Sam's Pizza Palace, Wildwood, New Jersey Restaurant Details

Food:

Best pizza around...period.

Food:

Best pizza ever! Also who cares if they dont have parm cheese. There is cheese on it already.

Food:

I'm from NJ/NY so I've tried plenty of great pizzas. This place is hands down the GREATEST pizza I have ever tasted. I love Sam's!!!

Food:

When they are at their best, they make the best pizza I ever tasted. But CONSISTENCY can be an issue. I suspect this might have something to do with the TIME OF DAY and getting their oven temperature just right.

WHEN I GO THERE AROUND DINNER TIME, THE PIZZA IS A 5-STAR DREAM. Crust: cooked to a perfect crisp and the slice will lay firm and horizontal if you hold it out in front of you. Yet this is not a thin crust-style pizza. The crust is multi-textured, starting with a little crunch followed by satisfying chewiness. The flavor is subtly natural and delightful - a nice mix of tomato sweetness and a hint of salt, along with heartiness maintained by the loose flour and slight char from the crust's bottom. (Some critics bash this pizza for not having enough flavor, but I suspect they are the same people you always see reaching for the salt shaker before they've even tasted their dish.)

BUT WHEN I'VE BEEN THERE EARLY IN THE DAY the pizza has been limp, undercooked, and doughey with cheese that breaks off in clumps. An utter disappointment. Nothing like the pizza I had the night before.

IF you go there a little deeper into the day I am confident you will receive the 5-star product described above. And if there is a line outside the door, don't be discouraged. The pizza is worth the wait and the line usually doesn't take all that long to move.

Food:

Best pizza on the boardwalk (maybe of the entire Jersey shore). Never had a bad slice. My wife and I visit here at least once on every trip to the shore...it's now tradition. Service is very fast and friendly.
