    Christopher, our guy, our papito!

    Fantastic pizza place I have been going to for the last, embarrassed to say, 60 years. Great house salad, delicious crust, and lovely people serving it with thought and care. Highly recommended as a lifetime New Yorker who knows good pizza! Other things on the menu, such as the heroes, and the Italian dishes, are delicious, too.

    Quick service, I was in and out and the pizza wasn't bad at all. I actually went two days back to back so that's good.

    Eggplant olive & mushroom pizza
    Fateha A.

    Got mushroom onion & eggplant olive onion pies to go. Don't like how the onion was kinda raw, prefer caramelized onions. The mushroom pie was much better than the deep fried bland eggplant. This is 1 of the blandest deep fried eggplant I've ever had. Ever heard of seasoning? Seriously.

    Dine in | Lunch | $10-20 Tried & true pizzeria in Jackson Heights, Queens. Very fairly priced and their slices are huge! Got some regulars & sicilians. I give the pizza a solid 8.3 out of 10.

    Chicken Breast alla Francese
    Chris M.

    Words can't explain how good this chicken francese was . I ordered from DoorDash and was dropped off immediately after the food was done being prepped.

    Margherita and plain slice (the chips is good too)
    Misty D.

    Pretty decent pizza. It's been around for decades and I've always passed by this place but this was my first time trying their pizza. I liked the plain slice more than the margarita. I like that this place takes cards too (no minimum either from what I recall). We sat down and ate. It wasn't crowded for a Saturday evening. There's about 3 tables in total, so not sure if you might get a table on a busy day.

    Cheese Pizza.
    Theodosios C.

    Cheese Pizza. GOOD. A Regular Slice abundant with Cheese which was reflected in the taste of the Pizza. Minimal flavoring in regards to the Tomato Sauce which is the way I like it. PIZZA SAM (1967) has been serving the JACKSON HEIGHTS community for over 55 years. RECOMMEND.

    Excellent pizza. Get here before they close because they do run out. Mera's tip: in Jackson Heights go to pizza sam

    It's a religion when you come to Jackson Heights. You get 2 slices with pepperoni and you get a 10 stack of white castle And a coke n a smile I'm up in westchester ny now So when I make my way to the real heights in queens pizza sams......is a must....

    I'm a regular client and this place was my to go , today i ordered pizza and calamari and i got sent a bad quality calamari . Looked old, the texture of it felt like a rubber band . I called to let them know , but they didn't seem to care !!! definitely lost a client .

    Extra pepperoni

    I came here last week with my friend and a group of foodies to help support this wonderful pizza…read moreplace in Jackson Heights, Queens. The staff here are amazing and literally help keep criminals off the street and are devoted to their community. Ironically, I didn't get to try the pizza. Just means, I have to come back some day. But I hear the Sicilian is amazing. This place makes way more than just pizza and has house made fresh pasta and more unique dishes that you would never expect in a pizza parlor like ribeye steak. We ended up splitting and sharing entrees: Agnolotti (Kind of ravioli shaped and stuffed with ricotta and spinach in a pesto sauce), Fettuccine Bolognese, Penne in a tomato sauce (not sure if it was vodka or arrabiata), chicken with crabmeat, and the ribeye steak. My favorite easily and very oddly was the chicken slathered in a mustard sauce with crabmeat. This was the most juicy and tantalizingly delicious chicken I've had in a minute. I would also never have ordered this in a million years. So I'm glad someone else thought to include this. The pastas were very good even though I only tried a tiny bit but I'd definitely order the agnolotti. The steak was cooked surprisingly to perfection. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. This entire meal did not break the bank. I think their slices also go for only $3 and a specialty slice is $4.50. Very old school family oriented and classic.

    On my way to the Met game I stopped by Louie's a solid neighborhood pizza slice shop…read more Conveniently located off the 7 train 82nd st stop. Busy, active and definitely for the community given the notes, decorations. I always wanted to stop by here for a slice after watching the owner and father's heroic effort protecting an Asian lady who was being robbed in front of their store. Slice was solid at $3. OK looking undercarriage but limited floop. Only knock is bottom had too much flour remaining. Solid neighborhood spot. People were getting pasta dishes too. Ample seating. Friendly staff.

    It's been almost 15yrs since I last visit this fine establishment. Childhood nostalgia hit when I…read moreentered and proudly show the place to my husband and friend. They had revamp the place and it looked nothing like my childhood but the taste was there (unless I put it on a pedestal). It's not your typical pizzeria. They specialize in 10" pan pizza with crispy crusts. They do not do slices... only whole pies. Food quality is still amazing! I remember as a child they had the paper wrapper that had coupons on it. My siblings and I would save all the paper coupons for free pie (collect 10 for 1 free pie). Not sure if they still do that. They used to also offer free balloons to all kids there. They had a huge helium tank and assorted color balloons that they would blow up on the spot for all kids. Very family-oriented/friendly local pizza spot. We order led my favorite pie: Onion & Pepper pie but added Pepperoni and garlic knots. It was soooo goood that I was super happy to come back for another taste. I hope the next visit won't be as long.

    One of my favorite pizza places in all of NYC. I have been eating at this location, as well as the…read moreother location for over 30 years. I only have changed my order maybe three times total over the years. It is one of the few restaurants myself and my family can all agree on. I wish parking was not an issue and it would be awesome if they had more locations spread out. I know that is a challenge for us, otherwise we would be ordering here every time I came home to visit. My absolute favorite pizza is the Indo-Pak. FYI, all the pizzas are individual sizes and measure about 12". The Indo-Pak has curry, garlic, onions, and jalapeños or cherry peppers-not sure which pepper but it gets hot after a couple of slices lol. Other favorites of mine are the garlic and just plain cheese. I usually finish most of my pie, with maybe a slice or two leftover. I am getting hungry while writing this because I miss it and it's that good. They have other items on the menu besides pizza but I have personally never ordered anything but pizza.
