Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Grill

Sammy’s is now one of my favorite places to eat. The food is fantastic as is the service. It takes wowing me to get a five start, but when they told me that all first time guests get a free «Messy Sundae.» I was sold. We had a couple different flavors of the pizza which was fantastic both that night and warmed over as left overs. The sundae was out of this world and well done. We truly enjoyed and it is definitely worth a trip. We will be back. Thanks for a great time!

Just in love with their pear arugula pizza. We get it every time we are there. I also get their balsamic chicken salad and I am glad they got individual sizes now. Tomato basil soup and lobster bisque are crazy good too. I just need to try their chili. We can eat here everyday and eat the same pizza all the time. Maybe next time I’ll try their pasta or just something new.

Not bad, but not wow either.

Not so happy, happy hour at Sammy’s with the new, «Happy bites» happy hour menu. The new menu charges pretty much $ 3.00 for the majority of happy hour menu food items resulting in a significantly reduced portion compared to the previous happy hour menu. You essentially get two pieces of food with each order (ie– 2 meatballs, 2 duck Tacos, etc.) By the time you order enough food to fill you up, your bill is far more expensive than the previous happy hour menu was. The food and service are still very good but the portions and pricing are not. We’ll be checking into happy hour alternatives and see what other options are out there…

Went back after at least a year of not eating there due to bad exprriences and it was very good. Had the BBQ pizza. Only thing we wish they offered is half salads… as its a lotbif you want salad with pizza or other entrée and they have no house salad. :)

The chopped chicken salad is $$$$$
The hummus is tasty and well prepared.
The pizzas are adequate size and tasty.
The service is good and the have a nice clean place. Nothing is spectacular but nothing to complain about. The food is solid and consistent with no surprises. It is a great lunch spot and you can’t go wrong eating here.

We sat in the patio since we brought our dog. It was a bit chilly outside but they have a heat lamp at the corner. We ordered the chicken chopped salad and the New York style pizza. The portion for the salad was huge. However, I think that there could have probably been more chicken for the amount of salad. They were light with the dressing… I could hardly taste it. I had to ask them for more dressing. The olives were also a bit too salty for me. The chicken could have also been marinated a bit better and could have been less dry. The pizza was decent. It was not anything special. It was thin crusted which I wasn’t a big fan of. It was also a bit on the greasy side. But I did like that they added quite a bit of mushrooms. Overall, it tasted similar to something I could get from Pizza Hut.

Having a good lunch today. Food was great as always. But if you want bread and/​or crackers, you better ask early. And ask often. Each offering is 3 pieces. Service was ok today. Usually better and the reason for the discounted review.

Two words: HAPPY HOUR. Tapas are always half price 3 – 6 everyday! So of course I love Sammy’s, who doesn’t love happy hour? Must try at happy hour: duck tacos, lobster mac and cheese, hummus, truffle fries! Love happy hour, service is always good, and atmosphere isn’t too wild.

Top notch service and food. We went in and we were disappointed that they had changed their appetizers by cutting the portions way back. We did not even mention it and they gave us a free appetizer because they noticed that we were semi regulars. Very genuine staff.

I’m basing this review from our first experience here. I will update it on our next visit. I’m sad to give this place 3 stars. My husband and I went to have a quick dinner here. The place is very welcoming. We got seated right away and the service and food came very fast! We were out & about within 45 minutes. We really love California Pizza Kitchen but it’s a 20 minute drive from us and Sammy’s woodfired pizza is just around our neighborhood. We ordered truffle fries w/​chipotle aioli (⁴⁄₅), thai chicken pizza (⁴⁄₅), and shrimp angel hair pasta (¹⁄₅). CPK’s thai chicken pizza is still the best. Truffle fries was great but not excellent. It tasted better when the server paired it with chipotle aioli so make sure you ask for it. The shrimp angel hair pasta was so disappointing. It tasted bland for $ 19. No flavor at all; I just added lots of parmesan cheese to make it taste good. Their serving is generous! We will be coming back for sure but will explore different food from their menu.
((((they give 20% military discount!!!))))

This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood with a great selection of healthy food. The drinks I like are the carefully selected published wine list, and the passion fruit iced tea. Staff has always been real attentive and friendly even if I am in a hurry.
Downside: L-​0-​U-​D during the lunch rush, which is every. single. day. of. the. week.
Upside: It’s totally worth it.
I’m sure it is just as common for the business people in the surrounding area to spend their two hour lunch break working out that «networking» itch as it is for neighborhood shoppers to pop in for a healthy lunch and a glass of wine. The menu is the same as the other Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza restaurants you might have been visiting: healthy, gluten-​free choices like salmon and shrimp, pasta in a meat sauce, fresh pizzas of artisan quality, and that luscious kale salad to round out the beautiful offerings of many different salads you can top off with chicken or shrimp.
I have tried all of those items and enjoy them all. I’m sure I am not alone.

Sammy’s is burying the lead with that woodfired pizza sign. There’s so many restaurants around here offering brick oven pizzas that I’ve kinda put off trying this place for a few months.
I went in thinking I was gonna get a pizza, but I was wrong. Upon sitting down, I was hit with an extensive menu that overwhelmed me in the best way possible: burgers, tacos, pasta, lettuce wraps, they had pizza too but it seems to only account for like 15% of the menu.
My wife got a pepperoni pizza and it was pretty decent, but the real surprise was how good the burgers are. I dropped my initial plans of having pizza and went with the Kobe beef sliders. Such a good choice! The beef is high quality, well seasoned and cooked, soft bun, aged cheddar, fresh veggies with a flavorful chipotle aoli. They could have stopped there and i’d be impressed, but the fries were awesome as well, golden and crisp with a light season salt.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

This Sammy’s has an amazing intimate dinner atmosphere! I love the bar design. The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect during my first visit to this restaurant. My server was Julie.
Julie suggested an Italian wine, and I loved it. She suggested an appetizer for us called the Crab & Shrimp Dip, which has artichoke and romano cheese. This comes with tasty grilled flatbread. This was a great suggestion.
For our entrée’s we shared the Five Cheese pizza that consisted of smoked gouda, raclette, romano, mozzarella, and gorgonzola and the Greek salad consisting of Romaine, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onion, and feta cheese. These options were pretty good.
For dessert we shared the Salted Caramel Pudding. Yummy!

Sammy’s is great! I have eaten here many many times. They have an awesome appetizer list and offer happy hour every day of the week. All of their items are fresh and unique. Their menu notes that they support local farms which is a nice additive.
We went for dinner. There were three of us. We started with a chopped chicken salad, which we modified slightly. Added pepperoni and put the dressing on the side. You have the option for kalamata olives with this salad or sundried tomatoes. We chose the olives because there is already fresh tomato in it. It was very good. The chicken in it is charred on the grill fresh to order. So be prepared everyone, the chicken on their salads is… wait…warm! It doesn’t bother me at all but I know some people might not like that. We shared the salad and it was great and piled high! Plenty for three people.
We shared two pizzas. One NY Style and one Hawaiian. The NY Style has sauteed mushrooms on it, finely ground beef, sausage, and pepperoni. But, they don’t overwhelm their pizza with meat. The Hawaiian was excellent too. Mainly because they thin slice the pineapple. It’s such a small detail but it was nice to not have chunks of pineapple weighing down the pizza.
Overall, great experience. Service was on point. We all drank water and no dessert for us. Bill was, $ 43. Not bad for a sit down dinner for three. We will of course be back.

My husband and I live in the area and have never been. We finally decided today after reading the menu online. Then we realized that they had a happy hour. We took our little one and sat outside. Half priced tapas and $ 2 off wine and beer between 4 – 6 every day. Fantastic!
So this location’s outdoor dining faces the parking lot but honestly… It did not matter. The food was wonderful and our service was impeccable. The gentleman who took care of us was great and had great recommendations.
We are so happy to have finally stumbled upon Sammy’s. Great happy hour close by that does not consist of smokey bars and fried food? This is a great place to be able to go with our girl. I also love that they had an option of carrot sticks with hummus for her to snack on. We will see you all again. Thank you!

My co worker and I brought a client here for lunch on a Monday. Located in a large strip center where parking is no issue. We arrived before the noon hour so the place was bare and we got a choice table.
After receiving our beverages our friendly waitress took our orders. I went with the chicken and hummus wrap and picked the side of cole slaw. Our food arrived promptly and my wrap was healthy tasting but flavorful and the slaw was decent too.
We were in and out without a hitch and I would recommend Sammy’s for a business or personal luncheon.

Sammy’s always serves up tasty fare, even if the wait staff can be lacking. Even though they have pizza in their name, they have a ton of other great options from tapas to salads to entrées. They also have a $ 9 off coupon on the Entertainment book app.
This visit I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Salad ($ 14.75) which is so flavorful and the shrimp are large and juicy. The balsamic and feta pair so well with the shrimp and it is definitely filling.
A friend ordered the Oak Roasted Chicken ($ 16.50) I recommended and loved it as well. She only wished she had more pesto sauce because it was so good.
Our food was great, but the wait time for service knocked this down one star. There were 4 or 5 servers and only as many occupied tables, so it should not take 10 minutes before someone takes your drink order and even longer before they take your meal order (especially when you tell them you’re ready to order when they bring the beverages).

Is it weird I’ve been to Sammy’s a handful of times and only once I’ve ordered the pizza? Probably not considering their menu boasts a great many other tasty items.
This location out in the boonies (according to me and where I am located) is tucked away at the far end of a shopping center. My GPS kept telling me we had made it, when in reality, we were still in front of Lowe’s.
The restaurant itself is on the small side, and when it fills up, gets a bit loud. Not to say you can’t hear your dining companions, but loud none the less. I selected this location for a meeting with a client and I am happy to say it delivered with food, service, and ambiance.
For starters we all shared the crab and shrimp dip, which came out piping and steaming hot. Creamy and not overly-​salted (a fault I find often with crab/​shrimp dip) this dip paired well with a plentiful amount of delicately seasoned pita bread slices. Thank you Sammy’s for bringing out plenty of pita bread for three girls to share. We actually did not end up finishing the pita bread and I was able to take it home and pair with my hummus later in the evening.
For my entrée I selected the grilled Hawaiian ONO tacos that come with your choice of flour or corn tortillas and also your choice of a side, of which I chose French fries. The fries were «eh» nothing special, but the tacos were nice LARGE portions with plenty of big, flaky white fish. The tomato-​avocado salsa was over flowing out of my tacos and all was rounded out with a bit of heat from the creamy Chipotle sauce.
Drinks were consistently refilled, plates were removed quickly, and the bill arrived in a timely manner. If I were to host my client again in this area, I would certainly pick Sammy’s to be the place to do it.

My mom and I had dinner here again recently and I realized I had the same thing as last time. I had the brie & truffle thin crust pizza with mushrooms. I did say no truffle oil this time as I have been eating a bland diet recently. The pizza was delicious. Lots of flavor. The crust is a nice thin cracker crust. Very easy to eat.
My mom had the sliders (or small hamburgers as I think they are calling them now). She really liked them. Good beef flavor and the added bacon was tasty and crisp. Her fries were a little overcooked, almost too crisp, but they were tasty.
Our waiter was distracted by lots of tables so another waiter brought our food but he was attentive most of the time. I will be back since its near my mom’s house and we like the food.
