Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Grill

This place used to be good but the meal and experience we just had was awful. The pizza sauce tasted like dishwater, the pizzas barely had any toppings and were soaked with grease, the service was slow (only one glass of water the whole meal, no check back to see how the meal was and we had to ask for the bill, and table next to us had dirty dishes on it for most of our time there). The only positive is that the server recognized that we weren’t happy and sent over the manager who took care of most of the bill and we were given water cups to go.

Every Time I eat here I regret it. Finally Unilocaling about it. This is Vegas, a city where amazing food is everywhere. Sammys just doesn’t serve its purpose, the pizza is overly cooked, the salads are delicious but drastically overpriced and most importantly the service is the worst, absolute god awful service I have ever received every time I go and the layout is horrible. I won’t be stepping foot in there again.

I’ve been here two times but to be fair, I’ve never actually had pizza at this place which has «pizza» in it’s name. This review is for the salads, which is all I’ve had.
I came here yesterday, 4÷14÷16 and picked up a salad for lunch. Kudos to Sammy’s for providing gluten free and vegan options on their menu! And thanks to vegan Unilocalers for the tip! I called in and ordered the vegan Red Quinoa salad sans tomatoes. You have a choice of the individual size ($ 8.75) or the large size ($ 13.50). I called in to order so I asked the girl on the phone the difference between the individual and large and she said the individual is 4 cups and the large is 8 cups. I decided on the large since it was double the size for less than double the price and I could just save my leftovers for later in the day. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I got to the restaurant in 10 minutes and it was ready. Thumbs up for the fast, friendly service!
The salad was yummy! I’m not a beet fan but the Citrus Chili Vinaigrette dressing was delicious and has a little heat to it which pairs well with the mild-​flavored beets and the arugula which I always describe as the spicy green. Additionally, the salad had red onions, avocados, scallions, almonds, parsley, supposedly mint (though I did not taste any in my salad), and of course, red quinoa.
I’ve had one other salad here, the Original Chopped Chicken, a few months ago before my vegan adventure began. I thought it was good but not exceptional, which is why I haven’t been dying to come back. However, my concern is the size of the salads. When I ordered the chopped salad, I ordered the individual size which I swear was similar in size to the large I received in the quinoa salad yesterday. I wish I had a picture of the chopped salad to compare the two. The quinoa salad was a big portion so I don’t know what I was expecting, family sized maybe? It’s possible I just received extra in the chopped salad. Maybe it’s different when you dine in but the sizing should be consistent because I spent $ 13.50 instead of $ 8.75 and I was little bummed by this.
All in all, I’d say this place is a decent lunch bite and I’m very happy to see healthy, vegan options on the menu. I’m sure I’ll be back for their Red Quinoa salad!

My boyfriend and I saw each other for the very first time at a Sammy’s. It holds a special place in our hearts. Since meeting, we return each month to celebrate our anniversary. Last night was one of our monthly anniversary dates. So… We accidentally ordered the wrong pizza (we eat the same meal every month). The pizza arrives and I told the server it’s not what we usually order. She was SO SWEET about it! No problem, I’ll get you the right thing, and then she said that the first one that came out would be thrown out and we were welcome to try some, so she left it with us. We were like, ok, so we each tried a piece, but it wasn’t our usual ritual pizza so we left the rest. Thank you for always going above and beyond… From the lovebirds

This place is for women. Nothing on the menu a MAN would want. It’s all organicy, low fat tasteless woosie food with no flavor. Their pizza tastes like freakin cardboard. Yuck. Gimme some MEAT for gods sake. My sisters drag me here because they like the salad but I leave hungry every time.

We were frequent Sammys customers when they were in Centennial hills and loved it. We went to Sammys on Flamingo we ordered the Humus w/​flat bread, coconut shrimp and the chopped chicken salad. It took forever to get our small salad we kept asking where is the salad coming from the waiter kept telling us it coming. Well it’s coming took almost 20 minutes to ½ hr, in the mean time we had our shrimp and humus. We wanted everything together but it never happened. Don’t think we will be back.

I love this place. we go almost three times a month. their shrimp pizza is to die for. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars, is because they’re take out is always way less then their actual serving portions. However the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

The vegetarian pizza is so good, you don’t even miss the meat. If you have a sweet tooth, try the fresh donuts with the chocolate and raspberry sauces. It takes a few minutes, but is well worth the wait.

One of my favorite restaurants. I don’t go as often as I’d like to but when I can I always always always, get the lobster bisque with honestly any of their wood fired pizzas. It’s good every time. Today I decided to skip the pizza (had some for dinner last night) and ordered the Mediterranean sampler plate on the appetizer list. Warm slices of pita bread with 3 choices of dip. Lebni, hummus and Baba ghanoush. If you’re a fan of Mediterranean food you will love this plate. I have to admit that is way better than Paymons Mediterranean. Enjoy!

Not bad for vegan pizza, was hoping for more veggie options though! Music and lighting was nice! Service was friendly but I would have appreciated a heads up on the extra $$ for every single extra veggie! I think there are other pizza places that are better that don’t up charge for everything! $ 2.50 extra for spinach!!! Do you see any spinach on there? Those green things are peppers, which I didn’t ask for!!!

I needed a quick dinner with some leftovers. I had been to this Sammy’s for a Unilocal event several years ago and decided to give it a go. I phoned my order for an Italian sausage and a NY Style pizza. The person on the phone told me it would be 10 to 15 minutes. I immediately left and got there just as they were about to be removed from the oven.
During the payment time, Beto, the man at the counter, asked how In was going to enjoy the pizza at home – with a beer? When I said no, I would be having iced tea, he went to the counter and got me a take out container of their passion fruit iced tea to try compliments of Sammy’s. Nice touch.
The pizzas were good. There’s nothing special about them as far as gourmet topping but I wasn’t looking for that. This is OK standard, chain pizza, and it was a nice change from what I normally get. And the leftovers make wonderful breakfast when you eat the slices cold out of the refrigerator with plenty of red pepper sprinkled on top!

Best chicken caesar ever. I can have a piece of chicken with every bite and the salad will run out before the chicken.
Only down side is with tax the salad is over $ 20

I like to eat at this location, and I do quite often I have noticed and a change in management and some change in servers (and change is not always bad!) I was there last night and i have to say I have never really had an issue. The staff is usually always up beat and attentive the restaurant is clean and the food is always good. I usually go in for happy hour where it is half off tapas i believe, Duck tacos, hummus and the flat bread are my favorites and not too long ago I recently went in for dinner with my family it was a bit busy but we were sat within seconds and waited just a few minutes for our drinks which was fine once the drinks came we ordered our dinner family style: the greek salad with chicken and a pepperoni pizza and the arugula pear pizza which was great and just enough for the four of us we ended up boxing up some of the leftovers.
This place is great for a good healthy dinner/​lunch/​snack what have you, whether its your date night or if your with your family… the staff here is always willing to accomidate in what ever you need and there menu is great with their wide variety of healthy options.

The purpose of 2 stars for this location is NOT because of the food or our waiter, it is because the manager has Very Poor Management/​leadership skills. She decided to have several LENGTHY conversations with our server in the kitchen instead of letting him do his job and take care of his customers.
Our drinks sat empty for a very long period, wine that was ordered never came without having to ask for the status of what we ordered, other things we needed were never addressed and again it was not the waiters fault but the manager who would not let him do his job.
Not only did she ignore all the customers in the restaurant which she had a clear view of, she held three people up from doing their jobs and never asked anyone else to cover. All our waiter could do was apologize for the long wait on food & drink.
This was not his fault and the manager should be apologizing. We were there for my mom’s 81^st bday and it was just horrible service thanks solely to the manager. Needless to say even though this location is closers to my mom, we will NOT be back to this location again. Green Valley is closer to our house and I will go pick my mom up, bring her to the GV location & take her back to Summerlin for a better environment, service & overall management. Very disappointed with this manager making my mom’s 81^st bday a bad experience.

Had dinner here tonight and service was appropriately paced and friendly. Ordered hummus, BBQ chicken pizza, and Burrata pizza. Pizzas are shareable, but marketed as individual; they’re sliced into 6 pieces and we had half of both left over.
The good: whatever pita/​flatbread they serve with hummus is delicious and burrata pesto pizza meets expectations (I also liked the crust).
The not so good: judging by the amount of paprika on top of the hummus, the container broke while that were «sprinkling» it on top… there was a lot! Also, it certainly is not worth $ 10 for pita and hummus. The BBQ pizza leaves a weird texture in your mouth, similar to how an after taste makes you feel. I would not order the BBQ pizza again.
Overall the food is good and I would visit again, but it is not as good as many other pizza joints throughout the city, especially for the price.

I’ve been to at least 7 Sammy’s locations and always think their service is great, except for this one. Came in for dinner with my wife at 7 pm on a Saturday. Got seated promptly and then waited for over 10 mins before we bounced. Place had 8 tables of customers and was over half empty. As we are walking out the manager comes over and asked if she could help us. If it was busy I would have understood.
She could have helped tell the four severs who were carrying on in the kitchen they had customers except she was one of the ones carrying on. Won’t be back to this Sammy’s.

My husband and I were in the neighborhood looking for something to eat for dinner. I saw on Unilocal that Sammy’s was nearby, and was also surprised that it only had three and a half stars. We have a Sammy’s by our house and love it! Let me just say, I am not surprised anymore. We walked in around 6:30… It should have been packed. The one by our house always is for dinner, especially on a Saturday night. It was dead, but we already knew we liked the food, and figured the wait wouldn’t be long since they weren’t busy. WRONG.
We never got to eat the food, because we didn’t even order. We sat there, in the empty restaurant for over 10 minutes, and weren’t even looked at by the four waiters and waitresses just hanging out in the kitchen. The manager was standing off to the side of the kitchen, chatting it up with yet another waiter. Eventually, a waiter came by once he was flagged down by another table. He walked by us twice, without even a glance. Granted, he may not have been assigned to our table. Then, the manager walks the room. She gives us a quick glance, and keeps walking back to the kitchen where all of the wait staff is having a grand time.
At this point, my husband and I are out. The manager sees us heading toward the door, runs after us, and asks us if she can help with anything. Uh, yeah… How about a waiter or waitress? We tell her why we are leaving, and she asks if she can take our order, drink order. Uh, yeah, NO. If you think I’m exaggerating, there were three other tables occupied in the whole restaurant. Ridiculous.

The power lunch review.
The Skinny: came in for power lunch special but the food was disappointing (2) service: our waitress was pretty good and made sure our water glasses were filled (4) value: in the end, it is all about the food. There are better joints that serve $ 10 sit down lunch. (2).
We haven’t been back at Sammy’s for a while. I think since they eliminated the pomegranate fattouche salad off the menu, I really haven’t felt the urge to come back.
But we saw an ad for the $ 10 power lunch which consists of 2 items off a lunch specials menu (soup, salad, pizza). Intrigued we decided to give it a go.
We selected the tomato basil soup, arugula and fig salad, the 8 inch spicy Italian pizza and the pepperoni pizza.
The tomato basil soup was pretty bad. It was tasted pretty much like tomatoes from the can. Cannot recommend.
The pizzas were not what we expected. Based on the descriptions, the pepperoni pizza should have red peppers while the Italian sausage pizza should have oregano and caramelized onions. No such luck. The pizzas we received were single topping pepperoni and sausage pizzas. In addition to the soggy crust, the slices were dripping with grease.
The arugula salad was okay except the figs. The reconstituted dried figs were kinda weird and too sweet. I think cranberries would have worked way better.
Our server was pretty good at making sure we had everything we needed. Interestingly enough we were served our pizzas before our soup/​salad due to issues kitchen. Nevertheless, our food was hot and our glasses were always filled.
Long story short, I realized why we have not been back in a while… Once one of our favorite menu items was gone, we felt no rush to return. After the food we had here, I can see why. 2 starred review.

Sammy’s is my new happy hour spot! 3 – 6 Daily with half off tapas and $ 2 of wines by the glass. Everything that Mike or Emily recommended was delicious! The service was engaging, fun, and welcoming. I’m going back today after making sure I write my review to go with the pics I took a couple days ago ;) thank you guys!
Did this get posted???

My high from this place has worn off and now comes the sad part where you realize you won’t be back.
Feeling kind of embarrassed, considering my out of town step dad, a total foodie tried it, and thought it was horrible. I couldn’t have agreed with him more.
Order take out. Was told to give them 20 minutes. When we got there the food was Luke warm. Once home, it was cold. Duck tacos were drenched in sauce, the tortillas fell apart when we lifted them. Good but not good enough considering how much we paid for something we had to eat with a spoon. I swear, the lobster Mac n cheese has hardly any lobster. Lastly, the pizza was extremely greasy and cold. Making the cheese gross. The only positive were the fries and that’s not saying much.
It’s sad cause I was impressed with my first visit and the update was a real bummer.
