I've been going to Sam's pretty regularly for about a year, and I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet! Don't let the name fool you. While their pizza is amazing, there's so much more on their menu that's worth trying. I usually go for the chicken tender plate (definitely get the tenders covered in wing sauce) with their potato wedges, or the buffalo chicken wrap with their addictive homemade ranch. Also, if you're there don't skip their rotating homemade desserts; their cakes are delicious. I usually grab my food to go, but every time I stop by it's packed. It's definitely a local hotspot with a warm, friendly vibe where you're likely to run into someone you know. The service is always top-notch, and even when they're busy, the staff is super nice and helpful. read more

Food here has greatly improved over the years, today I had the totchos supreme and it was great and filling! Check this place out for pizza as well, they were voted best in the county for 2 years in a row! Good prices on food and the service is quick and friendly! They also have a buffet daily which includes a salad bar and different types of pizza. Environment is more modern than some surrounding restaurants. read more

Another great country cookin' restaurant! sam' Pizza ETC. in Walnut cove delivers way more than pizza, in a homey atmosphere. Our group of five was promptly seated and orders taken in a timely fashion by the friendly servers. Food was delivered quickly on a busy Saturday night. Even the owner, Sam, came by for a visit. I had the Texas Burger. A 1/2 pound, freshly ground burger, served with bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and a special ranch sauce on Texas Toast. A delicious and filling burger. Regular cheese burgers were also fresh and flavorful. Served with your choice of toppings. There is a chicken wrap that is also very good. A pretty large wrap that could be shared. Sides included crispy, house cut fries of house cut, fresh chips. Prices are quite reasonable. Five of us dined for $55 plus tip. We can recommend Sam's for a quick sandwich or pizza. Menu has something for everyone, including a classic Carolina red hot dog (review tot cone later). See read more

This was my first time to Sam's. My family ate dinner here with another family. Despite the trunk or treat happening on Main, we actually were sat quickly. Our waitress was Haden, and she was great! It was a busy nice, and they've packed everyone into the room. It's a pretty normal looking restaurant on the inside. As far as the food goes, I had an order of garlic parmesan wings, which were really good. My wife had a buffalo chicken sandwich, which was okay. The chicken had a spice to it and was red but it was just missing something. We had some chicken tenders and a plan burger along with fries and onion rings. All of that was decent. There was also a cheese pizza and cheesy breadsticks for the other family. I didn't try any of it, but the kids inhaled it. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was good and the price and location is great. I'd come back for sure. read more

Good variety of food choices. Fresh salads. Hearty sandwiches. Very good service. A great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

THE PIZZA IS GREAT!!! The crust is hard sometimes, but it's great. Service can be kind of rude sometimes, but they can be better It's pretty loud in there. I don't like the ambiance. read more

Delicious pizza. Great service! Will be going there again soon with my family. Daughter and granddaughter loved it

The steak and cheese sub is so good! The staff is very friendly as well. The chairs though....not comfortable

Good solid pizza, no soggy crust here. Good tasting sauce, could probably stand a little more toppings. Salad bar, though we didn't partake, was very fresh looking. Service was excellent, and it's a nice clean establishment. Will definitely eat here again. read more

Food and service were great. Cashier was attentive. Service with a smile. If I could offer one suggestion, they need specials.

This local pizza joint offers so much more than pizza! Their wings are amazing, sandwiches are hearty, salad bar is jam packed, oh and the pizza is good too! During our most recent visit, we ordered the Buffalo wings and toast as an appetizer. It had the perfect amount of spicy heat and the wings and toast came out piping hot! My Man ordered the Hamburger Steak; it was juicy and not over done! I ordered the Chicken Wrap. I had them throw it back on the grill after they wrapped it up just to seal in the flavors. This is an amazing place to stop and eat or order take out if you are hiking Hanging Rock! Most Sincerely, Dayla read more

The food is good, my husband love their personal pan meat lover pizza. I love the steak and cheese subs. Very friendly staff.

I love the salad bar here. Plenty of choices. The GF pizza is awesome and I love that it's within walking distance to the Dairy Bar and even within walking distance to the Just Plain country store. read more

Great pizza and service. Restaurant was busy and food came out relatively quick. Parking lot had adequate space

We had heard great things about the place but the day we took our daughter and her family there it was awful. The table, chairs and floor had food left from ppl before us. We ask for another seat but they were all the same. The only thing that was eaten was the chicken wings and that was my 9 yo grandson. The pizza was greasy and the crust wasn't done. read more

This place is very well know in the Cove and stays pretty busy. They have good pizza and the tater wedges are amazing!! Local owners, locals work there so that's a big plus for me. They have a buffet on Tuesday nights a great choice especially with kids. Bathrooms and restaurant is always clean which is hard to find nowadays. I work not far from there and we often place to go orders with them and we've never had an issue. Bonus to this place is they give alot back to the community and are always making donations etc to the local schools and sports teams. read more

Really nothing special about this place. If you live close, go, but don't drive a ways to visit. Food took forever, and was not that good. Pictures are Teriyaki wings, we also got a sub and pizza. Service was subpar which further lowers the rating. They did have a rather odd variety of menu items, take that as you will. Chicken and vegetable stir fry at a pizza restaurant? Try it at your own risk. Definitely not for us. I'm sure takeout pizza here would be pretty good though read more

I've been gluten free for almost a year and one of the foods I miss the most is pizza. My family and I stopped in at Sams after a ballgame. I ordered the all meat pizza on gluten free crust. I usually don't expect much, but this was amazing!! It was so crunchy and it had the best flavor. It was just as good when I ate the leftovers 2 days later. Thanks for a great experience. PS- my family loved their pizza too. read more

The "Etc" in the name should have tipped me off. Served me some slop that was supposed to be a quesadilla. I didn't eat and my mother got sick. We will never be back. read more

Great pizza and wings!! Reasonably price and good staff!! Atmosphere reminds you of an old school pizza joint! Very good place!!

Burger and fries were adequate but their pizza is horrifyingly bad. I don't get it. Making great pizza isn't that hard. I know this because that is what I've resorted to since there isn't an edible pizza to be found in this area. It's a shame that we have to drive 25-30 minutes away to get edible Italian food. I'm leaving 2-stars because my partner grew up here and thinks it's fine lol. Also, if you like country style food, it's probably okay. I don't, so I wouldn't know. Also, the service was great and staff is friendly. Just don't order the pizza if you aren't from here. read more

sam's is always great! service is always good & atmosphere is always friendly. we always love it! read more

I know this is not a fancy tablecloth and fine china place, but I'm giving this a 5 star review because the pizza is so delicious! I am picky about my pizza crust - I don't like thick doughy crusts- and this crust is fabulous!! Thin, but not paper thin- crunchy and chewy at the same time. I visited tonight for dinner and had takeout last week - delicious pizza both times! My husband ordered the Thai chili sauce wings that he enjoyed. While I'm not a wing fan, I did like the sauce - both sweet and spicy. Bonus: Sunday they have $7 draft pitchers! They also have the football games on! read more

What can I say? Best Pizza in Walnut Cove bar none. No one does it better than Sams.

pretty good. we made the trip from kville. busy place. good variety. food was decent salad bar. probably wouldn't make the drive just for sams but would definitely eat there again if in the area. read more

Best pizza in area staff is always friendly the owner is always there. Great environment. Keep up the good work

Went to this place tonight Thursday 7-23-20 for dinner. I live between Walnut Cove and Madison. There are not many good places around to eat. We have not been to Sam's in a year or two and we saw they had an updated menu so I thought we would try them out again. We got pizza for the kids and I tried a piece. It was ok at best. It reminded me of a frozen pizza. They never really had good pizza in the past. The pizza is a little better than it used to be, but I wouldn't go just for the pizza. I got the Pimento Cheese burger. It was pretty good. The pimento cheese was a little watery, I'm used to the thicker pimento cheese. We got the cheese fries for appetizer, and it was good, cheese and bacon on the fries. Whole family like it. Wife got the Buffalo Chick wrap. She like that, no complaints at all. Over all good place. I would just not order pizza there, which is ironic because it's call Sam's Pizza, LOL. Order something else off the menu. read more

We eat here several times a week!!! They have great food and great service!! We love their pizza, wings & salads!

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE We have been eating at Sam's Pizza for years. It use to be one of our favorite restaurants when Johnny owned it. This place has just went down hill. We went last Sunday for lunch & had a terrible experience to the point we have decided we will not go back. We have never said that about any other restaurant before and we travel all over the world but the experience we had last Sunday was the WORST! They brought our appetizer & our main course out at the same time. BOTH WERE COLD. The waitress forgot to bring me my salad & so I told her to just not worry about it since we had already got our appetizer and main course. She still brought it & charged us for it. This place is terrible now since Johnny sold it. When my husband went to pay, the waitress asked how everything was.. I told her that it was the worst experience we had ever had there. Her reply was "Sorry we got busy". I was a waitress for 5 years so I know what it's like to be "busy" I worked at a restaurant that stayed busy from the time we opened until closing time. That was no excuse for our food being cold & receiving all of our food at once. Oh and having to ask multiple times for a refill. Do not waste your money on eating at this restaurant. If you are looking for somewhere in the walnut cove area to eat at I would highly recommend Olympic Family Restaurant.. read more

What a great family restaurant! Delicious pizza, spaghetti, and even half price wine on Wednesday! Who could ask for more! With the new ownership, the pizza dough has changed - wow, I know I will go back soon! read more

What can I say? This place is great. Pizza is amazing. It's nice to have a hometown alternative to big box pizza companies. Well worth the drive to Walnut Cove. read more

No, no, no. The other reviewer about it going back 1000 years in time was so correct, it was so awful we could not eat it. We will not be back. read more

Awesome place. Better people. If you're in town and you like thin crust pizza or wings and cold beer then stop by.

You know that one place, everybody is comfortable eating at ? " Yeah, Sam's Pizza". They have a good menu of selections. You can always have what you want, from a three course meal to pizza and wings. The service is always nothing short of excellent. I almost forgot about the salad bar, is always fresh. Enjoy. read more

Not a bad place to grab a bite to eat if you're in or passing through Walnut Cove. Nothing really special about this place. The service is decent, the food is decent too. I wouldn't stray far from their pizza buffet - you really can't beat the buffet for less than $9. I got the pizza buffet last week and it was good. The pizza was pretty good and the buffet includes other options like popcorn chicken, potato wedges, garlic bread, spaghetti, and a salad bar. read more

Sam's sets the art of pizza making back about 1000 years. If you enjoy a crust that tastes like it came from the old Chef-Boy-Ardee pizza in a box, this is the place. Go pick up a frozen pizza and it would be an upgrade. The beer selection reads like something off of the Dukes of Hazzard..Keystone, Busch, Coors, Natural Light...and don't forget the frosted plastic mug for a special treat. Skip this place. read more

Went to Sam's Pizza and had spaghetti and the salad bar. I was impressed with the variety on the salad bar. The spaghetti was very good. I liked the new menu and the fact that the new owner really is named Sam! I will go back! read more

It's pretty good idk their pizza isn't that gross I dunno why that other guy was being mean it's not like amazing pizza but it's good
