I would not recommend Sam's Pizza. Not only is the bartender very rude, but this is the kind of pizza you get when you order food. Pool table is nice though!

They really put on a lot if topping, especially the meat Marvel and Taco pizza. Parking is difficult you have to find a lot where there isn't permit parking and then there is parking meters. But once navigating the parking you will be rewarded with a wonderful pizza.

Wow, if you plan on ordering a 10" pizza and expect to eat it all alone, good luck. I got the Taco pizza and my husband got the carnivore with a ton of meats with Canadian bacon, sausage and pepperoni. The toppings were excessively plentiful and delicious, however, I couldn't finish even half! We got the thin crust, which was crispy the way I like. And, we got the garlic toast, which was also excellent. The next time around, we will split a 10" rather than ordering 2 pizzas that we expected to be personal sized. It was a bit pricey, but the food was great!

The pizza is amazing! I'm from Chicago and it's hard to get good pizza. I miss home but it's a pretty nice place. It's like very nice vibe in there. Good specials.

I have ordered two times this year, delivery. The last one was so bad because of delivery driver I went through my records. Contacted GrubHub and they said a Sam's employee decided to deliver instead of a GrubHub person. It's unfortunate I can never order from here again.

Stopped in last Friday with my 6yr old son before the Iowa vs Penn st. meet. Put in order at 5:40pm for myself and my son. 7pm rolls around and still NO food and waitress had not been back even for refills!! Ask to speak to a manager, male, beard, white guy, he seems clueless as to what's going on. Finally at 7:20pm our food arrives at our table, ice cold, and boxed in to GO boxes!! Absolutely worst pizza ever tasted by FAR!! Even my 6yr old son who being from Chicago LOVES pizza said it tasted like cardboard!! Complete waste of our 2 hours before going to the wrestling dual!! Avoid at all cost!

Pizza was delicious, but it was slow. I believe our waitress was new but did a pretty good job. My family raved about the calzones!!
Just had a large Chicago style Sam’s Pizza delivered. We order with mushrooms, onions, spinach and sausage. It was perfect - hot, on time, and so so good! We’re been eating Sam’s Pizza for over 30 years and it never disappoints!

Happened to stop in on trivia night and had a blast. Food and drink was food and reasonably priced. Even blanketed in snow they were open and friendly. Our waitress was very attentive and courteous. Next time I'm in town i will stop in again and strongly recommend this establishment to others. Parking in the rear was available and the rear entrance was very easy to find.

Excellent pizza and fast service. The pizza is more of a New York style, at least the one I had. It was great, fresh and hot, just what a pizza should be. The green olives tasted delicious. The cheese and pepperoni were baked onto it with perfection. The pizza was plenty big enough and was great because it also had some smaller slices.It also included the legendary Noidavoider! Great stuff!
