Great local business serving up very good pizza and sides. Fun to watch the pizza maker do his craft in the window.

Saturday night 6 pm. place was full, service was awful. Everyone was looking around for drinks, refills, boxes, checks, food? The pizza was tasty. Sorry to say, based on service never coming back, based on others reactions waiting I don't think they coming back either. Money walking out the door. I almost got up and walked out after being seated, wish I had. What a train wreck. They are working hard just way under staffed. read more

Delicious food, great service and welcoming restaurant. Recommend the bread sticks too! :)

Sammy's is one of my favorite pizza locations in all of Fargo. The ambiance inside harkens back to the classic pizzeria, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service is top notch. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a culinary institution of Fargo. read more

Great authentic pizza. They use the same oven as they did since they opened which is what makes them so good. They twirl their crust and they are just very petite about their pizzas. I've eaten there for years and have never made me a bad pizza. read more

Does pizza was pretty decent however I would do wish that it was a little thicker crust. I would rate this pizza place to six out of 10. read more

We were served by Michael who was amazing by the way just to have someone who had a handlebar mustache come right behind him to ask us exactly the same things. Michael was very quick to assist us with our seating and order, checked on us often, and it was great to see how he was interacting with the other guests. The other guy was creepy and didn't seem very friendly or personable. Almost seemed as if he was trying to watch over Michael's shoulder at his every move. We left a large tip and found out after the fact that Michael received none of that tip. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise. When i walked in i had no idea it was the first place to serve pizza in North Dakota. They have a photo of it hanging on the wall. It was all the way back in 1956. The pizza was super yummy and i love that they braid the crust. I've never seen that before and it gave my crust some flair. The stuff was super inviting and nice and the pizza came out quick and tasted delicious. Thanks. Next time I'm in town I'll stop by again for some more great food and memories. read more

I have lived on Fargo my entire life and never been to Sammys. We had company last weekend and one of our family members likes to try pizza in every new town he visits. We had been meaning to try Sammys so this was the perfect opportunity. We ordered the house special and a pepperoni (this being the "pizza connoisseurs" choice...lol) It was delish! Can't believe I've been missing out. Definitely will be revisiting and have been craving the pizza ever since! read more

Intrigued by the smells, we stopped here for a dinner. We ordered a small garden salad and a sausage pizza. The salad was a boring iceberg lettuce salad, but its fine. We didn't come for the pizza. The pizza, what I hoped was going to be outstanding, left we disappointed. I had such high hopes knowing this place had been around for years. The sausage lacked vibrance and was relatively blan. The cheese was basic cheese, the onions were soggy. The sauces lacked flavor and was so boring. The crush was decent, but it could not hold up the pie enough. The decor was dated and basic, but that is just fine. The staff seemed very friendly and passionate about the shot. Would I go again, probably not. I felt like there was nothing special about his place at all and the pizza did not leave me wanting more. read more

I would give 0 star if available. I was visiting Fargo and decided to stop in about 2pm today for a pizza. I was alone, looking forward to sitting down and enjoying a highly reviewed meal. Well, they refused to seat me stating I could take out only. Guess they can keep their pizza. Good or not? Guess I will never know. read more

This was a small casual pizza shop. Staff was friendly & helpful. I stoped in by myself to get a small Togo order, but Changed to dine because if the friendly staff. Not many choices for small orders, but great for groups. Pizza is made well, ingredients could be a little better quality. Salad was on the larger side, pretty basic iceberg. I think during these times of dealing with Covid reopening they are doing there best. My only complaint is I asked my server if the mushrooms were fresh & was told they were, so I Had it added as a extra topping. It was caned mushrooms which I do not like. I did tell them when I was taking care of the bill & was given the explanation that the server was new, & apologized for the for the mix up. read more

My family got food poisoning a number of years ago. I wasn't asking for Mo yea return but called to let them know. They refused to believe it. The cheese of the table was bad. read more

The food was amazing it's pizza but really good they work fast price is average for pizza 10/10 would recommend

Simple but delicious! Sammy's will not disappoint! The 3 meat is the perfect blend of cheese and toppings.

Our favorite pizza place in an ocean of possibilities! With so many pizza joints to choose from in the F/M area, we so often come back to Sammy's! It's really the best...bar none. Family owned and operated located in the heart of downtown Fargo on Broadway, this place is a great. Small and cozy, yet you feel secluded enough when you're in there that it doesn't seem like people are all on top of you. The employees are friendly and remember you when you walk in (and for us, remember by order 'cause we've been there so much)! They serve a thinner style of pizza with great ingredients. The sausage they make and prepare themselves and the sauce is super tasty! You can tell that they take their time in preparing your pizza, because each piece has the toppings that you ordered -- not many places have the wherewithal to evenly distribute your toppings. The prep station is in the front and open to the diners and those that walk by outside, which I always find to be a nice touch with pizza places, as it adds to the ambiance. So, next time you're in the mood for a great pizza and pitcher of beer (they have 1554 on tap so you've got to get that), go down to Sammy's and be prepared to be amazed. It's like a party in your mouth...and everyone's invited! read more

This is an old school pizza place. Nothing fancy, but very good pizza, draft beers and wine. A perfect place to eat before going to a movie, at the Fargo Theatre, across the street. The pizza has a hand tossed crust, so it takes a little longer - have a beer and enjoy the aroma. Good Americana stuff. read more

Ho hum pizza at best. I wanted it to be good, but it fell short. Super thin crust is normally a plus in my book, but this crust got burned and just didn't have a good taste. The toppings are minimal, which to each their own, but the sauce couldn't even carry a flavor to help out. Where is the flavor?? This pizza needs some love because the place is pretty cool and sits on a corner begging for attention. Might I suggest cooking the pizza either on a screen or with some cornmeal to lift it from being directly on the oven bed. The salad was a generous portion but literally just lettuce and cheese. This place did not spark joy for me on this visit. I will take someone's suggestion and try Rhombus Pizza instead. Sorry Sammy's!! I know you are someone's favorite place and that is cool. There is something for everyone. read more

What makes Sammy's special is its age and its big FU to the 21st century. There are places that are old and off beat and then there are the places that just shrug off time. Sammy's pizza joint has a small kitchen area that makes the pies. Options are whatever there making that day. You might have two choices. What you won't have is an endless assortment of changing options. When you walk in be prepared to step back into an updated 50's building. Narrow and long with plenty of seating. All of which is old and worn but maintains a clean and homey feeling. Sorta like going to Grandmas house back in your early youth. The pizza is made by a few students who might pull off a 1.6 GPA. Making pizza one at a time so it is relatively fresh. The open space makes it nice to settle in for some conversation. If your looking for hip and trendy this is not your spot. If your willing to see Fargo before the Gas boom then this is one of a few places that remains. One slice will run you about four Dollars. Pricy but worth the cost of admission for the experience. Each slice is really two anyway. Thin crust with flavorful sauce and modest amounts of cheese. So grease is not dripping off each slice. Not being from Fargo I found it worth a slice and a drink. read more

Sammy's Pizza & Restaurant - One cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Other than for family, Sammy's is the o my reason I still come back to Fargo. Best pizza I've had all over the country. Always pleasant service never had an issue here and I have been there hundreds of times. Great prices and you can watch them make your food in that brick over I have asked where they get some of the ingredients and was told they make it. Never a let down when you eat here. It's a must they are definitely a part of Fargo history. read more

Love love this place!! Old school pizza preparation and a staff that clearly enjoy their jobs. Yeah it's a little dated but that's the charm of Sammy's. Best pizza in Fargo!! read more

Fargo's Americana filled Broadway is a fine place for this charm-filled pizza joint with its nostalgic curtained booths and, because everybody at the office raved about it, I had high expectations of a deliciously oily thin crust pizza. Basic and a little worn out, Sammy's manages to be warm and comfortable and I settled down in anticipation of the delights to come. Shame it had been built up so much. With just one guy on duty who kept mentioning he couldn't wait for his help to turn up the service was pretty poor even though I was only one of five diners. When the food did come, far from being a pizza it was more of a cheese and tomato tart. I hated the twirled, tasteless crust and the fact the pie had been carved up into one inch squares making it feel like a kid's meal. The base was biscuity and the sauce was far too herby. Toppings were thin on the ground and the cheese was short on flavor. When a restaurant only does one thing, I expect it to do it well, really well. Sorry Sammy's. Fail! read more

My favorite pizza place ever. It is cozy and not a franchise. Family owned. The pizza really is "one of a kind". Highly recommend. read more

Sammy's Pizza & Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

A staple of downtown Fargo. One of the best family style pizza restaurants in the area. Sammy's offers whole pizzas, pizza-by-the slice and side dishes. There is an offering of wine and beer. Sammy's is great for intament get togethers as well as group or family gatherings. It is a place that has a feeling of history to it read more

Sammy's Pizza has been on the same corner in Downtown Fargo since the '60's and has always been a family run business. That is probably why Sammy's Pizza is has been so good for so many years! The thin crust specialty pizza, cut into little squares is easy to eat and enjoy! The toppings are always great as well. I am usually one to order a beef, mushroom and onion or pepperoni and sausage. But when it come it Sammy's, my hands down favorite, is their Kosher Pizza. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets, indeed. This place has been around for years (I grew up in Fargo and we went here when I was a kid) and rather than being a wannabe retro joint, Sammy's is this way because it always has been. Very little has changed in the 20+ years since I've been gone. I live in New York City now and tasted pizza from here to Italy. None will beat Sammy's squares. I would recommend that newbies order a pizza with toppings, to avoid the "cheese and tomato tart" mentioned a few posts below -- my suggestion is the house special. You can't go wrong. read more

Decided to stop here one after since it's a few blocks from my apartment. It was really good. I will definitely be getting pizza from here again. :) read more

When I moved to Fargo, I had heard about Sammy's through Zagat; the dining guide rated this the best pizza in all of North Dakota. It wasn't until recently that I finally made it there to see if this place lives up to this honor from Zagat. It does. I'm from New York, so I'm selective in my pizza taste. This place passes with flying colors. The cheese tastes great, but the sausage chunks that come on their pizzas are even better with a pungent blend of spices (oregano? parsley?). The crust is thin like a New York style pizza, but unlike New York style, the crust is crunchy like a cracker. This doesn't detract from the pizza in any way. It gives the pizza a satisfying flavor that really make Sammy's worth its Zagat designation. read more

Long time pizza restaurant that exist since my husband 's dad was a kid. The pizza is great and the environment is classy. Enjoyed it very much! read more

Pizza lacked flavor overall. Crust was light and flaky with great texture but bland. The sauce tasted as though it was a watered down tomato paste or purée. I ordered the Hawaiian delight which comes with Canadian bacon and pineapple. There was very little Canadian bacon present and when it was found it also lacked flavor. For the first time in my life I put salt on a pizza and it still was uneventful. I was told they make their own sausage and pepperoni however I didn't try it maybe I missed out. The service was poor but they seemed understaffed so I won't hold it against them. Good luck if you choose to go here.I should have trusted the one yelp reviewer that gave it two stars. read more

This Family owned Pizza place is a Gem in downtown Fargo. Sammy's makes perhaps the World's Best Pizza. Every time I visit Fargo, I make it a point to come here. I invite my local friends and relatives to Dinner here, but I often go alone. (My friends and relatives are more used to Multi-National chain Restaurants that are found in any city). Their Sausage Pizza is the best in my opinion. A must go to place if you are visiting Fargo. An experience I have not found anywhere else. read more

co·zy (adjective) 1. giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation. synonyms: comfortable, warm, homelike, welcoming; "Cozy" is the perfect word to describe Sammy's Pizza. Located centrally on the corner of Broadway and 3rd Ave N, Sammy's is precisely the type of local gem hidden in plain sight. A quiet oasis in the midst of other crowded downtown establishments, Sammy's is full of life in a classic sort of way. The menu is not huge and the beer list is small, but the handmade pizza crust is on-point and the domestic taps tastes better here. Stop by with family, bring a date or go solo - either way, I bet you'll leave satisfied. Cheers! read more

Stopped by (not local) as this was the only place open near 930pm on a Friday night , surprisingly.. Friendly staff. The pizza is OK. I have certainly had better. Very thin and extremely shorted on toppings. I got half meat lover and half cheese. $23 bucks and hardly any toppings. You don't get much pizza for the price you pay. read more

Pizza was 7/10 and service was good. Awesome vibe in the building and also was a good place to watch baseballs.

Best pizza in the country. We are from Arizona and we fly up every year to eat here. The beef pizza is by far the best. Always has nice staff. Has two windows that you can walk by outside and see the employees making the pizza from, you can also see from inside. Other good options are the sausage, supreme, or taco flavors. read more

Very great place ,very nice to kids the food taste good and very freshly made! Perfect spot in downtown

We were in town looking at colleges, and we found Sammy's. It has a casual atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our waiter/chef told us about the history of the business, and he assured us we would love our food. We did! We had a half cheese and half sausage pizza. It was delicious! If you are looking for a pizza joint with from-scratch food, I highly recommend Sammy's. read more

My very first time at Sammy's. Friendliest crew of any restaurant I've experienced in a very long time. I had a 12" Canadian Bacon and Mushroom pie, yes I'm not very imaginative, but I do have a lot of experience with that flavor. The thin, hand-tossed crust was even, crunchy and baked to perfection--not a single burn spot or bubble anywhere. The toppings were sweet and plentiful with a thin coating of mozzarella holding the sauce to the crust without any dried out patches. The pie was scorching hot when it came out of the oven so I did have a little problem with mouth burn but that was a small price to pay for near-pizza nirvana. The reason for a less than perfect score is the untintended floor show with a couple of intoxicated customers (not Sammy's fault) who distracted from the attraction. read more
