“ Just ordered Friday night on our way to the river. Pizza was ready right on time. Cooked perfect and plenty of ingredients. One of the best pizzas ever. We will be back again. ”
“ An old favorite of mine since the 80s! This establishment has been in Ottawa since the 1950s and still popular as ever. Thrilled to see they have not changed their recipe. Extremely reasonable prices and tasty, fresh ingredients. Located off of Route 6, and more of a carryout place. They do have some indoor and outdoor seating. We got carryout and just before writing this, I managed to shovel half of a pizza in my mouth. Haha good to see that it is the same pizza I remember enjoying in my youth. My family and I ordered a regular medium cheese pizza with mushroom and half black olives. Extra red sauce on the side. Grand total $16! Whaaaat. Heads up they accept cash or check only. The mozzarella is so gooey stringy yummy. Plenty of sauce on the pie but I like extra. Seasoned perfectly. Picked it up and it was piping hot. Very happy to see this family-owned place is still in business and thriving. ”
“ My Sister just graduated grade school and for a family party my Mother was ordering cheap $5 hot and ready Pizza. I was not having any of this, what could save the day and my sisters party? Sam's Pizza and their famous beef rolls! For those of you who may not be aware a beef roll is a pizza crust filled with Italian beef and cheese the covered again with another pizza crust and sprinkled with cheese on the top layer of crust! it also comes served with 2 cups of beef broth if you want your meal a little more Juicy. I called ahead which is always a good idea as the wait can become quite long in the evening hours paid my $15.00 (for a small) and scampered off to my parents house there where 8 guests who enjoyed the beef roll and we where all quite satisfied (my mother included). If it was not for the food being a heart attack in a box I would order it more but I like to maintain a healthy life style. I do think next time I order out for a party the beef roll will be on my list of things to buy. ”
