Sam and Louie's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

I ordered one of the specialty pizzas but requested 1/2 black olives and 1/2 mushroom with banana peppers on both sides. I ended up getting a pizza doused in black olives all over and mushrooms everywhere and 1/2 banana peppers. They had a QR code that asked for feedback. This is where it goes from bad to worse I was charged $36 for the 12 inch pizza. For what I got this was not worth it and I was overcharged for the way they ended up putting the ingredients into the system. I gave them feedback as they requested and was told by the manager that the cashier repeated the order to me and that is what they gave us. That is not what happened at all. I had to repeat my order several times asking the cashier to correct what she had repeated back to me. They said I ordered extra black olives and extra mushrooms on 1/2 and the banana peppers on both. Even if I did order that, it's not what they served me. How the heck did black olives appear all over the pizza?? This place clearly does not care about repeat business or what feedback you give them. I was upset with the quality of the pizza and what I ordered versus what I received but I was appalled at the response of the survey. What arrogance and horrible way to treat your customers. This is what truly made me say I will not be back. At a minimum I expected a sorry, please let us make this right. Guess what, that is not what you get from this place. They just expect you to take whatever they decided to put into the computer and then make something even completely different then that. What a joke of management and why do you ask for feedback if you belittle the customer when they...

Sam & Louie’s Pizza is by FAR . . . the BEST PIZZA in Corpus Christi & probably even the ENTIRE Coastal Bend !! SERVICE : Absolutely First Class Customer Service & very welcoming & nice staff that operate the restaurant & front counter. ATMOSPHERE : This is the Perfect Sized “Dine In”, place with a very cozy & Family Owned & operated type feel. Each table includes the elevated style pizza tray rack, to make room for everyone’s plates & sodas. They even have shaded outdoor seating, as you enter the restaurant. Parking is so super easy with a HUGE parking lot. PIZZA QUALITY : I have sooo much to say about their PIZZA ! First, the Crust is crispy with their homemade in-house dough & “Brick Oven” toasted style pizza edges is perfectly on point !! Every bite is delicious with the consistency of how well each pizza is baked. Secondly, their Pizza Sauce is absolutely amazing, bursting with a very authentic blend of Italian spices, herbs & fresh tomatoes style of flavor as part of their family recipe !! And last, but not least, the Toppings. They have a large selection of very fresh toppings. My personal favorite, is the pepperoni. This style of pepperoni is the smaller version with curled up crispy toasted edges, like little miniature pepperoni bowls, once the pizza is cooked & served. All the other meats selections, including meatballs & their vegetable choices are all extremely fresh & plentiful.

I WILL most definitely be back in Corpus Christi, coming from Austin, during the Thanksgiving & Christmas Holidays, when I’m in town, visiting & staying with my extended family.

One VERY SATISFIED Customer & can’t wait to be...

A week has passed since we placed our order, and I'm just now sitting down to write this review. First, let me share a bit of background. My girlfriend and I made the move from Tennessee to this corner of Texas back in February.

She, a New York native, and I, having met in Tennessee, have spent plenty of time exploring pizza shops up and down New York--from Buffalo to the heart of the big city. Over the years, we've indulged in the kind of pizza that feels like a warm embrace from a beloved mom-and-pop shop.

Since relocating here, we've sampled a handful of local pizza joints. A couple were okay-good enough to satisfy a craving when it hit. But last week, after being disappointed by most of the options in South Texas, my girlfriend suggested we give one more place a try.

That's when we found S&L. We ordered online, and with that first bite, we knew: we had found our spot in Corpus Christi. The sauce-oh, the sauce--was the revelation.

While not as sweet as some of the Western New York styles, it's undeniably the closest and best we've found here. The crust is just right, not too doughy, and as Dave Portnoy might say, there's minimal "flop" when you hold a slice out.

For anyone undecided, I hope this review points you in the right direction. From now on, this is our go-to pizza place. And if you give it a try, I believe it will...
