Score
Eddie & Sams Ny Pizza appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 18, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 13 violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Looking across the full record, “no handwashing sign provided at a hand sink used” is the recurring theme, flagged seven times.
Compared to other Tampa restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
