Let me start with I live in NY my entire life and love pizza. This is the best pizza I have had in Florida period and I have tried a good amount of establishments. The service is great. Pizza was good, was it Brooklyn,NY pizza?No. But it was a good pie. The place was packed as I was there to walk to the hockey game.

I have lived in St Pete for over 4 years and had been meaning to try Eddie and Sam’s NY Pizza since it is one of the highest rated pizzerias in the Tampa Bay area. After finally trying it, I honestly do not understand the hype. I was born and raised in New York for over 40 years and have eaten pizza all over the state. This is nowhere close to New York style pizza. I have never tasted or even seen a pizza like this from NY. The closest comparison I can make is a random pizza spot I tried once in Washington DC. The crust is massive, and if you look at my pizza or almost any photo posted here, you will notice the same thing. The bottom was not charred enough to give it any real crisp, and the dough itself was very dry with a strange baked texture that did not resemble traditional pizza dough at all. There is also a heavy amount of cheese, which overpowers everything else. The sauce was decent at first and they are generous with it, but I kept getting hints of olive flavor. Unfortunately, I hate olives, and I do not understand why olive flavor would be in the sauce unless olives were requested as a topping. As for the atmosphere, the place was extremely busy due to the surrounding nightlife scene. It was very loud inside, making it hard to have a conversation, and the constant crowd added to the chaos. Parking was also difficult and required some patience just to find a spot nearby. Overall, the pizza is decent, but it is nowhere near New York pizza and certainly not deserving of its top rated reputation. In my opinion, this place is good, but its not great. Heavily overhyped and overrated by people who may not know what real NY pizza tastes like.

One of the best pizza spots in Tampa for some good NY Pizza! The giant slices are actually truly giant sized. Some places claim to have giant pizza slices and they’ll look like some little Caesar’s slices🤣 I had a cheese slice and cut my white pizza in half to share with my hubby. Hit the spot, so good. This place has always been consistent and delicious!

Being a NYer hard to find good pizza here in florida. For me it all about the sauce and then the dough. I hate greasy pizza. Even back in NY. I only tried the buffalo chicken pizza and it was pretty good. The crust what sold me to try again. It was an amazing crust. They pizza was not bad. It was a little salty for me but overall not bad. Definitely what to try just plain cheese or pepperoni to see if they have real NY pizza. It is tampa so good luck finding a parking spot being this is located right on the corner of a VERY busy area.
