This post was contributed by a community member.

The people have spoken! After launching a new menu last summer, Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill is bringing back its original menu in response to passionate customer requests. You know you’ve got something good when you can evoke that kind of response! Many are getting fired up about the return of their favorites such as the Thai Chicken Pizza, Lobster Mac ‘n’ Cheese and the Chinese Chicken Salad.

Did you know that Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill first opened its doors in 1989 in La Jolla, California? They were also the first restaurant in San Diego with a wood burning oven and many credit Sammy's for introducing the artisanal specialty pizza trend here. Sammy’s cuisine is created using local, organic and nutritionally balanced ingredients wherever possible, and best of all its prepared without butter or artificial trans fats. They also have extensive gluten free and vegetarian options throughout their menu.
