"Upon ordering Little Sam’s I didn’t know quite what to expect at first I expected a small town little pizza shop as that’s what it’s kind of advertised very small you know didn’t expect too much upon ordering via phone call"

"I like the pizza"
Upon ordering Little Sam’s I didn’t know quite what to expect at first I expected a small town little pizza shop as that’s what it’s kind of advertised very small you know didn’t expect too much upon ordering via phone call. I couldn’t have been more blown away by the service, and by the complete atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant they offer more than just pizza they have beautiful Italian dishes, which are reasonably priced for San Diego. I got our food, my wife and I and our pizzas looked to die for. The perfect amount of grease the perfect amount of crust, cheese, and toppings. It was simply layered amazing then we bit in for our first bite and saying we were blown away is quite the understatement. I definitely would recommend this place to anybody any pizza lover, or just foodie in general, where they can enjoy a nice quick bite to eat or to be honest if you just want to have a nice cheap dinner with high-quality food. Little Sam’s crew you guys did an awesome job keep up the amazing work!

They had mixed reviews for pizza and few for their pasta so I decided to give them a try. I ordered the lasagne and also a garden veggie pizza for lunch tomorrow. I was surprised to see such a large container for a single serving. Then, I went to try it. The lasagne was 90%sauce. You can see what few noodles were baked in were broken. The sauce tastes much like canned ravioli. There were no layers of noodles, sauce, cheese. Whats it called if its not layered? The salad was fresh and though it had few ingredients, its was a big salad. The pizza looks tasty but its not pre-cut. Thats a service I took for granted. I will have to review that tomorrow, after I cut it. For the lasagne, I give it below average with lots of room for improvement. EDIT: The pizza was actually really really good! Im changing my rate to 3.5 stars. I reheated in a skillet, flipped it once to brown the cheese and it did not disappoint. Good Save Little Sam!

I ordered 2 pizzas using the Slice app to be picked up at 6 pm and received a text at 5:42 pm alerting me that my pizzas were ready. I got there at 6 exactly and they hadn't even started my order because they forgot. I understand that things happen, but I was in the rush and had to wait until 6:20 for pizzas I ordered hours earlier. No one else seemed to have to wait. People came to pick up online orders and their orders were ready for them. Little Sam's made a mistake and refused to do anything about it. Customer service is crucial and this place lacks it. They just lost a great customer. Now I see why their ratings are so low.

Went 40 mins before posted closing time to get a pizza for my partner and his friends working on a car. Haven't been in a while since I lived in that area, but they are currently remodeling, which doesnt take away from anything, and should look good when done. The pizza prices are great! An xtra large cheese was about $18, I left 20 and waited in my car. The guy brought it out to my car without me asking, and provided plates. The pizza was huge. Fed 3 men and myself, and had leftovers. The pizza was hot, and tasty, but nothing special. I wanted pizza, and got pizza for a good price, cant ask for much more :)
I like the pizza.. but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Once, I ordered 6 pizzas to be picked up and they said they would call me when they were ready. They didn't. After an hour and a half, I called back and they said the pizzas had been ready for a while. Another time, I ordered one pizza for lunch for pick up and they said it'd take 15 minutes. I was there in 15 minutes. When I asked about my pizza, they said they had given it to someone else, but another one would be ready in 10 minutes. That's unacceptable. So.. while I like the pizza, I'll go somewhere else to get that fix.
Lower prices online. Ordered accordingly and was upcharged once I checked out. The price seemed to be 4 or 5 bucks higher than the price listed. After going back and forth with clerk, I showed him HIS prices on HIS online menu through Goggle. He said those prices were wrong and did not honor the price online. lost a customer. I've known about this place for 30+ days and have eaten there 4 times already. I'll never go back. Poor customer service. Food isn't that good to cheated out of my money. Petty.
The wings were good. The pepperoni and sausage pizza was good, except I didn't like the sausage they used. They were these small balls that didn't have that authentic sausage flavor and they all rolled off the pizza. We asked for parmesan cheese and utensils. They didn't include either. Not paying attention to these little details tells you alot about a business.

Fantastic! Hands down, the best pizza I have found in San Diego. I have tried all the self-proclaimed bests, and the heavily advertised, even the ones on diners, drive ins, and dives. As far as my taste goes, their sausage pizza, with freshly chopped garlic and fresh oregano is heaven. I will admit, they are not the friendliest bunch, but if there is a problem, they fix it. They even open the pizza box when you pick it up to make sure your getting what you want.
The owner working there has absolutely the worst behavior in dealing with door dash that I have ever experienced in my life. He refuses to provide utensils and condiments to his customers even through they requested them and when request is made by dasher. He screams and is incredibly condescending to dasher! Absolutely HORRENDOUS BEHAVIOR!

I just ordered from the "Sam's Wings" pop up on Uber eats and WOW. Best price I can find for wings (including 7-11) they were fresh, they were saucy, they were SPICY! We got a healthy portion of fries for our combo, and I'm telling my boyfriend this should be our new go-to for wings, and I mean forever, not just for now. Way better than any of the more expensive places I've tried lately for my wing fix. Good job guys!
Little Sam's is really tasty! The pizzas are big and flavorful and they have a huge variety of types. They are generally done in 10-15 minutes. We usually get an extra large, which is enough for dinner, breakfast, and lunch with snacks in between! Definitely a great value. There is seating inside and lots of free parking. It shares a building with the Cotixan burrito place, which is super easy to see from the road.
Very good New York style pizza. Not greasy like many other shops. We got the $23.99 special of a two topping large pizza with 10 wings and a 2 liter coke. Our toppings were chicken and Canadian bacon and there was a good distribution since with each bite you got both. The wings were a bit small, but moist and cooked to the perfect crispness. The honey BBQ sauce was very good, with a good balance of tangy and sweet.
Love this place. I loved their quickness and how good they make and take care of their food. Their boneless wings are honestly so good I'm wanting some even right now. Pizza is honestly really good and all for those amazing deal prices. I'd go here again if I was still in San Diego. Sadly I'm in Chicago now, I wish there was a way to send food here. Best wishes to this company and I recommend it highly.
Pizza is a nice change from all the other pizza chains. That said, their pizza is about a 7.5 out of 10. The pizza has plenty of cheese and can sometimes be a bit soggy. I order pizza from them about 4 times a year.

I uploaded a picture of the old burned food that this place tried to sell to me today. Absolutely ridiculous. The young female working there is very polite. Also, months ago my husband and I ordered a chicken parm sandwich and a Philly cheese steak DISGUSTING. (Sesame seed stale roll, gross meat) The pizza is ok. (for a last resort option only.) I should have known better than to return.
New to the area and experimenting with different pizza places in the neighborhood to see witch one is the best. Based off Quality of food and price and I have to say little Sam's pizzeria definitely has to be ranked the number one in the community. Food was very delicious fresh,hot and delivered in a timely manner. Very satisfied with my order will definitely be ordering again soon
I brought my grandkids w me to get their first time going to a pizza place. They loved the pizza I thought it was delicious. The young lady who took our order was very nice and professional.

Great pizza, just too pricey and they don't offer a military discount. You would think they would since there are military families living not even two blocks from this location. Customer service could use some work too. Wasn't offered any condiments or shown the pizza to make sure it was what I ordered. Which is the reason why I haven't tried anything else they offer there.
I *love* Little Sam's Pizza! Try the Greek Pizza with gyros, feta, tomatoes, olives, green bell pepper. Yum!!!! Plus a large salad - they stuff the container so full of salad that the lid can barely close. Good value, great taste, sweet people. I just learned they have a "Mexican" pizza. Probably worth a try...if you aren't already hooked on the Greek pizza like I am!
Ok, this is ridiculous. COST OF 1LB BACON AT GROCERY STORE: ~$3.99 COST OF BACON TOPPING AT LITTLE SAM'S PIZZA: $8.99 You are honestly telling me there is almost 2 lbs of bacon on my pizza?! Yeah right. They make decent food at criminal prices. If you're totally fine paying ridiculous prices, then enjoy. I live down the street and I will drive past them for food.
The pizza is delicious, and the crust is amazing

We asked for a 16 inch and got a 12 inches... understanding your customers is key to being successful... next time I will ask for them to REPEAT the order. UODATE... Rapheal the store manager called us a couple hours after I posted this and he apologized and correct the pizza. Thank you Rapheal, your customer service is excellant! So is the pizza....
First time ordering here and their wings are legit. I've had a ton if bad experiences ordering around the area and was not expecting the quality of the price I received. Might not be the top tier wings in SD, but bang for your buck these stand alone. Will definitely be back.

Terrible! I order bufflo chicken fries and pay almost $10 for this like 6 breaded nuggets with a side of bufflo sauce. You advertise bufflo chicken fries and the women said "honestly its big probably for 2 or 3 people" i ate maybe 1/5 and this is whats left do not go here they also ruined my burger i told them only cheese and it had everything on it
Loved the pizza was so good, and the service was great . I would highly recommend this place for pizza you can 2 slices and they are big with a soda for 8.00 dollars. Excellent food and delicious service.

I’ve order from here many times because it’s so close to my house. The woman who answers the phone now is rude, flustered, always in a rush and gets instantly annoyed if you ask any questions. I finally got tired of paying $30 for a pepperoni pizza and dealing with this lady. I’m happy drive a little further for a better price and better service.
The pizza is outstanding!!! Really great and fresh salad too. Raymond just does it right! He delivered pizza for 40 healthcare professionals at Sharp Memorial Hospital for me. I got a call the next day telling me how everyone was just raving about the pizza and they just had to know where it came from. What else can you say...
I was amazed with how good the pizza is here. Pricing is good as well.

Ya know those little gems that only the locals know about? This is one of those gems! We've been enjoying our way through the menu and have loved everything so far! The variety on the menu is great for when everyone wants something different and the'Meat Lover' pizza has become a 'go to' for our family movie nights :)
Initially I gave Sam's 4 stars. 4 for service. 3 for non pizza food. 4.5 for pizza. I'm changing it to 5 because your money is well spent here. Price to cost it is a fantastic deal. This is the place I decided to get pizza from now on while I live here. 5 for service. 3 for non pizza food. SOLID 5 for pizza.
Little Sam's is ran by some of the friendliest, hard working people in San Diego. If anyone is looking for a rare gem hole in the wall, which serves some of the tastiest Italian food, and dare I say it, the best buffalo wings I have found in the San Diego area, I would highly recommend popping in.
Love these guys! Great atmosphere, great conversation! 2nd time having the Greek Goodness with kalamata olives. REAL good!

This is an OK place to eat, a bit pricey as a calzone is just as much as entire pizza. Huge disappointment that they are surrounded by military housing and this is a military town but the don’t offer a military discount!? Won’t be coming back here ever. Can support us, can’t support them.
First time ordering from here today, delivery was fast, food was hot, pizza was DELICIOUS, we got the New York white pizza, stuffed jalapeños were big, very tasty. Good bread sticks, good sauce!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆

Ordered their 2 slices and a drink for $8! They did not disappoint! The slices are huge and you're able to add toppings. They did not skimp on the cheese or toppings! So f****** good! My husband and I will definitely be coming back. Little Sam's Pizza just gained new regulars!
The cook was not wearing gloves and he was handling money...not once did I see him washing his hands. The mother of the shop kept touching her mask and handling food. I got disgusted and left. With all this Corona virus I really think they should practice safety.
I always stop by the taco shop next door. Today I tried a pizza slice combo. Ingredients were surprisingly fresh and of good quality. A great variety of food and priced well despite todays inflation. I will stop by more frequently now I know how good it is. More
Pizza is always on point. This was my & son's go to place on Friday nights for at least a year straight. I stopped going every week only because he started watching what he eats, and then left for college. Just went again today, and the pizza is still on point.
I ordered the cheese calzone and asked for spinach. ...they charged me $4 extra! Paid $21 for this thing and waited FOREVER.... (I was the only one in the restaurant). Then, on top of all of that it did not taste good at all! I ate 1 slice and threw it away!
Order pizza and breadsticks to go. This food was AMAZING! I haven’t had pizza this good since living in Europe. Sure it took 20-30 minutes for our food but worth the wait! I’m just bummed I don’t actually live in San Diego to make this my go to pizza place.
The worst eggplant parm sandwitch I've ever had. Buffalo chicken pizza was absolute garbage too. I really wanted to go back in and get my my money back and ask them to try it for themselves. How can this place still be in business? AVOID AT ALL COSTS..
28 Inch was great! Large enough for my family. Crust was crispy with just the right thickness. Sauce did not invade the crust to keep it dry. Add the mild wings and Greek Salad, and bello! And do not get me started on the Ranch dressing!! W O W !!!
I asked the nice man how the calzones were. He smiled and laughed and told me they were great. He was not lying.

This little pizza joint has more than just pizza and it's all delicious . You can enjoy anything from pizza, pasta, hot or cold subs, salads, jalapeno poppers, and much more. Fulfilling portions and great customer service! …
Took 45 minutes for one slice of pizza and when my food finally came out, it was very soggy, drowning in grease and overall disgusting. I used to come here since i was little and it's so sad to see that this place is where it as today.
Out of town for business arrived late and the dining selection near my hotel was zip...the go to pizza or Chinese...happened by this place...OUTSTANDING what great flavor...do yourself a favor do not go for the chain style pizza...
Huge portions, super friendly staff. Pizza slices are enormous (easily the size of two slices each) and made individually when you order them. Very good prices. If you're looking for a basic slice, nothing fancy, this is the place.
We stopped by for our complimentary San Diego visit and grabbed a 12" pizza, that fry-salad-thing and some other goodies (I lost the receipt, hence the vague descriptions, sorry). Served hot and fresh. Always worth the stop.
What happened with my order this time I’m not sure? I ordered a 16’ and got two 12’ pizzas for $46.61. I’m sure I was over charged. Not cool. I only ordered pizza nothing else. Usually it’s good this time it’s all bad....
Pizza is good but crust was okay. Which they had Bronx Pizza toppings option. I order the medium size. Almost $20 for 1 medium. A bit overpriced for the size. But I do recommend coming here if u just want a quick Pizza
First time I tried slice was amazing now I got garden so good thin crispy and fluffy really good pizza owner very friendly and clean place you can see everything when they prepare

1st impression - Friendly Staff, overall love the sauce and pizza but feel their dough could use a different recipe! Also was a little disappointed in missing a topping I ordered but still a fan!
Enjoyed every bite and sip from my two slice one topping pizza + M fountain drink for $8+tax. Large slices and savory!

Wow!! Very delicious pizza! Fresh generous toppings. We had the supreme. It was perfect! It's a bit more than "chain" pizza but if you like quality pizza its well worth a couple extra bucks.

Pizza is pretty good. Ordered an XL pizza, asked for it well done. I like a more crunchy pizza. Wasn't as crunchy as I'd like, but probably due to it being delivery. Good pizza.
Great spot for pizza! Haven’t tried anything else on the menu but they have good crust & very freindly service. I always get the vegetarian and it’s loaded with good veggies.
Great little pizza place, try the meat lover with banana peppers. Let's continue to support these unique shops during this Gavin and Aunty Nancy Pelosi small business kill.
Ordered Philly steak sandwich combo for lunch and it was super delicious. Great food for these prices. Paid $10 for the sandwich, fries, salad and can soda combo.

Awesome pizza! Ordered online, it was ready in about 30 min, the New York White Pizza was amazing and their housemade ranch was super garlicky and perfect.
Good Pizza at a fair price. Had the large "Supreme" and it fed 3 adults w/ enough left over for some good cold pizza the next morning. Loved the crust...
That have really good pizza, they take a little long to prepare your food but other than that they are good and very friendly. Great customer service.
Good neighborhood pizza place with a variety of menu options. The carrot cake is actually really good too. Serving sizes are definitely generous. More
Prices doubled. So sad. They were my go to takeout in the weekends. Correction: they took away a great special for 2 pizzas at 24 or 26 dollars. …
Large menu I decided on a pizza by the slice. Huge slice of pizza! Delicious! Great customer service and very fast. Great first time experience.
The pizza is great but, I usually order the Philly cheese steak sandwich. I highly recommend it. Great service as we'll...
We had the chicken ranch pizza. It was very delicious. I wanted to try the Margarita pizza but they were out of tomatoes.
The food is always great. Little Sam's is my 'I survived another day of duty" special food spot.

Love their pizza, and they have it at a very good price. I normally get a large that lasts me all weekend.
They've been at this location for 20 years and they know what they're doing and how to make pizza! :-)
Yes the pizzas are great ( try the giros pizza) but the sandwiches are fantastic!
