Sammy's Pizza & Restaurant in Coon Rapids, MN continues the legacy of Sammy Perrella, who started the first Sammy’s Pizza in Hibbing in 1954. With a blend of old family recipes and new creations, Sammy's brings authentic Italian cuisine to northern Minnesota. The Perrella family's culinary roots can be traced back to Capistrano, Italy, where their ancestors were renowned cooks.
Despite the initial unfamiliarity with pizza in northern Minnesota, Sammy's Pizza has flourished, expanding to 15 locations and counting. Upholding the traditions of their grandparents, Jeff, Joe, and Louisa Perrella Brooks ensure that Sammy's Pizza maintains the same quality, recipes, and care that have characterized the brand for over 69 years. Their dedication to preserving their family's culinary heritage is evident in every dish served at Sammy's.
In recognition of their commitment to excellence, Sammy's Pizza was inducted into the Pizza Hall of Fame in 2015 and voted 'Best Pizza in Minnesota' by Minnesota Monthly Magazine in 2018. The success of the Coon Rapids location led to the opening of a second restaurant in Elk River in 2017, offering the same exceptional quality and service. Sammy's Pizza & Restaurant is more than just a place for delicious food; it's a cornerstone of tradition, bringing families and communities together through culinary artistry.
