Authentic ny pizza

by CSMobileUser

Eddie and Sams has the most authentic ny pizza around. It IS all about the water and any REAL new yorker knows this. They have everything including ,my favorite, white and Sicilian. Definately recommend

I agree.

by Lylanickayla

This place is not good. Its not about the water.. because if that was the case you could not find any good pizza here! Seriously what do you do fly it in from the hudson? Sure! I can prove to everyone its not the water because there is good pizza in Florida.

Try BEST NY PIZZA in Carrollwood. This place is the best! It's amazing and it really is true NY pizza.. not "NY Style" (which mean imatation) but true NY Pizza!

You can visit their website which has all the informatiom you will need to experience the best! This is my favorite place ever! There website is simply BestNewYorkPizza

• Pros: None really
• Cons: Everthing. There food and Service is terrible! Yuck!

avoid totally

by Paulgoddard

they say they use NY water, what a marketing hoax! ! water weighs too much to ship from NY. who would want to use nasty NY water anyway??? I would rather have clean bottled or filtered water. NY Water does not make the pizza taste good or bad. it is the ingredients. Think about it, how many bad pizza places are in NYC anyway?? right?? has nothing to do with the water.

Anyway, i tried the food, survived, barely. felt nausea afterwards. place was so dirty, too. Much better places in tampa. i'll stick with Sally Oneils or NYPD Pizza. both are much better.

• Pros: close to my work. thats it
• Cons: dirty restaurant, fake advertising(NY water), food quality, service

Besides their signature New-York style pizza, they offer sandwiches, salads and other Italian treats.

NYC feel in downtown Tampa

by nashvegas_vols

Growing up in the South and until I lived in Queens for 5 years I thought nothing could top Pizza Hut. How wrong! And when I moved back here I thought Id never get that one-of-a-kind New York slice without hoping a plane to the Big Apple. Until I found Eddie and Sams. Its the real deal. Get a slice or calzone, cram into the hot and loud place at lunch and youll swear youre on the Lower East side. That is until you try to hail a cab without making a phone call first. Ive had better meatball sandwiches, but this is THE place for real NY pizza.

• Cons: Dinner or late-night, fugetaboutit

Skyscrapers on the wall

by umpire20

Lots of pictures of New York City can be found at this pizza oasis in the middle of Downtown Tampa. It is for good reason. This pizza is as close to Midtown New York City as you can get. Transplanted folks from the Big Apple needing to rediscover their roots should head to Eddie & Sams. Don't know if it is true or not but I heard the quality is due to the fact that they import their water from NYC. People in NYC actually dring water from their faucets. They also have snow and dirty streets!

Best Pizza in Tampa Bay

by damadman

Eddie and Sam's is by far the best pizza in Tampa Bay. I have been to a lot of pizza places in Tampa, and none of them come close to this place. Their specialty is NY style pizza, but they have sicilian, white pizza, calzones, stromboli, etc.

• Pros: Fast, Friendly, Great Food
• Cons: Small Location

Best Pizza this side of NYC.

by zootube

I dare you to try this pizza and say it is not the best pizza in the Tampa Bay area and possible ever. Try it any way u want. Plus you can get 2 slices and a drink for $5. But dont stop at pizza. This place doesnt make anything that is not appealing to your tastebuds. I recommend the cheese steak, meatball, turkey club subs, Chicken Parm roll, Ziti, any pasta dish for that matter and fantasic wings too. My personal Fav is Brocolli on white sause pizza. They take brocolli saute in olive oil and garlic on a white sause pizza topped with moza cheese. Staff is friendly from head cook Josh, or Matt, Hank, Mike and guys behind the counter. Great Eats at a good price.

• Pros: Food, Fun, Fantastic

Pizza for a Pizza Lover

by peterluger

Having relocated to Tampa from NY a number of years ago, It is an unbelievable relief to find such an authentic pizzareia. The staff is friendly and the food is GREAT.

Absolutely Fantastic!

by pshovlin

By far the best pizza in Florida. I'm from the Northeast and I know good pizza. I drive from St. Petersburg to downtown Tampa just to have their pizza. I also recommend the antipasta and the chicken parm sandwich.

• Pros: Food, Service, Price
