This place is top notch. Really good prices on everything and amazing quality and freshness. The staff are super kind and helpful... Shout-out to Megan who's a server, always consistent and speedy (which is nice when you have little ones). Speaking of kids, they have coloring and dough balls for the kids to stay occupied. Chris is also great behind the bar! Be sure to always ask for the specials, amazing choices that rotate regularly so don't miss out. The meatballs appetizer is crazy delicious, 3 lacrosse ball sized meatballs in a rich marinara with ricotta spooned over the top. Order two pizzas as well and I don't care how hungry you and your partner is, you'll have delicious leftovers that reheat well in a toaster oven or on a stovetop. Speaking of pizza, some of my favorites are the shrimp scampi (although I miss the mixed seafood pizza they had a few years ago), the Philly special, and the chicken bacon ranch pizza is a favorite. The upside down is awesome as well. Honestly never had a bad meal here and this place is slowly becoming my local hangout. They just added steeltip darts upstairs which is another awesome draw. $5 SAMbucca pours, something for everyone! read more

Really small spot but cool and has live music. The servers were friendly and attentive. Inside is very loud with horrible acoustics. Food served til 9:30 Good prices on wine but the wine isn't great (to be expected for a spot like this) Sammy Italiano sandwich was ok. It has a nice crusty roll but the roll was so big compared to the meat without any sauce it was bit dry. Had good flavor. Margarita pizza is ok. Very limp and soggy. Sauce is a pretty bitter. read more

Came here for Thursday night quizzo. Popular night, it was busy but we were able to get a table. We decided to just get the Margherita pizza. This is brick oven pizza at its finest. Thin crust, every bite was delicious. There were beers and even a cider on tap. I was able to get a little sample to try. I really liked it. Quizzo was a lot of fun. Service was good. I would come here again. read more

Sam's Brick Oven Pizza - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Food is delicious. Very pleasing service and cozy neighborhood atmosphere. There is a private room for parties.

The NMA and I recently ordered delivery from Sam's, more or less on a whim. We hadn't had their food for a while and we wanted something different from our "usual" takeout. We ordered the Parmesan garlic fries, hot wings and a pepperoni & bacon pizza. Everything was delicious. NMA was especially impressed with the bacon on the pizza, I agreed the flavor came through well. My only concern was with the fries - they were so underdone that some tasted raw in the center. Fries are challenging as a delivery item, admittedly so I wasn't expecting just-out-of-the-fryer fresh. These needed more time to cook. It was disappointing. The Parmesan fries are addictive - the dipping sauce makes it taste spectacular. I think maybe this is a dine-in only item. We'll be back, of course, and likely get delivered too. read more

Pizza was excellent! Delivered hot and on time. Always a pleasure ordering from here!

My favorite pizza place was closed, so I found Sam's on Google. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed. The pizza was small and deflated. Additionally, the cheese and toppings were sad. I also ordered Buffalo wings, which were passable. The sauce was spicy, and I was thankful I ordered them because I was starving. Lol 2 stars for the quick service. Called in my order, and it was ready for pickup 10 minutes later. I'm not sure if that was a sign of slow service or immaculate skill. The bar was full, and the ambiance was pleasant, so perhaps this is best as a local bar option. read more

Average food, typical craft beers, and a diverse crowd it is a nice place to drink as the food prices offset the meh architecture and Joe their manager is a great guy. Try the open mike on Mondays or hang in to watch the phillies when they open the street window this Summer read more

Great food, great service and family friendly. Came with my parents, brother and kids on a sat night for dinner. I ordered the French onion soup and a Ceasar salad. The soup so so good! The service was great, the waitress came back often to check on us. The others loved their food. I tried the baked clams which were delicious- a mix of lemon, garlic and red pepper which was spot on! I will order those next time. My Dad got shrimp scampi which he said was really good. The restaurant has a cheers kind of vibe with tvs and speakers blasting the Phillies playoff game which I appreciate. Will be back with the family. read more

Loved the food and atmosphere. Had a bunch of things: baked clams, escarole soup, chicken cutlet sandwich and meatball sliders. All very good. Our server (young blonde girl) was super sweet and attentive. We will definitely be visiting again when we are back in town! read more

I needed some pizza and wings on a Sunday stat! Sam's were just about the only place open at 8:30pm. Placed a take-out order for their traditional cheese pizza and buffalo wings. No ma'am! That pizza was the lackest lusterest pizza I've had. The dough was thin but soft and soggy. It was like nobody put lovin in that pizza. I digress. The wings were actually okay. Some of the wings were those weird gargantuan sized wings that never really sit right with me BUT the taste was good nonetheless. Will I go back? Nah likely not. read more

2 pm the day before Thanksgiving, my son and I went to Sam's for lunch before picking up my order at Carlinos. Pretty empty, except for a few tables, and a very loud table of four drunk and obnoxious older men. The men were talking extremely loud about such things as pussy and secretly taking nudie photos.... Not really public lunch conversation. I approached their table and asked if they could lower their voices. Instead, the one man came to our table and screamed that I was a cunt and a pussy and how dare I approach HIS TABLE. The man proceeded to scream inflammatory language at me; none of his table mates did anything. The men finally left; the man screamed cunt and pussy in the restaurant and bar area while leaving. I was in tears. The kind waiter said he would get the owner; however, the owner never came to our table. We left our uneaten food, paid the bill and tipped well, and we will never be back! read more

On the evening of April 18th, I went to Sam's Brick Oven Pizza for dinner and for karaoke. I ordered a caesar salad and chicken fingers. I was unhappy with my meal. The caesar salad dressing was not to my liking. Actually, it tasted awful! I didn't even finish it. And, I was under the impression from the menu listed online, that the 3 chicken fingers I ordered was $4.00, but turned out I paid $8.99 (children's menu) for it. I called Sam's and spoke to the manager about being dissatisfied with my food order. He cut our conversation short, saying they were busy and said he'd call me back...He NEVER called back!! So much for good customer service! I won't be eating there again. They lost a customer in me! read more

Visiting family in Havertown. Surprised how delicious the food was in this very casual place.

Great food & service ! Friendly staff as well A wonderful neighborhood establishment Will return again and again ! read more

Different Cheesesteak #912. Guest Eater Dan Richwine. I'd like to thank everyone that made Sam's Brick Oven Pizza possible. Sam's is a craft beer & wine bar. They have a bar area, dining room, patio and sold a lot of take out while we were there. This was a restaurant quality cheesesteak. I wish it was bigger but it was only $9. $9 and it came with good Italian Style French Fries. I asked to have my cheesesteak on Sam's made garlic bread and they made it for me. My slushie was $8. read more

Garbage food for the price. Find something more locally sourced in the area at a comparable price point. Carlinos is next door...

The pizza was decent. The eggplant tower was good. The service was awful. I received food with no silverware and when she finally came back around, the food was cold. She did take it back to reheat it. She rarely came to the table but served other tables that came in later. I had to go find her to pay the check so that we could leave. Never Again! read more

Great food, excellent staff, and a good time for Quizzo, Live bands, and glad that KARAOKE is back every Friday night from 10-2!! Kitchen closes early so you may need to put your order in before 10 if you are hungry. read more

Food is excellent, great beers on draft, service impeccable, entertainment throughout the week, I can't think of anywhere better to hang out. Dining room is great for families and bar side is the spot to be. Side note order seafood or CHEESESTEAKS! Hidden gem read more

A Havertown gem! Never have I ever NOT HAD A GREAT MEAL HERE! All pizzas are 12" of deliciousness. The brick oven, of course, is what cooks the pies to perfection. I highly recommend the Upside Down Pie...provolone and mozz on the bottom, sauce on top. Their Italian fries are also to die for and come with a special dipping sauce. read more

Great atmosphere, great ambiance and great people all around in this place. Mia, the bartender is awesome, always on point when you need a drink or when you need to order food. Great place to take friends, family and loved ones. Would recommend quizzo on Thursday, lots of fun and Erik who runs it does it right, professional and in a timely matter. This place is hands down the best spot on county line road. read more

Sam's restaurant is one of the most consistent dining experiences I have had in the area. It can get busy, but the food is fine. The selections of beer make it worth the while. They occasionally have live music and everybody has been friendly. I also enjoy going to Sam's when there's live sports to share with members of the community. read more

Within a 15 minute drive you can have a casual Italian meal in at least a dozen places; maybe more. However there is another niche. How about places that have a full liquor license and a sit down bar? That reduces your choices considerably. If that interests you, read on. This is a two visit review; the first time on a weekday afternoon before happy hour and then on a slammin Friday night. I sat at the bar both times. ATMOSPHERE- I gotta say, I love it! The huge windows that open, the dark wood, and the just right lighting; it all comes together to make me feel comfortable. I experienced it when it was quiet and then again when it was packed and enjoyed it both times. CUSTOMER SERVICE- My afternoon bartender was exceptional and my Friday evening bartender was very good even though she was swamped. This is impressive as they have only been open a few days. ADULT LIBATIONS- You're going to be surprised. They've taken a shot a hitting all three categories and I think they have succeeded. The beer list, wine list, and specialty drink list are all very nice. FOOD- I found it not bad at all especially as they are so new but it needs work in a couple of spots. We're talking a full menu from sandwiches to entrees of mostly Italian fare. On my first visit, while I was waiting for my food, I was served bread along with oil & herbs for dipping. It was completely FORGETTABLE and it scared me a little as it's a 1st impression and that counts for a lot. This needs to be fixed. They redeemed themselves with a very good Escarole Soup ($4). Next I enjoyed a Meatball & Ricotta appetizer for $9. It was quite tasty but similar to what I could find in lots of places. Both items I could easily order again. On my second visit I went with a White Pizza with Italian Sausage & Mushroom toppings ($13). Note, they serve only 12" pies here. The pie was cooked beautifully with a very tasty crust. Unfortunately, the Italian Sausage used was incredibly mild. I expected to taste those wonderful Italian seasonings and that didn't happen. So for me the pie was just barely OK. I suspect this these folks are going to be a four star place. I like it a lot. For now, I'm going with three stars and I'm betting I'll be changing that to four in the coming months. read more

Went to this place to eat after an event. As we walked in the door. Monica opened the window and asked if she could help us. (Kind of rude tone but I didn't say anything as my partner was already in the door and she's the one that invited me) my partner tells her that we would like a table. She rudely asks "do you have a reservation?" (Not what she said but how she said it) and we stated that we called to ask about dining and were not told about a reservation. She stand there for a second and asks Christopher to clean a table off for us. Then she rudely says "you have 90 minutes" and shuts the window. Now I'm standing there like "she didn't say hi, thank you, welcome, please, nothing!!!!!!!!" Needless to say I thanked Christopher for cleaning the table off and I decided to take my business and money elsewhere. I hear the wings are good, but the service today stunk. read more

Sam's Brick Oven Pizza - Juice - Pizza Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Not my favorite...food was good and the staff was friendly but the atmosphere was a little rough. We had to sit outside...still not sure why because there were empty tables inside...and it was a cooler night. The food was hot when it came but cooled off fast. They could have had some heaters or something that would have made it more comfortable. I'd go again but only for take out. read more

Went hear a band play. Brought a bunch of friends. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Wait staff was a overwhelmed but did a great job.

Food isn't great and the close the kitchen at 10 on the weekends and even earlier on the weeks. Couldn't even get a pizza at 10:00 on a Saturday night like what? read more

The wings here are the best. Crispy and flavorfull. Nothing worse than a soggy wing. Pizza is great too, thin crust without being too crispy. read more

Had my daughter's college graduation party there last weekend. Very nice upstairs room, quiet, big enough for dozens and room to move around. Very good value. Food was good. We had pasta, meatballs, roast pork, salad and brought in our own snacks like chips and salsa, soft pretzels, cake, etc. Have two kids graduation parties next year, HS and college. We'll be back read more

We were seated with No silverware. We ordered, still No silverware. The food runner brought 2 Caesar salads, we asked him for silverware, he said sure. No silverware came. A server then showed up with 2 Tortellini dishes, No silverware. We asked her for silverware. She then said I'll get my manager. The Manager showed up and didn't care that we weren't given silverware and said to us there's the door. Wow, we all couldn't believe that's what he said and then he said it again. He didn't give one shit that we couldn't eat the food, his restaurant was serving. Finally, silverware came. And then the 2 pizzas we ordered came. We decided we weren't going to stay and asked for boxes and wanted to return one of our pizzas because of how the Manager spoke to us. They brought the bill and insisted we pay before we got boxes... What were we going to run with the food? How ridiculous. We were told the manager would come over again but failed not to. We paid and the server brought our boxes. We had to pay the hostess BCS she told us that the server was done with us but guess what, she's the one who brought the boxes. I've never have had such an awful experience over silverware which you need to eat an establishments food or told there's the door, which I was surprised they even presented us with a bill. Believe me, I will do my Best to get the word out how awful Sam's Servers, manager and staff really are. Word of mouth travels fast and can be negative on a business. So enjoy your choice, which was over silverware. read more

First the taste was excellent. The quality and prep, superb. It gets 4 stars, but non traditional. However, being a chef this meal of chicken Marsala and Escarole soup are both non traditional. If seeking traditional, see Pica. They take short cuts, but it's difficult for a non profession nal to know. It does have good taste and texture. I need say clients here wouldn't notice it. But to yield fair review, I need to point out these items. Hopefully there is an improvement, but I am not counting on it. Two misses, delivery person fails to notify, just drop it and run. Whether this is caused by poor training or no work ethic is unknown, but food became ice cold. I went out to check, in 45 minutes from order time. Did not get any tracking info, lead me to be concerned. Not know how to use the system? So delivery was on time orbit or early. What is not acceptable doesn't notify the customer of the delivery. Another miss, order bread and butter, but got salad & dressing instead, but not order. Why? How did it get changed? Not notify either. read more

Earlier this evening I went to Sam's, a neighborhood place that I had been to many times in the past few years. Good food and usually a great time. When walking in around 5:30, my daughter who was visiting from out of town and I walked past the full bar and into the dining room, waiting for someone to pay attention to us and ask about seating. The wait staff were very young, seemingly in high school. No one paid us any attention. Finally after standing there (they had to walk around us) I motioned to a girl at the back of dining room who was standing there. She walked over and told me there were no tables. I asked about us waiting. She said that once the tables were empty they had reservations so there would be no tables. I asked several times (she didn't seem to understand ) if that meant there were no tables for the rest of the night-she finally said yes, there were no tables. Again, I asked for clarification and asked if the dining room was closed for the night, and finally, she understood and said, yes, the dining room was closed. To be fair. she did offer us one of the high tops in the bar area but we would have had to muscle our way through the crowded bar and fight for attention, food and beer. I live in the neighborhood and have been to Sam's many times over the past five years. I couldn't imagine that the dining room was closed for the night except for reservations-if this was the case, why wasn't it noted somewhere? Why weren't we told that when we walked in? I still find it very hard to believe that the dining room was closed. Anyway, we won't be going back. And I would urge others to not go, either. The wait staff were not very friendly and forth coming, and anyway, unless you make reservations, you can't eat there anyway! read more

I could definitely see this place becoming a new go to spot of ours. We went for dinner and sat at the bar. We had the wings to start, they were really good. I had the margarita to drink which was probably a mistake, I would've ordered wine if I had noticed they were a wine bar. I saw after, they had a decent selection. The margarita was really sweet and tasted like too much mixer. Me and my husband shared a plain brick oven pizza, which was delicious. The best I have tried anywhere around here, I would come here just to get a take out pizza. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super attentive. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is cool.
