“ I want to start off by saying that this review is based solely on take out pizza. So the sit down restaurant could be different. Anyway, I ordered a large pizza from Sammy's based on a recommendation. Sammy's was touted as having New York style pizza. Although Sammy's was not the best pizza I ever had. It is by far, (so far) the best pizza I have had in Florida. More so in the Ocala area. I'm not saying it is the best. Only that they are the best we have had up to this point. Sammy's actually does seem like New York's style pizza. At least almost. But without a doubt, they actually make good pizza. It is close enough to New York style to make most folks happy. As such, I have given them five stars which I rarely give out. Again, it is not the best pizza I have ever had. But it is the best I have had in Florida (so far). (Edit to add: There is another restaurant that also makes very good pizza. So there are now two I've had) The price was not outrageous either. I paid close to the same price for a smaller pizza (same toppings) from a competitor, just the other day. Nothing is cheap nowadays. But Sammy's price didn't seem like they were trying to take advantage like some other places. So for an actually decent pizza, at a fairly decent price, Sammy's did it for me. I guess that I'm going to have to try out the actual restaurant. ”
“ I wish i could give 100 stars! This place is absolutely amazing. From Brooklyn and this place has the best cannoli ever. Pizza is to die for too, Margherita pie is our go to. Cant wait to come back and try some pasta and other dishes! Viera is the best waitress ever too. Cant rave about this place enough ”

“ Sammy’s is hands down one of the best local pizzerias around! From the moment you walk in, the owner and staff greet you like family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is always fantastic—whether it’s a classic pizza with the perfect crispy-yet-chewy crust or their mouthwatering Sicilian pizza that’s absolutely drool-worthy. Every bite is a reminder of why I keep coming back. On top of the great food and service, the prices are very reasonable, and there’s always plenty of free parking, making it a stress-free dining experience. If you’re looking for quality Italian food with a friendly neighborhood vibe, Sammy’s is the place to go! ”
“ Outstanding food and great people here! The garlic knots were made right and they used high quality garlic. Love the decorations. Recommended. ”
“ I’m so happy we stopped here to give Sammy’s Italian restaurant and pizza a try! Hands down the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to. I would be willing to travel far just to dine in here again. From the moment we called on the phone to ask ahead for reservations, which is not needed, to the overall food experience. We had a table waiting for us once we arrived to the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was there, he was so pleasant. Our waiter Anika was wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and food menu selections. We had their calamari, lasagna, pasta and tried their pizza! It’s been a long time I’ve not seen great hospitality with delicious food as a combo! Their sauces are family recipes you can taste the difference between a franchise and Sammy’s Italian. Keep up the great work! ”
