We did make a reservation but this morning was not necessary as there were plenty of tables. Let's start with the coffee - FANTASTIC. The coffee was on point. God bless. The menu is short but stacked. You can create your own omelette or order two eggs any style or be like my boss and order the Butter Pecan French Toast. My other boss ordered the Farmhouse croissant. Every dish was very eye appealing and believe it or not- there were ZERO COMPLAINTS. As I remarked to Ryton, having delicious coffee, great food, and zero compliants is a miracle and how we were blessed today.

Honestly, the food was delish. The Brussels sprouts were AMAZING! Smoked wings were good too. We absolutely loved the pizza. The truffle fries were okay. They were out of the garlic aioli that comes with the fries, and I think that would have given them the kick they were missing. The ambiance is cool with the fire pit right at the entrance. Many TVs at the bar, so it's a great spot to catch a game. I also liked the layout of the room - particularly the booths, in relation to where the TVs are. Honestly much better food and ambiance than at one of the other nearby hotel restaurants we tried.

It was terrible it just was not as garlic flavor as we would have liked it to be. The breadstick was hard and seemed old. It was not good so disappointing for that because they're usually pretty good. Customer service I will say is very good. Nice staff and great attitude and atmosphere. Clean dining area I noticed while I waited. I have had other pizza slices before so definitely going to get the OG pepperoni or the pepper, onion, jalapeño one. Now those are flavorful. My salad was good. Overall the Vinny was edible it just lacked the flavor but the breadstick was bleh, not fresh. I will have to try going earlier next time maybe they'll be much better.

The space itself is bright, industrial, and relaxed, with large garage doors that let plenty of light in and communal tables that make it easy to settle in. Our pizza came out surprisingly fast, especially considering everything is made fresh. We ordered pepperoni, sausage, and red onion, and they absolutely loaded it with toppings. Crispy, blistered crust, gooey cheese, and enough pepperoni to make me stop counting after about bite three. It was honestly love at first bite. One tip: don't skip the restroom before you leave. I won't spoil it, but whoever decorated those walls and that door clearly had some fun. King Dough nails that balance between casual neighborhood pizza joint and destination-worthy meal. I'd happily come back...and next time, I might have to branch out from my beloved pepperoni.

The restaurant was very clean and had a cozy Italian decor. Overall it's a good spot for lunch if you work downtown or are doing something downtown M-F during the day.

Sam's Square Pie stands out in the world of pizza, where every slice is a delight, but this one is truly top-notch. The crust is insatiable, striking the perfect balance between crispy and chewy, making each bite unforgettable. The toppings are generously portioned and harmoniously combined, elevating the overall experience. Plus, Anna at the front provides the best customer service, making every visit feel special. If you're a pizza lover, Sam's Square Pie is an absolute must-try--it redefines what great pizza can be. read more

I recently visited a charming Detroit-style pizza shop that impressed me with its exceptional service and inviting ambiance. The highlight of the meal was the El Jefe pizza, which featured a thick, perfectly crispy crust and a generous layer of flavorful toppings. Garlic knots were on point too! The welcoming atmosphere made for a delightful date night experience, and the attentive service only enhanced it. Overall, it's a great spot for both the delicious pizza and a warm, friendly environment. read more

I can't think of a better place to visit and spend money then at a local small business of a man that had a dream. We come for the food but quite often keep coming back because of the people behind it. And that's the case with Sam's Square pie! Incredible pizza, creative, and fun space and a damn smart and hard-working owner behind it. You can see it in all the details and how he and the staff interacts with the customers with love and care. Highly recommend you stop in! read more

I had to actually walk up to the bar in the Tavern to pay for my pie. You will find it on the side of the Tavern, near the back. It has a decent sized parking lot, but the spots were pretty much all taken up with Tavern patrons while I was there. They have outdoor patio seating available and you could probably also eat in the Tavern's indoor dining area if you wanted. They have a very compact menu consisting of a few signature pies or you can build your own with their toppings. You can get either a 10", 12" or 16" (they have a 6" option if you make your own. It is not available for signature pies.), you call it. I ordered the Death by Scorpion Sauce 10" pie. I got the scorpion sauce on the side because I did not know what to expect. The pie was ready in about 10 minutes. It was hot, fresh and delicious. It had a little kick to it, like I like. But it was not overly spicy to the point that you could not enjoy it. I really liked it. It was hard making it home without digging in, with it smelling all good and stuff on my passenger seat. In addition to my scorpion sauce on the side, the guy threw in some parmesan cheese and peppers packets. I will be the first to admit that this place looks like a hole in the wall when you are approaching it. However, they make a good pie. I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem.

Once we arrived the pizza was being pulled out of the oven and was piping hot and smelled delicious. We ordered a 16 inch Katie Bug Pie which had veggies and a veggie patty. We asked for light cheese but might not have been heard as if this is light then regular cheese must be an abundance. Next time we would probably choose no cheese just to taste the veggies more fully. The dough was a nice flavor with lots of veggie toppings and plenty of sauce. It was a round pie which allowed for big slices and two were plenty for each my husband and I which means they were full of flavor and veggies. My only slight thought would be it is a tad salty fir me, perhaps the veggie Patty or sauce had more salt than I like but it was still delicious. I can't speak to their other options but from our first try it was a worthy spot for a take away pizza. Plus they have a cat that comes for petting and ha going out in the courtyard and who doesn't love a snuggle after pizza? Definitely worth trying out!
