Sam’s Pizza Shop

Awesome pizza place! My wife’s favorite for 30+ years. We grab a tray every time we pass through Canonsburg..

Just there 20 minutes ago owner seems like nice enough guy and pizza is ok but he just pissed off a possible new customer. I order he tells me 25 minutes. I come back with 5 to spare. I wait another 20 as he gives my pizza away to all his regular customers he knows. This is why delis use numbers. Such bull! You just lost a future customer. I will spread the word! Jimmyzs pizza here I come.
I was ready to tell him to keep my money he will need with that sort of business practices!

The food is great, but that’s not what makes Sam’s so special. It’s the people, the owners are so friendly and personable. You feel like your visiting very special friends when you walk in… Excellent food and charming service

Sam’s pizza is flat out amazing! The best shop in canonsburg and one if the best in the area!

Crust is thick and crunchy and resembles cardboard. The sauce is bitter and has no seasoning; just a bland tomatoey goo. The pepperoni is put on the pizza after it’s cooked, so it’s ice cold and floppy. This pizza is going to be gross to any outsider who didn’t grow up eating it. The place is clean and the service is very good and friendly, which is the only reason I gave it more than one star.

I absolutely love the pizza here! It’s by the slice so you can get a different topping on each piece if you want! Quality ingredients and always fresh plus it’s very reasonably priced !! Their newest topping is bacon and it’s a must try!

Amazing food and great service and prices!

Gotta love small town America. The Mayor of Canonsburg actually owns this pizza shop, and his name’s not Sam. Let’s go back a few years, Sam’s pizza was actually owned by an older Italian fellow named Sam. He was a hoot too. Say you wanted ten slices of pizza and he had nine slices ready, you got nine slices. He’d never make a whole pizza (28 cuts is a whole pizza) just to fill an order. On the other hand if you wanted ten slices and he had twelve, you’d GET twelve slices and pay for twelve slices. He was a real Pizza Nazi to borrow a Seinfeldism.
Today «Mayor Dave» is a little nice to his customers. The pizza still tastes the same. Sam made sure Dave knew how to make the pizza exactly the way he did.
Square cuts, garlicky sauce, a bit on the sour side for my tastes, and lots of cheese. Toppings of course are extra but you get a lot. The crust is crispy and not chewy. Thin and airy. If you’re looking for thick pizza with a chewy crust, go elsewhere, they only serve it Sicilian style. Great sandwiches too.
Located right next to Sarris’ Candy and Ice Cream Shoppe on Adams Ave.

This is it for me! Crisp chewy crust, delicious sauce, perfect cheese. I always eat a few slices in the parking lot before driving home. I live ten minutes away.

Sam’s pizza has consistently been my favorite pizza since I was just a kid and I am now a mother of grown children, Sam has moved, but the people that took over his shop still come through with the magic that Sam started way back when. It’s always my first stop when I come home to visit Canonsburg.
The only other pizza I have had in my life that is as original and as good as Sam’s is Beto’s of Pittsburgh. Every other state I have lived in and the dozens of pizza shops I have tried don’t even come close to Sam’s. Everyone I have ever introduced to Sam’s has fallen in love with the pizza too. I wish I knew how to make this pizza myself, and I have tried! Close, but no cigar.
The new (now getting old) owners do a great job. I absolutely recommend trying this pizza if you visit Sarris’ Chocolate factory. Put an order in, then browse around Sarris and come back to pick up your delicious pie. It’s pick up only. THE BOMB! :D

The pizza seems different than when sam made it. The sqaure slices are small, the crust is good the sauce is just okay. It’s in an old house which the Sarris Candy factory had to build around because they refused to just move to another old house.

Best Pizza Ever! The crust is absolutely amazing! Every time I come to Canonsburg, I have to stop by and pick up some Sam’s Pizza!

The Italian hoagies from Sam’s Pizza Shop are great. I think that the only place that has better Italian hoagies anywhere near here is Fiori’s Pizza in Pittsburgh!
