What people say, in short
Sam's Pizza on 231st Street draws loyal Bronx recommendations for a classic slice. A diner particularly likes the Sicilian, and another notes the generous size of a pepperoni pie. Other visitors are less impressed: one describes slices getting oily and soggy, another considers it expensive, and a critic says it does not warrant a subway trip. This is not Uncle Sam's on the Lower East Side or Sam's in Cobble Hill.
