    Christopher, our guy, our papito!
    Debbie F.

    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.

    Lasagna pizza

    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

    Rob F.

    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 .

    Location across from Elmhurst hospital can be chaotic and parking is tight, but the pizza here is…read moreimpossibly thin and crispy. Haven't had any pizza like this since Pizza Palace on Bayard Street by Columbus Park closed. Easy to eat half a pie by oneself. Crispy, thin crust, perfect amount of sauce and oil (about 2 drips per plain slice, not drowning, but reminds you that this is true NYC pizza), lightly cheesed, but still has a good stringy mozzarella pull. For a similar, but slightly thicker (100% yum factor) NYC slice, it's Manos in Ridgewood. For, the thinnest and crispiest plain slice in NYC, Louie's is the standard bearer. Parked in front, ordered a whole pie, ran inside, threw down some cash, waited outside for the fresh pie to bake. 10 minutes later the owner (possibly Louie hisself) delivers the fresh pie to my car outside and actually thanks me. True Twilight Zone stuff. I scarf a fresh, hot slice straight from the carton before stowing the balance back to Long Island for additional reheat confirmation. With all the political nonsense ongoing, thank Goodness that a righteous, NYC plain slice is still alive, well and residing in un-hipster, un-gentrified, un-apologetically friendly-neighborhood Spiderman Elmhurst. "Best NYC style pizza" is a term that is minimized and bandied about every time some new $60, limited-run, kraft pizza from Japan is the current darling. We submit that this is not the case here. May Louie's be here after all the LES, deep dish, 3 Michelin star bakers and pizza itamae have exhausted their day in the limelight - and leases. $20 all-in (until the hipster masses beat a path here to make Louie's their pizza crusade ) Thank you Louie for giving us working class masses the best, true, unlimited, unpretentious, no-lines, no soup Nazi, no upsell, satisfyingly NYC pizza a $20 can still buy. PS: please don't renovate or move as your pizzeria is a time-capsule whose prime ingredient is sincerity.

    After hearing a lot of great reviews about Andrew Bellucci's pizza, I had to stop by to grab myself…read morea slice and was pretty excited to give the Vodka Roni slice a go from this location! Overall, I'm not sure if it was the pepperoni's or the sauce or what exactly went wrong, but it was a pretty salty slice. Slightly almost to the point it wasn't worth finishing, but I wasn't going to let it go to waste. I've had Andrew Bellucci's other location and even ordered a whole pie of the same pizza and it was great. Hoping this was just a one off, but it kind of put a damper on the excitement to go to this spot. I won't completely write off this location in my books, but I'm going to be less inclined to stop in when I'm having a craving.

    I found the WORST SLICE OF PIZZA in new york city…read more Took forever, literally burnt to death, and they REFUSED to refund me when I pointed out the crust should not be black. Tastes like a bucket of salt. Absolutely horrifying when you're just looking forward to a nice slice of pizza on a friday night Places that are better: -Gias -Grand Ave -Nonna's (my favorite) -Literally any other pizzeria in Astoria. Busy does not equal good. This was disgusting and gaslihting someone that "oh the crust is supposed to be like that" when its literally black and crumbled at the touch after reheating in the oven for 10 minutes too long is not ok. I still can't believe they wouldnt just refund me and let me go.

    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.

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.
