Been coming here since I could chew. Even after we moved, any time we visit Astoria? Its a must we stop at Samaria. You’re not getting any better tasting pizza anywhere else, or a bigger portion size than the slices they give. Prices are still extremely affordable, pizza is always, always delicious, pepperoni rolls a big hit, its the best. Family owned, and listen, it does get overwhelming, they been through a lot as a family and as a business but the passion and grit is there and its so admirable, adds to the experience and the taste, truly. Maria (Zambia I think her real name) is a community person and shes kind and hard working. One of the very few only wo(man) manning the oven, she deserves grace and kindness. And special shout out to her right hand man, Primo!!! He has been with her foreverr!!!Equally as admirable for all his hard work and dedication to delivering and making such delicious pizza!...

To top it off that comes with an attitude. It really is infuriating. You see me sitting there, my food is ready, why don't you get my attention instead of letting me sit there an extra five or ten minutes - in plain sight - and then give me an attitude when I check to see what's taking so long? I'm not deaf - this is the only place I've been to with...
