Sami's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Buffet

Very comfortable place to be. My men from our Tres Dias Reunion Group meet here once a month to enjoy the food, the fellowship, and atmosphere. Great place to be if you’re hungry! Prices are fair and service is great!

From the second you walk in the door and get the first sniff of deliciousness, until the first bite hits the tongue 🧑‍🍳 the pizza 🍕was absolutely chefs kiss delicious!!! The owner was super friendly on the phone and the meal was delicious! We’d definitely come back if we were in the area from Illinois again!

Don't think of it as a pizza buffet, but as experiencing new flavors and crusts without buying one of each kind of pizza. Pizza sauce is amazing, meatballs are delicious, salad bar is fresh. Sami is definitely an amazing person, checking on the health of one of his regulars as soon as he saw them. Will definitely go back next time in town. It's definitely a one man show there, but he pulls it off with ease. Bathroom was clean too.

Sitting here as I’m finishing my pizza slice I write this review. Coming in we didn’t know what to expect. At first glance we were confused. Plates and drink station at the far side followed a combination of various delicious, authentic looking pizza. Yea please! 1000/10 recommend. Coming from out of town to find a place to eat is always an unknown. But now we KNOW Sami’s is THE place we will be coming to when we come to town.

Place smelled good. I love the open pizza brick oven. Pizza tasted great. Real fresh. We got a cheese and meat lovers. Hearted it on my map to return next time we are in the area.

I've been all over the eastern United States and have ate pizza at a minimum of 60 different places and Sami's is hands down the tastiest, freshest, authentic pizza I have ever had the pleasure of eating. This will be my forever "go-to" spot for pizza.

We had a great meal at Sami’s! We ordered 4 pizzas: a personal white sauce with pepperoni, a large supreme, a large pesto veggie, and a large barbecue chicken. It only took 25 minutes for them all to finish after we ordered. It’s cool to see the brick oven in the restaurant. We’d order pizza from here again!

Do not judge this place by its exterior, all of the fresh made pizzas were awesome, and made with house-made dough that is hand tossed, and extremely flavorful and foldable (I'm originally from New York and that's a sign of a good pizza). They have a fantastic buffet, or you can order off the menu. The owner is warm and welcoming and clearly appreciative and focused on all his customers. Please support this local, family-owned business, you will NOT be disappointed!

Daughter wanted spaghetti. Found this place on yelp and was so pleased. Stumbled on a lunch buffet. All the slices were awesome. Thin & crispy crust and great combinations plus pasta bar and salad. We'll def return. Great service as well!!

The best brick oven pizza in town! We're from New Jersey and we always look for a pizza that reminds us of home. I'd say this is 100% self serving. Be prepared to pick a seat, grab a plate , serve yourself and help clean up. It's part of the reason I really enjoy the place. It's okay to pitch in and be considerate of others. The pizza was delicious and always fresh and replaced with a bubly, steaming fresh pie. The meatballs and spaghetti were just like home cooked. The place is warm , family friendly and plays jazz music.

Dined in and waited over an hour for a pizza. The restaurant wasn't even busy. Ended up leaving due to the wait.

The pizza is so good! Probably my favorite in town. The sauce is sweet and has so much flavor. The crust is soo good and the pizza is not greasy. He has a buffet, salad bar and pasta bar. Its a small local place and the owner is the sweetest. If you want some delicous brick oven pizza go here and you will be satisfied!!!

BLUF--it is a small, family owned business and they are there working. I'm sure that I never saw Sami take a break from making pizza and calzones the entire time. It is all on him. It does feel rather warm during summer because of the oven but they have fans to try to circulate the air which was on 61 degrees. Nothing fancy about the interior or exterior. The buffet had 3-4 pizzas at a time but when it's is busy I think it is hard forSami to keep up for the buffet and individual orders. I waited quite a while for my calzone and it was very busy Saturday early evening. It wasn't bad but it wasn't a favorite for me or my kids. They had the buffet along with my husband. I didn't like the idea of having to touch the trash can (street type) to throw away plates for my kid. Calzone wasn't bad but I would prefer to not have the seasoning on top and a tad softer crust. They certainly have a fairly good customer base though because it was continuous traffic in and out.

It's a nice small brick oven pizza place. Had several ready to grab a quick slice. Also had various other Italian food. Pizza was good. Sauce was lacking a bit of flavor. Had better. But was looking for a quiet mama/papa kind of place after a long day of futbol

The pizza was below average and the buffet was very unappetizing. Went due to reviews but it was the epitome a place that needs a rescue of some sort. If you only order delivery you should visit the store and SEE where your food is prepared. Fuel NOT food.

They've been open 7 years and I've always wanted to, (but sorry to myself i found out)I have never been until tonight. My husband and I went tonight and let me tell you, we did not leave hungry at all! Everything up there was absolutely delicious, from the pizza to the salad bar to the meatballs!!! The crust was a delicious thin, crusty piece of just yumminess. The young lady was super sweet and the owner was nice as can be. Everything was fresh, from dough to cucumbers. It was a small, quiet atmosphere so you could enjoy it. It was clean, and the price was most definitely worth every penny! If you haven't been, I recommend trying it at least once, but I know you will be back just like we will be!

Outstanding and friendly service also exceptional pizza with their authentic brick oven and plenty of side items all in one ridiculous low price. Come early and often!! Yum Yum!!

My husband and I tried Sami's brick oven pizzeria for the first time today. So happy we did.! From the moment we entered the restaurant we were made to feel very welcome. We both had the buffet and the food was amazing all the quality ingredients, especially in the pizza fresh basil, amazing cheeses, and sauces to tantalize your taste buds. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality.

Best pizza I've ever had! We ordered the large Italian white pizza extra crispy and two drinks and with tip it was $41 - this is adult pizza. He also fed a Romanian family at no cost. It was a really beautiful thing to witness. Great staff they all couldn't be nicer, and the place couldn't be cuter! Great Music, thank you Sami!!

First time in this pizza place it turned out to be a buffet or you could order whole pizza. If you wanted to the pizza that was on the buffet had time dates written down on posting notes so you know when the pizza was made. I decide to go with the buffet salad wasn't too bad. Seemed pretty fresh pizza with nothing to ride home about Dave would probably raided a 4.6 the rest of the pasta bar the meatballs look like they've been there for a couple years. I watched him pour extra sauce/water on them do not recommend.

THIS is the best pizza in town, the pizza is amazing but simple. Ingredients must be fresh because I never feel bad like I usually do when I eat pizza! I recommend getting the white cheese pizza and pepperoni first. I can tell the owner and or chef has poured love into every slice. Despite the wonderful reviews this restaurant isn't always too busy and is mostly quiet with good music and atmosphere, a great place for a date! With great prices and reviews how could you not give Sami's a try? Ps please bring cash to help show extra love for the hard work shown here!

Sami thank you! The White pizza was the bom and amazing! Cheers from Tullahoma Love the Lopez Family! Mangiare!

Delicious, hot, and fresh pizza and friendly staff at a reasonable price! Would definitely recommend

food is definitely a 10/10, I will become a regular after this. The service was so nice and he was running everything by himself. not to mention the jazz music in the background, absolutely love the ambiance. would recommend.

Very good! Sami makes the best pizza in town. Classy environment with smooth jazz. Quick and cheap.

Terrible my spaghetti was under cooked and hard pizza Terrible I would give it a 0 if I could

Lived in the Boro for 3 years... I have driven by this place 100 times and never gone in. I ordered take out tonight from Sami's and it is hands down the best pizza I have had in TN since we moved here We ordered a veggie pizza, garlic knots, and a salad. Pizza was awesome! Crust was crispy. Not too much sauce. Not stingy on the toppings. The garlic knots and salad was great, too. Wasn't cheap... but it was worth it... Don't think about it... just try it and decide for your self if it's the best in town!

The pepperoni pizza, Sicilian style crust, was delicious. Stone oven fired with plenty of mozzarella cheese and copious amounts of pepperonis sprinkled with a mixture of seasonings made for a memorable eating experience. The medium size pizza here is as large as most chain-store large pizzas. I can't speak for the buffet, but as I waited for my pizza to bake, the diners were making numerous trips to fill their plates. My guess is the buffet selections were equal to my pizza. I'll definitely be back.

Nice big parking lot! I ordered to-go the meat lovers on regular crust and the supreme Sicilian style, which had a thick crust, rubbed with salt and seasoning. Both pizzas had a good amount of toppings and tasted great. The service was very fast and friendly. It was $61 for the two pizzas and tax and before a tip, so not something we can splurge on regularly, but this place was worth trying!

This is the best pizza I've eaten in the Boro. The ambiance is amazing. Flickering lights and relaxed cafe music evoke a laid back experience found only in bistros across Europe or in authentic Italian neighborhoods in the U.S. The buffet is a great introduction to all the wood fired pies Sami cranks out and keeps a-coming. This is not a buffet that leaves you waiting on pies. This wood fired style pizza and combination of toppings is a hidden gem in Murfreesboro and I hope it continues to be lauded. This was my first time here and won't be my last! Highly recommend, and quite frankly, we're lucky we have a place like this in the Boro!!!

Now I've been to Sami's a number of times and my first review of the place was not so great. But six months later Sami wrote me and asked me to come back and try again, and as they say the rest is history. I'm a fan of the Pepperoni and how he adds a light sprinkle of red chili peppers to the pie. I HIGHLY recommend the buffet...you get to try everything and if there is a slide of pie you are looking for...Sami will hook you up. The reason for this review...when I was there last week enjoying the pasta and pie buffet a customer came in and asked questions about the buffet. Seems the customer was hesitant and concerned about his wife (who was in the car) enjoying the buffet too, and it looked to me he was probably going to leave. Many restaurant owners would have let the customer walk out and moved on, but not Sami. He offered the customer a 2-1 buffet if he would bring his wife in to try the buffet!!! I always try to support small businesses...and I am a huge fan of Sami's not only for his food, but for the incredible way he treats his customers!

I really want to give this place 5 stars... but I just cannot. The owner is great and the pizza and salad bar are fresh. It's just not my favorite type of pizza. It'll do in a pinch but it's far from excellent.

Nice place! Food selections are good and very tasty! The pizza is a true brick oven pie that every pizza lover seeks. Salad bar is very nice, fresh, and plenty of selections. It's a bit warmer in the returns than what's comfortable. Maybe because of the oven. However, I'm not that big of a guy so, I can only imagine how plus size patrons feel.

Just got home from our first trip to Sami's...definitely won't be our last. We tried the buffet and everything on it was delicious. Sami's will definitely make our list of favorite places to eat.

Amazing pizza! I've eat here twice. The first time we had one white pizza and one sausage and pepperoni. I couldn't stop eating lol. No leftovers. The second time we got a stuffed white pizza. I loved the idea and the amount of flavor in the crust. Would recommend getting something with more toppings if you want stuffed tho. Still loved the stuffed white. Next time I'm going to get some more of that delicious red sauce tho! The couple that owns the place work very hard at this place and are really nice people.

Definitely impressed with this little spot! We walked in at 2:30p on a Sunday and I saw they closed at 3p. Buffet is set out, the restaurant only had 1-2 other tables. I got nervous, should we leave since they're about to close? Has this pizza been out for a while? Right away, the owner greets us and starts asking what kind of pizza we like while throwing some dough around and getting fresh pies started! Ok, I'm in! We had a party of 4 adults and 3 kids and had a great lunch! The pizza was really good, very fresh (even the stuff that was there when we walked in). And of course the service. Couldn't believe he threw on extra pizzas for us that close to closing time. Definitely recommended, for Sunday buffet especially!

My husband and I wanted to get some good wood fire pizza here in Murfressboro and we found Sami's; the surprise was that they have a buffet style pizza plus other dishes and salad on their bar; everything tasted fresh and delicious; we are glad we found this place; you won't be disappointed.

This place was awesome! They even made us a gluten free pizza to go with the buffet. $14.99 gets you pizza, pasta, salad, drink from the buffet.

Sami's is, hands down, the best pizza in middle TN! Great food, great atmosphere and great service! One of my family's favorite go to spots. We are in the service industry and this place does it right!

Solid pizza. Never heard of this place and have no occasion to drive to the location. My father and I gave it a try and it worked out well. We got our pizza to go and the four people that ate it were in agreement that they liked the pizza. A little pricey, but hey, all prices are higher now. Side note, the owner made our pizza's and he was a very cool dude.

wow, great food, excellent selection & very very tasty, yum yum. the owner opperator is a great guy treats you like family. a fantastic ambiance, family orientated. ample parking, too!

Meatsa Calzones this time and again it's phenomenal, crust is super crispy and the Spices are totally on point . A small, quaint, peaceful place, perfect for that quality time out to dinner with that special someone in your life. Bonapait my friends

The food was delicious & I liked the vibe in the room. Sami is serious about his pizzas!

Great pizza! Our whole study group enjoyed our meal. The pizza was wonderful and the salted bar was fine.

Was excited to try a local pizza spot in the Boro, but was very disappointed. Apparently their practice is to have a cheese pizza ready to go and whatever you order for toppings, they just throw those on top and heat it up in the oven. I've never seen Pepperonis undercooked just set on top of a pizza and fall off when you pick up a slice. Also since the toppings have little flavor, they sprinkle a generous amount of Italian seasoning on top of the pizza as well to give it some flavor. I do not recommend and you'll have much better experience at a local sports bar.

We visited Sami's for the first time this evening. We're a family of 3, but our toddler had eaten earlier so just my husband and me ate. When we entered the restaurant, there was a line of patrons waiting to order or pick up food - good sign. After waiting in line very briefly, we were directed to go ahead and eat from the buffet and pay when we left. We chose some slices and went to find a table. The good news was that the restaurant was busy, but the bad news was that the staff hadn't turned over the dirty tables. My husband ended up busing our table and wiping it down for us. We ate pepperoni, pepperoni & sausage, and the white pizzas along with marinara meatballs and another type of meatball, all from the buffet. The food was delicious! I wasn't a big fan of the pizza crust, but the sauce, cheese, and meats were very tasty. Another note: we're under a heat advisory right now, and there didn't seem to be any A/C running. If it was running, it was having a particularly difficult time keeping up. We were pretty warm but not sweaty. Sami and the young woman at the register were very nice and made sure to check on us anytime we approached the food bar. There were salads and pastas available, but we didn't try them. All in all, we decided we'd return later to give them another try indoors but order to-go until September when the steamy weather subsides. Happy to have place to go for high quality pizza in Murfreesboro! Two adult buffet meals and one soda came to about $33.

We ended up getting a free pizza after the kitchen staff forgot to make our order. They apologized profusely and ended up giving us the pizza for free! Great service and the staff is very kind. The pizza was very delicious as well! I am a big fan of the big pepperonis and large slices of Canadian bacon that were on the pizza. On a Friday night dinner this place wasn't super crowded so it made for a nice experience overall.

I changed my review rating because someone, that I can only assume is an employee at this establishment because of all of their pictures on their profile, sent me a note via the compliment option. I have posted a picture of the screenshot. I understand the intent was to get a higher rating for the business however, I rate based on my personal opinion. What you say cannot increase that if I didn't enjoy it for whatever reason. This business originally had 3 stars from me but because of Yousif D.'s note I dropped it to 1 star. He said "3 stars just like you giving 1 star. Do 4 stars or 1 !!! I hope you understand the ratings." While I understand the ratings I don't think he understands the way the process works.

Taking another star off because the owner is yet again responding to my previous comment. I don't appreciate being pestered by the owner of this pizza place.

Geeat little local pizzeria. Buffet was really good. 5-6 chiices of ouzza (hand tossed, wood fired-- WAY above your normal buffet pizza). Small, but fresh salad bar. Meatballs (marinara and bbq) with spaghetti. Marinara sauce is excellent and the garlic rolls are too. A couple of nice looking vegetarian sauces too. Worth seeking out.

Just tried this place tonight for the first time based off of other reviews and the owner and his staff were so nice. We got there about 30 minutes before they closed and he still offered to make us a fresh pizza even as part of the AYCE menu and we got a buffalo chicken pizza and it was so good y'all! Really appreciated the extra effort to make our first visit one to remember

This place blew me away...from Uncle maddios, Blaze pizza, Lucas Pizzeria, all the chain pizza delivery places like Jets and L. Caesars, and EVEN a good ole frozen pizza from Walmart, all of these I listed above would easily trump the pizza we tried eating here. The pizza was not fresh, even though told it was, and it was cheap, worth about 30 cents not $3. How they have 4.7 stars on Yelp and google blows my mind:( 1.7 would be more accurate. And when we gave the pizza back saying it wasn't that good, the owner makes a foolishly bold comment "what? is it 3 day old pizza? This is the best pizza in Murfreesboro!" DiGiorno stuffed crust is better. sorry man.

Delicious all you can eat authentic pizza, the dough was fresh and whatever the all white one was was our favorite! Owner is so nice and makes sure you're taken care of and keeps the place nice and clean. Will definitely be back for more!

We loved it. One of the best pizza's we've had! So fresh and the crust OMG. The owner was so sincere and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our pizza. He came to our table to make sure it was made to are liking!!

You can't go wring with their buffet. The pizzas was superb! Baked zitti and meat balls with marinara sauce was cooked perfectly!

The pizza was amazing. It was my first time ordering. The man was about to close due to horrible weather but accommodated our order and was so polite. Definitely a must try!!

Great value two slices for five bucks, also have a nice salad and Buffet. Crust is very good and it taste fabulous.
