Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Grill

Woodfire pizza is the best! Especially here and the service is great, the only thing I hate is the
favorite is the classic pepperoni

Service has vastly improved. Staff is on top of it today. The pork dumplings were excellent. I had the Duck taco appetizer and it was better than ever. Hubby had the grilled mahi mahi tacos and were delicious this time, last time they were a bit dry. The portions were adequate. We’re neighbors and this isn’t always our first choice but that may be changing.

Had a fantastic lunch today at Sammy’s on Sahara. Great service. Great food. We tried the beet salad, these marinated wok sesame shishito fried peppers and three types of delicious pizza — margarita, pesto and New York. I couldn’t decide which was better. Definitely worth another visit soon… And the messy Sunday is just that. But yum-​O!

The lounge is 24hrs! Great place to stop by and have a yummy bite to eat at all hours of the night! Been coming here for years, never disappoints :)

Tonite was our first time at sammy’s .Great Pizza and the best shrimp salad! And most of all mojca was the Best waitress! Most definitely will be back and recommend our friends. Thanks Mojca.

I came here for lunch one day with a friend. They offer some nice lunch specials so we each had own our personal pan pizza. The pizza was not horrible, but i was just underwhelmed, mainly because the reviews were so stellar. It was a solid pie, don’t get me wrong, but i think it was better suited as a shared appetizer rather than my main meal.
The reviews mainly mentioned the pizza so I am not aware of the authenticity or the quality of many other offerings at Sammy’s, but I will need to come back and try another meal. This restaurant is very close to me house so I really hope I can find something to my liking next time I happen to stop in. I think lunch is ideal for Sammy’s because there menu does have some nice value during that time of the day.

Tl;Dr– service sucks, it’s pretty much non-​existent, but food is okay
Since I knew I was coming here, I signed up the day before for the e-​club and got a coupon for a free pizza, with a purchase that is equal to or greater than the price of the pizza.
I came here with a few ladies after work. It was after 7 so we missed the happy hour which is daily from 4 – 6. I was surprised they don’t have cocktails, only beer and wine. We ordered the balsamic chicken salad and the red quinoa salad, and the organic arugula and pear pizza on a gluten free crust (+$ 4). The balsamic chicken salad is one of my favorites, it is
. It has grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and greens mixed together with a tasty balsamic vinaigrette. The mild cheese with the tangy dressing work so well together, the flavors make my taste buds do a little dance. The pizza had gorgonzola, arugula, pears and prosciutto. I thought it was too salty for my liking, with the salty cheese and prosciutto, but my friends ate it all up.
Our server was the worst. He was nice and all, but he forgot to bring us utensils, water and extra napkins after we asked him numerous times. I eventually had to grab utensils off the other tables and find my own napkins, not cool.
After dinner, we ordered the messy sundae to share. It comes in a large glass cup, with vanilla ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauces and whipped cream. When it arrived at our table, we grabbed our spoons and dug right in. This proved not to be an easy task though. The ice cream was as hard as a rock, so we had to wait like 10 minutes for it to soften up so we could eat it. I assume they pre-​scoop the ice cream into a glass cup and then freeze it, which probably saves time, but sucked for us. I really LOVE that balsamic chicken salad and that is honestly the only thing that keeps me coming back here.

I love Sammy’s but kinda disappointed that they changed their happy hour menu from all tapas to a select amount with limited pieces. My family and I enjoy the duck tacos, truffle fries, and lobster mac n cheese but now lobster mac n cheese is gone from happy hour and duck tacos is only two pieces. I’ll still come back and enjoy my meal with family and friends just maybe expand my horizons away from the tapas menu.

The coupon is a trick. We rarely use coupons so when we got here and thought oh great a free pizza with the order of any entrée. We had two glasses of wine DURING HAPPY HOUR and the lobster mac and cheese (fishy foul never finished it), gave the coupon yet somehow the waitress said the bill was $ 60 dollars… puzzled we asked how much the wine was during happy hour… get this $ 9 they are normally $ 11? We never said anything about the lobster fishy smell and fishy flavor because we are not nickle and dimers., so $ 36 for wine $ 14 for a 8 inch or so pizza and $ 10.25 for disgusting lobster mac and cheese. We didnt argue we said ok fine used our stupid coupon that lured us in, and paid $ 50, being it is near Christmas we left a $ 15 tip regardless thats how we are… thats well above 20% considering the awkward circumpstances that the waitress defended this bait and lure trick, she barely said thank you… we got to the parking lot and I said OH this place is getting a review.
Dont go you have been warned.

This review is for the ²⁴⁄₇ tavern part. It’s small and kinda dive-​y. But I won money playing video poker and enjoyed a decent beer. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. There’s multiple TVs. There’s also tables you can sit at. You can order food too, of course. It’s like a dive-​y Sammy’s restaurant you can gamble and smoke in. Definitely not a bad spot to kill time, have a drink, and/​or grab a late night bite.

A good selection of healthy food on the menu exactly like the other Sammy’s woodfired pizza that I’ve eaten at. This is an extremely popular restaurant for lunch that attract pairs or groups of older women. The place quickly is filled up by 11:30. Dining al fresco is very popular especially for dog owners.
I ordered three items: Mediterranean sampler, Greek salad with half chicken breast, roasted cauliflower with curry. The Greek salad took so long to come out I was ready for a check by the time it did. I asked for the check and never saw the waitress again to pick up the check so I wound up paying in cash with less tip. The food was very high quality and reasonably priced as is the other Sammy’s woodfired pizza restaurant that I frequent and the passion fruit iced tea is fantastic.
I guess if you’re not older women in groups of twos or threes you don’t get «attention» and honestly I felt as if I was ignored. For this reason I won’t return to this restaurant. I’m sure that it was just me the waitress didn’t like and that most anybody that shows up at that Restaurant gets treated well. It seemed she didn’t like me at all. Okay. Whatever. Bye Felicia.
Ask for bread to be provided and a nice bread basket will be offered to you as I witnessed everybody else around me enjoying that particular amenity.

I’m so sad! I wish I could give a better review but today’s experience was so disappointing.
I love Sammy’s! The food today was perfect and exactly as expected. This review is aimed to the poor service we received.
I am in town to visit with my mother whom I rarely get a chance to see. We came here to relax and have a nice late lunch and chat. We came in around 2 and the floor was empty. It was a perfect setting to visit and chat.
My issue is with the pressure we received from the waitress. Her name is Alexandra. She was in such a rush to push us in and out. She was very rude. As soon as we got food she seemed to be rushing to clear our table. As soon as she could she was offering us to go boxes and trying to take our empty plates. She was in such a rush for us to hand her plates that a water glass got knocked over. I asked for some more tea with an agenda to finish our visit and she pushed us to take it in plastic to go cups. After she brought us tea in plastic cups she ignored us completely. I had to yell out to her for attention to get a little more tea.
In total we were only sitting in the restaurant for under an hour of time. Our bill was nearly $ 100 and we were treated like we had no value. I see no reason to feel so pressured and rushed to leave. This really spoiled my visit with my mother and I can’t believe the disrespect during such a slow time on the restaurant floor. This was really inappropriate and I hope that no one has to endure this experience.

Ambiance is good and the drink pours are great. I had the fig and Gorgonzola flat bread, which was an interesting taste but not something I would order again. However, the menu includes other great options and they look fantastic.

Really like the gluten offerings at this restaurant. The pizzas taste fantastic, and some friends even get gluten free crusts for theirs as well because it tastes so good. The atmosphere is relaxed and a mix between casual and dressy casual. Perfect for friends, family, and dates. Or by yourself, not judging your life. (:
It’s a bit pricy though so come prepared to spend a little more than a basic sit down restaurant.

Received a gift card for here a looooong time ago and figured it was about time that I tried the place. Along with the gift card, I signed up for their E-​Club where I immediately received a coupon for a Bogo pizza. A fantastic deal, in my opinion.
We ended up getting two pizzas and an appetizer.
The app was a Mediterranean Dip Trio. It included Hummus, baba ghanoush, and Lebni cheese. My favourite out of the three was the baba ghanoush. The hummus was also good, but the Lebni cheese just tasted like a really lemony sour cream. Of course, this was my first time having Lebni cheese, so I can’t compare it to others elsewhere. I’m not saying it was bad, just not as good as the others on the trio platter.
The two pizzas we got were the Goat cheese pizza and the Burrata and Pesto pizza. Both were good. My boyfriend preferred the Burrat and Pesto, but I preferred the Goat cheese.
The pizzas aren’t large. They are about the size of a large dinner plate. We ended up taking leftovers home. Not a whole lot, but a few slices of pizza.
Overall, our experience was a good one. The food is decent and the menu has a LOT of variety. Our waitstaff was also very pleasant and constantly smiling. Will we come back? Not sure. It was good but not anything special. Perhaps during happy hour?

I was invited out to eat lunch with other coworkers because my job celebrates Administrative Professionals day. They took us all to Sammy’s Woodfired pizza and Grill up the street. I’ve heard of this place but have never ate here. It was busy with the normal lunch time crowd when we arrived, but luckily we had a reservation.
We were free to order anything (but alcohol) off the menu, so I ordered the wagyu cheeseburger with caramelized onions and a side of fries. Having never tried high quality Japanese beef, I was super excited.
The burger was really good! Cooked well done on a sesame seed toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, and the onions. Fantastic.

I’ve been coming here for years since I worked at my second real estate office, C-​21 MW, 2000-​ish, (which used to be located nearby) — how come it’s taken me so long to write a review?!
Our most recent visit was a few weeks ago, when we used my promotional Birthday Gift, the iconic Messy Sundae (ooey-​gooey caramel and fudge topped vanilla ice cream with walnuts and whipped topping; it’s one of my fave desserts of all time — yeah, it’s that good). It was a saturday and was way before the lunch rush. So, it was quiet, until the large family who kept asking for «gluten-​free» this & that arrived (Oh, I’m sure that their server was annoyed. Ok, maybe they weren’t as annoying as the family who complained about the salads being «way too big» and thus their bill was adjusted, ahem; that was on another past visit). We got a different pizza this time (we’ve tried five different ones total, over the years), and had the truffle fries (to-​die-​for romano cheese-​topped goodness). Our son loved the fries. He’s kind of a picky eater, meaning, he won’t eat it if he doesn’t like it, picky.
Service is always good. The bathroom is always clean. The rest of the restaurant grounds/​main dining area, is always clean. If you can brave it, it’s cold right now, there is seating outside, in the front. There is a bar part, too (separate — and yes, you guessed it, I’ve been to that part, too, years ago, though). And Happy Hour too. The food is solid— from the pizzas, and must mention that the mini kobe beef burgers are really yummy, too. The salads are really good, too (I wouldn’t be complaining about how big they are, either, hahaha).
It’s christmas time, and there’s a gift card promotion (Buy $ 50, Bonus $ 10 certificate), so why not get some christmas shopping done here, too? Grab a bite, try the kobe minis, along with a pizza, and get the messy sundae. Sounds like a plan.
Also has a few other locations: centennial, flamingo (9516), rainbow/​215, and green valley, too.

We have been here a million times and a million times it was a great experience.
The menu is clearly marked vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free.
Great HH! Plenty of options on drink choices and tapas type apps.
The food is always fresh and the service is always fast and friendly.
Our favs are the hummus it comes with pita but the gluten free option is lettuce wraps (butter lettuce pieces). When we order this we ask for both and they are always nice to do so. I like the lettuce and husband likes the pita.
Small pizzas you can do gluten free or regular. For the true vegan option I believe you have to select the gf option and of course the Daiya. I’m not a fan of gf or Daiya but husband has order that with mushrooms and kala olives and it was ok.
My personal fav fav fav… is the quinoa and beet salad. Not only is it yummy it’s freaking huge!!! It’s big enough for three people but I like to eat it until my jaw feels likes it’s going to fall off: D it’s yummy.
Lots of choices here. Good for groups or small groups of picky eaters because they have something for everyone.
Want to eat cotton candy for dinner??? You can also do that here… wow.

I’ve had Sammy’s a few times, usually «to go». Today I decided to have a sit down and eat. We came in just in time for Happy Hour! What are the odds of that! 3−6pm daily, half off all tapas and $ 2 off alcoholic beverages. If I didn’t forget my ID I would of taken advantage of the drinks. The tapas menu is pretty intriguing as well.
I decided on the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which was about $ 5. It was the perfect amount. Considering it is a pasta so it’s pretty heavy I decided not to get another item for myself. It had a good amount of Lobster in it. It wasn’t TOO cheesy. And the dish wasn’t as small as I thought it would be.
The beau got the garlic chicken pizza. Besides the fact that it came with mushrooms and I accidentally ate one, it was pretty delicious. I loath mushrooms! It definitely had a woodfire taste to it. It was thin crust which I loved.
Service was alright. She came and got our orders quickly but we didn’t see our waitress the rest of the time. And our check took forever to arrive. Other than that I love Sammy’s!

Holy happy hour specials, Batman!
Bookmarked this place for their HH: 4−6PM, half off tapas and $ 2 off wine or beer.
Restaurant interior is more upscale than I expected.
Menu is fairly diverse with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-​free options indicated with symbols. Tapas menu has several Mediterranean options, there are a bunch of salads, and of course, there’s pizza– if you join their mailing list, you’ll get a coupon to try a pizza for free (dine in only, with purchase).
BF and I were here for a light early dinner, got 3 tapas and a beer.
FIG & GORGONZOLA FLATBREAD: Yum, 4-​slice portion with good balance of flavors from the sweet figs, salty cheese, and mild spinach, as well as a bit of pork? Adding a sprinkle of red pepper kicked it up a notch.
PARMESAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES: Good lord these were the table favorite, served in a blanket of parmesan crumbs with a cup of dipping sauce. ‘Chokes had crunch and flavor, herb coating was light and complemented the cheese inside, which was mild instead of overpowering (as done elsewhere).
DUCK MINI TACOS: An order of 6 mini tacos, filled with 24-​hour-​marinated duck topped with cilantro, tomatoes, feta, and sour cream, HH pricing at just over $ 5? Amazeballs. I never would have combined duck and feta, but I love them both and here everything worked so well together in this dish. Fresh and flavorful!
Only thing that detracted from my visit was the service: entered and stood by hostess stand for quite a while before being acknowledged, and our server had way too many tables to herself and was quite frazzled. This was frustrating because there were easily 8 employees present, but I guess maybe they weren’t on the clock yet? As 6 o’clock got closer, business picked up and the three women mobbing the hostess stand eventually started picking up the slack.
Normally I’d dock a star for this, but despite being overwhelmed our server was polite and our food came out quickly, and was amazing.
Fabulous food, phenomenal happy hour. Even with a beer, total before tip was under $ 20. Will be coming back to try more!
