Samosky's Homestyle Pizzeria ( Valley City, OH ) — Restaurant in Liverpool Township

On the recommendation of a number of friends who have eaten here at Samosky's, we drove 35 minutes from our home near Akron to have lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was worth the drive! Without a doubt!

My wife, daughter and I split two small pizzas and each had the salad bar. The salad bar was very good, not just a bowl of iceberg lettuce and some store-bought dressing. The salad was a delicious blend of iceberg and other greens as well as many different fresh vegetables and toppings. Everything was fresh and tasty.

The first pizza we had was pepperoni and extra cheese. It was delicious. The crust and the sauce were perfect and the pizza itself was not too salty as most pepperoni pizza tends to be. The crust was really good. I know I said that already, but it was really, really good. Also, I should mention how good the crust is. The crust is really good.

We also ordered the Smoked Caprese Pizza which was one of the best pizza's I've ever had in my life! Definitely top three! The sweet tang of the balsamic glaze is perfectly balanced with the sweet saltiness of the Applewood smoked bacon. And the crust; how can I not mention how good the crust is? It's fantastic.

We will definitely be back. The drive is so very much worth the time for this award winning pizza. And this is not some local newspaper popularity contest that they've won, it's an international competition attended by hundreds of restaurants from around the world. And it's right here in our back yard. Take advantage - make the drive - you...

This was my second time visiting and I was pretty disappointed…. I had an amazing experience my first time at samoskys. Great food and great, attentive service. This time was not the same. We ordered the Smokey hot sticks as an appetizer. It was good, but I did order ranch with it because I can’t eat red sauce (one of my favorite things about samoskys - is so many other options than red sauce) I had to go to the hostess stand to ask for the ranch….i waited looking for our waitress for over 5 minutes and finally decided to go up and get it myself. Our waitress was truly only at our table 5 times, yes FIVE times during our whole entire visit at the restaurant….i was a bit upset because she checked on her other tables around us so many times and I just kept watching her go back to check on them again and again but still not checking on us. Towards the end I was without water for over 10 minutes and asked for a refill when she came to bring us boxes (we hadn’t asked for boxes yet…we were soon yes…but I wanted water first because I wasn’t fully done eating I just needed water to continue) after this we asked for check so we could go home. I was just super disappointed in the service tonight. We will go back, the food is very good. I just hope to have the great service that came along with it my...

I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza and it was nothing like last time. This had little pepperonis that cupped up. I just asked for a regular pepperoni pizza, why the waiter decided to give me a different style of pepperoni is beyond me, because I have suspicions the pepperoni is what made me sick, plus he needed to be flagged down when I needed another pop. All the problems I had didn't dawn on me until after the fact which is why I left a 25% tip but it should have been 5%. The sauce and toppings started 3.5 inch away from the edge giving you a 3.5 inch crust. if they have to cheap out that badly it's probably the beginning of the end. The worst part was when I got home I had to run to the bathroom every half hour. I'm guessing they pull the pepperoni from the garbage because I saw another review that the pizza made them sick and I do believe that because their pizza made me sick too. This place needs the health inspector to look into it. I only ate half the pizza at the restaurant and took the other half home. I paid $25 with tip for half a pizza because the first half made me so sick, I threw the second half out. This is not award-winning pizza anymore, those days are gone and all good things come...
