Biography

Biography: 
Sam’s Pizza Palace, family owned and operated since 1957, is one of Wildwood's most famous pizzerias and a favorite among locals and summer visitors. Located on the south side of 26th and the Boardwalk, Sam's serves up a simple menu of pizza (including plain, pepperoni and white broccoli) as well as birch beer with crushed ice.
 
Sam Sperra and his wife immigrated to Trenton, NJ in 1951 where Sam opened a “Lunch Truck” serving sandwiches as well as homemade soups. After a visit to Wildwood, Sam decided to open a steak sandwich shop on the Wildwood boardwalk at 24th Street. Before long, Sam purchased a small pizza oven and started selling pizzas to hungry boardwalk walkers. Sam's was soon so popular that he moved into a larger restaurant (where it is still located today) and focused on pizza-making. The rest is history.

A great traditional style pie that stands the test of time and Dave Portnoy! This slice is a winner and how it fails to be a contender each year is simply mind boggling!

Any pizza review that has Sam’s out of the Top 5 is probably inherently flawed. I understand personal preference comes into play, but I spent decades living & working on the Boardwalk and I’ve tried them all, and Sam’s or Mack’s should always the top of any list.

If you don't like it, you're a jealous hater. It's easily the best and the long lines (even in the dead of winter) prove that.

Great pizza. The sauce and cheese ratio is on point. The crust is very tasteful..
