Sami's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Buffet

I came from a small town in Italy and moved to Brooklyn at 8, so believe me when I tell you I’ve eaten enough pizza in my life to know when something is wrong. This slice is wrong. Everything about it is wrong. The crust is pale, soft, and dead — no crunch, no char, no chew, no backbone, nothing. You pick it up and it folds over itself like it’s ashamed. First bite is awful because the dough has that wet, gummy texture like it was baked in a microwave instead of an oven. Then the sauce hits you and it’s somehow sweet, bland, and stale all at the same time, like somebody opened a can, warmed it up, and called it a day. The cheese is just as bad — greasy, rubbery, and piled on so heavy it smothers the whole slice without bringing one good thing to it. There’s no balance, no care, no understanding of what pizza is supposed to be. This isn’t even bad in an interesting way, it’s bad in a lazy way, which is worse. I’ve had random corner slices at 1 in the morning that had more dignity than this. If you served this back in my town, people wouldn’t even argue about it — they’d just look at you like you lost your mind. Sami, if this is the standard coming out of your kitchen, it’s a tragedy. This pie tastes like somebody gave up halfway through making it and hoped the cheese would cover the evidence. Pizza’s supposed to have life, structure, pride — this has none of it. It’s the kind of slice that makes you wonder if anybody back there even tasted it before letting it out. For a place putting its name on pizza, this should be embarrassing.

Crisp was great but the taste of the bread was weird. Really similar to pita bread or a cracker. Lots of sauce which is really my jam and makes up for the really weird crust. Sami is awesome and very proud of his lack of flop, and he should be. Good pizza but the crust taste is keeping it down a bit for me

Some good stuff. Personal size

Owner is great guy. Ingredients fairly fresh. Sauce is too sweet. Floppy and not enough crisp. Inconsistent results.

Tried every pizza place in Murfreesboro. This one takes the pie. Sami is a kind owner who looks to provide the best product he can. Fresh sauce, excellent flavor, and amazing crust. He went out of his way to reheat the pizza extra crispy for me before eating. I'll be back.

I’ve eaten here once before, you have to get it well done to get a good crisp. You can tell the ingredients are quality and fresh. It’s a light pizza. Good undercarriage. Not much flop. Good spices, but could use a little less. Sauce is the only thing holding this back from the 9s.

Best in Murfreesboro by a long shot

Not that good. Crust had no flavor at all and tasted like cardboard. Customer service was bad, price was okay tho

No flop. Crispy. Light.

Sicilian Pepperoni. Upon further review after the video it was determined the actual score is a 7.2. That’s a review

I’m calling out Dave. You missed out on the best pizza in the Nashville area. Don’t miss out next time.

It was really good, but definitely a lot of flop which brought the score down. Maybe it was just mine because some reviews said there was no flop. The charcoal from the brick oven made it taste good. Would go again!

This is the best pizza in the Boro. It is very solid brick oven pizza. It may be a little over seasoned for some people but it works well for me. I have to admit I’ve been here a few times ordering different items. The only thing… I do not suggest to anybody is the Sicilian. It cost twice as much and it does not come anywhere near a square Sicilian. They slice it like a regular pie. The Stromboli’s and the calzones is off the chain. The garlic knots are OK. This is the only true pizzeria in the Murfreesboro area.

Dingy ass lighting but neat place. Solid pizza tho, thin with good sauce

Best in the Boro!

The crust was light and fluffy. Lots of good seasoning and overall good taste. Not too cheesy but not lacking cheese

No flop, great flavor! Good pizza

Good crunch, almost no flop. A little greasy, but good flavor and spice. Best in town

Good solid pizza!

Wood fired at a top notch. You can taste the fire in crust. Lots of flavor and herbs sprinkled on top of classic pizza flav! New favorite place in my town.

White pizza is good! Might be better with a stronger cheese! Great crisp zero flop and grease. Nice family buffet and pizza shop. I’ll be back
