can’t believe nobody is talking about this place in the pizza scene. Best kept secret.

SAM Pizza is a fantastic, family-friendly spot with delicious food and a welcoming vibe. The staff is super nice, and it’s a great place to hang out. The pizza? So good! Perfect crust and fresh toppings. Whether you love a classic Margherita or want to try the tasty Brazilian flavors, you won’t be disappointed. They also have lots of appetizers and are always adding new, delicious options. The bar is awesome—definitely try the strawberry and passion fruit caipirinha! With live music on some nights and great service, SAM Pizza is the perfect place for a fun night out. Highly recommend!

Sampizza Bar with its new name and ownership is better than ever. I ordered a vegetarian pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The fresh ingredients and amazing flavors were a great way to start the new year for us. From the moment I placed the order on the phone, they were very nice and polite. When I picked up my order, the guy who was there was very friendly and kept thanking me for my order. I hope they will thrive and continue to provide us with delicious food. All the best to you Sampizza Bar! Sincerely, Rosie

Top notch authentic Brazilian pizza joint with offerings for all. My wife’s favorite food is Paolista style pizza. There are few and far between places that do it like these guys do and it’s a breath of fresh air to have a place like this in the area. Not only do they satisfy my wife’s cravings for home but they have pizzas, apps and other entrees that will appeal to your basic gringo friends too. A true family style bar and grill that makes you fell welcome every time you stop in.
