Sam’s 5th Ave Pizza

Pricey for once slice of pizza 4.00.
But it was across from the nightclub we went to at parq. It’s convenient and it’s decent since there was nothing else I saw. I drank and this did not wow me for New Year’s Day.

I was drunk and didn’t enjoy the pizza. Gordon Ramsay himself would’ve gone ape shit if he saw the pizza I consumed. I’d rather have a bowl of Prego, a single breadstick from Olive Garden, and pepperonis from a lunchables box then come here again. Actually, that mix doesn’t sound that bad if you dip the breadstick in the Prego and get the lunchable with the Oreos in it.
Don’t come here, but if you do — actually… don’t.

If I could give this «restaurant» 0 stars, I would. Did you know that after spending $ 25.60 on pizza and soda, you cannot even have a glass of water on the house? After you call them out and tell them that refusing to give a free, small cup of water is illegal, they will give you one.
The pizza was cold and tasted like a cardboard box with ketchup. If you want to run into some classy folks, and eat some terrible pizza, oh and also get treated like a second class citizens by the owner, go here!

It’s a late night slice place at the end of the nite, nothing more. $ 3 and not that giant of a slice.

Some friends and I were looking for some quick and cheap eats before heading to the civic center, and randomly saw this place. For some reason I still can’t fathom, we decided to head inside this sketchiest of locales. The pizza is terrible, the prices aren’t actually cheap, and a hobo came in to get food. You know it’s bad when that happens. What I really don’t understand is how this place can afford the rent in such a prime location downtown, esp when it’s next door to a perfectly good and affordable Subway. There must be some shady shit going down behind closed doors that enables this eyesore/​mouthsore to continue existing.

We were in a time crunch after we had picked up our tickets for In the Heights to grab some food before the show. Yardhouse had a wait so we decided to walk to see if there was a place to grab a quick bite.
We walked past this pizza place… looked okay from the outside but once we stepped inside we began to question ourselves… did we really want to eat here? We were hungry so we decided to just stay…
I first realized how big of a mistake this was after I ordered my lasagna and saw the guy stick something in the microwave… oh my… after that, I wish I had went to subway instead. The final product came out a little better than I had expected… and it came with garlic bread which was decent. Portion size was huge. However, this meal reminded me of a TV dinner (and I have had my fair share of TV dinners). It was edible but not what I expect when I go out and eat. I asked the cashier if he could fill my water bottle with water, and he replied «tap water.» I am sure pretty sure the soda machine has filtered water but he did not give me the option. This place is kind of shady…

I must say that I first came here after having a couple of drinks. The pizza seemed pretty good. I went back a second time, and my friend saw them do something crazy. I brought in a paper plate from another restaurant. I left it on the counter as they gave me a fresh plate for my slice. My friend then saw them take my used plate and then serve another slice on it. That is so wrong! That made me wonder about the legitimacy of the pizza slices. That big no, no give me pause for recommending this spot. But, the pizza tasted OK to me. So, I’ll leave it up to you!

This place doesn’t deserve any star at all!
The guys working here are horrible! Very rude and they have the worst work ethics!
I ordered a sausage lasagna from here the other night and was looking forward to a hearty meal. So after like 6 – 7 mins I came up to get the food and it was spaghetti!
I told the guy that I ordered lasagna and he said «One of your friends came and took your order» and pointed at some dude on the side table grubbin’ out. Some dude took my order my accident and the register guy whistled to get his attention letting him know that he took my food by accident in a rude way. How does he come to say that «my friend» came and got the order when I was 10 feet away with a completely different group of peeps?
Anyways, dude was already eating my plate so there was no way to exchange the plates… so I told them to start up a new dish of lasagna as I didn’t pay for spaghetti and was looking forward to eating lasagna. So he told me to wait 6 – 7 mins again (at this point I was already getting mad and was super hungry!).
So 6 – 7 mins passed by…
I came up to get my order and left, hopped into the car and cruised a few blocks down the street to my friends place. I peeked into the bag and looked at my plate when we went down the street and who would have knew?! It was the same spaghetti plate that I rejected!
There I was, waiting around for all that time when they told me they were going to fix up a new lasagna plate… and they go around pulling this shady sh**(excuse my language folks) and made it seem like they were cooking up a new plate when they were actually just way too lazy and put the same plate right into the to-​go box…
We all got so heated we drove right back down the street to this place and demanded I get a refund. When I told both of the workers about this, one of them laughed already knowing what was up. Wow…
What a real customer concerned place would have done was to tell us to keep the food and still give the refund back… they took the plate back while refunding the money… what a bunch of douche bags… stay away from this place folks!!!

This may have been the worst pizza I’ve ever had.
This is what happens when I don’t consult Unilocal before going out.
It tasted like freezer. Seriously. They probably bought this at Costco or something. Actually, it’s worse than Costco. It was like the pizza you’d get in elementary school. Absolutely disgusting. I couldn’t believe it.

Not a complete vomit –inducing disaster, but just not very good at all. I just had my face melted at the House of Blues and a sweaty me was suffering from post rock starvation. I didn’t really want to walk down to Ciro’s and wait in line and this place was the easy way out, so I took it.
Blah. The crust is too thick and doughy, and the sauce has almost no flavor whatsoever. It’s pretty cheesy though and they give a big slice. Now I get why this place is never really that busy.
I gave it two stars because of the portion size and price, only $ 2.50 for a slice. You’re probably better off elsewhere though. Only recommended if you and your tastebuds are blacked out, or the downtown drink prices have emptied your pockets to a point where you can’t afford anything else.

This was quite possibly the grossest pizza I have ever had in my life. I just needed a quick pick me up while wandering around Gaslamp, and made the mistake of popping in here. Undercooked, flavorless «pizza». Avoid it

I found a piece of hair in my pizza. Freaking disgusting. It almost made me vomit. The guy serving the pizza was a rude too. I feel bad giving a place 1 star, but it doesn’t even deserve that much.

So after ranting and raving about NY pizza, my search for great pizza, and how great Brooklyn Pizza is, maybe I had my expectations too high. If you are looking for good pizza, then don’t go here. The pizza was rubbery, super greasy, and the guy working there was an older, grumpier version of Al Bundy. Ok I’ll cut him some slack since he was working at 2am and there was a huge line of super drunk people finishing their night of liver abuse, ordering in some incoherent tongue of a lost language, but still don’t be mad at me. After all you are making money off this terrible pizza and we are giving it to you to absorb the wine and spirits. But back to the pizza, it was almost as bad as cafeteria pizza, the crust wasn’t even crispy and as I was carrying my pizza back to my hotel it had seeped through the paper plate and dripping down my arm. Now don’t get me wrong, I gobbled up that pizza like it was my last meal on earth, but only cause it was there and I had to absorb the poison I put in my body. So this is nothing like NY pizza, actually it is nothing like good pizza. If you have been drinking, then go there to eat, if you haven’t then I’d recommend an alternative.
