Fat Sams Pizzeria

Fat Sams Pizzeria is a long-standing Violet Avenue fixture in New Edlington, listed on Restaurant Guru and Yelp as one of the village late-evening takeaways. The menu reaches well beyond pizzas alone: alongside the full range of stone-baked pizzas there are calzones, garlic breads, kebabs, burgers, southern-fried chicken meals, salads and an assorted side-orders section that turns the shop into a one-stop weekend order for households across the New Edlington estate.

The shop trades on speed of turnaround and on the price-and-portion ratio that ex-colliery villages judge their takeaways by; reviewers consistently flag the size of the pizzas as the headline rather than the toppings list. The Violet Avenue parade where Fat Sams sits also runs the neighbouring Famous Sams and Dolphin Fish Bar units, which makes the row one of the densest takeaway clusters in the village and pulls competitive pricing across all three counters. Delivery covers Edlington, Warmsworth and parts of Balby on most evenings, with a delivery minimum and a small radius charge. There is no sit-in service.
