The Sammy’s Story
Our Story
The Sammy’s Pizza story starts in Grandpa Sam Perrella’s small cafe in Keewatin, Minnesota in the early 1950s. Around the table, WWII veterans shared stories about a new favorite food discovered while serving in Italy: pizza. Grandpa Sam was inspired and took a trip to Chicago to discover more about this Italian dish. After tasting his fair share of slices (for research purposes of course), he came home to our Gramma Louise. Together, they created their own take on this delish delight.
The results were a pizza unlike any other. A mix of Chicago, Italy, and their own secret sauce, Sammy’s Pizza quickly became a local tradition. Over the years expanding to 14 locations in cities across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota — each restaurant locally owned and operated by a family member or close friend of the Perella family.
Sammy’s lovers have developed their own traditions gathered around our dinner tables — and now our delicious pizzas can be stored in your home freezer, ready to eat whenever the craving hits! We’ve reimagined our family favorite recipes, crafting the same quality and flavors loved by generations but in the style of a frozen pizza that Grandpa Sam and Grandma Louise would be proud to serve!
