👍👍 Been since the start of covid since we've been to Sammy's. Living in Kitchener Ontario the pizza selection is quite poor we've been making our own. Yesterday we took our first trip to the States for an overnight stay. We had Sammy's the night we arrived and the next day for lunch. What can I say....... People often mention pizza, good, wings, great, cheese, Sammy', order, crust, ordered, area,

    Been since the start of covid since we've been to Sammy's. Living in Kitchener Ontario the pizza selection is quite poor we've been making our own. Yesterday we took our first trip to the States for an overnight stay. We had Sammy's the night we arrived and the next day for lunch. What can I say....tastes better than I remember!! We'll always choose Sammy's as I've been going since I was 21. So delicious and great service!!! Tim was kind enough to store our leftovers from the previous night in the cooler for us! It's a popular spot for us Canadians who love great pizza, wings, and a cozy dive bar atmosphere.

    Order a 1/2 tray of cheese & pepperoni, add sausage to half. 40 minutes later, Received a 1/2 tray of cheese, pepperoni & sausage, sausage on entire pizza. Called to let them know, they offered to send a new 1/2 tray of cheese & pepperoni, no charge ASAP. 1 hour later, received a 1/2 tray of cheese. 🙄🙄 They use to be so good, now they’re too slow, extremely inconsistent in quality and taste & not unable to fulfill an order they were paid to do.

    The food is great and our waitress, Robin was the best. We had fried zucchini which was out of this world, we also had a medium cheese and capicola pizza was the best I've had since I move from The Bronx to California. They say in California that it's NY style pizza but it's doesn't even come close. Go to Sammy's on Hyde Park Blvd in Niagara Falls, NY and you won't be disappointed. Best food and service around.

    0 stars if I could. Ordered a half tray cheese and pep & this is what I got. 🤮 the pepperoni was so hard it tasted like it sat out for days on end. The pizza itself tasted very old, there’s 0 way that was a fresh pizza. I couldn’t even chew it. $30 I took literally 2 bites & my whole order went in the trash including the Jalapeños poppers. Sad cause it used to be my favorite place but never again.

    I heard about this place from a local who grew up in the neighborhood. As a visitor I can't wait to follow locals' recommendation and that was a smart move. This pizzeria is full of character. The dough for specialty pizza is soft, medium thick, and slightly sweet. The tomato sauce also has that subtle and delicious sweetness. The salad was refreshing despite piled up with cheese and ham which makes it filling. The wings were on the dry side. Overall a great option for anyone who is interested in exploring local favorite and/or just look for old-fashioned homey Italian-American food.

    This is what dreams are made of. Crispy and saucy wings, cup and char pepperoni pizza - both so good. Will definitely add to the list of places to eat.

    We were visiting niagara falls and the hotel suggested sammys pizza. For some reason it qouldnt let me order online so I called. The lady did really good even though she sounded very new. They didn't have the cheese for stuffed crust and had to see if they had regular crust 😕. We ordered 1 large pizza 1/2 pep 1/2 mushroom plus fried mushrooms and the fried dough pieces. Ok for 1 the mushrooms were BOMB AF. dipped in ranch too. We ate almost all of them on the way back to the hotel lol. The fried dough pieces were so good too even though it was supposed to come with sauce but they were out. But good without it. And the portions were incredible especially for the price. The pizza was amazing too. Even though I wanted the stuffed crust the regular crust was great. The lady that checked us out wasn't so friendly and was kinda snotty when I asked about the sauce for the dough pieces. Almost like how dare you ask for something that we didn't tell you we are out of. The food is so worth it though. We even had a few pieces left over along with some fried dough pieces that we took home. The next day we heated them up (fried dough we ate cold and it was so good) the pizza tasted just as it did when we first got it. I'm so amazed.

    Update: went again last night before a hockey game and the food was great, only issue was the pizza took an hour and we almost had to pick it up after the hockey game. The waitress was amazing and offered to bring us slices to eat but just before we got up to leave the pizza came out. It was awesome and the wings were amazing! Been going here for many many years since I was a kid. It was a staple for Canadians for many years, it used to be packed - lined up every Friday and Saturday with Canadians, eating in and picking up. It changed a while back and I wasn’t impressed (pre-covid) so we stopped going here. We decided to stop here again and gave it a try. I am glad we did the food was awesome (big and tasty wings), really good pizza and wings! It was a Saturday and the dining area was not busy - only 3 tables, the bar had maybe 5-6 ppl drinking but the takeout line was long. I ordered ahead and they said 30 mins ended up being closer to 45 mins - but worth the wait.

    The famous, Award Winning pizza was nothing to write home about (it's definitely a guy thing), the 3 of us that consumed the pizza and potato skins became violently ill upon returning to our hotel. My other son ordered a sub. He was told it would, "be right out!". Almost an hour later, (we had finished eating and asked for a to go box for our 1/2 pizza) his sub was brought out wrapped in cellophane with a side of chips. I do understand they have take out and delivery options, but we were only 1 of 2 tables (6people in total) in the restaurant.

    Working here was an awful experience. The employees are very rude and treated me as if I wasn’t worthy of working there. They would be under the influence of either liquor or drugs, and when orders were messed up they placed the blame on me. The condition of the kitchen area is abysmal, very filthy and very disorganized. It’s a wonder the health department hasn’t shut this place down. If that wasn’t bad enough, the owners generously pay their employees $8-9 an hour, $4-5 below minimum wage, depending on the week. Don’t give your business and hard earned money to this establishment.

    A local dive bar that serves amazing pizza. The Alfredo chicken pizza was outstanding. Huge chunks of moist chicken, the dough is made fresh and the crust was easy to eat. The traditional Buffalo wings were big. The price is really good for such good food and the seating and service was great.

    I ordered Cajun crust and meat pizza along with 10 hot wings It was promised in a hour it came in 58 minutes. I looked at the box and called back the driver and showed him. I DID NOT EAT THE PIZZA WOULD YOU? LOOK AT PICTURES 📸 Should have returned my money for pizza since something was spilled all over box So I called this morning and spoke to a lady who is gonna make it right as I live in Kansas and am a Trucker. I think that's awesome 👌

    Found this place more like combo of pub and pizza parlor. There a banquet room, dinning area. Nice size crew include 3 part cook kitchen crew. The place is small, but nice with at home appeal to the place. Finding this place is not hard, located right across from ball park. Dinning area nice for family. With the banquet area great for call ahead and setup for party, birthday, sports .The place handed down with founder Sam Musilino 1962. What sets this out from the others. Is that it's on the off track, not sandwich into tourist drama that found here in Niagara Falls. Sammy is definitely place need check out.

    Deep dish pizza sesame crust. Would get regular next time. Good pizza though. Nice portion of toppings. The Greek salad was great. There is a bar inside and dining but didn’t eat in. So had to give 3 stars for atmosphere.

    Spent 60 dollars on doordash for pizza that used to be amazing to recieve a pizza that looked and felt like it from the slice oven from lunch. The wings are black and cold not even cooked properly. Was a great local pizza place I'm not sure what happened

    The atmosphere was very peaceful. Me and my friends were on a trip to Niagara falls. The staff Kailey was extremely polite, sweet and got some tasty food for us. She was very patient while taking our orders. The old fashioned white pizza, chicken wings, garlic bread and sweet potatoes were worth it. The place is good. Thanks Sammy's Pizzeria!

    Total garbage. Hour 1/2 delivery arrived Luke warm. Wings ordered crispy, arrived soggy as can be and filled with grease.with No blue cheese. Pizza just sucked, dried out like it was from yesterday. I wouldn't recommend this place to feed shelter dogs.

    Arrived at 720 pm on Friday After seeing the mural, we thought that maybe we should try this place if they take this kind of pride in things, it's gotta be good. The patio looked like it's nice in warm weather. The front door had no door knob... and it didn't just fall off today it's been that way for a while. The dining room is seat yourself. We sat near a fireplace that seemed cool. (Warm) There were 2 or 3 parties beside us in the dining room. Maybe 15 people total. There were maybe 10 ppl at the bar, if even that. We ordered a medium pizza and 20 wings. She took our order. Brought us drinks and didn't come back until she brought our pizza 45 min later. We had finished eating wings by that point. The wings came out after 30 min. And they had been sitting because the top of the pile was cold. The wings weren't bad.... The pizza was very thin and just about to be burnt if it was in for another minute. The waitress finally asked to refill our drinks after she brought our pizza. The party at the next table was vaping and swearing pretty loudly. The wait was honestly way to long A pizza takes 15 -20 min in one of those ovens and wings, probably the same if not less. The men's room was not bad for a bar in a bad neighborhood, but it's in the restaurant.... The toilet stall had a weird door thing, and the frame was falling off the wall. The toilet was kinda nasty. See the pictures The mirror looked like someone blew their nose on it, and the paper towels all got tossed on the floor. The waitress was not a happy person maybe just having a bad day??? Honestly, they should have spent the money from the mural and got another pizza oven ? Or maybe pay the employees better? Will not return

    Food was good we used to visit this place when we were young. We now wanted to road trip somewhere and this popped in our heads, the wings were really good, good value and they cooked them the way we like as requested. The pizza wasn't the one we got back in the day, we ended up tying the Chicago deep dish and it was pretty good. There was a lot of sauce, which is the way a Chicago deep dish comes, and the sauce was good so it was easier to eat. If the sauce wasn't good I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

    Unfortunately my childhood pizza spot, is no longer as good as it use to be. The pizza crust was pretty dry and even though there was cheese on the pizza. It wasn’t the type of cheese that is stringy, and pulls away from the pizza when you bite it. The wings are a nice size, but they were not fried long enough. I think if your looking for a quick cheap price for pizza. Then Sammy’s is the right spot for you.

    Typical American dive bar. Great food and cheap cheap beer. Wings and pizza good. Service... I think this lady needed to collect her brain... she was frazzled and forgot us so many times... I am certain had we had another waitress she would be on the ball. Been going to Sammy's for 40 yrs. 4 of us large pizza, 50 wings, 10 chicken fingers and drinks as well as corn nibblet hush puppies

    Placed a take out order through their website. Went to pick up after the timer hit 0 (started at 26 minutes) on the webpage. The order wasn't ready when we got there but the staff was nice about it. The bartender came over to check on the order because the other staff were taking a phone order when we arrived. Stuff like that doesn't bother me, but if you're on time crunch, you should probably order ahead about an hour. As for the food, we ordered a tray of pizza. Half cheese, half sausage and mushrooms, and it was great. Thin crust with a little bit of crispiness. Heated up well the next day, too. The patrons at the bar area seemed to be having a good time, and the atmosphere was nice on a rainy Tuesday evening. I'm glad to have a good pizza spot close to home.

    We ordered 6 fish dinners on a busy Saturday nite. Last Saturday to be exact, 4/16/22. The fish was the ‘Best we’ve had in ages!’ Entire dinner was great. Definitely the best fish fry in N Falls! Thank you Sammy’s!!

    This is a terrible place to get food. I ordered a steak and cheese sub earlier today, and it had virtually no steak what so ever on it. Like I'm saying it was bread, lettuce, onion, (tomato that I did not ask to be put on) and one thin piece of steak under all of it... one measly pathetic thin piece of steak lmao every single other pizza joint downtown makes a hardy fat yummy sub without putting stuff you didn't ask for on it, so what is the problem with Sammies? The problem is they literally do not care about anyone and have terrible management, staff, and cooks. Please be better In the future I hear you lose business everyday because of this sort of thing.

  • 5/5 Lorianna D. 2 years ago on Google
    The little pepperonis are probably the best thing I've ever seen. Not too greasy, just right! And everything is cuter when it's mini so this is for sure the place to go if that's your jam! Always go when I'm in the area!

    I have visited this Pizzeria on a few occasions for special events. I own a music production company and have enjoyed the offerings of many different establishments as part of my job. Catering rarely reflects the quality of a restaurant, but my experience with Sammy's has been positive in every respect. The pizza even on a buffet, is delicious and on point. Some of the best around. The wings are absolutely incredible. I have tried traditional Buffalo and three other flavors offered and found each to be absolutely outstanding. My next visit to Sammy's will be for an individual dining experience. As good as the buffet was, I expect that to be even better! I highly recommend Sammy's to anyone wanting a great western New York Pizza and Wing experience.

    Traveling through and had to make a meatball sandwich stop. Food was hot and fresh. Tuna melt was made to perfection and Tim was kind to customize to my special request to add tomato. Meatballs were seasoned perfectly. We will look forward to trying NY style pizza on our next trip. Feedback to owner: Food took a little while to make even though there wasn’t really anyone in there when we came, dining area seemed to need a little cleaning, and the old building would be hard to navigate in a wheelchair situation. Otherwise we would have added another 1.5 star. Good value and hearty food.

    The waitress was super nice, she admittedly stated she was new to serving people but in the end did fabulous, while she was the only real attendant on duty she nailed it and held it down. Wings were fire pizza was OK. Overall atmosphere needs love.
