Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Grill

The food was good, but the location depressed me.
Nothing really stood out about this particular Sammys.
Half of the time I didn’t even know this location existed because it was soooo tucked away into some lot.
I always get the pizza and a chopped salad.
Service is good.
Location just sucks.

They accidentally put cow cheese on my pizza (which I am allergic to), but then they felt so bad they comped out whole meal for a party of 9. Super hospitable and accommodating! Thank you Sammie’s crew.

Ok. Round 2 and the last round for me at this joke of an establishment. So from the get go, the wish-​washy manager/host’s confusion as to who to seat was an atrocity. Next, it took 10 minutes after we sat down to even see our waiter. Now, I don’t know about how the stations are ran/​numbered, but 2 different times a runner or a manager would deliver food to which wasn’t even ordered at our table. The one time the runner just left the plate at the end of the table, left and asked the waiter who the food belonged too. First of all, do the tables not have numbers on the receipts? The lack of professionalism AGAIN was disturbing. Now finally, we come to the check, where the half off happy hour tapas were YET AGAIN not marked down. The service here has finally taken it’s toll over the delicious food. I’d rather make my own pb and j than endure the simpleton staff!

I had the Margarita pizza, chopped chicken salad, and the crab & shrimp appetizer. I wish the appetizer would have come before our meal. The service was fine. The manager came to see how everything was, we told him great, except for the Trance Music which was playing too loud in the background. That was irritating, not relaxing.

Maybe its because I went here to eat a pizza and not save the rainforest or the cow that I enjoyed it! (You have to wonder about some reviewers)
Been here several times and always enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and friendly servers.
Just need to make sure you never get a booth or a table near the restrooms. If they try to seat you to the right as you walk in, refuse… The bathrooms are there and the chemical smell filters back in that area.
Against the windows is excellent to see the kitchen the people and outside.
I had the new York Pizza and my GF had a salad. The pizza was crisp and spicy, yet flavorful. Not the chemical spicy, but spice from the ingredients used. I like that.
The salad was large, fresh and filled with what was promised. Something you don’t always see elsewhere.
We both enjoyed the meal. They were busy but did not rush you out the door once you got down to the last bites. I liked that. Able to sit and relax after the meal and enjoy the company.

Pulled up to this location yesterday, and besides what Unilocal, and even the signs in the shopping center say, this location is no longer open, and has moved to Pebble/​Green Valley. They will be open in late September.

My vegen buddy claims this place is good for his «veganess».
Tasty! Dinner here tonight was very good. Megan provided excellent service and was a pleasure to deal with. Thai pizza, no longer on the menu, was still available and was delicious. The Mediterranean appetizer was excellent, the asparagus with balsamic and almonds was outstanding, and the portions were generous. Great food, the only beef is that they were out of several beers due to being in the process of moving. Sometimes the garlic at Sammy’s can be overwhelming, but tonight it was just fine! Excellent dining for the whole family, reasonably priced (a bit higher than a typical family joint, tho) and a cool place to kick it with friends.

Wonderful pizza! Great gluten free crust. Will come back for sure! Megan our sever was awesome as well!

Its not the food that made me not want to eat here ever again, its the service. Twice Ive been here and they f@*k up my order every time.
The first time I went, I asked for the glutton free crust pizza. We basically ate the whole pizza and found out later we got the regular crust. The place was pretty much empty on a week day for lunch, so why was service so slow? We had to ask several times for water and basically didnt get any.
When I asked for a box, he took my plate of leftovers and never returned. A new server came out and I asked her where is my leftovers? She said «Im sorry they threw it away»
Because I like the food so much and the alternatives that they offer I decided to give it another try.
We went again for lunch and asked for the pizza with Vegan cheese. A long dark haired woman with fluffy eyelashes was polite and cheery. But her pleasant attitude didnt mean much when, again the cheese was wrong and we ate a whole pizza with the wrong cheese. I was dissatisfied with the salad drenched in dressing that it was just overly saturated and soupy from the dressing.
After explaining to her that I was experiencing a stomach ache and was upset she gave us the wrong cheese, she didnt call for a manager. Instead she hands me a coupon for a free appetizer with a purchase of an entrée.
Why do you even offer alternatives for people who have food allergies when your servers dont even pay attention to things that are serious like that? Take it off the menu if your servers dont seem to give a rats ass.

Never. Again.
About twenty of us were here for dinner last night. It took a while for all of us to arrive, and when they took our orders, I was one of the last people at the end of the table to order. I asked for a barbecue chicken pizza, no special crust or anything.
A while later, they started to bring our orders out. It probably took close to 10 minutes with all the people, starting with the opposite end of the table. After they got down to my end of the table and got everybody else their orders, I was still waiting for mine. A few minutes later, I asked the server what happened to my order. She went to the kitchen to check, and apparently they didn’t start it. OK, I guess. Everybody else is already eating, but I can wait a while longer because they may have missed my order.
My friend had ordered the same pizza, but with a gluten free crust. She offered to trade me a piece now for one of mine later, and I gratefully accepted. At least five minutes later, the server brought out a pizza. But I realized that it was gluten free, not the standard crust. This second mistake was absolutely not acceptable.
Yes, they did finally get my order correct on the 3^rd try. But at this point, everybody else had either finished or almost finished eating, and I upset and embarrassed that I had yet to start. The pizza didn’t taste as good to me as it might have tasted normally, although I found the slice from my friend to be just average anyway. On top of this, all I got was an apology from the server, not an apology from the manager and definitely not some sort of coupon or discount to make it up to me. That would have saved them at least another star on this review.
Moral of the story: Do not take your large group here. Maybe one companion or a small group is fine, but look somewhere else if you want to make a large group happy.
It’s a real shame. I wanted to try their duck tacos during happy hour some time, but it’s not going to happen now.

Menu not filled with foods that sounded good to me.
Service sucked
Chopped chicken salad boring all lettuce
Mini burgers not even worth 11.50
I will never return to Sammy’s!!!

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant for the first time tonight, with my parents and my six year old daughter. Our server, Brandon, was one of the best servers we’ve ever had, anywhere! The service was so good that even if the food had been lackluster (which it definitely was not) we’d chalk it up to a bad night and give it another shot.
We had an Asian chicken salad and a New York pizza. The salad was absolutely delicious, with a slightly spicy dressing that was very flavorful. The pizza, which we ordered on wheat crust, had mushrooms, sausage and pepperoni, and the sauce was terrific!
My parents shared a Hawaiian pizza that wasn’t terrific, but as I’m not a huge fan of Hawaiian pizza, I may not be the best judge. They also got a pepperoni pizza to go, and I peeked into the box… and almost tried to sneak out with it! It looked and smelled FANTASTIC.
We will definitely be back to Sammy’s. My only complaint is that we didn’t discover them sooner.

We were excited to have a salad and pizza for dinner and we were quite disappointed in the food quality and service .
Sammy’s does not offer Sweet & Low or Equal as sweeteners, just Splenda and Stevia, both of which I cannot tolerate. So I had to send my iced tea back :(
The Cesar salad took 30 mins to arrive and it was THE WORST Cesar we ever had… Drowned in an awful dressing (way too much of something), limp lettuce, croutons that could break your teeth, and served on a non chilled plate… We barely ate a few bites.
Our pizza was served literally 2 minutes after our salad so we had to send it back. We waited 15 mins before someone had the thought to bring it back to our table. Oh, we added peppers to our NY pizza and were charged a $ 1 for 6 juliiene strips, SERIOUSLY!!!
And the pizza was COLD when it was returned to us .
Do not even get me started on the lousy waiter !!!
I used to like Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza but it would take a miracle to get us to return anytime soon

Close to work so how can I pass this place up. I frequent this place and really like heir food. Went today with a colleague. We split he duck tacos and I had a Caesars salad with grilled shrimp. As always food and service were both stellar! I still have not ordered pizza, just doesn’t jump out to me when looking at the menu. Someday… Maybe!

One star up!
After my most recent visit to Sammy’s, I believe they are deserving of a better rating.
As far as the food, we ordered the Kobe Beef chili, the kids’ pepperoni pizza, LaDou’s BBQ Chicken Pizza, & the Brie & Truffle Oil pizza on gluten-​free crust. My boyfriend said the chili was tasty, but thought there wasn’t much beef. All three pizzas were great. The Brie & Truffle Oil pizza is a new addition to their menu, and it was DELICIOUS! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it…
I still don’t care for the location, I wish they had more visual marketing to show they’re back there with all the offices. I still think that the tapas are pretty pricey (unless you get there for half-​off happy hour). Regardless, we loved the new revamped menu (labeling all vegetarian, vegan, & gluten-​free items), and service was awesome!
Thank you for replying to my previous review. We’ll be back. Hopefully during happy hour!

What I enjoyed the most:
Barbeque chicken pizza on wheat dough — they’re perfect together
Other dishes were delicious too but not my favorite:
New York Style pizza — needed more mushrooms to balance out the salami, pepperoni, and Italian sausage
Grilled shrimp salad — very good salad that accompanied our pizza, will definitely order it again!
What dish they can improve on:
Duck tacos — go easy on the sour cream!
Service:
We came in a few minutes after happy hour had ended but our waiter was gracious enough to give us our first round happy hour prices!
Why they didn’t get four stars:
No beers on tap!

Met up with a high school friend who now resides in Nevada. We had just finished a tour of Hoover Dam (because we’re nerds) and decided on grabbing dinner in Henderson somewhere. So we were left with Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza. I don’t know how this came to be the only choice. But seeing as to how I’ve never had it before, I was a go.
Had the LaDou’s BBQ Chicken pizza. Not bad at all. In fact, I finished the whole pizza minus one and minus the crust. I think I may need to give this place a second try in California.

**Summary**
— Flavor — The pizza was average. Nothing gourmet.
— Price — It just seemed from the menu that they were trying to squeeze every last penny out of you. For a pizza they had the following options: $ 1 more for whole what crust, $ 2 for artisan thin crust, $ 3 for gluten free and $ 2 for vegan cheese. It just seemed excessive.
**Ordered**
— $ 12.50 New York Style Pizza — The pizza was decent but it just seemed over priced. It tasted just like domino’s with the same toppings only greasier (
).
**Recommendations**
— I wouldn’t really recommend this place. It’s ok food at above average prices.

I enjoy Sammy’s. It’s a good, casual locals place. It’s like a Chili’s or Applebee’s without the poor food and bad décor. And they have decent happy hour specials.
My three favorite things are the hummus (so yummy!), mac ‘n’ cheese, and goat cheese pizza.
The main thing here, obviously, is the pizza. And I have never been disappointed with any of the pizzas here.
The service has always been pretty good. And they’ve been quite accommodating when I’ve gone in with a large group.
The food isn’t a culinary revolution or anything, but it’s good.

Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza in Henderson sits along the back of the shopping center that holds Joe’s Crab Shack and Barley’s Casino. Walking in, I get the feeling that this is definitely a family kind of restaurant, where you spend a simple dinner out with the family on Sunday evenings.
We both decided on their pizza for dinner. (But did start off with bread and butter, it’s upon request.)
* Vegetarian Pizza «Grilled vegetables including eggplant, onions, zucchini, bell peppers and red onions with fontina cheese, roasted garlic sauce and roma tomatoes.» ($ 9.95) — It was a good pizza, although I wished the garlic sauce was heavier, it was only faintly there. Some mushrooms would make it that much better!
* New York Style Pizza «Our homemade tomato sauce with sauteed mushrooms, pepperoni, salami, and Italian sausage.» ($ 10.95) — The Husband tried to order this with their Artisan thin crust for $ 2 more, but the waitress didn’t really suggest it. She said it was cracker thin, so he decided to order it as is. It came out just fine, and the thinness was good too. His pizza was saltier than mine, and definitely had more kick. I overheard a couple of neighboring tables order this same pizza too. It must be a favorite!
Service was good. The waitress refilled the Husband’s soda without having to ask, although I could have used a refill on my water. She did come by and check on us and she was friendly, so we didn’t really have any issues with service here.
3.5 stars.
They have a happy hour daily from 4 pm to 6 pm; at the bar only on Fridays and Saturdays. Half-​price tapas and house wine.
They also have a Tasty Bytes club.
A kids’ menu is offered for those 10 and under, with items under $ 6 (and that includes a soda or milk).
