    *Half & Half* Napolitana  Meat Lovers
    Rebecca S.

    I really wish that yelp would allow for half stars. I don't think Sampas is a 4 but it's not a 3 either. We have been trying out different pizza places around the area and Sampas has been on the list for a bit. We decided tonight was the night, ordered *Half & Half* Napolitana and Meat Lovers. The pizza was smaller than I expected, I think they was my original dissatisfaction. The meat lovers was very good, great combo of meats and good crisp. The napolitana was already cold, even though I picked it up right at my order time, which made the cheese clump together. We did not enjoy it, even after reheating. I think Sampas does a wonderful job at having unique flavors, and perhaps we will give it another try.

    We live a few blocks away and can't believe it took us this long to try Sampa's Pizza. As soon as we walked in Jean(say it with a portugüese accent) greeted us and had the biggest smile. Told him it was our first time there and we're curious of what they had in the menu. He explained that they had several takes on Pizza's, They had Brazilian specialty pizzas, American & Italian classics. They had A few Salads, desserts and some fun Appetizers as well. They have fun Brazilian drinks and other specialties. We went with half Supreme & Margherita Pizza. We got a side Greek salad as well. The pizza was thin Crust, the tomato sauce was light and the toppings were fresh and delicious! Simple yet so fulfilling with every bite. Safe to say we finished the whole pizza & Salad. The Location is small but very cozy and love the decor they have. The inside had a few tables to fit maybe 20-25 people.. there is plenty of parking in the shopping center as well. Cant wait to come back and try other specialty pizzas. Really loved the vibe and they even have All you can eat as well as another option. Thank you for your hard work and great service glad to have a place like this close to home.

    The menu is very complete! If you're not from São Paulo you have HAVE to try it, it's amazing. If you're from SP you will feel like home!

    This place is amazing! They make pizza by the slice of anything you want and it's all made fresh to order. The ingredients are alll very fresh and so delicious and they are very generous with their cheese. If I lived here I'd be at those places all the time!!

    Very clean and friendly atmosphere.

    We were hungry for pizza after transitioning our home into 'winter wonderland' mode for the Christmas season. Yelp and the great reviews lead us to Sampa's and our interaction with Gustavo, the owner. They basically have three different categories of pizza: Brazilian, Italian, and American. Gustavo is Brazilian and absolutely nails the Brazilian varieties, we went with a 1/2 Rio de Janeiro (Brazilian) and 1/2 BBQ chicken (American). The Rio de Janeiro is fresh tomato sauce, hearts of palm, provolone, *catupiry, mozzarella & oregano. It was a delicious change of pace, especially when I put on the Brazilian hot sauce. The BBQ portion has big bold flavor with the perfect amount of chicken. We got one pizza between the two of us, and left with two slices to go, if that helps give you some size perspective. The restaurant is small (4 tables), super clean, and a enjoyable atmosphere should you decided to dine it, with idyllic music to set the tone. Gustavo was a great host, ushering us through the menu and making us feel right at home with his food suggestions and genuine hospitality. As first-time visitors he insisted that we try the coconut custard on the house, I was happy with the offering, although it was not super sweet. We also tried the Brazilian flan which is less of a sugar rush than the Mexican flan, I liked it with less sugar. After these two desserts I've come to realize that Brazilian flavoring is slightly tuned down versus my normal expectations. We enjoyed a nice evening and absolutely expect to be back. They do NOT have a liquor license, so don't expect pizza and beer. They do have fun/unique soft drinks and fruit drinks which are from Brazil. Gustavo, you have a nice thing going here, congratulations and thanks for sharing your culture.

    Love their pizzas and salad. Be prepared to wait as they make it fresh as you order. Pizza doesn't have thick crust and you can even choose gluten free crust. Salads are always fresh. Pasta at times can be overcooked. Staff are always friendly...great service.

After waiting in line with others who were anxious to dive in to what this glorious place had to offer, we got several meats and were able to sit in an area where we could listen to both the beautiful live music and the exciting Dodger game. We sat at a table that was in the middle of all the entertainment and we did not regret it. As everything else was drowned out while we conversed with each other, we continued to share our thoughts after tasting the different items. We stayed till it got dark outside and enjoyed our time there while experiencing another Dodgers victory! Thinking about it makes me want to go back to grab another plate, but it will be worth the wait once again prior to our next visit.

The meat is tender and flavorful, and the salad bar is consistently fresh with plenty of options. My favorite meat is the sirloin cap, followed by the rib-eye and lamb. There's something about that sirloin cap that keeps me coming back for more! We also dined here on a Friday night when they had live music, which added a fun, lively energy to the restaurant. Service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and family-oriented. Whether you're coming in with the family or just need to satisfy a serious meat craving, this is a great spot. Definitely my go-to place when I need a good meat fix!

We picked it in part…read morebecause of the halal options, which we appreciated, but overall the service and experience were disappointing. We had a 6:30 reservation, and after being seated at table L4, it took several minutes before anyone came over. When our waitress Karen finally approached, she greeted us with "Hello, ladies" without really looking at me. She then realized I was a man and apologized. I do have long curly hair, so I understood how the mistake happened, but it made for an awkward start to the evening. She was pleasant while explaining the menu and helped us understand which items we could eat. One of the main reasons my wife chose H&H was because of the halal meat options. Since we do not eat pork, our waitress specifically told us she would let the meat servers know not to bring pork to our table. Unfortunately, pork was still brought over to us, which was disappointing considering our dietary restriction had already been clearly discussed. After taking our drinks and getting us started, our waitress essentially disappeared. We had to flag down other staff throughout most of the meal whenever we needed something. Meanwhile, nearby tables were receiving regular check-ins and much more attention from their server. We were among the few couples of color in our immediate area, and while I can't say why our service was so different, the contrast was noticeable and made the experience uncomfortable. The meat servers were actually one of the bright spots and a big reason this isn't a one-star review. Several of them were friendly and accommodating. However, the red-and-green card system didn't seem to work consistently. Even with the green side showing, there were times we were passed by and had to ask for certain meats. The food itself was mixed. The Brazilian limeade was probably my favorite part of the meal. We also really enjoyed the cinnamon pineapple, fried plantains, Brazilian cheese bread, and the mashed potatoes, which were excellent. Some of the meats were good, but others were overly fatty or very tough and difficult to chew, also we did not like the big crystals of salt all over the meat which made it very salty. The fried corn wasn't for us. The farm-to-table area was another disappointment. We noticed numerous small flies flying around the food, which immediately turned us off, so we barely took anything from that section. Cleanliness also stood out for the wrong reasons. There was visible dust buildup on the wall and lighting area behind our table, as well as on the small lamps around us. In the restroom, there were no paper towels available for drying your hands, only the air dryer. My wife had also specifically noted on the reservation that we were celebrating my birthday. There was no acknowledgment until she went and reminded the staff herself. They eventually brought something out, which I appreciated, but by that point it felt more like an afterthought. Even getting the bill at the end was difficult. We were left waiting and eventually had to track someone down just so we could pay. There were definitely some good moments, the Brazilian limeade, cinnamon pineapple, Brazilian cheese bread, mashed potatoes, some of the meats, and several helpful meat servers, but for a birthday dinner costing us well over $200, I expected much better service, cleanliness, attention to our dietary request, and overall hospitality. Unfortunately, this was not the birthday dinner we were hoping for.
