Pizza ? Sam's brings back soooooo many wonderful memories for me. When I lived in Alma and St. Louis, this place was an icon. You couldn't out do Pizza Sam's. The decor didn't change in the last 40 years and that's ok. From the swordfish on the wall to the mints on the counter, this place is the real deal.

This place has been my favorite place to get pizza every since I was 5. The pizza is really unique and so delicious. Personally, I like it better than any other pizza place I've ever been to. Their salads & onion rings are really good too.. I highly recommend trying it. I'm sure you'll love it & so will your kids.

It would be better if you could enjoy a hot pie from the oven, seated inside. Service was never great here, but now you can only eat a hot Sam's pizza in your car.....

My husband’s favorite is the Sam’s Special. Dipping the crust in the homemade French is where it’s at! The ham and pepperoni is phenomenal. Order an onion ring and dip them in the homemade blue cheese I am not a blue cheese fan unless it’s from pizza Sam’s with onion rings to dip. Highly recommend. Great owners, great food, great service.

Just a quick update to my review. This time my pizza was not good. There was so much cheese on it that the pizza itself wouldn't support the toppings. I like a lot of toppings but not to the point where they just run off when you try to pick up a slice.

Title: Two Decades of Deliciousness at Pizza Sams, Alma, MIFor anyone in Alma, MI, looking for the epitome of pizza perfection, Pizza Sams is the place to be. As a loyal patron for over 20 years, I can attest to the consistently amazing, fresh, and authentic pizzas they serve. This isn't just any pizza; it's a culinary craft where the best ingredients come together to create a pie that's simply unrivaled.What makes Pizza Sams stand out is their commitment to quality. Every pizza is a testament to their dedication to using only the finest ingredients. The result is a taste that keeps you coming back for more. It's no surprise that they've built a reputation for having the best pizza in the area.Over the years, I've heard various opinions about how the owners treat their employees. However, seeing the same friendly faces from two decades ago still working there speaks volumes. This continuity suggests that the owners genuinely care for their team. The longevity of their staff indicates a positive work environment, which is often a reflection of good management.Pizza Sams is more than just a pizza place; it's a legacy. Now a third-generation family business, Vince and his wife, the current owners, are among the kindest people you'll meet in the community. Their warmth and hospitality add to the overall dining experience, making each visit memorable.Every time I visit Pizza Sams, it feels like coming home to a familiar and comforting place where you're guaranteed to get your pizza fix. Their pizza is a staple in my life, and I have no intention of changing that. For anyone who hasn't experienced Pizza Sams, I highly recommend you give it a try. You won't be disappointed, and you might just find your new favorite pizza spot.

Stopped in last week for a large pepperoni and D-ham. The pizza was excellent!! Crust had a nice crisp and perfect chew. Toppings were VERY generous. Been eating there for 50+ years. Whether it was Sam, John, or Vinny, the pizzas were/are always consistently excellent!!

We have been coming to Pizza Sam's for over 40 years. When we could dine in, we went alot even though we live in Sanford. Saturday, September 30, 2023, we were in St Louis for 2 of our grandson's football games. We went to Pizza Sam's since we had not had their pizza in a very long time. We got 2 mediums and the toppings were great. But both of the pizza's were badly burnt. It ruined the pizza. Since we live in Sanford, we could not turn around and go ask for 2 more. So please tell your employees to check the bottom of the pizzas before they are put in the box so you don't give a customer a burnt one. It was horrible and we were so disappointed.Thank you and next time we will check the bottom before we leave the restaurant.Connie Holsinger
