★★★★★ 5.0 Stephanie (Rinoa) · Feb 2026

First time visiting. We had cheese sticks with marinara, a small salad and split an Italian beef calzone (pictured)- it was gigantic! We loved all the food. The calzone was packed with cheese and Italian beef. The marinara was realllly good, we paired it with everything. We definitely will get food here again. The service was nice, the waitresses were understaffed but we're resilient with the Friday night crowd. Our waitress was so nice and helpful with my questions. I gave the atmosphere 3 star because the same reason as other restraunts in this area, the interior of this place is extremely dated, old and dusty. It needs some tlc.

We ordered for the first time on super bowl Sunday. One pizza and two Italian beef calzones. Everything was great! Hot and fresh. I was excited that I found a new favorite for my family (we are new to the area). We ordered the exact same items about a month later and the calzones were horrible. The meat was chewy and dry. I was honestly saddened and couldn't figure out why. Maybe the meat was leftover? There was barely any cheese on both of them and both calzones were just bad. We threw most of both of them away. For the price of each calzone and order in general (over $60) I will not order from them again. Quality should be consistent. Service was okay. The atmosphere, we have never eaten in, however, upon entering both times to pick up our order I did notice the place needs a major upgr

Ordered 6 large pizzas and a pasta dish for a party and they arrived on time and fresh. Ordering was easy and quick. Service was friendly.

For a while since moving to Rockford from Chicago I was looking for an Italian restaurant especially thin crust pizza. After trying a few in Rockford I found a gem, Sam’s pizza hits the spot every time when I am either having a pizza craving or I want something to remind of home. Every time I go to Sam’s with my family we are treated with politeness, they even know our name and we for the most part stick to a routine and the waitress knows that routine. We have tried some of the dinners and sandwiches on the menu and they don’t disappoint but the pizza is the star. Great hot fresh food for the price and a nice clean atmosphere and family friendly staff. I highly recommend anyone if they are craving thin crust pizza, calzone or deep dish to give them a try. I have been a loyal customer for

If I could give no stars I would! I ordered two pizzas and a salad yesterday and a few hours later my two year old, four year old and 3 others and myself all got food poisoning. My kid's have been throwing up all day. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! So glad I spent 68 dollars for all of us to get extremely sick from it. Never again will I eat here 🤢 Also, they called me 3-4 time's when they were trying to deliver my food because the boss was yelling at the delivery driver and nobody cared enough to listen to my address when I repeated it multiple time's.
