Pretty much had this pizza for the majority of the nights I spent when I was in the Bronx last May. Best pizza I ever had, and the prices are not bad at all. read more

I asked for my slice extra crispy (how I personally like it) the owner made it as my request. I love their pizza a real great NY slice. also really friendly people working there! read more

I came here with my sister not enthusiastic at all because to me was just another ordinary pizza place...BUT NO. Pizza is fresh, crunchy and deliciously awesome. I was so delighted that I came back the other day to try the cheese pizza(first time I tried pepperoni) and I want to go back again. Definitely one of the best pizza places in NYC. Forget about 'Manhattan, go to the Bronx for Pizza!! read more

Sam's Pizza - Cheese Pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

THE BEST PIZZA! And awesome friendly staff. The pizza is always fresh. There are two and a half tables in the back space. read more

We've lived in Kingsbridge for going on 6 years, and just recently ventured into Sam's to try their pizza. Whoa. What took us so long!? Amazing, family-owned spot, with owners who care about the quality of their product, and the satisfaction of their customers. I also might add that I try to stay away from gluten/grains, as I usually end up feeling awful after I eat them, but Sam's never bothers my stomach- a true testament to the quality of the ingredients that they use! If you're looking for a good pizza place in Kingsbride/Riverdale, this is it! As previously mentioned, they don't deliver or accept credit card, so be prepared to make a stop at the ATM for some cash. Trust me, it's worth it! read more

Best Pizza hands down. I've lived in almost every borough, and I've spend enough time in every borough to try pizza... a true New Yorker. This pizza is GREAT! Screw all that brick oven fancy shamancy pizza places that claims they are the best! NOPE! Sams Pizza beats them by far. Family run, mom n pop store. Doesn't do deliveries. But they don't need too! People wait in store for pizza to be cooked in their one small oven. Doesn't matter! It's well worth the wait. A MUST !!!!! ++++++ read more

I have a love affair with Sams Pizza- meaning I dream of their pizza every night and day dream about it all day. When I see any of the staff in the real world I blush and run away. To me they are royalty- angels none of us will ever deserve. They ask me if I need toppings every time- and the day I say yes is the day the lord shall take me. Its perfect as it is! Do not taint it! Who are you to mess with the recipe!? I log my encounters in Sams pizza in my dream journal. Its always something interesting! Usually people who take the place for granted and do not treat it as the sacred temple it is. You want new fancy yuppy pizzas? Go elsewhere! You want delivery? Go deliver us from evil! Pick up the pie yourself wise guy, or give it a rest. Ill carry it to you if you need- as long as you pay your respects. For my love grows stronger every day- I pay thee my respects Amen read more

Great pizza but the waiting time is too long no pizza is better so I guess it's worth the wait

I have never been disappointed in the 10+ years I've been a customer here & even if they were to disappoint me, I'd forgive them 1000 times over. I like my regular slice & my anchovy slice, they cringe at anchovies behind the counter but they still make it!! I love you Sam's read more

Best pizza in NEW YORK. It's all in the sauce!! My pies are either half plain with half extra cheese or an all extra cheese fiesta with half pepperoni. The beef patties are really good too! Had a pie today, will probably have another one tomorrow. Hello High Cholesterol ;) *mouth already watering* read more

3 stars for the fact that there is no deliveries, no debit or credit card payments but the pizza is one of kind. I continue to eat it, even though I'm gluten free. Go figure! Lol However, if they finally get with the times (read above) I'll definitely give it 5 stars! read more

Among the last of the "pizza stand" pizzerias, with the window counter, no delivery, and few other options: they just have been making 3 generations of the best pizza around. I have it in multiple authorities that people who once lived in the area will journey from California for a slice of Sam's Pizza! read more

best pizza in the area! always so good. they also have icees which is a plus dont waste your time choosing any other place around here. read more

Maybe the last of the old-time pizza stands: they sell pizza and nothing else, nor do they deliver. But as been pointed out elsewhere, they don't have to. On a nice night, the front window is open, so you can just wait in the cool breeze for your pizza to bake. But everything I'm saying would be worthless if the pizza wasn't good, so let's say now that this might be the best pizza in the city. The dough, sauce and cheese are perfect! Have been going here for over 25 years, and it's perfectly the same as it ever was! read more

I grew in the Kingsbridge area of the Bronx but now live in Connecticut. If you grew up in the city and can remember when there was a mom & pop pizzeria on almost every block, you need to visit Sam's! I stop in every chance I get. I really miss this! read more

I laugh at any of the foodies leaving less than 4 stars... This place will never shut down. The history of Sam's will live forever in the neighborhood. You want service like Roberta's go there.. you want real NYC pizza, try a slice. Try working in an enclosed place with a 500 plus degree oven a few feet away & let's see how you fair. If you don't know how to drain or eat a slice, go get a frozen pizza for twice the price. Don't expect a seat & there is no number taking. You're in the Bronx with some hungry fiends. I'll skip the line for a slice if you aren't aggressive enough to order one. read more

Very good slices here, tasty, much larger than the average shop, this is a small store with only 3 benches in the back and a tiny but clean restroom. Pizza was very tasty, both the Regular and Sicilian slice, if I am ever in the area again, will eat here again. Its a bit out of the way but its an excellent slice of pizza. Most people seemed like they were taking it to go, but it was not hard to get a seat even though this place is busy. The menu here is very basic, pizza, garlic knots, beef patties, drinks and Italian ices. No heroes, no pasta dishes or hot plates. The part that I did not like was it was hot inside the store, no air conditioning. Made it hard to enjoy my meal but I enjoyed it anyway because the slices were excellent. read more

Finest pizza in New York - and I tried plenty when I lived there. It is always consistently made, and a great value. The absolute perfect ratio of crust to sauce to cheese. I ate here at least once a week for over a year ($2 slices made that easy) because it was up the street from where I lived. I miss it. read more

Back in college I used to go back to the city with my roommate on occasion over breaks and she introduced me to Sam's and I've been in love ever since. I haven't been back in a few years and today, my first stop upon arriving in the city was Sam's. I'm not even joking when I say that it is the best pizza. Not just in the Bronx. Not just in the city. Or New York. Or the country. I'm talking about the whole world. Sam's pizza is God speaking to us through food. The same kindly man is behind the counter, making the pies right in front of you with a big vat of sauce and pile of cheese. The slices are gigantic and perfect in every way. It's $3 a slice and one is good but two is heaven. They do offer toppings for an additional cost but trust me when I say that you don't need them. The regular slice is everything. Just help yourself to the tray of shakers (Parmesan, garlic etc) and enjoy. It's very small inside, there are two full size booths and a mini booth surrounded by supplies and their cooler of drinks. I plan on going again before heading black to Buffalo- it's the only way I'll get by til next time. read more

See all

All I have to say is that I am lucky to have this gem so close to home. Cash only no bells and whistles needed when the pizza at its core/ foundation is this good! read more

LOVE THIS PIZZA!! First off it's huge, second it's cheap and third they have italian ices to go along with it. My personal favorites are regular and Sicilian. I recommend one of each because they are just that good. They use a traditional cash register which is pretty cool too. It is great for grab and go but they have seats as well. read more

Large pizzas. They don't fit in the box without being folded on all four sides. The cheese is real. Sauce is tasty. Crust is thin and strong. Holds the slice. Would return but when I Get a raise, one slice equals three dollars read more

Sam's Pizza - Great slice - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

If you want to try great NY style regular pizza. This is your spot. Slices are big. Pizza is fresh and taste. Location is small but it adds to the amazing feeling of being inside a NY pizza joint. It's a cash only location! read more

So much oil. Slices are decent size. Price has been rising for a while. It is now $3 for a regular slice. Called to order a medium pie for pick up. They said 40 minutes, okay... waited 45 mins and sent someone to pick it up. The girl calls to tell me she did not get my order and I told her I spoke to the man who gave me the price as well. She said ok, nevermind but it will take a few more minutes. Came back 20 minutes later and it was still not ready so that was it. Over an hour for a pie? Not worth it. Horrible service. read more

I go here every so often for a slice near my apartment. Very small shop with a small cute pizza oven. Pizza always tastes super fresh. They use quality ingredients. Cheese doesn't start to taste plasticky if it's not piping hot like other places. Good sauce. The owners/workers are always really nice too and sometimes give you candy! read more

Best pizza in the Bronx! My favorite pizza spot. Try their regular slice and you'll realize why they are #1. Delicious pizza!

Truly a hidden gem in Bronx. Owner and his wife are very sweet, and pizzas are amazing they are better than Joe's pizza. Super crispy, cheesy and delicious. read more

Best pizza in the Bronx for sure. Doesn't matter that they don't deliver or only accept cash. This pizza is worth going to get. Whether if just for a slice or a whole pie. I'm going. read more

I loved the pizza which is great cause it will be my new pizza spot in the area. Not only was the pizza really good but I ordered a beef pattie with cheese and pepperoni and they also had CoCo bread! Oh I loved it! Definitely will come back again on my lunch breaks. read more

This pizzeria is small and not very upscale place but the pizza is the best. The real NY pizza. Great pizza.

Good on the go pizza. Small place but great pizza. The pizza was delicious. I got a regular cheese slice and it was a real NY pizza

Oh man! The pizza here is on point! Literally, one of the best pizza spots I know. Fresh pizza and so yummy! God bless the person who makes the pizza here. The lady who takes the orders looks like she does not want to be bothered, but the gentleman was very courteous and professional. A lot of regulars come here. I recommend that you check it out if you are in the area! read more

3 stars for my experience here, but 5 stars for the pizza. The slices are larger than your average pizza slice and cheaper than most places in the area. However, they DO NOT accept credit or debit cards, they close the store for a few weeks in the summer for "vacation", and they DO NOT deliver. Did I mention they only have one (1) oven -- making your wait time for a slice super long, and always over 30 min for a pie? Today, Sunday, I called at 5pm to place an order for pick-up and the phone just rang and rang and rang. They are already closed. The place is super-tiny and there are always several children (family of store owners) running around the store. Looking at everything in its entirety, it's as though pizza-making at this storefront is almost secondary to some other endeavor going on in the backroom ...(?) But who cares, they make a real good slice. read more

This little family shop offers great pizza. The place is small, so don't plan on eating there unless you get lucky and the table in the back is actually free. But, warning, after you have eaten this deliciousness, you will wish they delivered. read more

Best pizza I've had in the bronx in a long time . Service is great! Pizza was fresh & hot, prices are reasonable.

This could be the quintessential Bronx Pizza Place. They were quite busy while I was there, and deservedly so. A short walk from the 231st station and I found Sam's Pizza. There is no Sam per se but there is a hard working Albanian family of Pizza makers. They make a rather large pizza, larger than I have seen anywhere else. I ate in and the owner cleared a small table for me where I could eat next too a sky high pile of empty pizza boxes. The value is excellent. two of us ate two slices each, a can of soda each and italian ices each and the total came to $14. I heard one of the regulars order a slice with extra sauce. Now I know why... my slices were a bit lacking in sauce and what was there lacked character. However I took one star for the sauce problem , otherwize this would be a solid five stars for character, value, location. read more

They should be condemned by dept of health. Pizza tastes like a brick and Woman at counter picked nose and with some bare hands served pizza. Gross. read more

My fiancee and I were on the hunt for some pizza for our daughter. As native new yorkers and avid yelpers, he noticed the great reviews for this place and decided this would be the place where we would grab pizza and garlic knots. My daughter liked the pizza. The slice was pretty big. We had to cut in half once we got home. Now the garlic knots, complete 360. They were super bland and who ever made them used regular garlic seasoning (garlic powder). Never have I ever had garlic knots like that. I am used to the oily garlic knots with huge chunks of garlic and some herbs on it (even with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top). read more

Love Sam's Pizza! So delicious! The family that owns it is very sweet and takes good care of their customers!!!

One of THE best straight up NY slices. Hands down. I love snooty artisan pizza too, but a straight up, old school pizzeria slice is its own food group, and Sam's might be he best in the Bronx (if not all of Manhattan too). read more
