    Prosciutto
    Christina P.

    Prosciutto and arugula in general is one of my favorite pizzas, and it was decent here. I was skeptical about trying this place as the pictures posted here aren't very convincing, however I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the amount of arugula, and the pizza itself was flavorful with a crispy crust.

    I really wish that yelp would allow for half stars. I don't think Sampas is a 4 but it's not a 3 either. We have been trying out different pizza places around the area and Sampas has been on the list for a bit. We decided tonight was the night, ordered *Half & Half* Napolitana and Meat Lovers. The pizza was smaller than I expected, I think they was my original dissatisfaction. The meat lovers was very good, great combo of meats and good crisp. The napolitana was already cold, even though I picked it up right at my order time, which made the cheese clump together. We did not enjoy it, even after reheating. I think Sampas does a wonderful job at having unique flavors, and perhaps we will give it another try.

    We live a few blocks away and can't believe it took us this long to try Sampa's Pizza. As soon as we walked in Jean(say it with a portugüese accent) greeted us and had the biggest smile. Told him it was our first time there and we're curious of what they had in the menu. He explained that they had several takes on Pizza's, They had Brazilian specialty pizzas, American & Italian classics. They had A few Salads, desserts and some fun Appetizers as well. They have fun Brazilian drinks and other specialties. We went with half Supreme & Margherita Pizza. We got a side Greek salad as well. The pizza was thin Crust, the tomato sauce was light and the toppings were fresh and delicious! Simple yet so fulfilling with every bite. Safe to say we finished the whole pizza & Salad. The Location is small but very cozy and love the decor they have. The inside had a few tables to fit maybe 20-25 people.. there is plenty of parking in the shopping center as well. Cant wait to come back and try other specialty pizzas. Really loved the vibe and they even have All you can eat as well as another option. Thank you for your hard work and great service glad to have a place like this close to home.

    The menu is very complete! If you're not from São Paulo you have HAVE to try it, it's amazing. If you're from SP you will feel like home!

    It's delicious! If you're not from São Paulo you HAVE TO TRY. If you're from SP you're gonna fell home.

    This place is amazing! They make pizza by the slice of anything you want and it's all made fresh to order. The ingredients are alll very fresh and so delicious and they are very generous with their cheese. If I lived here I'd be at those places all the time!!

    Very clean and friendly atmosphere.

    We were hungry for pizza after transitioning our home into 'winter wonderland' mode for the Christmas season. Yelp and the great reviews lead us to Sampa's and our interaction with Gustavo, the owner. They basically have three different categories of pizza: Brazilian, Italian, and American. Gustavo is Brazilian and absolutely nails the Brazilian varieties, we went with a 1/2 Rio de Janeiro (Brazilian) and 1/2 BBQ chicken (American). The Rio de Janeiro is fresh tomato sauce, hearts of palm, provolone, *catupiry, mozzarella & oregano. It was a delicious change of pace, especially when I put on the Brazilian hot sauce. The BBQ portion has big bold flavor with the perfect amount of chicken. We got one pizza between the two of us, and left with two slices to go, if that helps give you some size perspective. The restaurant is small (4 tables), super clean, and a enjoyable atmosphere should you decided to dine it, with idyllic music to set the tone. Gustavo was a great host, ushering us through the menu and making us feel right at home with his food suggestions and genuine hospitality. As first-time visitors he insisted that we try the coconut custard on the house, I was happy with the offering, although it was not super sweet. We also tried the Brazilian flan which is less of a sugar rush than the Mexican flan, I liked it with less sugar. After these two desserts I've come to realize that Brazilian flavoring is slightly tuned down versus my normal expectations. We enjoyed a nice evening and absolutely expect to be back. They do NOT have a liquor license, so don't expect pizza and beer. They do have fun/unique soft drinks and fruit drinks which are from Brazil. Gustavo, you have a nice thing going here, congratulations and thanks for sharing your culture.

    Fogo de Chão - DTLA (Weekday Lunch)…read more FOOD Damn--they serve authentic Lamb Chops! Many restaurants tone down the characteristic flavor of lamb because a lot of people don't like that distinct taste. But Fogo's lamb chops stayed impressively close to the original flavor. Thank you, Fogo! Next time I come here, I may just order the lamb chops and nothing else. Their Picanha was also very good. Their Black Beans were delicious. My co-worker pointed out that there was meat in them--I honestly didn't notice. So it probably wasn't full Feijoada, but rather black beans with a bit of meat added to enhance the flavor. Either way, they were excellent. Our server suggested adding Chimichurri on the side for the black beans, and that was a fantastic recommendation. Absolutely delicious. Thank you, miss! I also loved their Mashed Potatoes. And of course, the famous Brazilian Cheesebread! Love it! (Be sure to ask for it. Because ours came towards the end of the dinner.) DÉCOR & FOOD PRICE The décor was just so-so--not as nice as H&H Brazilian. However, Fogo's all-you-can-eat churrasco costs significantly less. H&H was $73 per person when I went last December, while Fogo's weekday lunch was only $55. That difference definitely matters. DRINKS The drink prices were also a pleasant surprise. A glass of South American Chardonnay was only $8, and their Clean Cosmos (a mocktail) was around the same price. Our server brought us bottled spring water, which cost $8.50. I don't recall being asked whether we wanted tap or bottled water, but times are hard and I want them to stay in business. DESSERT You may not even need dessert--the fried plantains are included as part of the all-you-can-eat churrasco, and they're a satisfying sweet finish. SERVICE Except for one grumpy gaúcha (meat server), everyone was wonderful--from the hostess, to our pleasant server, to the nice gaucho. As for the grumpy gaúcha, she probably just had a bad day. I hope things improve for her. PARKING Just Uber. Or take Lyft. The parking structure where we parked was absolutely godforsaken. SUMMARY Overall, I'm happy with this place. Good food, fair pricing, and authentic Brazilian flavors--especially those lamb chops. I'll definitely be back. RESERVATIONS I recommend making reservations. Because the place was full during our visit. You may do so via Open Table.

It was also annoying for the waitress (not the gal that served us btw - a host perhaps) to give the vibe like they were doing us a favor by applying the $50 Birthday promo that THEY send via email (note, I verbally this flagged when we arrived just in case - but they didn't initially have it on our bill). My head is thinking "calm down--we ate minimally and got drinks. Don't offer it if you're going to have an attitude about adjusting the bill". It was just weird. They also didn't offer any bday dessert treat but we weren't super pressed bc we were so full. The meat was a bit overdone and all kind of tasted the same this visit. Didn't get to try the lamb chops and a few other meats, but still has a nice variety. Salad bar is top notch and consistent, although wish their black beans were plain due to all the meat. Drinks were ok--heavy pours but lower quality wine. The $29 "Wine Experience" package was worth it for my husband who likes variety of wines with his dinner depending on what he's eating. I'm sure I'll come again but it's been bumped a few notches on my Go To list.
