Was very hungry for a 9" St Louise style pizza. The menu listed multiple sizes and said St Louis was not available in 10". I ordered a size other than 10" (ordered 9") but they said they can't make that either... need to remove the option from the menu if can't make it. Ended up with an Italian sandwich and fries which was very good, but was highly craving the pizza which was on menu (the reason we came to Sam's but not allowed to order). read more

Sam's Pizza & Pub - Italian Sam-which... very good - Pizza Near Me - Highland, Illinois

Great food and staff. Their cheese sticks are the best thing! Beware though this is a provolone cheese establishment.

I have been going there for years great place to watch th game and have fantastic pizza,wings,but last night there was a intoxicated woman in the bar using the men's bathroom, walking in the men's room ,there were young kids there with are group,they have lost our business, so I would if take children to this family place be mindful of your group,the screaming and glass throwing was the last draw for us read more

Decent pizza and beer selection. We have had hit or miss service, but the buffalo chicken pizza brings us back. If you are looking for a pizza that offers cracker crust or regular/ check her out. read more

Over the years I've heard positive stuff about Sam's Pizza, from both locals and non-locals. I finally went there last year, and have been there a couple other times for their lunch buffet. As much as I hate to say it, their pizza does not impress me. I'll explain the pizza: it may seem like St. Louis-style but its not. It is not cracker-crust with provolone. Instead, it is like something you find in the frozen foods section in the supermarket (not DiGiornio, but like Totino's and Red Baron). I don't know the best way to explain the crust, but more like chewy/crunchy. Next time you're in there see for yourself. Take the cheese, sauce and the toppings off and you'll see what I mean. Its like the place doesn't even make their own crust. I respect places that have their own recipe. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they do make their own crust, but I have yet to be convinced. On the other hand, some positives: the service was great, and the restaurant takes pride in the Highland community, as shown all over the place. The place has so much potential, I wish the pizza could live up to it. Apparently this place is hopping on the weekends with the drinking crowd of all ages. read more

10/10 literally the only pizza place I order from in town anymore! Great customer service and staff Food is amazing! They have a great bar and it's a great atmosphere read more

Their pizza is fantastic. Best in town. Nice atmosphere. Family friendly place for all. You can drop by and have a drink at the bar. Super beer selection. read more

We went in later on a Sunday with out of town visiting family. It was a hour before kitchen closing and the waitress gave us menus. Then about 3 minutes later she come back and says her manager closed the kitchen because of a "emergency at home". So we gather up our things then the drunk sounding kitchen manager slurs out. Hey y'all can order I'll cook it up. Meanwhile the other drunk "friends" who are laughing aren't helping. So we walked. Dude. OST his establishment probably $100 or so In orders on a slow Sunday. Will never go here again. Pizza previously was mediocre at best. Find some place else! read more

They have amazing chicken tenders (spicy garlic and hot are my families favorites), cheese sticks, and St. Louis style pizza. They also have a nice selection of draft beer. read more

The atmosphere here is a winner. Cool place to go and sit at the bar and have a beer, but also very family oriented in the dining area. Pizza is decent. I really like the wings and dinner salads here more than anything on the menu. Owners are super nice also. read more

Excellent as always. Friendly staff, good food, great company. Tvs and good conversation. Treated me to a free drink for my birthday. Try the mushroom pepperoni and bacon St. Louis style pizza. It's the bomb diggity .com÷ read more

Sam's Pizza & Pub - Not all the liquor available there is another bar! Just the part I'm enjoying currently - Pizza Near Me - Highland, Illinois

Delicious, fresh pizza. Try the jalapeño garlic cheese bread. It's awesome!! They also have a nice selection of beer.

This is the best pizza in the area period. St. Louis Style 5 Meat is to die for. The atmosphere is hopping and the staff is friendly and prompt. As an added bonus they always have a very good craft beer selection on tap, not your run of the mill stuff other places in the area have. They typically get the rarer Perennial stuff on tap. Put all that together and you have a great evening!! read more

Wood floors make this place exceptionally loud. You can not hear your self think. The service is lackadaisical. Many little towns have small pizza joints in Southern Illinois. This is one of those. Most of the the pizza is solidly average. The bacon was terribly salty. The sausage mushroom pizza was really pretty good. The salad was amazingly fresh and although the salad dressing offered was ranch. It tasted homemade or of very good quality if bought. The cheese sticks were really good as was the t ravs. The wings were also tasty but only mild. If they can bring the heat they may have some good wings? All in all probably a 2.5, I do not know that the food will bring me back to deal with the service. read more

I'm from Jersey. We have a lot of Italians. And therefore, I was a little disappointed with Sam's and the St. Louis style of pizza. It tasted okay but it had a really thin crust. The pieces were cut in a fun and wacky way. Also, I was mad at the bf for ordering a salad just for him, but the salad wasn't really my type, not quite healthy. read more

Good Pizza and Wings and good selection of draft beers,would recommend eating here again

Went this evening for pizza with friends and had an hour to eat. Told the waitress at the very beginning that we were pressed for time so that our friends could make their appointment. First, we received our salad but our friends finally had to ask for theirs because our waitress never brought it. Then with 15 minutes left to eat we finally asked where our pizza was only to be told it had been delivered to the wrong table. Our friends had to leave before they could eat so we had to get it to go. Also, when she refilled the drinks, she put ski in the water glass and water in the ski glass!!!! They did take 15% off our bill but after everything that went wrong, it should've been free!! We hadn't eaten there in quite awhile and now I remember why!!! read more

Pizza is absolute garbage. Don't know how any of their other food tastes but I've had multiple frozen pizzas that were way better than our $17 TWO topping pizza from this place. I should've read the reviews before we wasted our money at this place. read more

Excellent St. Louis style pizza! The staff is both friendly and helpful. It is a great place to hangout with friends and family and have a good time. I strongly recommend the BBQ chicken pizza! read more

Absolutely amazing pizza. Love this place!!! One of my childhood favorites. I live in San Diego now, and when I go home to visit it is on my top 3 "must have" list. read more

Great Pizza & Dinner Salads! ... Took my in-laws here this week & had Great Family Dinner!

Decent Pizza but I've had much better. Service is TERRIBLE and the place looks dirty. Disorganized slow service and very little parking.

We stopped here for dinner after discovering that the other restaurants nearby weren't open. Fine service and friendly folks but the pizza left much to be desired. Not much taste, overcooked, and thin, tasteless crust. read more

First off, this is not St Louis style pizza. St Louis style is very thin crust with provel cheese. However, this pizza is a Highland icon. I think it is good. The cheese sticks are really good, with their marinara sauce. The BBQ chicken tenders with ranch on the side are really good. We like the cheese sticks and BBQ chicken tenders better than their pizza. Yum! I love to eat here with my family. read more

SAMs pizza is a place that competes with the best pizza joints around. Great staff, and outstanding food. This could be a bar for a night out with the guys or a place to bring the whole family. I love it here. read more

Came here for late dinner, bartender Ashley was very friendly, didn't know which beer to get and they offered me to try a sip of two different ones, had a 10" pizza with Bacon and Canadian Bacon toppings and the rest of the staff was friendly as well! Would definitely recommend :) read more

Stopped by for the first time. The place was really busy. The service was fast and friendly. Tried the appetizer sampler, the thin crust 5 meat pizza and the pizza sandwiches. Pizza was tasty. We all liked the cheese sticks. The sandwiches were just ok. Place appears to be very clean. It has lots of large tables for groups. 4 Stars only because I think the pizza prices are a little high. Overall, a good experience. read more

Sam's Pizza is a Highland Legend. Not St. Louis style!!! Many different varieties, good appetizers, wide selection of beer and liquor. This business keeps growing with the addition of the "back room" (party room) 2 years ago. Good idea to call ahead if you're going to be having a large party (over 8), especially on the weekends, and during the week!! read more

Excellent pizza. It is uniquie and not like any other style. Atmosphere is perfect for families and if you just want a beer, the craft selection is fantastic on draft. This is a must do in Highland, IL. read more

Sam's Pizza is a welcoming, fun, family friendly, pizza restaurant in Highland, Illinois. Their pizza is excellent and delicious. The salad is fresh and cold. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The apps are fast, hot and tasty!! Always a great experience!!! read more

If you like the St Louis style of pizza it's a great place to enjoy some. I prefer it to Imo's. The pub aspect draws quite the crowd at night and can get hectic. read more

One of my favorite places to hang out. Pizza is the best thing on the menu. The chicken parmesian sandwich with fries is a close second. The service and bartenders and even owners are very attentive and genuinely friendly. I have never seen this place empty - it is worth a visit if you are in town. read more

I've had Sams once and I don't think I will go back. It was very expensive and the crust tasted like cardboard. Overpriced for the quality. I was really disappointed too because everyone said it was so good. read more

Had pizza from their new location in Breese and it was awful! Pizza crust was like cardboard. Tasted like it was a frozen pizza crust. Ordered a pepperoni pizza which you might as well called it a cheese pizza. The pepperoni was very scarce. The pizza sauce was not good and the cheese had a weird taste. Can't say I will ever go back there again. read more

This place has great pizza! The night life is wonderful. The owners are hysterical and fun!

Really love the pizza and the the staff. Plenty of room for dining, however get there early! Wonderful draft selection and interesting take on sides. Would recommend. Better than any of the other pizza places in town. read more

Pizza was good, but for having made reservations with a large group, we only had one waitress. Went to the bar for drinks and to order food. Had to go get our own plates once pizza came. Had to get our own boxes for leftovers and had to ask for our ticket to pay. They didn't know who ordered what and some of our group didn't even get their food. Poorly organized on the restaurant's end especially for a friday night after 8. Ordering at a window and calling out for an order to picked up would be the best resolution for this restaurant as we have never had really good service here. read more

The crust is yuck, yuck, yuck, although, the sauce is delicious. I love the sicilian fries. That is the only menu item I care for. Service is not good and the bar crowd is very young and mouthy. Not a fun atmosphere at all. read more

this place is AWESOME! went there tonight and got a 10 inch cheese, a 14 inch sausage, and a 14 inch chicken bacon and ranch. got apps and they were ravioli, cheese sticks and butter and garlic wings.best pizza in my LIFE! read more
