Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza And Grill

Biggest ripoff! Cocktails so weak nobody can detect alcohol, then it’s $ 16. Food is weak and overpriced. Never felt so cheated at an airport dining experience.

Wandered in here because everything was closing at 10 and it looked like they had comfy seats– and they did! I didn’t have to wait long for service or food. The staff is courteous and didn’t mind me hanging out and catching up on the Walking Dead. There’s outlets under the bar ;) Loved the fries, wrap was okay (chicken too black, too much feta and olives). But the portions are like 2 meals in one and my check was only $ 11. This was one of my better airport dining experiences.

I didn’t even look at the reviews before coming here, and I’m glad I didn’t because I don’t think I would have stopped in. Unilocal gives this place such a bad rep, but I personally had a pretty good experience.
Service was good, my bloody mary was good if not expensive (but what drink isn’t expensive at an airport?), and honestly the pizza was great! I’m unsure if it is, but it definitely seemed fresh-​made to me — the crust was thin but still soft-​ish, and all of the toppings seemed fresh. It was super delicious. I don’t remember it taking particularly long to get my food, but I also wasn’t in any sort of hurry; I don’t think this place would be a good option if you need to «grab and go». My server was very friendly and attentive, and served my food to me boxed up since I said I’d only eat a piece or two and then take the rest to go with me.
I would definitely go back again, but only if I was sure I had an hour or so to chill out and enjoy my food.

Good food, reasonable price.
Airport food is usally a grab and run affair for me but we decided to stop in Sammy’s because it was the only place we could find with vegetarian type food in our corner of the airport.
The Greek salad is huge. I think it was 8.99. Very good. I cook and I shop. There was at least 8.00 worth of home shopped ingredients. It was very fresh and easily enough for two people.
The pizza was surprisingly good and was made very quickly. Getting one special made – without cheese and with ingredients that were not in the menu – was no problem. We just basically said we want a pizza with this and that on it. The pizza magically appeared just as ordered. The silverware was metal and the plates were real. The crust was crispy and good. The pizza was hoping to. It arrived at the same time as our huge salad.
A couple of other things caught my attention. If you eat in a real restaurant at an airport like Chili’s or maybe TGI Fridays the seating is cramped, there is always a rush, the menu is small, and there is no chance to see the food prep area and who might actually be cooking the food. Earing for alot of other places in sitting in a center area like a mall food court. Sammy’s has everything in plain sight and the tables are normal sized. The waitstaff and cookstaff were all mature and professional. The restaurant was clean and well laid out. We were not rushed to order or to leave after we ate. It was a peaceful respite from the sterile hustle of the airport, just a few feet away. They didn’t even charge us for our iced teas, and drinks at the airport are generally ridiculously priced.
Good restaurant. Sammy’s opened my eyes to the possibility that an airport dining experience for a non drinker vegetarian – beyond a cup of yogurt or fruit – can be a worthwhile experience. Compared to the tiny, expensive, offerings of the Starbucks a few feet away, well, there was no comparison. Sammy’s is also located adjacent to the A Terminal. So close, in fact, that you can see and hear when it is time to go. This is a great place to eat and unwind before being jammed into an American Airlines plane.

The worst. Do not eat here. Waited 40 minutes no pizza. Everyone else in the same boat. Don’t stop here. Waste of time

A lot of negative reviews here mention bad service, which I absolutely did NOT experience during my visit to this Sammy’s location inside McCarran Intl Airport. The host was courteous and the waiter behind the bar was helpful and attentive. I ordered the New York Style pizza and it was just as good as the pizzas served at the Sammy locations that are found throughout the city and Southern California. When I went here there weren’t a lot of customers, so I was seated right away and had no issues with the service or food. I was able to enjoy my meal while using the airport’s Wi-​Fi service. Settling the bill was quick and easy. Highly recommended.

Although the food is good the wait time is horrendous. Do not go here if your flight leaves within 2 hours our you’ll be running to the gate with a to-​go bag and an empty stomach.
Also, unless you’re feeling rich, don’t order beer. It’s seriously overpriced. Save your money and go to the little Belgian beer kiosk that’s right down the way instead.
Overpriced and slow are the words that best describe it.

As airport bar/​restaurants go this isn’t a bad place at all to spend at little time waiting for your boarding call. Wood fired pizza oven prepares a tasty pie. Would definitely recommend it. Cold beer and a friendly wait staff rounds out the pleasant experience.

What a horrible experience the staff is so rude that I never got a meal. THE hostess was the most disgusting human being you can imagine
The manager Crystal was equally as terrible. If you go there don’t expect anything other than what to expect at a dive. For the rent at an airport lounge this place needs help. Suggestions„ hire people that want to work.

I usually fly out of Vegas late at night between 10pm and 1am, and Samy’s is by far my favorite spot to kill time and have a decent meal and a glass of wine.
I read some of the negative feedback here on Unilocal,and I don’t agree to most of them.
To begin with, the pizzas are very good, definitively NOT your Papa John’s or Pizza Hut style (if you love those than maybe you will have issues with Sammy’s). The Five Cheese is my favorite: very tasty, mildly spicy, loaded with cheese, thin crust.
I also enjoy their fairly priced wine selection (Pinot Grigio is very good).
Staff was always ultra friendly and attentive, and they don’t bug you if you have to stick around for a couple of hours.
Highly recommended for tired passengers.
Cheers!

Typical in my travel style I got to airport EARLY to beat the TSA lines, and the hassle of waiting — plus love US airports for the shopping !!
Ordered the breakfast pizza with ham, tomatoes, egg, onions and cheese. (That’s exactly how the menu words this pizza).
The place is more of a lunch /​snack and dinner type of restaurant at the airport but they do have a couple breakfast items.
Well pizza arrived with bacon as well (not cooked well done so it was raw/​fatty like), and the eggs were scrambled — what jack ass thought that was a good idea. In my mind I saw a fried egg on top of the pizza in the middle as many places do… But not here. Anyway, not to my liking — I kind of picked toppings off and ate those for breakfast.
With that being said let’s move to the service side is Sammy’s. HORRIBLE !!! My server was more concerned about not missing any of the staff gossip as 7 staff members talked openly in the restaurant floor about customers, other staff members, and whatever else. They don’t have cream or milk for coffee but rather go over to the Starbucks pour some in a plastic cup and pour it into your coffee she actually didn’t even see people coming in and sitting down. She passed by my table many times and seeing I was finished didn’t ask if I wanted more coffee or how anything was. Finally I flagged her down for my bill actually had to ask again two more times because she got caught up talking with coworkers. Paid for my meal even though it wasn’t really even eaten.
My advise — skip Sammy’s and walk over to Starbucks or Rachel’s kitchen for something better.

It’s airport food. I’ve come to not expect much when dining at McCarron. The typical experience held true. Not overly clean (pieces of dried food left on silverware in this case we well as silverware and napkins under our «clean» table) and no real sense that anyone cares that you are there. But I guess when you have a captive audience, why try?
The positives about this experience were the food — my Mediterranean-​influenced grilled chicken salad was very tasty. The chicken was dry but flavorful, the kalamata olives were sliced very tiny, but plentiful and the dressing was light in texture. All over, a great value for the quality and location ($ 11). My husbands pepperoni pizza was also a nice surprise. The pepperoni had a bit of zing to it and the cheese and sauce seemed fresh in taste. We both had water and found it odd that both glasses came with zero ice.
Our server was pleasant and while the service wasn’t terrific, she sure was better than some service we’ve had in airports.
So, for the money and considering the location, I’d suggest trying it. They also advertise a dessert of tiny doughnuts with both chocolate and raspberry dipping sauces. That sounded delish, but we didn’t partake.

I don’t know who the owner or the chef is, but neither of them know what a Margherita pizza is.
Service wasn’t the fastest, and the pizza was mediocre

Not a bad place to stop in for a quick drink or food before a flight. We sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks and some fries, the bartender was quick and helpful which was nice. The fries are delicious, so try them.

I was traveling from Las Vegas back to the DFW area and had some time at lunch to grab a bit before boarding the plane. Our party was seated very quickly. and our waitress took our order very quickly since we were all on a schedule. The other two members in my party orders arrived very quickly, but not my pizza. I waited and waited but no pizza. Our waitress and the manager stopped by our table and apologized. They stated there was a mix-​up in the kitchen. The pizza finally arrived and was comp’d from our ticket. The brick-​oven pizza was very good, hot and filling.

All I can say is the quick bite to eat was satisfying, but menu is limited. They have other locations and the San Diego location has a larger menu selection. Price was good and service was good as well.
I’m giving it 3 stars and would give it 3.5, but there is no option for .5 star.

I just had the breakfast pizza vegetarian style without the bacon and instead opted for fresh spinach and it was actually incredible! I am so pleased with this place, it made my morning. The server Janet was very kind and really good at her job. The pizza was so tasty, even better than it looked, and it was a nice looking pizza. I love pizza but came in expecting the usual airport bleck but I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the food and the excellent service. Thanks Sammy’s for your airport food redemption, I’ll stop in anytime I fly out of LAS and stop into one of your regular locations when I get back into town.

Pretty good place to get some food while waiting for your flight. The restaurant is located in Terminal 1, D Gates. We had the New York Style pizza and it was delicious. The pizza had decent flavors and the buttery crisp crust was perfect. The downside was paying $ 10 for a domestic draft beer. Service was good with decent turnaround from the time food was ordered and presented at the table.

Love Love Love this pizza! Its sooooooooo amazing! And they make it fresh! If you are waiting at the airport, please stop in here where they have a woodburing oven and a great little bar! You can have an ice cold draft as you wait or have a sit down in their dinning area! They also have a little station off to the side where you can grab cold beverages and beer and wine!

Meh — I know this is airport food so I came in with low expectations, but Sammy’s was not able to meet even that level.
The kitchen was kind of slow. When my BBQ chicken pizza came out — I would say that it is a pre-​made crust that had mediocre toppings thrown on it and they burnt the pizza. All the chicken, cilantro, and onion was stacked in the middle of the pizza. I also sat next to the server station so I had the extra joy of hearing the servers complain to each other about how slow it was.
On the plus side my server was friendly while she was at the table and checked back twice. The Diet Coke had kicked and, instead of making me wait for them to change it, she grabbed me a bottle and charged me the fountain price — nice touch!
