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!“

“First time eater after seeing a few YouTuber videos. We got medium (8 smaller slices) bacon, chicken, white sauce, onion and tomato. Original crust, with crust Roma seasoning. Tasted fresh, cooked perfect. One person working managing all the roles but handled it all very well! Kudos. I grew up in pizza restaurant so cost, I consider expensive but comparing it to Papa John’s and etc .. Marcos is much better quality and maybe $2 less.“

“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 ??“

“Just moved here. Need some to eat after moving all day. Haven’t been to been to a Dominos in awhile. Sent in a carryout order for me to pick up. Got there just as the pizza was coming out. Pizza was delicious and the team was super nice. Well done!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best pizza I've ever had.“

“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 -“

“Love this place...great food and beers on tap. Feels like home 🍕🍕“

“Hey Fresta's Fresta's
Happy 1st anniversary! I'll take the whole meau and try it all! Meatballs, garlic bread ball, cheese balls and for dessert a baseball cake ball if you have that! I also will like to take couple of swings of those buffalo wings hopefully it gives me a Grand slam smash Burger home run. although it's spring training! I need that real philly taste. To drive it back to Clearwater at Phillies philly spring training camp! I am dying for that taste of that real philly special cheese steak Italian style and that real Italian stallion sandwich that's light out and it knock your shore right off your feet! Omg! Don't forget that philly cheese as well with any kinda pasta that melts in your mouth and down your stomach that you will good hmmm. That was very tasty. That Florida doesn't even have and they cannot even make it correctly that other Florida Italian restaurants and made up philly steak places cannot even make. Pretty tried going back and forward going home to Philadelphia to get these types of delicious Italian food even philly cheese steak. Forget about it about Arizona Italian food. then back to Florida. No other Italian real taste. Finally there is a real Italian restaurant. In westnorth of Florida. Can't wait to get a taste of Fresta's that everyone in Bradenton area is talking about the Philly! philly! Style. 😋 God knows hopefully this real Italian restaurant grow across the state of Florida. See y'all“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great visit. Can't wait to go back!“

“We just had the medium thin crust pizza. Absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. The very best. You have to try it.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Best Pizza ! Every Friday for 15 + years , great people , great food. , recommend to everyone ! YUM !“

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

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

“I was in town for business, and was craving a good pizza. The problem is I’m Gluten Free. There were plenty of places to choose from, but I decided on Origin because of the pricing and the options. I was immediately greeted and I sat myself at a table. Ordered the ER with jalapeños and black olives on a cauliflower crust, extra crispy, and it was DELICIOUS! I’m going you have to say, sadly for me because I live in Texas, this was one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve had yet. Not too much sauce, perfect amount of cheese, the ham was diced and not big chunks. You are able to get everything in one slice every time. Service was perfect, they checked on me often but not too often which is what I like. Thank you, Origin! I’ll be back for sure when I’m back in town!!“

“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“

“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!!“

“From the moment I stepped into Blaze Pizza, it felt like I had wandered into a little world of magic—warm, welcoming, and full of joy. The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“What can I say about Little Caesars Pizza that everyone doesn't already known? Is the pizza inexpensive? Yes! Is the pizza portal cool to use in advance? Definitely! Should you use the app? You bet you should!

If you don't have the app then get it. It's easy to use and you will save a lot of money. They have games, challenges, and deals. I mean, I spent less than $20 on a pizzas, 3 orders of puffs (which are freaking awesome!), and order of bread.

They also have great lunch deals.

I'm glad this location is just a few miles away!“

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

“Annual trip from Tennessee
Beer selection covers the basics. Very Good. Last time here they had a ton more so we coulda hit a tap rotation day.

Food….MOST EXCELLENT AGAIN!!!!!
Atmosphere…which I’m all about….is very very nice!
Service fine.
Gift shop still needs a “BIG TOP Brewing” visionary. They claim a circus theme too but i don’t see it represented. It bothers me I can’t buy something fun.
Overall tho what I’m here for tho is splendid.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“
