A great little Italian joint. I had a quick sandwich for lunch. The server was friendly and attentive. The sandwich was good and the cheese sticks are made in house. Those were great! I will have to go back and try a pizza next time. read more

Best pizza in Sumter! The white pizza was perfect, combo pizza was loaded with great toppings and the green olives were so delishhh and will be on all our pizza orders from now on, sweet heat wings are huge and flavorful like a Thai chili taste, Mozzarella sticks are the thick cube kind that hold up well and were delicious. Cheesesteak was exactly how I imagined it would be yum yum get you some! read more

This place has new owners and they've done a great job with the place. We have ordered from them 3 times in the last few months and the pizza has always been delicious, hot and reasonably priced. This place has become my favorite pizza spot. Only complaint is their wings. I tried them for the first time last week and I was not impressed at all. They seemed either old or just not fresh, they were also supposed to be hot wings and it seemed like they were made as bbq and then last minute, they threw them in hot sauce. Also the ranch is horrendous, it's super watery and tastes like nothing. Overall I give this place a 7. Staff: 9 Pizza: 8 Wings: 4 Ranch: 1 read more

PLEASE visit Sambino's off Orchard Drive, now under new ownership and management. Owners Michael and Chelsea have opened the dining space, showcasing delicious Italian options. Standouts for us were their flawless garlic knots and entrees, all prepared with the freshest ingredients for an exceptional taste. Their iced tea was also refreshing and last but certainly not least, our waitress REESE delivered exceptional service. You'll be glad you tried. I know for certain we will be back. read more

Both Sambino's have excellent food. Can't wait until the one on Peach Orchard Road reopens. The one on Alice Drive has excellent German and Italian food. Prices are reasonable. You get a good amount for the price. I always get takeout so don't know about the service. read more

My family and I just had dinner at Sambinos and it was delicious I'd say the best Italian food I've had since we moved here We started with the meatballs They were the perfect size served quickly and were just the right temperature Next was the Tour of Italy all three were amazing! I think I've found a new favorite And the prices were reasonable The service was great Also the manager or owner I'm not sure Came to table and made a great impression So glad we tried it out since it reopened read more

Delicious and fresh! Service was great too! Ordered pizza for the kids then had the seafood ravioli which was amazing! All the items on the menu are cooked to perfection read more

Do Not Eat Here, terrible customer service And a waist of money. I was extremely unsatisfied when the "owner" herself was disrespectful when i asked for more toppings because there were barely any on the pizza at all read more

why was this closed? are they out of business? the best pizza in town hands down has been closed since mid july i believe read more

The best pizza in town and reasonably priced! I always get 2 large bacon and pepperoni pizzas and they're perfect and quick every time.

Great Alfredo and salad (big portions) the bread was okay. Service was quick and they were nice!

My coworkers love to come to this location because they say it's the best pizza place ever and its convenient located near the base. The one occasion I came here, it was a full house, so it took a couple minutes to be seated. We were provided with garlic knots, soaked in garlic sauce, which tasted amazing. I'm not sure if they were complimentary or if someone ordered them from our group. I ordered the calzone with two toppings special for $7.99, which was great!!! I didn't order the pizza because I'm oddly particular about pizza and I knew ahead of time that it wasn't my preference, but the calzone was very hefty and filling. Our company really enjoyed the pizza so this rating is based off the group I came with and everyone else's opinions too (: I wouldn't mind trying this place again. read more

Sambino's - a plate of food on a table - Italian Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

Incredible. This is the real deal Italian in Sumter. We get from here every Saturday night!

I LOVE their calzones, their alfredo is also pretty good, bread rolls are pretty doughy and definitely not my favorite but I over all enjoy what I've gotten from here. read more

The food is fresh and delicious! They will deliver but you'll want to call a little earlier to make sure they can. The lasagna is the best I've had in this area. read more

Second time ordering from here. First time I gave them 4 stars, mainly because I thought the delivery driver was so courteous; but this time... I called and was put on hold by a man, no big deal. A woman picked up about 45 seconds later and soooo abrupt and rude. It's 5:47 on a Thursday so not like it's a Friday or Saturday rush hour. I ordered pizza delivery. NO WHERE on the menu does it say there's a delivery charge! $2.00. OK, no biggie (though they should TELL you). I wanted to tip my driver on the card (I always give $5 for their gas and earnings) ... Not only did she not ask BUT She hung up on me before I could even mention it! I dug up a lousy $3 for the poor guy's salary. I ordered a large cheese pizza with bacon... Yuck! 45 minutes and I live 1.8 miles away. Sooooo much bacon that it's just bacon, bitter sauce and dough. I'm very unhappy. It's just awful! I mean very yucky! But I could deal with the food, had the lady not been so rude! read more

So freaking good! Best Italian spot in Sumter! The red sauce is to DIE for! The garlic bread is out of this world. The staff is nice & the restaurant is clean ! read more

I've ordered here before and the food was great. I have to agree with another reviewer, the lady who takes orders is so rude! The place clearly states it offers delivery yet when I said I'd like a delivery and she said umm it depends on where you are located. Well I've had delivery before with no problem. So if I wanted a delivery I'd have to wait 2 hours for my food. WTF Sumter is not that dang big. The service here is terrible and I won't consider them in the future. Further, I'd fire the lady answering the phone. She will continue to steer paying customers away. With the current situation it is, it won't be hard to belly up. read more

Ordered take out due to the current COVID19 crisis stuff going out!! My goodness me I didn't know how much of a treat I was in for.. I ordered the seafood Alfredo and it was great.. I but rich but it was delicious.. serving size was HUGE and well worth it.. the salad was fresh and delicious and the bread that comes with the meal is amazing!! It was a definite good choice and I'll be back for sure!! read more

There's not much to say about this place, i will give two stars because the pizza itself is ok, however the lady who answers the phone is utterly rude and it takes away from the experience. She places you on hold before you can even say anything. It goes like this, "Sambino, can I put you on hold, thanks CLICK"...... the heck!!! I didn't even get to say yes or no.This was our first and last time eating here and I hope they find someone else to take orders. read more

Good food, awful service. They've probably lost hundreds in sales from my family alone by their lack of ability to manage orders by phone; when they do answer the phones they aren't friendly. I'd venture to say they've lost several thousands in sales overall when applied to their overall business plan. Great food might be enough to pay the bills, but this place will never be anything more than a hole-in-the-wall spot if they don't fix their service problems. read more

This is probably the best pizza you could hope to find in Sumter, SC. The cheese they use is phenomenal and the toppings (the sausage especially) are on point. Not many pizza places here in the South can rival this flavor and this is coming from someone who has eaten at many, MANY pizza joints up and down the eastern seaboard. . Not to mention the special on their large two topping pizza (as of 6/22/2018) is AWESOME... Try the pizza at least once, and unless you are used to pre-made, generic, corporate, frozen type pizzas, you won't be disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I were staying the night in Sumter so we decided to try Sambino's. We were quickly seated and brought some garlic knots soaked with olive oil & garlic pieces. I quite enjoyed them, but they were a bit doughy which might turn others off. My bf ordered an anchovy pizza and I ordered their seafood alfredo, which came with a Greek salad. The salad was excellent, with plenty of feta cheese and solid dressing. More katamala olives could have improved it. As for the main dish, I quite liked my food - fettuccine with tons of crab and shrimp! Really big portions too which was awesome. I do love butter and seafood so I enjoyed my dish, but I can understand why others might complain about "drowning" things in sauce and not allowing for an authentic taste. My boyfriend wasn't a huge fan of the pizza. The crust was rather doughy and cardboard-like, and they actually loaded the pizza with too many anchovies so that it was too salty. However, the prices were good for the large portions that we got. Unfortunately, service was incredibly slow at the end, which (along with the issues with the pizza) caused me to take off a star. I would probably give ~3.5 stars if I could do half-stars. read more

Maybe I am missing something, but to me this restaurant doesn't taste or feel like an Italian restaurant. The restaurant is missing decor... you get to look out at the stop light? And the food is just meh! I was very excited about trying the garlic knots from all the reviews, but I was not impressed at all. The garlic knots did not have a garlic taste and were dripping in butter. My husband ordered pizza and I ordered pasta. My husband said his pizza was fine, but not great, and my pasta had no taste. Try for yourself, as I know this restaurant is highly recommended, but I did not enjoy my meal. read more

For Sumter the pizza is 5 stars. Anywhere else it's pushing 4. As others stated the garlic knots are delish as well. So why the 3 stars you ask? Order from the rest of the menu and you will see. The pasta sauce was worse than Prego, my chicken was vastly overcooked, and my friend's stuffed sea shells were covered in way too much cheese and cream. Everything on the menu is smothered with cheese and butter and although most of the items are Italian in nature, there is no creativity or personal chef touch on any of the dishes. It's like they don't want you to tasted their subpar ingredients so they just throw some extra cheese on it to cover it up. You expect to find these things at the Olive Garden, not a locally owned small Italian restaurant. I did notice someone eating a sandwich that looked fairly decent. I recommend you stick to the Pizza and forget about their so called "Italian" menu they have. read more

Delicious pasta. Our garlic knots were fresh and hot. But the House Special pasta dish has been my favorite for 30 years. It has the perfect blend of meat sauce pasta and cheese. read more

This is the best pizza in town! Especially the buffalo chicken, the garlic rolls are amazing as well! Our go-to pizza place :)

Great food and good service! Delivery times are sometimes long but it's absolutely worth the wait.

Best lasanga & garlic rolls I've in a while. Lunch menu is worth checking out. I'd be a regular if I were a local.

Yay it's very good! Good pizza, good italian subs, and good French fries with ranch!! Go to for pizza close to Shaw AFB
