. "Vegas is my hometown, and one of my favorites places to frequent was Sammy's Woodfired Pizza. Upon my last trip back home (this last weekend), I was wanting to hit some of my favorite spots, but didn't get to. To my surprise (and delight), there was a Sammy's right next to my departure gate at McCarran (D Gates, Terminal 1)! I also had an hour to kill, so it was like kismet. Or fate. Or whatever. \n\nSERVICE: It's Christmastime, they were busy, I get it - but first off I have to say the service was lacking. They actually weren't THAT busy, but maybe they were slammed earlier and so they were over it, I don't know. First off, I noticed the host wasn't very attentive to the stand when people were waiting to be seated. I was one of them. My server was the worst though. She looked like she had not smiled in years. I tried to be as polite and easy-going with my few needs (pizza & wine), it's the Holidays, but not once she did she smile, welcome me, thank me, anything! Maybe these are little gestures, but that's just it! They are LITTLE gestures that go a long way. She almost made me uncomfortable they way she stared at me while I ordered. I was sitting next to a couple I also heard complain that the busser came and took his plate away before asking if he was finished - which he wasn't and asked for his side dishes back.\n\n(side note: I overheard my waitress chatting bitterly with the host at a nearby server station about how \"they don't know what they are doing and messing up our schedules\" so I am guessing there are some management issues.)\n\nFOOD: The food & wine I ordered, however, delicious! I ordered a small Chardonnay (to try it, it was good, so I ordered a bigger one after that. What? I wasn't flying the plane). I also ordered the New York Style pizza - yum status. A bit bummed that they didn't have the Gluten Free crust options like I had heard the other Sammy's do, but I figured that was maybe due to airport location, size of menu, etc. I actually didn't feel bloated or sick after eating the crust as I do most often with pizza dough, so I was a happy camper. I scarfed the whole thing down along with my wine and hopped onto my plane home. \n\nSo, that's why the 3 stars.\n\nIf my experience had to be Christmas-ized, the food was like a gift from Santa, the service was like a visit from the Grinch!\n\n***Wish they had a Sammy's in Phoenix!!!"^^ . . .
