I ordered a half São Paulo and half Calabresa pizza and really enjoyed it. I honestly had no idea Brazilian style pizza even existed before coming here, and it is definitely a must try. The São Paulo side was my favorite. The chicken was flavorful, the corn added a nice touch of sweetness, and the creamy catupiry brought everything together perfectly. The Calabresa side was also really good, with tasty sausage and onions. Everything tasted fresh, and the crust was thin and soft. What really made the experience stand out was the owner. He is actually from Brazil and was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you could tell he genuinely cares about his food and his customers. That kind of personal touch makes a big difference. The vibe is casual and relaxed, and between the great food and the amazing service, it is definitely a place I would come back to. If you are looking to try something new and different, I highly recommend it. read more

Sampa's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lomita, California

This is one of our new favorite pizza spots in the South Bay! This has been our go-to pizza spot for the last few years and it never disappoints. What really sets Sampas apart is the dough. The crust is perfect, not too thin, not doughy, just right every time. The kids always stick with a classic cheese and love it. My wife and I usually go for the funghi al tartufo and add chicken, which is solid every single time. Recently tried the Sal Paulo and I'll be honest, when I first saw corn on pizza I wasn't sure about it. But wow, it ended up being one of the best tasting pizzas I've had in a long time. The flavors just work. I also like that you can grab pizza by the slice if you're in the mood to try something new without committing to a whole pie. Staff is always welcoming and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Nothing but good things to say about this place. Highly recommend. read more

Prosciutto and arugula in general is one of my favorite pizzas, and it was decent here. I was skeptical about trying this place as the pictures posted here aren't very convincing, however I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the amount of arugula, and the pizza itself was flavorful with a crispy crust. read more

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. read more

Place is struggling, they are rarely open during their advertised hours, like right now says open til 10, nope.

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. read more

A little messy with the pizza. Ordered half and half. Toppings on one went onto the other. A little small. Atmosphere is much more worn down than Marina location. Edit: Wanted to switch points. Promised to do before because their point system is not unified and I had to choose a location which I had no idea which one). Then refused later on. Plus, their point system is glitchy and denied points which has a hassle (which they gave more but still not a smooth experience). read more

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!! read more

I love this place, I've had it twice and both times I have not been disappointed. I haven't been to the local I have it delivered and it delivers pretty quickly. The crust is nice and crispy and the toppings are flavorful. I like this place because they have toppings that are not the same boring stuff. I mean they do if you want it but when I'm feeling in the mood for something new I just order from this place. read more

We ordered the 5 Cheese pizza and Greek salad. Delicious! Definitely a cheese lover's dream pizza and kid friendly too....my kid rated the 5 cheese pizza 10 out of 5 stars! The Greek dressing and salad was great and complimented the pizza really well. read more

Very fast service and very delicious food. Would definitely recommend it !!! And would definitely come again

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. read more

We tried to order some pizzas from Sampa's for Thanksgiving and the Toast app allowed us to make pre-order. However the restaurant was closed on Thanksgiving and my order was charged. We placed a bad review on Toast app and the restaurant immediately took action and refunded my money. I wanted to post a good review on Toast for Sampa's great service but I guess I can only make one review so I wanted to post a good review on this site. Although we haven't had a chance to try their pizzas, for their great customer service we'll definitely go back and try their pizzas. read more

The food was amazing! Customer service was great and Gustavo was super friendly! Will definitely be coming back for their one-of-a-kind Brazilian pizzas! read more

Great local pizza shop! Love their menu with something for everyone. My little one loves it, the boyfriend loves it and I get my veggie options. We are lucky to have a Sampras in Lomita! There's one in Venice too! Really nice people working there too! Fast and friendly. read more

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. read more

In the past we have ordered their pizza and it has been outstanding, tonight we ordered, was over and hour late and cold. The manager was very gracious, Jean but was not very helpful in resolving the issue. Apparently they are trying to change delivery companies and it is not working. We love their pizza but they need to watch how they do business with the customer. Blaming it on the delivery company is still a reflection on your business, great pizza (although we have had better, my crust was too thick and the mushroom choices have changed) but the delivery has got to improve. Good Luck, we will have to think twice about ordering delivery in the future. read more

My family and I really enjoy this place. Never had Brazilian pizza until trying this spot. The pizzas are very good. Fresh ingredients. We ordered to go and demolished them before I could take pictures. We had the São Paulo and a regular pepperoni and sausage. Nice staff running the place. Will be back to try more. read more

I love this place actually the ingredients are from Italy. Very good quality great attention. I highly recommend this place to.

Love this place, though I have to confess I've never been inside (all orders through UberEats), some of the best pizzas I've had. My friends and I love ordering from Sampa's!! Definitely a great place for pizza read more

Handed lone employee $5 for a slice. Says he has no coins. Figure it's not a big deal so I let it slide. I'm handed back $1. I wait a few minutes in anticipation of a slice worthy of the $3.86 price tag that I actually paid $4 for. Pizza was slightly above average. BUT... I never had a slice this small. Anywhere. This morsel they tried to pass off as a slice made the box look big. Laughable. Maybe a couple more pepperoni pieces were placed on my order and was called even. The simplest request failed to equal the hype. All things considered, this $4 morsel is definitely not worth the price point. read more

Great pizzas. Favorite is the New York or Margarita. They make thin crust and crispy crust love love love the pizzas

Wow! This is absolutely the best pizza!!! I realize that's a huge statement but for a couple who have experienced the best in all the big cities and even Italy, to agree on this means it is the truth. The flavor profiles for these are well done and there are so many options-- both unique and classic. We LOVE funghi/ truffle and prosciutto enough to eat almost weekly. Fantastic service, flexible with ingredients and even offering half/half (two types of pizza, one pie). Sit in, take out, or get delivery. Amazing fresh and the next day. So glad we found this restaurant! read more

We were really excited to try this place as it's just around the corner from our house and reviews seemed promising. We ordered a pineapple ham, lasagna pizza, and coconut pudding. Unfortunately, not a single thing we ordered was edible. The crust was chewy and tasted almost raw and the sauce and toppings left little to be desired. I see that in many reviews the owner defends his ingredients as being of high quality (hence the price) but that just did not translate into how it tasted. The pineapple may have been fresh but the proteins looked and tasted like regular deli meat. The coconut pudding was so sweet to the point it was not even enjoyable - it just tasted like condensed milk with more sugar. Really disappointing! We aren't very picky eaters and were not expecting gourmet pizzas by any means, but I can't for the life of me justify the rave reviews. read more

I've been ordering the wrong things from Sampas and that's really saying something. I already loved the other pizzas I got, but there is nothing like their signature Funghi Al Tartufo. It is absolute perfection, and it's mushroom-lover heaven. The Prosciutto is another fantastic choice - amazing proscuitto with arugula on top. We went halfsies with Strawberry Nutella and Churros for dessert, and the churro half wins - gotta love the dulce de leche. Strawberry and nutella is super rich, like half a jar of nutella but I can't say that a bad thing. I just had two of the South Bay's best pizzas in a single day. Highly recommend! read more

This place has been our go to pizza place since 2020, and it has never let us down. I love pizza, and Brazilian pizza is something else. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to try it until we found this place. The freshest ingredients and the most amazing pizza we've had in a long while. They have Brazilian, American, and Italian style pizzas, (and even more recently, pasta) so the options are endless. My favorite thing recently about Sampas is that now each month they have a Pizza of the Month, and they have all been so so so delicious.Try their dessert pizzas as well, so good and really hits the spot afterwards. The staff is friendly and with efficient service. The pricing can get expensive depending on what you order, but trust me for the quality of the pizza and the high quality ingredients it is absolutely worth it. read more

I was craving pizza this past weekend and was checking Yelp for the best pizza in the area. I eventually came upon Sampa's Gourmet Pizza. After agonizing over all the excellent looking choices, I decided on the Meat Lovers pizza. Mainly because it didn't have ham, as I do not like ham on my pizzas. I ordered delivery via Yelp, the ordering process was quick and easy. My pizza arrived quicker than the estimate and was still hot. The taste of the pizza was excellent. I especially liked the bacon chunks. I will definitely be ordering from Sampa's again! read more

We ordered the Napolitana pizza which was tasty. Next time we plan to try the mushroom pizza, Funghi Al Tartufo. We placed our order via the Yelp app, and it was ready when promised. This restaurant is located in a small, corner shopping center with plenty of parking. read more

We ordered spaghetti & meatballs. Meatballs were visibly dry looking and once we bit into them they were dry. Very dissatisfied with the quality of the food. Won't order from them again read more

Ordered meat lover pizza. Super good taste and huge size for 3people. Definitely recommend it!

I ordered last night through Ubereats. I ordered half mushroom with truffle oil and Margherita pizza. Plus I ordered a half guava cheese dessert pizza. My favorite was the mushroom truffle, it was fantastic. Wow! Dessert pizza was so flavorful a little chewy so my gma couldn't have it but the rest of us could. So delicious. I will order again. read more

Very good pizza. Delicious. But probably the most expensive take-out pizza I've seen in a long time, I was pretty shocked at the bill. So be wary. read more

First time customer at Samoa's yesterday. After reading good and some bad reviews about the pizzas, I decided to try their food. I ordered 2 pizzas, toppings were good but both thin crusts were burnt! We scraped what we could from the bottom , couldn't eat the outer crust because it was black. The cooks had to know that both crusts were burnt. My problem is asking 'how could they pass the burnt pizzas knowing that it would be obvious to the customers'? Sadly, I will not return there again. My family members were looking forward to having pizza for dinner, but had to scrape the toppings off of some of the more burnt slices. read more

The pizza here are thin. Honestly, I am a huge fan of deep dish pizza, but the flavors here are undeniably good. I think most others will find the pizza scrumptious. I ordered the basic pepperoni to test the waters. The zestful flavors and delicious cheese were enough for me to enjoy. I will bet the other flavors are even better. Will be back soon. read more
