Came from Chicago to Starved Rock and tried Sam’s Pizza. We paid 1,500$(discounted from 9,532$) for the most rich and flavorful Cheese Pizza I’ve ever had. Please if you come here respect this man’s craft. He is just one man and he makes the dough and sauce himself. Sam’s a bit hard to understand but he’s hilarious and friendly. Treat Sam as if you were in his home, and enjoy a delicious pizza.

I visited with my buddy while driving cross country. Sam is a treasure. He's the genuine article when it comes to real pizza. Sausage was delicious too. My buddy and I burned our mouths eating it it was so good. Came straight out of the oven.

Came in from out of town with friends and stumbled upon this local pizza place and it was an experience to say the least! Sam was a delight and he makes an INCREDIBLE pizza from scratch. Definitely a must-have if you're in the area! Cash only!

Simple little place that serves pizza. Husband and I were sick of the chains and other locals always take about Sam's. Decided to try it last night and WOW! We called in for takeout for a large with sausage and mushrooms and it was AMAZING. We waited until we got home to dig in and just by the smell alone we knew it would be delicious! The crust is not a cracker crust and not the thick and doughy kind but somewhere it between. The sauce was sooooo flavorful. Not sure what he puts in it but it packs a punch! Cheese was perfectly melted and I loved the sausage he used. 10/10 Would recommend! One large was enough for the both of us and we're usually big eaters. It was cheap too! Not sure if he takes cards. We just paid with cash. Was only like 10 bucks and the hubby left him a tip too. We will be back!
Sam makes amazing pizza.He is the best pizza maker I have ever seen.He always makes me laugh when I get pizza there.

I think this establishment has run way past it's prime. No drinks or salad available. Only order for take out. Pizza crust & sauce really good, but cheese and toppings slide off when bite into.

Cash only, the computer is always broken, and my pizza always seems to have anchovies. But the pizza is worth the $17,000. If you know, you know.

Best homemade pizza. We stopped by after hiking at Starved rock state park and reading all the positive reviews we decided to try this place. The joint takes you back to time, Sam is an amazing person to interact with and funny. He is really hardworking and super fast as well, we got our pizza within 20 mins. For $10 I was expecting the pizza to be average, but I was so wrong. I ended up eating more slices than I usually do. I would go back again. This is a must visit when you are in Oglesby.
