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“

“We ordered the ham and other side dishes for Christmas. It was so delicious! Portions were generous and we look forward to the leftovers. We will order again. Thank you!!“

“This is not my norm to leave reviews on pizza places but I had to admit this pizza WAS REALLY GOOD!!! My favorite pizza spot has competition. The bread, the cheese, the sauce 10/10. I was really pleasantly surprised and for the price, you can’t beat it. The place was busy but I now understand why. You guys just won a loyal customer“

“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.“

“Love the girl that works her her but off. My girlfriend accidentally gave her a 2 star the other day on online order. It was purely by mistakes. We haven't even got our order yet. And I let her know witch I new your name friend . Over the top customer service“

“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.“

“Dan IS New Haven Apizza! I grew up in East Haven and always thought pizza was the same until I left CT... As I get older, finding a high quality pie is hard to come by. Dan is Legit Apizza!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Best pizza I've ever had.“

“The food here is incredible. I have started coming here on my lunch break. Can’t beat the lunch special!! Try it! Owner is very friendly great restaurant 🤘🏻“

“Great time with great friends.“

“Food, especially the Siesta Key pizza, are top notch. Service is prompt and courteous, even when busy. Hours are also great for those getting off of work at 2:00am.
There is only one thing I would change, and that is the use of bleach. It's been noticiable on my experiences. I have worked in the food service industry since my teens. I know that it is used for sterilization, and Origin's is very clean. I would offer this suggestion to any restaurant; bleach cleans but does not evaporate. When people put it down, they rarely remove it afterwards. Vinegar works just as well if left for 20 minutes and does evaporate, but is not pleasant to smell so it would only be practical after closing. One of the best things that I've learned while bussing and washing is to use a bar towel soaked and wrung with the sanitizing liquid used in a 3 sink wash system. Great for wiping surfaces inside and out, leaves no odor.
Thanks.“

“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“

“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...“

“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“

“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!“

“Great vibe, friendly staff, tremendous pizza! I look forward to eating here again.“

“Made a reservation for my family to celebrate my graduation for nursing school. The staff was very friendly and accommodating after having some phone issues when I was initially trying to book. I had my three-year-old daughter with me and another three-year-old in the family there as well, they brought out pizza dough for them to play with Which truly made it a memorable and fun experience. Thank you so much!“

“Best pizza hands down ! Real New York style pizza ! Amazing“

“Hands down the BEST dinner I have had out in a long time!!! And I eat out a lot! I enjoyed a glass of chardonnay and the Amalfi chicken dinner over gluten free pasta. It came out piping hot from the kitchen and each bite literally melted in my mouth with so much flavor! Very generous sized portions so I enjoyed my leftovers the next night. The servers were very attentive. I cant wait to go back to try another dish on their menu! I highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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! ??“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This Bee Ridge location has been a staple of our Friday night pizza for a long time. I usually pick it up & the young man at the drive thru window is always very kind & prompt... so I make sure & give a cash tip, (when I have cash on hand), that is. We've never had a bad pepperoni pizza... also, can't beat the price!“

“Las mejores pizzas que he comido“

“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“

“Amo este lugar es pizza cubana auténtica !! Yo ordeno la pizza para que mi familia me la traiga por avión a Virginia cada vez q ellos me visitan. También he visitado el lugar y la atmósfera y la gente es bien profesional y atenta! Me encanta! La recomiendo 100%!“
