Sammy’s

Definitely the best pizza. Have been ordering from here for years, longer than I can remember, definitely more than five years. I always pick up since I live nearby and the service is always great with pizzas cooked on time, or just about to come out of the oven.
Warning, pizza will be hot enough to burn legs if you place the box on your lap in the car, but it’s worth it for the perfectly melted cheese (which is placed on top of the toppings to hold everything to the crust, this helps to avoid getting all the toppings in one single bite and then having plain pizza dough left… if that sort of thing bothers you, then order from Sammy’s)

I’ve been ordering from Sammy’s the past few years, more than five. Once I had a party at my place and I ordered about 10 pizzas and it was awesome. I spoke to the owner and he arranged everything, it went over without a hitch and my guests were happy to experience the taste that is Sammy’s pizza in South Calgary.
As the years went by, I began ordering Sammy’s less and less since the crust was too tough/​crispy/​hard for me! But then I discovered the donairs. Good donairs and then when I was doing a wheat-​free challenge and super hungry and in the mood for a donair but not wanting the wheat in the pita … I ordered the donair salad.
It seemed simple, and it really is just iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, some onion, banana peppers and some sauce with the donair pieces on top. but the taste was awesome. So good. Really just like a donair but without the pita. I ate it all and was totally satisfied. Perhaps the salad is a bit on the small side, perhaps it’s priced a little higher than I think it’s really worth. but it’s really good. Definitely worth trying. The flavours mingle together perfectly, the sauce is great, everything is FRESH … so four stars. No problemo.
Is Sammy’s really the world’s greatest pizza? That’s funny and it’s cute. perhaps it’s the world’s greatest pizza for someone. Perhaps they need to get out more. But seriously, Sammy’s is good. It’ll knock some of your socks off. Try it at least.

Their name is not a gimmick, they are simply the best!
Beautiful crisp, thick crust with all the toppings underneath the cheese.
The only thing better than the pizza is the staff!
Donairs are delicious as well but you gotta try the pizza.
Always a great experience, an absolute MUST-​TRY!

The only pizza place we order from in the south of Calgary! Sure delivery takes an hour in peak time but we only order on weekends so we expect it and plan for it. Busy is a good sign that they serve good food! Drivers are always polite, the food is great and exactly what you order is exactly what shows up. Oh yeah, and they don’t skimp on FRESH toppings. Keep up the good work.

Great pizza but expect to wait if you order during peak times. I was told it would take 45 mins for 2 small pizzas and an order of wings. It took over an hour, granted the order was placed at 530 pm on a Friday. There were 6 other people waiting for their orders when I arrived. If you order during busy times, I’d recommend adding an extra 10~15 minutes to your wait time.

We tried the Reuben pizza and the donair pizza. Both were really tasty, but the pizza style is quite bready so if you normally eat 3 – 4 slices, prepare to eat half that with these pizzas! They don’t keep well in the fridge after 2 days so don’t order too much. Otherwise, not a bad deep dish pizza!

Sammy’s does donairs best. Their sweet sauce is so good I always get extra, as well as with their donair fingers! I love all their sides and the pizzas are always very filling. And bonus the owners are awesome guys! The new location is also quite large and extremely well done!

Awful! I heard about this place n I thought I should try it. I wish I didn’t
Chicken donair was basically lettuce sandwich with a few pieces of chicken, pizza was too greasy, in fact it’s a cheese pie and above all it’s too pricy for the quality $ 17 for 2 chicken donair n 14.80 for medium cheese pizza, I could have bought 2 XL 4 topping pizza from dominos or papa jones. Never going again.

Sammy’s consistently delivers quality pizza in a timely fashion, and honestly, consistency in Calgary is key. They make a great pizza. The crust always has that light buttery consistency, the toppings are always fresh, and the sauce has a tanginess that is somewhere between sweet and tart – making a great pizza when put in combination.
I’ve only ever tried their vegetarian, and I have to say that ⁹⁄₁₀ I don’t appreciate large pieces of tomato added to the top of my pizza. It’s weird to me. I want things contained by cheese. Call me OCD, but it’s just how I feel. In the case of Sammy’s, however, the tomato seems to blend with everything else. Well done. It’s actually pretty impressive.

Great pies! Love the rest of the menu too. Wings and wraps are taste.

I wouldn’t say that it’s the world’s greatest pizza unless I happen to be an intense globetrotter like Carmen Sandiego where I have actually tried pizza from other locations in the world (I hear the pizza in Siberia, is how you say… COOL…hahaha… *cough*). But I would say Sammy’s certainly beats many pizza places in Calgary alone.
We’ve ordered pizza from here several times since Sammy’s isn’t a dine-​in restaurant. It is located just off MacLeod Trail nearby Humptys. The price is fair, compared to most pizza joints where for the same amount of money, you get dis-​formed regurgitate tasting pizza that a kindergarten child can easily draw with a set of crayons.
We’ve ordered several styles of pizza from Sammy’s ranging from meat lovers to veggie lovers. But I must admit, I didn’t fully appreciate their level until I tried their cheese pizza. It was hot, fresh, and the cheese was cooked so that you can enjoy the luscious melted texture, while you get the occasional pleasant surprise of the salty-​bitter burnt fromage crust.
Did I just sound like an uptight gourmet reviewer who just spazzed over a simple piece of pizza? The child in me weeps at what I have become.

Sammys! I had heard about this place before and I just had to try it! The sign says «Sammy’s worlds greatest pizza» A little bit of a bold claim wouldn’t you say? Hahaha but it was definitely a quality pizza with all bases covered. Good crust, good sauce and fresh toppings!
I would describe sammy’s Pizza as Quasi deep dish (like pizza hut style but a little sturdier and less greasy with overall better quality) I really liked the cheese pizza we got! It seemed to be a mix of cheddar and mozzarella and the cheese got all crusty and crispy and delicious! the pizza crust was really good and had good flavour and texture! The sauce was classic americana! Had that deep stewed tomato flavor with a nice herbal flavor (oregano-​ey) I rather liked it! Overall the cheese pizza greatly pleased me and I would certainly get it again.
The vegetarian pizza was really good but lacked a bit of flavor. The veggies were a little watery and had no seasoning on them so the balance was a little bit off I must applaud the quality of the toppings overall, they just needed a little more punch. Each piece had a big old slice of fresh tomato which was very nice and a nice contrast to the cheese! So even though the veggie was a little bland it was quickly doctored by a little hot sauce!
I am definitely gonna come back here again! A lot of pie left to try! Next time MEAT is on top! Can’t wait! Sammy’s definitely had some pizza mojo going on! but as for being the «worlds greatest pizza»??? Well I will let you decide! Check it!
