Sammy's Pizzeria, located in Niagara Falls, NY, has garnered a mix of praise and constructive feedback from patrons. Reviews highlight the delicious New York-style pizzas, particularly the deeply satisfying deep-dish with a sesame crust, although some diners suggest sticking to the regular crust next time for optimal flavor. The salads, especially the Greek salad, also received commendations for their freshness and quality. Service at Sammy's can be hit or miss: while many have enjoyed friendly interactions, inconsistencies in timing have been noted, particularly when ordering multiple items. For instance, one customer experienced perfectly cooked wings paired with slightly dried-out pizza due to the timing of their preparation. Despite these hiccups, the dining experience remains largely positive. The atmosphere is described as casual and nostalgic, with an “iconic” status among long-time patrons who have been visiting for decades. Although some note that the interior could be warmer and more comfortable on hot days, the pizzas' great flavors and quality keep customers coming back for more. Many, including Canadian visitors, appreciate the value offered by Sammy's, especially with special combos like a half tray of pizza paired with wings. In summary, Sammy's Pizzeria is a delightful option for pizza lovers, especially those looking for a taste of classic American cuisine in a laid-back setting.

The food usually always good. If you order more than one thing to go, there usually is a issue. There timing for finishing more than one order, poor. Example a pizza and wings. They may have your pizza done. So they stick it on top of oven to stay warm,well they finish cooking your wings. You're wings come out perfect,but you're pizza was perfect,but gets crust hard and dried out waiting for the wings to cook. Not a complaint because it isn't the same , every time. I guess it depends on who is cooking. Still thumbs up to 95 percent of staff.

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.

Although in an old area of town, the pizza itself was delicious with great flavors, baked perfectly. Service was just okay, atmosphere was okay, but very warm inside on a hot day, not real comfortable. Would have the pizza again. Beware the mediums are more like a large.

I’ve been coming to Sammy’s from Ontario for coming on 40 years. It’s Iconic. Things have changed, that’s for sure, but the pizza and wings are still excellent. I just wish my Canadian dollar went farther.

Went to Sammy's for a pregame meal on our way over to Sabres game based on a recommendation. We live in nearby Niagara, ON and are always looking to try different pizza & wing spots in NY. Sammy's lived up to the amazing reputation & recommendation. The pizza is top tier, the pepperoni are nice large cup n char style, and heavy distribution. The cheese is what we go across the border for, it just hits different in the states, and the sauce, crust & cook wrapped it all together perfectly. The wings were classic Buffalo wings, amazing flavour, some of the best I've ever had. Sammy's is going to be one of my top spots on any trip over the river and I can't recommend it enough! The pub vibes are classic Americana, nothing fancy but just what we were after (we sat in the pub, although they do have a nice size dining room as well!). Karen gave us great service! They've been doing it for 63years so you know they're doing something right! Do not miss this legendary spot.

Had a wonderful experience after visiting Niagara Falls. Food was almost as amazing as my server Crystal who was so kind and attentive. Also the endearing small town American vibes made it a wonderful escape from the tourist traps at Niagara Falls.
