The best pizza I've had in Wausau!! I stopped in after work tonight on a friend's recommendation and boy they were right. It's such a cute little place tucked away near the bridge. It has the perfect old fashioned Pizza Parlor feel to it. The Extra Small pizza was perfect for me to get a couple of meals out of it - so good! read more

The most bland Italian sausage I've ever had. Ordered the special, the toppings were very sparse. They were incapable of cutting through the crust on about half the pie. Since we were at a hotel without any utensils we had to try to pull apart the pieces which resulted in the toppings sliding off. We threw away half the pizza as it was too messy to deal with. One of the worst pizza experiences I've had. I'm not sure why I even gave them the second star. If this is considered one of the best pizzas in the Wausau area I won't bother with the others. read more

Simply the best pizza. What else matters. Atmosphere is relaxed, not loud. Service has always been excellent! Friendly, prompt... love this place read more

Legendary pizza that makes you feel a little like you've stepped back in time. Whatever you order, make sure it has sausage on it. Did you know when pizza is cut into squares you can eat as much as you want and it doesn't count. :) Great friendly service and a decor that just feels good. read more

Some classic, delicious and fresh pizza. They have a variety of toppings at a decent price. They have single size pizzas all the way up to family sized pizzas. We stopped here since it's one of the best rated places in the area, as Chicagoans we were not disappointed. Very much reccomend! Our server was a sweethearts and the workers were all welmcinf when we walked in. It's also cool to see the pizzas being made right in front of house! read more

I love thin crust pizza and Sam's does it justice. The sauce is flavorful and it's always crispy! The employees are very courteous and the atmosphere is fun when you have kids. The wait time for pizzas can be a bit long, which is understandable as they do a lot of business. But don't expect to get anything right away. Another downside is that I don't see any way to order online for pickup, only delivery. Having to physically go in to make a to-go order is such a hassle and with the wait times for a pizza it's a little frustrating to have to sit there for 30 minutes. Other than that, I recommend their pizza and business! read more

We had a children birthday party ! Kind of cool, the service was good and the food ok read more

Delicious pizza. Still tastes the same every time. Salad was fresh as well. Everything you remember is still great. Excellent service.

Always friendly staff Great pizza and fast service We like both locations to eat at. Or we do take out also Our children really like the arcade room Great party room at Schofield location They go the extra mile to make sure your event is a great success. read more

A favorite for our family. For every celebration, we usually get Sam's pizza. We always do takeout and have never eaten in.

Have a pizza craving and your in wausau? Well, you lucky dog you... put Sams pizza in Apple or Google maps and get over here! I went the wrong way down the one way getting there but hey, no one is perfect and I'm from out of town... parking is to be desired but the food makes that all disappear. I took my daughter and a bunch of friends tubing at Sylvan hill (another must do for your winter to do list) and decided we needed to feed the beasts before driving back to Green Bay. The pizza were out of this world, the garlic cheese bread was awesome and even the mozzarella sticks were good! There are some games for kids to play and the staff was all very friendly and accommodating for our boisterous group of young teenage girls. We will stop by again when in town. read more

Sam's Pizza - Wausau - Two large pizzas and appetizers lasted mere seconds... it was that good! - Pizza Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

Delicious pizza! Half pepperoni Half Sausage Great atmosphere! Staff very polite and know how to treat customers! Definitely deserves top review! Paul read more

I had heard this was the BEST pizza in Wausau...naturally, I had to give it a try. WOW! What a disappointment. The bright spot was a friendly wait staff. The pizza itself was mediocre at best. I did enjoy the fresh, local sausage they used. And the crust was thin and crispy. But the sauce puddled in the middle of the pie making it soupy. read more

With other pizza places closing(at the time) I decided to cross to the west side we went over to Sam'sexcellent as usual I have been going there for about ten years the pizza has always been tasty,building clean, service friendly and prompt.Highly recommended read more

I love that they do part-baked for those of us that have to travel to a rural area without any delivery services. We can pop it in the oven at home and it is super good! read more

Cute family pizza parlor. This is the place to go if you like thin crust! at Sam's Club they sell discount gift cards FYI and reasonable prices.My kids love going here versus other pizza parlors because, they have a little game room where the kids can play while we wait for the pizza. Restaurant was clean, bathrooms were clean, Service was good. Most of their servers are teenagers which is great giving the younger generation a chance at a first job. Sams also has hand scooped ice cream and a few beers on tap. read more

Pretty good pizza shop. I ordered the garlic cheese bread and a pepperoni & sausage pizza. The garlic cheese bread was decent, but I couldn't really taste any garlic. It was more like bread with cheese on it. The pizza was pretty good. The crust was thin and crispy. The pizza sauce was sweeter than most, but still good. The homemade sausage was really good. I wasn't a fan of the pizza being cut into squares. This made each slice a bite or two at most. Plus they didn't cut through the crust so it made getting the pieces apart even harder. I'd recommend it over any chain pizza place any day of the week. read more

One bite, everyone knows the rules. 5.9 pizza rating for me. For the price I would give this place 2.5 stars. Very reasonable prices. But way to greasy. I had sausage and pepperoni. One reason it may have had a little extra grease was the sausage pieces were gigantic. Which could be good but they were not cooked enough for my liking. The dough was good, but could have been cooked a minute longer. I though the outside peices were a 3 star and the inside a 2 star pizza. Old school pizza community atmosphere I did like. Maybe in Wausau this is what they like but I spend 34 eating Chicago pizza, not Chicago tavern style quality. read more

I was afraid to try this pizza. Wisconsinites say its great.... wisconsinites have crappy taste and most places they tell you is good actually sucks. However this pizza was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised and think I found a pizza place to order from when I crave a thin crust pizza read more

Consistently the best service & best pizza I've eaten anywhere. Highly recommend!!! Never disappointed! read more

Well if ya grew up in Wausau this possibly is you're favorite. Dine in is pretty rad with the old 50s dressed servers and cooks. Juke box and even a pinball machine that doesn't work too well. Retro you can tell the place hasn't changed. As for the pizza, haha makes ya laugh it's so good. One of the best thin crust I have had in my life. The sauce is always perfectly placed as well as season. I imagine their recipe hasn't changed in 65 years and why would you if it's perfect...... It's pricey when you compare to lil Cesar's but it's justified..!!!! Well justified, If in Wausau go here for pizza. Side note they cut their pizzas in squares so don't be surprised!!!!! read more

Sam's Pizza - Wausau - Started eating before I remembered to take a picture . Large pepperoni and sausage always! - Pizza Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

I crave this pizza, I keep this pizza in my freezer when its too early to order this pizza. Tonight they messed up my pizza, which lets be fair everyone is human it happens. Whats not ok is when you call to tell someone that the pizza was wrong, the second person you talk to finally apologizes right before hanging up. The first person we talked to couldn't understand that we received the wrong order and kept reading what we worded back to us. The manager *Brian* I believe just had us repete the wrong order and then asked us if we want a credit or a new pizza... at some point during all of this it felt like we were just annoying for even calling. The pizza was inedible, I will order again and again bc I love the pizza but do something about your employees, its the service industry. read more

Amazing pizza. Prices are very good, the quality is even better. They don't deliver but you can use a food delivery service for a nominal fee. read more

Sam's Pizza - Wausau - Yum - Pizza Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

Pizza is so so, but the kids LOVE the games and they are WAY cheaper than the other places in town for games.

This is my absolute favorite pizza place. Everything is homemade and delicious. I would 100/100 recommend it especially if you enjoy thin crust pizza. It NEVER disappoints! read more

This place is a Wausau classic and institution. The crust is perfect - thin and crispy! The sauce, cheese, and toppings are very well balanced. You can easily keep eating square after square or their delicious pizza. I've been coming here since childhood, and I love the old fashioned/retro/1950's feel to this place. They serve Coke in old fashioned Coca-Cola glasses, there's a jukebox, and leftovers are wrapped in paper bags emblazoned with the Sam's logo that seemingly has been unchanged for decades. A pizza place as it should be! read more

Employees making fresh pizza, handling toppings, taking them out of oven and touching to cut...All without gloves OR masks...Touching and breathing all over the food before and after baking. Love their pizza, but can no longer order from here as they are not taking the health of their employees and customers seriously. read more

Fantastic pizza. Now second generation owners Jodie and Vince and daughters have done a great job maintaining the fantastic recipe while bringing the business into the 21st Century. Have been there hundreds of time, have picked up pizzas hundreds of times, never disappointed. You must try Sams Pizza, you will not be disappointed. read more

I was visiting from MI and wanted some pizza on my birthday, Firstly the staff was very kind and helpful. Secondly the pizza i was served was worse than any store bought frozen pizza i have ever had. Couldn't eat it and got a full refund because they were very kind. Paper thin hard crust cut into about 100 tiny squares and looked just the worst. I hope they can do better in the future. Would avoid. Pizza was 15$ ouch. read more

Love this place! Whenever we visit our Wausau friends (Bob and Queen Anne) they take us here as part of our dream weekend experience. We get the Sam's Special which is soooo tasty. Wash it down with a frosted mug of root beer. Two locations, same great quality at each. Check this place out and tell 'em Bob (a/k/a The Double B) sent you. read more

What a great place! Atmosphere: check. Awesome tasting pizza (Sam's Special): check. Great service: check. Friendly servers: check. Cost: check (please;-) Really, $18.50 for 16" - leftovers = 2 more meals (total of 4). Pretty nice. read more

Sam's Pizza - Wausau - Inside has great music too! - Pizza Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

My favorite pizza in Wausau. We stop here every time we come to town. It's a classic joint that has lasted generations. They specialize in a super thin, crispy crust style pizza that can't be beat. We always get the sam's special. read more

Always good. Can be a little salty at times but the staff is always nice. We buy from here regularly.

Amazing pizza!!!! Great staff and a great place to bring your family! Not recommended to lower class families as it is quite pricey at 23 dollars per pizza but let me tell you you get what you pay for! It is recommended that you ask for extra cheese because they don't put a ton on there but once you do that it is excellent pizza! I would choose my hometown Sam's Pizza over Dominoes, Pizza Hut or any other big business! The thin crust is amazing and they use quality toppings and dough is hand made right there! read more

Best thin crust I have ever eaten. The crust is outstanding and so is the sauce. Sausage is standard stuff. Cheese is just enough. For a person who grew up in Chicago and lived on pizza around NYC for years. Yeah, Sam's is the best. read more

Sam's Pizza is the best in Wausau if you are looking for classic, thin crust pizza. The Wausau location (not the Schofield one) has much better ambience and is the original location. Try out the cheesy bread with marinara sauce along with the pepperoni and/or sausage pizza. Also, the 1919 root beer on tap is tasty. Definitely recommend Sam's Pizza. read more

We love this throwback to our childhoods. Kids love the arcade and the pizza is good and greasy, in a delicious way. Love that they have frosty mugs of rootbeer too. read more

Sam's pizza is a place I have been eating at since as long as I can remember! The Sam's on Elm street in Wausau is the best. Garlic bread is delicious!My favorite pizza from there is a Sam's special- has onion,green pepper and sausage with optional mushrooms. read more

Love that they deliver to Chatterbox bar :) and that each piece of pizza had one little sausage on each one. Of course super great pizza and friendly service. read more

The food was great. The service.... Not so much. Maybe the servers are just grumpy because they have to wear those fugly uniforms.
