50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lakewood Ranch

“Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina isn't just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt family. I feel so profoundly grateful to this incredible establishment for the love and kindness they showed my son, Finn, during his time with them. From the moment he started working there, he was welcomed with open arms by the owner, the manager, and the entire staff. They treated him like one of their own, fostering an environment filled with camaraderie and joy. Finn cherished every moment of his time at Michelangelo's, especially as he worked his way up to the “slices” position from bussing tables. At just 19 years old, he had been working since he was 16, and of all the places he joined, this was where he truly felt at home. Their generosity was boundless—they consistently provided us with free food on multiple occasions, and their warm-heartedness shone brightly during Finn’s Memorial Celebration at Bayside when they offered us free food to honor his memory. It was these selfless acts that made an indelible mark on our hearts, showcasing the kind of extraordinary people they are. I’ll never forget the evening of August 6th, just three days before Finn passed. I had the privilege of watching him work while enjoying dinner with my daughter. Sitting in the booth, I observed him taking orders, pulling pizzas in and out of the brick oven, and calling out orders with such grace. The way he juggled so many tasks with a smile on his face filled me with pride. I even managed to sneak in a few pictures, moments I will forever treasure. Thank you, Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina, for being the supportive family Finn needed in a workplace. Your kindness, generosity, and community spirit have touched our lives deeply. We will always hold you close to our hearts. With heartfelt gratitude, Kyra, Luke and Family“

“Great staff and food! Full of flavor and always fresh. Highly reccomend!“

“This is a pizza place that's just down the street from where I live and these guys offered the best service and each time I go they welcomed me like family I got help last time by Jason and you can tell that he has so much passion for his customers and then tonight I got helped by a lady who can tell also has a strong passion for her customers making them feel very welcome this is the place I will definitely come back again“

“Yes the manager of Domino's pizza had his delivery driver bring me a pizza out to the lake manatee state park camp grounds on state road 64 at 10 pm. The driver and the manager both were both really great. And thank you again guys ??“

“4/2 update - New management! We ordered carry out at the store today and got great service and good quality food as expected from Domino's. They (and 3 other stores) have been taken over by new management and I'm sure things will be hit or miss for a while as they restore their reputation but this visit was great in our opinion.

I pre-ordered pizza for lunch today and it didn't arrive so I tried calling and no one picked up. I ended up driving to the location and there was no one in the store and the door was locked. This was my first time ordering from this location.“

“I had some issues with my order on 11/20/25, with the delivery process. It had been a while since I ordered so I called and they kindly explained what the issue was. Unfortunately there was another issue where the order got sent to the wrong location, but Bob the store manager had it remade and personally delivered to me. He explained how they are short staffed and doing their best to keep up with the orders they get. It’s completely understandable how hectic things can get when you can only do so much with what you have. Bob is doing great, and handled the situation wonderfully. With how things are right now, just trying to do your job can be difficult, but y’all are working through it to the best of your abilities. So thank you for being kind during a difficult situation and I hope others are kind to you all in turn.“

“We had lunch today at Oak & Stone in North Port. Wellen Park! Great food service and pleasant atmosphere. 5 ⭐️“

“We ordered Pizza and it was delicious!! The service was great!! Sophia made us feel welcome and was very pleasant. She must have visited our table 6 or 7 times making sure we were doing ok.“

“This pizza is excellent and he’s on point with calling it New Haven Style Apizza!!! So glad I finally got to try it.“

“We love wood fired pizza and Atmosphere delivers in every way! This small friendly spot on Beneva has the best wood fired pizza we have ever tasted in FL -“

“Attardi's is the best pizza place in Sarasota, and I'm Italian and am picky. And, for you West Virginia's who miss your state's famous "pepperoni rolls" - Attardi's has them, and they're as good or better than any you can get in the Mountaineer state. George the owner/chef has amazing attention to detail, cooks everything perfectly with the finest ingredients. He's a perfectionist (you can tell by watching him). This place is a gem. Just Fyi.“

“Consistently excellent pizza. Great service. Sal does a great job. Always recognizes us and our order.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Very family friendly as our 7 year old had a blast! Well worth the price and hope to return again soon!“

“Best pizza I've ever had.“

“Great pizza buffet all u can eat always going home stuffed lol!!!“

“I had the house salad as a side. It had a good variety of vegetables and the house balsamic dressing was amazing. I also had the stromboli with sausage and pepperoni. The stromboli had ricotta and mozzarella cheeses which made it better than a typical stromboli. I highly recommend Origin!“

“We were in town for a soccer showcase, and decided to check this place out. Our server was awesome with his suggested menu items. Garlic knots, pizza, and wings were fantastic! The pricing was excellent. I highly recommend! 5/5“

“Staff was amazing 🤩 Customer service is number one!!!!“

“We stopped in for the first time this afternoon. They provided the best pizza I remember. The crust is just right, proper crisp, chewy, flavorful. The sauce is a masterpiece, the best I've had since I moved to the area 30 some years ago. Toppings are spot on. I highly recommend this place as The Goto place for a good pie!“

“The food, service and ambiance was outstanding! Had Michelle as my server, she's great! I didn't realize they were a full fledged Italian joint from Philly. I love the Frank Sinatra and all the crooner music, played! I need to come back and try their Lobster Ravioli SOON! Still had to try their meatballs, which were great!
They have the rolls shipped from a bakery in Philly. Yes, they have seeds like alot of the modern day rolls. The Cooper Sharp Cheddar was very unique to me and I loved it. I know on a previous post, peeps were asking where the cheese was. The Pic doesn't show it but there is ample cheese.
Leftovers are going to be great! Highly recommend this local business...“

“I love their pizza! Definitely one of my favorites in town and their cheesy breadsticks are awesome as well! Plus location is grand. You can get pizza and then ice cream right next door!“

“Great visit. Can't wait to go back!“

“Best wings ever! Dog friendly seating outside. Favorite pizza in Sarasota and a healthy roasted veggie salad“

“Can't beat the pizza.... classic NY/NJ style pie. Nothing beats a pie right out of the oven and delivered to your table. My daughters, both adults now, who grew up eating slices in many of NYC & Long Island's best pizzerias love coming into Solorzano's and ordering the "classic" NY lunch order...... "One & One", a regular cheese slice and a Sicilian (square) slice. Whenever we go to lunch it is always Solorzano's. we sit in the back, eat our pizza and feel like we are back on Long Island grabbing a few slices after a day at Jones Beach or Eisenhower Park.... don't forget to wash down your pizza with a Manhattan Special!“

“Food was prepped quickly and was delicious. Grace was fantastic!“

“Du Quebec a siesta key première arrête en arrivant sur l’ile délicieuse les enfants l’adore“

“Was hesitant to try based off reviews but happy I did. I did a take out order staff was kind and helpful even suggested one of the sandwiches I ordered steak pepper and potatoes which turned out phenomenal it’s spicy peppers but also flavorful and unique.“

“Great service at the Drive thru or inside! The thin crust pizza is delicious and very reasonably priced! Great Caesar salad also!“

“First off, this place is amazing! It’s definitely a small hole in the wall shop but the pizza and atmosphere did not disappoint! Had the spaghetti and meatballs also, very delicious and can’t forgot garlic knots! Will definitely be back!!! Price is great“

“We love coming to MOD Pizza on SR 64! The pizza is always excellent, perfectly cooked, and just the way we like it every single time. 🍕 Betsy went above and beyond with her customer service — she was so kind, attentive, and made our experience even better. We’ve been here a few times already and decided this will definitely be a Friday night staple for our family. Highly recommend MOD Pizza for anyone looking for great food and great service!“

“Lily provided absolutely outstanding service! She took exceptional care of us and truly went above and beyond our expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. It’s rare to come across someone who is so dedicated to ensuring guests feel valued and well taken care of. Because of Lily, we will definitely be coming back, and we highly recommend asking for her if you visit. She is a true asset to the team.“

“Blaze Pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. My family and I love this place! I have personally been to 6 different locations for Blaze Pizza and this one definitely has the best customer service of any of them so far.
Thank you Mackenzie for your Stellar Service!“

“Very clean and something to do for everyone! Amazing atmosphere and the pizza was awesome! My 3 year old enjoyed it very much as well as me and my husband, we will definitely will be back! overall we were NOT disappointed ❤️“

“They deserve 5 stars! I just picked up my order…it took a little longer than the cashier stated but that’s ok! They were sooo busy, even before I placed my order. They just opened and it seemed everyone wanted pizza on a Friday night! But to my point, the employees maintained their focus on getting the orders ready while providing good customer service! I honestly was very impressed!
I’ll definitely be coming back!
And cashier girl, you killed it! ??“

“Yummy and such big portions.“

“Excellent food, great service, friendly people—what more do you need? How about flavorful brisket, well-seasoned baked beans, and perfectly done fried okra? We’ll definitely be back.“

“My family is never disappointed with the food or service!! My pizza is always hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. We adore the staff and the one time we had a mix up they were so quick to fix it. Don't always believe the negativety you see online about a place. THE KAREN is a growing pandemic. You can't treat people like crap and expect good service!! Well unless you are a Karen!! Be kind and tip well. This staff is worth it!!“

“The employees are really nice and their food is delicious! And the price is really good for what you get.“

“Great spot, great atmosphere. Our server, Kevin, was sharp and conscientious. He knew not to put food/plates in front of our one year old, sounds like common sense, right? But you'd be surprised how many servers don't think before placing forks/knives etc in front of infants and toddlers. Kevin gets 5 stars for being a proper waiter.

Our food came out promptly, all ingredients were fresh and cooked correctly. Notable standouts for our food were the ranch dressing on the BLT salad and the black beans side dish. And the best drink at the table was the Finnhead Mexican lager, crisp and delicious, also rare to see a Mexican beer at a brewery.“

“I can't recall the last time a service industry employee has impacted me so positively! Ever since I first saw Mick rocking the drive-thru at this Little Caesar's, the restaurant has consistently delivered exceptional food, on-time orders, and phenomenal customer service. I've literally called the guy to compliment him! Expect to be greeted with a huge, welcoming smile and enthusiastic service every single time he's on shift. No, I'm not paid to say this, and I don't even know him personally—he just deserves the recognition!

Keep up the great work!!!“

“Amazing wine, food and service!“

“The traditional Cuban sandwich is out of this world, the croquetas are perfectly crispy, and the mamey shake is pure heaven. The other day, my coworkers and I tried their delivery service—expected in 40 minutes, but just 5 minutes later it was already on the way, fresh and perfect. Everything arrived super fast and with amazing quality. Highly recommended!“

“I worked in pizza many years ago, and I've eaten pizza all over this country as a trucker. I have never in my life seen picture perfect pizzas. Like the ones in the commercials, until I ordered from this little Caesars. Not once but twice, the pizzas looked almost too good to eat. Seriously I am impressed. Y'all deserve a raise.“

“Las mejores pizzas que he comido“

“We are in love with Jet’s Pizza now that we’ve found them in Lakeland and in Sarasota. We were in Sarasota visiting with our daughter and son-in-law for the weekend and decided to have pizza on a Friday night. You can imagine that’s not an easy choice to make given the crowds. But I called Jet’s to see if they had tables inside. They informed me that they had two tables and we headed over. We were greeted by the friendliest face of a pizza maker ever! He told us he was “living the Pizza dream!” What a great guy.\n\nWe had the four corner Detroit-style pepperoni, which was perfect perfection. We also tasted the chocolate chip dessert cookie and loved it. Our daughter and son-in-law chose a different pizza with the Detroit crust and some wings. If you’ve never had their pizza, you need to know that each piece has corners. That’s what makes it so extra special.\n\nNothing was left when we were finished with dinner! We had a great time and interacted with customers and management throughout our meal. Great food, great service, and a lot of laughter. I highly recommend this location. Very personable and friendly.“
