SamiJo's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Jefferson

Okay, so I've been meaning to do a review on this place. So my fiance, his mom, and I went to SamiJo's Pizzeria I wanna say in Oct. So yeah I am late on this review. Anyways, we've been wanting to try this place out. And we were happy that we did! I believe it's fairly new. It was new for us. The pictures I will be posting are from 3 different times we were there. It was so good we actually went back like 3 times in one week. And the owners and staff were so welcoming and greeted us when we walked in. The ordering is different from other places I've been to. You pick where you want to sit. Menus are on the tables. And when you're ready you go to the register and order. Which is so different! It's pretty cool they do that. And one is when my daughter came to visit us. She and her boyfriend moved back in August. They now live in St Paul, MN. So we took her there and she couldn't get over how good the pizza was! She can eat a lot and not gain weight. My daughter and fiance ate that pizza like there was no tomorrow. She said it's better than Gus Pizza which is saying something. I was like you just didn't say that lol. She did. It's cool how now they know us when we go and eat there. And the gentleman always asks how my daughter is doing. The reason their pizza is so good it's because of the crust. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We overheard a girl saying that her boyfriend is from New York. And misses the pizzas there. They went there before and he said that the pizza is close to how they make them in New York. I highly recommend going there and try their pizzas and other foods on the menu. We say we're going to try something else. But the pizza is so good. So like 3 years ago I had COVID when it was going around. I still don't have my scent of restaurant food in general and anything else. So I can't tell you if it smells good or not. My daughter and fiance said that it smells great. Be safe...

First time in SamiJo’s about a month ago on a Tuesday at supper time. They had a few take out orders and walking customers while I was there. You walk in and order at the front counter so grab a laminated menu or a trifold 8 1/2 x 11” menu.

They do serve pizza by the slice all day but at this time of night there won’t be many types to choose from. There are pizza specials, and they also have wings, a couple of sandwiches, and salads. Get your own bottle of refreshment out of the cooler or have a 6oz refillable glass from the soda fountain.

You then seat yourself, grab your own plate, napkin, silverware, and pizza seasonings. For house made dough and hand made pizzas it did take a while, but the electric pizza ovens aren’t 900°.

My root beer helped me cool off on a hot day until the pizza came. My 14” meat loves was a couple of bucks more than I would have expected it it was packed with meat. Being a Wisconsinite I would have loved more cheese but it was an accent to the toppings, not the main event. The meat was augmented by red pepper flakes to kick up the heat to my liking.

While hot, the crust stood up to the toppings but when cooled we had some flop—to be expected from the oven cooking.

The decor has a retro vibe and when there were more than 10 people inside it was a bit loud for a single patron. But groups were having fun and enjoying the different type of restaurant for Jefferson.

I’ll be back to take an adventure with some of their...

When I moved to Jefferson, I didn't know anything about the town as far as where to go for good food. I was gifted a gift certificate for SamiJo's and fell in love immediately. I have had the Philly, Meat lover's, and Chicken Bacon Ranch pizzas and all were amazing. My kids love the pizzas from here as well. I love that I can place an order online and still have the option to pay at the store. You get a small discount if you pay cash as well. I have yet to dine in, but I'm sure I will eventually. SamiJo's has become my all time favorite pizza place and since I only live a couple of blocks away, I will be ordering way more than I should. Very happy to have found this little amazing place. Keep up...
