SaMo Pizza Santa Monica Reviews
Honestly, most of the pizzas I had in LA were either too salty or just average. But SAMO PIZZA is the real deal. We had the BBQ chicken pizza and the pepperoni supreme, and all 10 of us ate until we were full. The taste was absolutely perfect—worth every bit of the time and money. Highly recommended!
I loveeee SaMo pizza so much! They are always so sweet and kind and efficient. The pizza rocks and it isn’t too expensive. Good quality ingredients and a very classic result. Hits the spot every time, and is always reliable, even as late as 3am. The one 18inch half pepperoni half cheese was about $25. It’s located in a little plaza with a parking lot so you don’t have to stress about street parking. Samo is the best!!!
This pizza is AMAZING and they're open super late. Highly recommend. Thin new York style pizza and the wings are super tasty.
Samo Pizza is the best Pizza place in Santa Monica Ca, 100# Recommended, excelente customer service, and variety food menu, Pizza is delicious, hot, and definitely the best; If you have plans to go visit Santa Monica Ca, you have to stop in Samo Pizza and get a pizza.
Service here was absolutely immaculate! The pizza is fresh, delicious, crispy!!! the best thing ive ever eaten!
Was looking for a good pizza joint and we happened to find SaMo. We greeted by very friendly staff. Small place but smelled great! XL pizza is no joke and it was AMAZING!! plus chkn wings. And for all you late night marijuanos, theyre open til 3am. Definitely my new fave pizza joint. Thank You SaMo!!!!!
The Chicken Tikka masala pizza is the bomb! Been looking for an Indian pizza in LA for a long time, luckily Samos is just around the corner! It was off the menu for some reason but the guy happily made one for me. Had others, pepperoni, BBQ chicken etc but the Tikka masala is highly recommended. Staff are super friendly. My go to spot!
Had an opportunity to try Samo’s vegan pizza last night for the first time and it was indeed a hit, we had veggie and my wife added vegan chicken on half of it. The crust had a great taste and the sauce and toppings had the right amount of seasoning. The owner was very friendly and kind we will definitely be back very very soon.
The food was absolutely delicious!! I have gestational diabetes, so finding foods that don’t spike my glucose can be a challenge. The caprese salad was fresh and tasty and the meatballs were delicious. We will definitely be back!!
SaMo pizza is my favorite pizza in Santa Monica. I’ve always appreciated the quality and the variety of options they have. The staff is always so hard working and you can tell they take pride in what they do. I truly never get sick of trying new pizza and my experience here. 10/10!! Make this your local pizza shop!!
They're great. They let you replace toppings you don't like without extra charges. Gluten free has an added charge but vegan cheese doesn't. Very delicious pizza. Very flavorful. And good staff. Even surprised me & brought my pizza to my car whilst I was waiting for it to be done. This was my first time being here.
Fantastic pizza! Lots of fresh toppings! The service was exceptional. The chef is so personable and friendly. We appreciate that it stays open late. I order regularly for my Co-workers and I who do the swing/graveyard shift in the ED- SM UCLA. I
This is honestly one of the best pizza spots I’ve tried in a long time. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the toppings taste super fresh. I ordered the classic Margherita and were amazing full of flavor, not too oily, and cooked just right. The staff is also really friendly and fast, and the store has a nice clean vibe. For the price and quality, this place is totally worth it.
My best friend and I came across this place a few months ago, and after we had a first bite of the delicious pizza, we automatically knew this wouldn’t be the last time coming here. The customer service is beyond immaculate, and the techno music playing in the background adds grooviness to the ambiance. The pizza is made from scratch, and you can literally taste the love that was poured into making the pizzas! Side note: the cookies are to die for
From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm hospitality and top-notch service. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The pizza was not only flavorful but also generously sized. Easily one of the top spots in the area for a satisfying pizza experience! Super amazing place. I’ll keep visiting.
The most amazing pizza with the sweetest owner! The owner was incredibly genuine and the pizza was the perfect balance between being thick and thin. It holds up well and doesn’t fall apart. The right amount of cheese and pepperoni. And the buffalo chicken tenders had a pleasant almost breaded taste without being spicy. Will definitely return again!
Excellent pizza place with reasonable price and good portion. The staff was kind and passionate in what he does. I ordered one 14” capricciosa pizza and one 14” Margherita pizza. Personally I like the rich creamy texture and mushroom toppings on the capricciosa (marinara, mozzarella, hams, mushroom, olives). Margherita pizza was better than some of the other pizza places I visited, but I wish the crust and dough could be a bit thinner, more cheese and wish there is fresh basil on the pizza. They have rewards program to earn points if ordering through their website. Added bonus if you are a regular!
The gentleman that was working during the graveyard shift (11pm-4am?) was polite, genuinely friendly, and balanced his model customer service priorities with efficient and skilled food preparation. Usually soliciting a business during such odd hours reveals its inadequacies but not here. Very satisfied with my purchase and the service. Well done!
Ordered online and it was so expensive that I thought I’d walk in and find white table clothes. Ordered at 8:30pm and set pickup for 9pm. Arrived at 9, was told it would be 6 minutes, but it took over 20. They forgot about my order entirely and weren’t apologetic at all. I would’ve appreciated directness and a refund. Do NOT order from here if you’re picking up from a function like I was. Food was fine, but I paid $95 after tip for 2 14in pizzas and dressed up frozen meatballs. Fine isn’t good enough for the price. Will definitely not be back.
