comments:
In business since 1930(!), walking down the stairs and through the vestibule is like moving through a portal to another time. The decor is as I remember it when I first ate there in 1982 and the pizza is excellent. To my mind, it provides a window into what my father, growing up in Brooklyn, must have eaten.
every time I walk up to Sams I half expect to see that the owner sold the building and it’s now another cobble hill coffee shop. As a famous pizzaiola said to me over a meal here, once it’s gone, it’s gone, no one is making pizza like this anymore.
Get thee to Sams!
