“What a wonderful establishment, the atmosphere is very welcoming. On a busy Friday night, we were a giant party, so many I don't know the official number, and the service was fantastic, our server, Josh was awesome! The food was spectacular. I highly recommend the baked clams! The Veal Hero was delicious, best I've had in a long time. My husband had the lasagna and it was brilliantly seasoned, the noodles were perfectly al dente, super cheesy, and the Bolognese was delectable!“

“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!!“

“Today I went into the State road 70 location the only guy working his name was Ben! Somewhere the order had been messed up and was made into a large instead of an XL without hesitation questioning or anything whatsoever Ben was courteous treated me with the most utmost respect very professional remade our order and made us forever customers of the State road 70 Marcos location I really hope the managers and owners of this Marcos location really understand that Ben is an asset to their company he's professional he's prompt and really made a great experience thank you Ben“

“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 ??“

“Tried the new NY Style pizza. I was pretty good! Maybe not quite as good as you can find in north Jersey but pretty good. This shop is conveniently located right off Lorraine Road so quick trip over and back for us. Great guys there make a nice pizza and provide great service. “

“I have to praise this location. My teens have ordered a LOT of pizza this summer and the people that work here are above and beyond. They are quick, quality is great, friendly, on time, they are amazing. The management structure here must be good because it comes down from the top. I got to tell the manager today that this location is amazing and they do a great job. I do hope @dominos corporate sees their good works. 10 out of 10.“

“What a great place! Just stopped in on the way home from work with Max. Great folks. Looked like an awesome draft beer selection! Will definitely be going back. Can’t wait!“

“I ordered a pizza, it was big size with good ingredients. It was great for its price.“

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

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

“SOOOO GOOD! We’ve been struggling to find good pizza in Sarasota and this was phenomenal!“

“We couldn’t decide where to eat, so decided to try a new place and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the filling & tasty meal!“

“This pizza is the best we have found in Sarasota. We are so happy that Fat Daddio’s restaurant owner from NJ decided to open this location after moving to Florida for retirement! It’s just the best!
Everyone is most friendly every single time we order for pickup and our food is delicious and right every time we order. 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!!“

“Definitely the best pizza in the area. Worth the drive for me even though it’s 30 minutes from my house. Always fresh ingredients and the owners are amazing.“

“Gave this place a shot super-late one night when nothing else was open and couldn’t have been happier. The pizza was great and they keep serving food in the hours when everyone else has closed or shut down their kitchen for the night. Now that I know about it, I’d go back even when everyone else in the area is still open/serving.

Update: Ordered from them a few times since I wrote my original review (?) five years ago and my last experience was really rough. The pizza was just so poorly made and not at all up to the standards I’d come to expect from them. Hopefully it was just a fluke but it was so disappointing that I haven’t been back since. I’m only dropping my review to 4stars because of all the good experiences I had before but… that last one was pretty bad.“

“I loved my meal! The Chicago dog and the Italian beef was amazing. I ordered fries but I barely ate them and I love fries. The dog and beef were that good. I’m telling you the Chicago dog was great and I don’t “like” relish or mustard!!! Go figure! Get the beef wet or at least extra au ju on the side! Get the bread wet like Joey Chestnut and you won’t be mad! Portillo’s doesn’t have anything on this place!!! I can’t believe I’ve lived here 4 years and I just tried them!!! Shame on me!“

“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.“

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

“BEST pIzZa IN ALL OF MANATEE AND SARASOTA!“

“The food and atmosphere are great! A fun, casual place to go and eat while watching sports on multiple screens. The pizza and wings are fantastic with a nice cold beer. Great service too.“

“This place is awesome... Great atmosphere and delicious food make this place one of our new favorites! We got meatball parm, hot Italian combo, and a pizza and it was some of the best we've had! (The Italian combo especially - the homemade bread set it over the top, seriously, its making me hungry again just thinking about it! Lol) I'm already looking forward to the next time we come here! Juliana and everyone in the back were great as well. Enjoyed friendly conversation with everyone and felt like we were at a friend's house for dinner. 10/10 would reccomend“

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

“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!“

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

“Great time with great friends.“

“Best pizza I've ever had.“

“Good pizzas and good salad 🥗“

“Keltsey, Elena, Bri are absolutely amazing, Elena had such a warming and sweet welcome at the host stand, Keltsey was holding down the bar perfectly and was making conversation with all of the guests and ensuring they were having a good time, and Bri was very attentive and was so helpful with the beer wall and the questions we had about the menu. All three girls showed amazing hospitality to us today! They were fabulous!“

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

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

“Las mejores pizzas que he comido“

“First time eating at this family owned Italian restaurant, but it won't be my last. The Caesar Salad was very good. The Garlic Knots were good, but needed more garlic. The Vodka pasta with Chicken added was awesome! The Pop's Piccata was good, but could use a little more lemon. The portions are large enough to share or have the second half for lunch/dinner the next day.“

“We have enjoyed every meal we have ordered BUT the pizza is THE best we have had in our 5 years in Florida, and the caesar salad is always delicious! The staff is friendly, but the physical place itself is not inviting.
However, the fact that we come from Parrish for the food says a lot.“

“OMG. The food is delicious and Kevin was wonderful to visit with too!!! Go have pizza and wings and you will think you are back home in Buffalo. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“This is the second party we’ve had with Livingston’s and they were just as amazing as the first. Lexi was super awesome and super attentive despite having to serve other customers. She made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Management was great as well! We live 25 miles away and it is still our first choice for a family night or date night! Oh and the Magic 8 Ball for the adults is everything!!“

“Best NY style pizza in Sarasota!!!“

“My pizza got stolen from here once, someone else claimed my order and took it, but the employees where nice about it and made me a new pie. The pizza itself is alright, gets the job done. Atmosphere of the place is alright, it’s clean and organized.“

“Another location my wife and I have driven by too many times to count before finally giving them a shot. The sauce on my wife's spaghetti was good and had a nice flavor. The serving size of her spaghetti was also very ample to where she turned it into several meals. Her pasta dinner came with bread and a side salad, which she gave to me as she always does. I loved how fresh the lettuce was, and it was also a very good size for a side salad. My dinner consisted of the 16" pepperoni pizza cut into six slices. The crust was cooked perfectly, and the amount of pepperoni was definitely sufficient. I was able to turn the pizza into three meals. We also ordered a side of the garlic knots, and they did not disappoint. Service was good and attentive, and while the restaurant was not busy, the atmosphere inside was very inviting. If you have not tried this location of Rico's, you are missing out.“

“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!!“

“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 boyfriend and I love going to Blaze Pizza! We’ve been coming for years and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The pizza always crispy and just as ordered! Tonight I wanna give a shout-out to Al! He made ordering our dinner a memorable experience, with his spirit and overall vibe! We will be back for more thanks Al! “

“My new favorite Italian restaurant. Have ordered four times from Uber Eats and haven’t been disappointed. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The eggplant parmigiana is fantastic. The antipasto salad, the cheesesteak, the pizza, the best I’ve had in a long time. Former NYer here and I highly recommend. Don’t forget the Lemon Mascarpone cake. It’s so good I order two pieces at a time.“

“Awesome pizza. Great hospitality. Love it. All kind of Pizzas ready to go. Awesome Stromboli as well. Highly recommend“

“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“

“Ordered this pizza for delivery tonight, was a first time customer. Their pics looked good so I thought I would try it. I got a large pie, well done, with peperoni, sausage, anchovy, and an order of wings. I was thoroughly impressed with all aspects of the food. Pizza was nice and thin and crispy, they did not skimp on the sauce or toppings. It was very flavorful. The wings were also outstanding. Nice big quality wings and their buffalo sauce and garlic parm sauce must be made in house because I havent tasted them before and they were really good. I will 100% order from them again.“

“Grew up on this pizza place, used to eat it fast while we ran around the neighborhood! Good deal and quick.

Marie has been a champion working yesterday and today - with a smile and grace! I hope this company knows how lucky they are to have a special employee/mother/woman like her.“

“USE THIS DOMINO'S.. READ IT ALL AND U WILL UNDERSTAND WHY. I had a real bad experience at this Domino's my food was messed up when I called the gentleman who answered was very rude, so I wrote a complaint on their site corporate sent it to the owner of that Domino's the owner called me back the very next day heard me out listen to my story and replace my food you can't always help what your employees do but as a owner you can. And I can honestly say I will order from this Domino's forever and I recommend if you're in the area use this Domino'sAlso never had a issue before now and have ordered from here at least 60 times“

“My husband found this place for us while we were vacationing in Sarasota. The food was incredible. My in laws got the lasagne, my husband got the Ragu, and I got the risotto special that had prosciutto and burrata. This was easily the best meal we had while in Sarasota. The service was great, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We were so full we couldn’t finish our meal, and we sadly did not have a microwave at our hotel! Thank you for a great experience and even better food!“

“That was the best pizza I have had in Florida in 18 years! I have tried so many pizza places over the years finally found one that is comparable to what I used to have up north. I will be a loyal customer. The Detroit style pizza is amazing. Also, experienced excellent service at pickup- very friendly. Rob K“
