Love Sammy's! Pizza is great, breadsticks are good, and the hoagies do not disappoint! I try something new on the menu each time I go, and I haven't had a bad experience yet! Best pizza joint in the area in my opinion! read more

We LOVE the pizza and breadsticks here. We stop by anytime we're in the area. First time getting the tenders. They were as you'd expect. Sicilian was perfect! read more

This place served my husband and I meat for a vegetarian side. We called and asked if they put meat in it and they denied it and tried to give the call to a "manager" but then hung up on me. Absolutely disgusting. My husband is highly allergic to red meat and has been vomiting for hours. The store is also dirty and gross. I would never recommend this place. read more

Sammy's Place - Gross meat - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Have enjoyed the food at sammy's for over 40yrs. New owners are fantastic! The grandkids won't eat anyone elses pizza.

Don't let the crumbling parking lot and worn out exterior fool you... this is actually a great, no frills lunch spot! There is limited seating inside, but our group of 6 was easily accommodated, as they were not busy at all for lunch. They have an entire two-sided menu, including everything from soups and salads to sandwiches and gyros, as well as pizza, of course. We went with the daily special, which was a mini calzone with a side salad for $8! You could choose any calzone from the menu, and even though it was "mini", it was the perfect amount of food for lunch. Everything was served hot, right from the oven, and the server was very friendly and checked in to make sure everything was okay. read more

We were visiting from out of town and randomly stopped. Great choice. The staff was very accommodating and even though it became busy, we were not forgotten. Pizza was great, good pricing. read more

Passed this place so many times and decided to try it! I was pleasantly surprised and ordered it twice in a week. Everything I tried here was great! We had a small salad, medium pizza with pepperoni, fries, and breadsticks. The breadsticks are amazing. When you order pickup, they bring it out to the car for you, so it's super convenient. Give it a shot if you're looking for new pizza to try!! read more

Sadly, to all Sammy's loyal customers-they've closed "for good"...the fact that we weekly drive by just to see if possibly they've re-opened proves what a great place this was--and how sorely it is missed. Someone needs to buy this business, along with all the recipes(!), hire back the same great servers and open up once again! We are going through a real grieving process here! read more

Clean place - you don' t have to brace yourself to discover a crime scene when you want to use the rest room to wash your hands. They are maintained and kept tidy. Very good pizza! Nice wait staff! Clientele? Lots of cops - its in the City proper, but no City cops, for some reason. I think they are Green Tree and Scott Twp. So, you know the place won't tolerate thuggery and agitated people looking to start something. Its a friendly, neighborhood-like atmosphere, actually. I do not have a lot of experience as a consumer of Sammy's, but I really loved the pie I got there, and never felt like I needed to shower after leaving (as I do with some establishments - oh come on, like you haven't had the same feeling at times!). I will be back to try other food options there. I hope they stay open for a while - they might be hurting to find enough staff. read more

LOVE SAMMYS! We come here a lot for lunch and always have great service! Today I got a $8 lunch special with a mini calzone and salad! Our server was so sweet and quick. Food is always perfect. They also have good take out that I get after lunch! It's a good little spot! Highly recommend! read more

A friend told me about Sammy's Place having some good pizza so naturally I wanted to give it a try. I also stumbled upon Just Pay Half gift certificates to make it an even sweeter deal. Sammy's is a little out of the way for me and I only got take out a couple times so I can't speak much for the service but my pick-ups were always a pleasant experience. I've only tried their regular pizza (none of that specialty stuff) and the turkey club loaf hoagie. I didn't find anything outstanding about the food, but it was above average. I did like the pizza sauce (a bit on the sweeter side). And I happened to discover they make a hot ranch sauce so I made sure to ask for it with every order. (It's nothing special, just buffalo sauce and ranch dressing mixed together but I could not get enough of it.) If I lived closer to Sammy's or I was a little more impressed with the pizza I'd probably end up there more often. And I would maybe have been able to decide between 3 and 4 stars. read more

During Covid-19, I am trying to support locally owned businesses. We can clearly assess over the past few months what restaurants are doing it right. Sammy's is all wrong. In short, they created no system in terms of being ready when the cars pull up. They just sit inside with your cold food. You basically have to let yourself in the side door to the kitchen. Food was cold and awful. Two of the four of us who ordered agreed they were the worst salads we ever had. My boss and I threw away more than 1/2 of our food. And the attitude... is so cavalier... they couldn't care any less about the customer. Sammy's Place needs to learn from other successful (and appreciative businesses.) Their attitude was the straw that broke this camel from every returning there. Ordered over the phone for four people. The employee said it's curbside service and asked for my car make and model. They have NO SYSTEM. I pulled up and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. I honked several times. Then I went up to the door and knocked. Nothing. Finally, I just opened the door and went in. They looked at me as if I was bothering them. The kid making the food looked at me and said, "yes?." Then the server yelled from the other side, "I'll be out." She came out with no food. She asked, "What did you get?" - ok - why didn't she ask when I came in? Then she came out with my food. I got back to work, they forgot the dressing for the one salad. Which, by the way, when I ordered I was very specific and the order taker read it back to me. But no... not in the bag. The rest of the food was cold, dried up and awful. I heard such great things. But honestly, it was the attitude of the staff who stared me down. No.. "hi! what's your order?" Horrible. NEVER AGAIN... NEVER read more

We ordered fish sandwiches & extra crispy fries. Yuck. The fish is raw. The breading on the fish is slimy & raw on the inside and burned on the outside. The hamburger bun it was served on is not mancinis. The fries are soggy and greasy, frozen bagged crap. Speaking of grease, they should change theirs. It leaves a nasty after taste on the food. Won't ever be back. read more

Pizza was AMAZING, service was awesome, even the customers were smiling and bring pleasant. Definitely best pizza in greentree.

Great daily specials. The pizza is always a good option but don't forget about the wings!

One of our favorite places to order from regularly. Great pizza, usually extremely quick from order to pick up time. Some of the best wings from a pizza joint. Done all the way through, crispy skin. Only complaint - they only deliver on weekends. read more

Full disclosure- I have lived just up the hill from this joint for over three years and just visited yesterday for the first time. Now I'm kicking myself because I loved it! I'm always on the hunt for a good turkey sandwich, and usually I'm disappointed. Looking at you, Subway, with your brick-textured bread and low quality lunchmeat. I have found my diamond in the rough: Sammys turkey wedgie. It was so good I forgot to take a picture! But definitely enough for two meals. We got some wings and a pepperoni pizza as well. My husbands rule of thumb is that if a pizza place can't make a good pep pie, than they can't get anything right. And they DID! It was wonderful. I agree with the "sweeter" sauce posts- it's perfect, and the crust is fluffy but not doughy. The ladies that work there are great, too. We had a nice chat with them since it wasn't too busy when we were in. Ill definitely be back. Count on that. read more

Sammy's. Shammy's. Sambo's. Slambo's. Shlambo's. Shammy, thank you for the shamshine. I could go on, but I'll get on with the review. However, those are all the names I call my fave pizza joint in Pittsburgh. "Hold up, J." I hear you saying. "Didn't you decree Sarafino's as having the best pizza in Pittsburgh?" I did..and Sammy's is right up there with it. It's different from Sarafino's, but I love it just as much, so the kudos is going to have to be shared in this instance. So let's get down to it. Sammy's is an inconspicuous joint in the Green Tree/Crafton dining area. It's been there for a while and it has its share of local fans and families that frequent it regularly (along with our local boys in blue as well as the state police). The staff is friendly, the atmosphere low key, and everything I've tried on the menu is damned good. The pizza is phenomenal. The sauce is on the sweeter side, with just the right amount of tang. The crust is soft and not too chewy, with the cheese to sauce to crust ratio practically perfect. Every time I have a first bite of a slice of Sammy's pizza, my mind splits open, just like Lou Reed sings about on "Sister Ray." It's so good. Every element of the pie is tasty, with no one part overpowering any of the others. I like the pepperoni they use here. It's the smaller disc type that curls up on the edges when it's baked. And you can't go wrong at all if you get meatballs as a topping here, either. My other favorite thing here is the chicken wings. Now, I generally think Wings, Suds and Spuds up in Moon Township has the overall best wings in the Pittsburgh area, but they can be a tad expensive. Sammy's fries their wings as well, and come really close to being a mirror of Wings, Suds and Spuds. They're also about four dollars cheaper per order. I love the buffalo bleu, buffalo ranch, and parmesan bbq sauces. They have a ton of other flavors, as well as some not regularly listed on their weekly wing night specials. So what else is good here? The chicken parm sandwich is perfect, I've not had a better one anywhere. The steak hoagie is also excellent. The nachos are super, if you just get them with cheese only, or one of the bigger versions with meat and other toppings. Onion rings? Crazy tasty. Mozzarella sticks? Gooey and groovy ust like they should be. There's also plenty of salads, soups, pasta dishes, fish sandwiches, etc. Everything I've had here I've enjoyed. I go to Sammy's at least once every week and I never feel like I'm tired of it. It's just that good. The prices are in that sweet spot as well, so compared to some of the other pizza and Italian places around, you do get great value for your money here. It is a smaller establishment, but looks can be deceiving. The parking lot isn't big, but even when it looks crowded, there's often plenty of spots to sit at inside. So don't let a few cars dissuade you from coming in. A good restaurant wants lots of customers, after all. For the beer drinkers out there, Sammy's does sell brew, though there is no bar. They do have a good selection of favorite, expected domestics as well as some indie brews. They do a bang up business on the weekend, and deliver only on Friday and Saturday. If you live in the area, you may want to just call in and pick up your order as it's often quicker to do so by 30 minutes. No slight against their delivery, but since it's not an establishment that mainly focuses on that aspect, the takeout is a great way to go. A lot of times the parking lot is filled mainly with people just running in to pick up their orders. So if you love pizza, Sammy's is the place to go, along with Sarafino's. If you're looking for the usual sorts of things local pizza places offer aside from pizza, then you definitely want to go to Sammy's. It's light years better than Portofino's, Mario's, etc. You can tell the staff cares about what they're making and serving to its patrons as the food is always top notch. 'Nuff said. read more

A little lacking in the customer service but the food is great. The pizza is delicious and the breadstick are better than any I've ever had before. Dine in when possible. read more

In my opinion, they have the best single cuts. Cheese and crust are perfectly toasted. (For some reason I like their cuts more than whole pizza). And slices are huge! read more

Save your money. Judging by previous reviews on here I hope this place has gone downhill because of Covid, because this is hands down the worst take out I've gotten in the last couple decades. Insulting how small the portions are compared to the price. Hate to see the portion sizes on the childs' menu. And very bland, in a cardboard sort of way. Steer clear. read more

I have lived by and been visiting this place for almost 8 years. They have hands down the best Pizza in the local area. I grew up just a little over an hour from Buffalo and I can tell that they have the best Wings in the Pittsburgh area. Ive tried dozens of places and most come up short. This is clearly not a wing town but Sammys almost always hits the mark. They are always perfectly cooked without having to specify any special instructions and the sauces are great. If you get hot wings from any of the other local spots they are almost always under cooked and have a very strange sauce, not really quite sure what it even is. Not Sammys, perfectly cooked Buffalo style hot wings, best you can get this far from Buffalo. They're hogies are also fantastic. They use Mancini's bread so you can't go wrong. The Italian is my personal favorite. Hands down best pizza joint in the area! read more

Wow! There are absolutely no words to express the quality of food and service... Since moving to Crafton in 2017, this has been a place of refuge for my brother and I when our mom got sick suddenly. She's better now! This place has been a place of celebration, a place of meetings with clients, and now during the hardest time that I can remember, this establishment is going above and beyond for immune compromised people. Whether they choose to dine in where they are taking extra precautions, or like myself order takeout... There really aren't many places willing to put a pizza in your trunk and take money from your windshield not many at all! And there are certainly fewer that are going to do it with a smile and make you feel welcome! The ladies at Sammies have treated us well over the last three years and I am so grateful to them! Their pizza quality although it's always been great... Has continued to improve with a slightly flaky crust on the outside that is tender and not at all chewy on the inside... With just the right amount of shortness in there cheese ... I hardly ever give reviews this high! read more

The food is so good here. We got a pepperoni pizza breadsticks and an Italian hoagie. Everything was amazing but the Italian hoagie was the best I've ever Had! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Really good steak hoagies and their sauce is really good, on the sweeter side, the cheese ravioli dish is really good also!

We ordered two cheeseburgers a side salad kids wings kids pizza bell cheeseballs food came and hour later cheeseballs overcooked the food cold cheeseburgers never came and neither did the salad read more

Would NEVER recommend this place to grab a quick slice of Pizza.Was charged $5 for one an average size slice of pizza. When I pay that much for just one slice I expect it to be just slightly bigger when paying that price. This isn't New York, where you can just charge that price for a slice and it taste fantastic, pizza tasted VERY mediocre. read more

This is the kind of gem that's off the beaten path and overlooked, but my wife and I had a great meal on the cheap, despite the late hour.

Love the food. I haven't had any food here that I did not like. The pizza is awesome, wings are delicious and the salads are large and tasty. We have been back several times now. read more

First time dining here and found the food to be excellent! Breadsticks, pizza and wings were the best I've had in a long time. Ordered the $12.99 special pizza w- breadsticks and it was worth twice that! Excellent food and great service. A definite must experience!!! read more

Could this place be any slower? I mean any other pizza place it's like 15-20 minutes but whatever. I've come here for pick up 3 times. The first 2 times, I waited an additional 15 minutes after arriving (which was 25 minutes after I called). So the third, I was smart enough to go later. However, here I am, 40 minutes later.. still waiting for a small pizza and hoagie... Don't bother with this place. read more

Horrible service....ordered from them twice. The first time took over 2 hours for my food to be delivered to me cold and just tonight I didn't get all my food and their pizzas have a lack of toppings... Won't order from them again read more

Crowded but comfortable if you don't mind that. Food is fantastic offbeat American Italian.

We get pizza from Sammy's probably once a week. Friendly, neighborhood family run restaurant. I love their pizza and wings

Just had my first Sammy's experience (8/18/14). I will definitely be returning. I've tried a lot of different pizzas in the Greentree area, and this one is a favorite. read more

Sammy's has been one of my family's favorite places for a quick, delicious and reasonably priced meal. We love the pizza there. The pepperoni is crisp and crunchy, sauce is sweet, and dough is risen perfectly. I love the wings for their crispiness. This family run business is a definite stop for those who love to support locally owned businesses. Keep your McD's and Pizza Hut. I'll be at Sammy's read more

Absolutely the worst customer service! My wife called to order food for pickup and proceeded to pay via card over the phone, the owners daughter told her to pay when we came to pick up the food and hung up on her, I called back once I heard what happened and I asked to speak to a manager and immediately could tell that was who hung up on my wife based on her attitude. After refusing to apologize she then stated are you coming to pick it up or not, I was shocked at how awful an average mom and pop joint treated local customers. Save yourself the time and order from Portifino's in Crafton, much better food and service! read more

Ordered over $100 of wings and pizza here, paid over the phone with my credit card. Delivery driver delivered pizza and we tipped in cash. Delivery driver came back 2 hours later and said we didn't pay the bill. We told him we paid via credit over the phone. We told him to have them call us if there was any problem. The girl called back and said we never paid, even though they took all of our credit card numbers. My wife tried to explain the situation and was yelled at. My wife asked to speak to the owner, and she got on the phone. The owner told my wife that she didn't want to hear what she had to say, and proceeded to call my wife a bitch, and that if she didn't pay again that she would send the police to our house. We used to frequent this place, but will never go back. Also, we will tell anyone who considers this establishment to be warned. They are rude and we do not recommend their food. The salad we got from there tonight was bad, and their customer service is terrible. We are going to contact the better business bureau, and we will never, ever go back. Neither will our friends or family. Their treatment of a customer is classless and obnoxious. Don't go. Save yourself the hassle. read more

overall food wasnt half bad, my major issue was so -called hostess chasing our car down the street because we had the nerve to use gift certificate to pay for our order, never have i been treated so poorly ,my only advice if you decide to go is bring cash and lots of it read more
