THE BEST PIZZA IN FLORIDA! I'm a pizza snob and have eaten everywhere of everywhere that anyone around here recommends. Eddie & Sam's is a Top 3 Pie I've had ANYWHERE! The toppings are fresh and large portions. The sauce is to die for. The flop and char to the crust are absolutely perfect. I've had 6 different kinds and they're all ELITE but my favorite is the BBQ Chicken. The Restaraunt has quick self serve ipad ordering stations. They have plenty of slices ready to serve and ample seating. I HIGHLY Recommend you try it out next time you're in Downtown Tampa.

Eddie and Sam's pretty much is the closest you'll get to nyc pizza in downtown Tampa. The slice is a good size for $4.21 after taxes. I'm from Queens and I've heard about NY water making pizza dough taste better but I've also had Goodfellas in Orlando and they never made that a selling point. Anyway I had it yesterday and the sauce wasn't as good as last week but I ate my slice. Overall it's the closest you'll get to a NYC slice in this area. They are closed on Tuesday FYI. I'm probably going to try their white slice soon and see how that hits. Decent pizza and decent prices-get a slice from Eddie and Sam's.

Not bad 7.3 out of 10 Pizza was well priced and good on flavor. Crispy crust with almost no flop. It was a little on the greasy side for my taste but not the worst I've seen... You order at a kiosk so service is pretty straight forward don't have to wait long we order a 14 inch lasagna and half pep- and took a walk around the block it was ready when we got back... the vibe is basic, nothing fancy, basically the kitchen and then a lot of seating. It looks like there's only one bathroom and it's not the cleanest. If you're looking for "knock you Sox" off pizza this isn't it to me... but it's solid and worth grabbing a slice if you're walking by

I'm from up north where we have the best pizza. I'm very critical when it comes to pizza. I must say that Eddie & Sam's pizza make me feel like I'm back up north. The size of the pizza, the combinations, the diversity of options, the whole vibe is on point. I wish they had multiple joints in Tampa. I don't frequent downtown but when I'm there Eddie & Sam's calls my attention. I need to go back just to try the different slices that I haven't tasted yet.

Quick and delicious! One of if not the best pizza places around! They advertise that they use water from New York to help make it authentic! However you may take that, it's delicious and a staple around here! Definitely a must if you're in the area! My favorite is the Tomato, basil, garlic and olive oil pizza, the tomato are flavorful and with it all together it is sooooo tasty! Service is pretty quick and there's a parking lot right across the street!

When you have a meeting and ordered 7 pizza pies - Supreme, 2 Pepperoni, Plain, Buffalo Chicken, BbQ Chicken/ Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Hawaiian GF. The pizzas were a HUGE hit! Slices are bigger than your face and each of us had atleast two slices a piece. Delivery was on time and super friendly. So if you can't make it to the location, order online and get it fast, hot and fresh!

Eddie & Sam's is where I go when I need pizza that means business. The Buffalo chicken pizza? A win every time. The classic cheese? Simple, perfect, and hits like a hug from your carb-loving best friend. The vibe is exactly what a pizza joint should be--no frills, just good energy, and better pizza. You can grab a seat or stand at the counter like you're in NYC. Either way, you're leaving happy and probably with a napkin full of crumbs. If you're in Tampa and craving a proper slice, this is your spot. Five stars, zero regrets.

Pizza is my THING!! Of course! Every time I get the chance to try a new pizza place I will take it! My sister was turning 36 and she just wanted to go have pizza! Mind you we are both New Yorkers of course, we know good pizza when we taste it! I did my research here on Yelp as well as IG and Google reviews, I came across Eddie And Sam's N.Y Pizza. Automatically got sold by the pictures and what I read! Its location is everything for those in Downtown Tampa! I mean employees, residents, tourists etc... it's in a corner where driving by you cannot miss it at all! Walking wise you can't miss either! Parking... well it's better to either Uber/lyft, walk or find parking in another area. The area located is very hard to find parking or you have the choice to park for a "set price" approximately $25.00... (all day) That's something to think about. It's very spacious, well decorated, has tables and stools! You have the ability to pick up, order and eat while you walk, sit at a table or a stool! There are tables even outside which you can enjoy your pie/slice depending on the weather! I loved the fact you can either visit solo, couple, date, hangout with friends and even with family! It's the place to either hangout early as of 11am or as late as it closes. Each employee was very attentive. The wait, lines and serving went ratherly quick. My big downer was... we sat on the table in the back near the bathrooms... Sadly the bathroom needs lots of care! Each time the doors opened the smell that came out was not pleasant! Hey, in my defense I know bathrooms don't smell like "roses" BUT you can tell when a bathroom is clean, maintain and kept up to date! It simply looked like a gastation bathroom (which you normally use in a no option situation.) The pizza! Deserves a 5/5! It was warm, tasty! And the size is WORTH IT! Definitely New York Style! The employees, location, and food get 5/5. The bathroom on the other hand gets a 0/5.

Solid pizza spot in downtown Tampa. We got the 14 inch meat lovers pizza $18. We loved the toppings, the dough was good but not amazing but the portion and taste were overall good. Probably the best in DT imho. Parking in DT is always a mission but we went on a Sunday and found a spot real close. Service was fast and friendly, me and my weirdough partner were chowing down in minutes.

Just outstanding and exactly what we needed before we depart on our cruise tomorrow. After waking up at 3 am for an early flight to Tampa we needed substance but not a lot of effort. Several folks at our hotel recommended this pizza spot and we are so glad that we listened. Highly recommend. Our belly's are full and we are very happy. Thank you for an awesome meal and we will definitely have it again when we return to town.
