50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Osprey

“Great food and great service. Chef Joseph came out to greet us and talked to us about his special risotto preparation. It was nothing short of fantastic!“

“Wow Wow Wow! Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food! I never order pasta from a pizza joint... I'm way too serious about my pasta. I took a chance on Capo as I'd had a slice of their eggplant pizza and it was fabulous. I orded the rigatoni bolognese, and requested penne as a substitute. It was heaven. The sauce was perfect - the amount of garlic was subtley handled as was the rest of the seasoning. No bitterness and not too sweet either. You can tell the sauce had been cooked awhike and not rushed. The meat was high quality and the coupe de gras was to burrata! A huge helping of cheese right in the middle of the dish. The serving was huge... I only needed it for myself and I got 3 meals from it. Of course as all pasta lovers know it was even better the second day. I had the good fortune to be offered a meatball to try by the owner. I went back the next week for an order of meatballs and tried the gnocchi. Highly highly highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“

“Tried this place today (based off of some recommendations on Facebook) and it didn’t disappoint! Pizza crust is perfectly baked, crispy on bottom yet airy and light. Owners are both very nice. We will be back!“

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

“Had Lenny’z Pizza (and sandwiches) several times over the past few weeks. Every time the food was GREAT! Sat at the outside counter bar for a “few” hours and had a great time. Holly, Josephine, and Zack made hanging out there a treat! Hope to see them next year.“

“I recently hosted a group dinner at the Mellow Mushroom in Sarasota for 80 Sarasota High School baseball players and their moms and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone had such a great time! The food was delicious! Service was awesome! And dinning area and set-up were perfect and for our group! We'll definitely be back! Owner, Karen Atwood, is so supportive of our team! She's awesome!“

“Amazing wine, food and service!“

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

“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!“

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

“Rocco and crew catered my Mom’s 80th Birthday party! Food was fabulous. All the guests agreed. Thank you again for everything. Next time we are in Sarasota we will be in for dinner.“

“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!“

“We had our first visit to Maestrale last Sunday, March 1st. Our group of 7 was exceptionally pleased with our meals (we've never seen our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter eat so much!), the attentiveness and the ease of scheduling the reservation. Our meals were all amazing and it was the first of many visits as we expect to enjoy many more meals at Maestrale. We can't wait to go back!“

“This is my 3rd time ordering from here and wow! I am not even kidding the very best pizza I have ever had. I've had to same waitress and I don't remember her name but shes also fabulous and needs the credit too! I live about an hour away but I will forever go out of my way for this pizza if I can. The best crust thats not too thick and filling but also the perfect amount of sauce. I can't wait to try more items. Good quality food seems to be becoming more scarce but not here! I can't speak on the other locations but hopefully they are just as amazing.“

“Great visit. Can't wait to go back!“

“Used these guys to have pizzas, salad and garlic knots delivered to PAM rehab hospital for nurses, assistants and therapy staff for taking such great care of my dad! Nick was most helpful taking and helping me with my large order for 40 people. Everything was delivered on time and still quite warm when folks started coming through the line! The lunch was delicious, everybody really appreciated it, and we will be back again! Thank you 😎❤️“

“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!“

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

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

“My Husband & I have ordered from Joey D's 2 times in the last month. Pizza then a Italian Beef Combo & Gyro. All were excellent!! Thank you to Joey D's & their hard working staff!!“

“The food is ok. I believe the place could use a bit of cleaning and was a bit embarrassed that we brought the whole family here last week. We talked the place up pretty well, but besides the good service we were let down by the dust on the table shelves and the food wasn't that great. Maybe we caught it on a bad day? But cleanliness in restaurants are a a must for us. Good food is too!!“

“Amazing food in downtown Sarasota.“

“This is how you do pizza!🤌 10/10 recommend! Would definitely order from here again!“

“The food we had was excellent, and we enjoyed talking with the owner who said he has been in business for 21 years. Its important to support small restaurant businesses especially when they serve authentic Italian cuisine and desserts made with fresh ingredients and pride.“

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

“Best cheesesteak in Florida. Authentic NY thin crust pizza and many other authentic Italian dishes to choose from. Went for dinner with my Mom last weekend and had a huge table of New Yorkers next to us, laughing and talking Boisterously. Found out they were all from Brooklyn and the Bronx. If NY Italians chose Mama Maria's, you know the food is delicious!“

“This is how you do pizza!🤌 10/10 recommend! Would definitely order from here again!“

“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!!“

“? this place.. great service from Joseph our bartender.. absolutely yummy HH ? and appetizers were awesome ? will be definitely be visiting again soon ! ?‍♀️?“

“Awesome experience. First impression was awesome, place is beautiful especially the washrooms. Andrew was our server and he was phenomenal, they put the world cup game on for us. This dosent even mention the incredible food, i definitely recommend the pork tacos.“

“Very welcoming as soon as u walk in, friendly staff, quant and cozi. I got the bruschetta, very good!!! Then a large sized garden salad which was good, then the capellini with maranara sauce and sausage and all wonderful!! I didnt feel rushed and my food came out as I finished one meal and not all at once, the pasta was not watery like most places and sausage was so good!! Not to mention the background music was great 😊“

“We took grandma for her 97th birthday lunch. We could not have picked a better spot! From helping mom get inside with her walker to the outstanding service for a party of 9 to the fantastic food, we were so impressed. You can taste the love in every bite! They make their pasta and focaccia in-house and you can certainly taste the difference from dried bulk pasta. We tried a variety of options from soups, salads, pasta and stuffed focaccia sandwiches-all were so delicious. The restaurant is quaint and they made us feel like family that came in for a delicious home cooked meal. We will be back! This is my new favorite restaurant!“

“They not only have delicious great quality Italian food, but they accommodate people with Celiac like me who have to eat Gluten Free! Best pizza and calzones!! Everything they make is delicious. Very welcoming to all customers and they have take out too. Best REAL Pizza in Sarasota!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fantastic pizza joint. They've got a great selection of other meals as well. I got the 16 inch build your own with pepperoni and mushrooms. Great crust, thin NY Style. Greek salad was amazing, as well“

“I had an issue with the Uber driver that didn’t speak English very well. So when I got my delivery, my items were missing so I called the actual store and talk to Otto the manager and he told me what to do to correct it and the driver went back. Got the stuff that was missing and brought it to me and I’ll tell you Otto went up and beyond to help me out I definitely recommend little Caesars. I’ve been eating Little Caesars forever. Both Ringling and Bee Ridge. Way to go my brother“

“Amazing dinner tonight!!! Everything was fresh and delicious. From the red wine, to the winter vegetable soup to our salad and pizza. Every bite! And the staff was awesome. What a hidden gem and they reservations. The wait staff were all from Italy. So authentic. Cute place. We’re definitely going back soon. 💙💙💙“

“Excellent place to relax! Great people, great food.“

“This is my first time ordering from Jet’s. I am not from the area, I am sitting in a nursing facility next to a Hospice bed. I initially called another place and the lady was rude as all get out while I was trying to determine how close they are, so I hung up on her . ☺
I called Jet’s and spoke to a very nice gentleman, explained the logistics of having to be here before 8pm when the front door locks & to call slightly ahead so that I could be buzzed out of the wing that I am in and run to the front .
The pizza arrived in 20 min, and well before 7:30 so access was not a problem at all!
Back in the room, I discovered that the pizza was still screaming hot - perfect! The bottom of the crust was crisp, the inside soft, the veggies fresh and the cheese was cheesy. I ordered the “8 corner Chicago style with diced tomatoes and bell peppers “. I would rate this amongst the highest of delivery style big chain well known pizza.(not quite as good as my local family owned - family from
Italy pizza, but solid none the less).
I should have ordered the “4 corner Chicago Style” or hand tossed S . This thing is enormous and way too much food for one . Depending on how little sleep I get, it might be a handy late night snack or six.

My total was $30.88 which included a $9 delivery charge and before a $6 tip for the driver. My question is : are the drivers driving company equipment or their own? If they are driving their own, and none of the $9 goes on their check for helping maintain their car - then I think it is kind of scammy . It did not take Jet’s any more effort to put my pizza in a box than it would have if I was picking up .
That being said, the website and BOT that answered the phone both offer a 15% discount for ordering online or via text. Being that this was my first time ordering, I felt better talking to a real person to qualify that they were close enough and the special instructions regarding delivery and access considering where I am. I asked for a couple paper plates and they supplied them. The pizza and plates were left with the gentleman at the front desk - I did get up there quickly but it was a little peculiar to me that the plates were not in a bag or anything . I can only hope that they weren’t on the floor of the driver’s car, the guy at the desk didn’t decide to handle them etc .“
