50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Sarasota

“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!“

“My husband and I have eaten here twice so far- great food and even better service. Holly and Beth were personable, friendly, efficient- very impressed with their customer service! We asked for the manager and told her they represented the restaurant well. Great place to go eat, relax and was within walking distance from where we stayed.“

“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!

“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!“

“Wow! Was so surprised. The pizza was fabulous and would definitely return! Everything about it was 💯“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Amazing wine, food and service!“

“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!!“

“Many restaurants say they make a Margherita Pizza. At best they are imposters dressing up their regular pizza with some basil and olive wand cooking it in their regular oven. Not the case with Vesuvio wood fired Pizza., owned by a native of Naples, Italy. The Margherita pizza is the real deal, good enough for Queen Margherita of Savoy. Raffaele Esposito would be honored by this version of his creation! The simplicity of this classic pizza is what makes it so special. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside (baked quickly at 900 degrees in a wood fired grill) yet wonderfully chewy on the inside, providing the ideal base for the toppings. The tomato sauce was fresh and vibrant, made from San Marzano tomatoes that burst with flavor. It had just the right balance of sweetness and acidity, enhancing every bite. The mozzarella cheese was creamy and melted beautifully, creating that irresistible stretch with each slice. Elevating the pizza was the fresh basil leaves. They added a fragrant, herbal note that complemented the other ingredients perfectly. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil brought everything together, adding a rich, smooth finish. Overall, this Margherita pizza was a testament to the idea that sometimes, less is more. With just a few high-quality ingredients, it delivered a taste experience that was both simple and sublime. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the beauty of classic Italian flavors! Chef Gennaro, thank you for the great pizza and the having the Spirit of America in you!“

“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. ✨🍕“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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 😊“

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

“We visited Bella Vida Italian Kitchen (501 N. Geneva Rd., Sarasota, FL 34232 – 941-365-5555) and were absolutely blown away. The pasta carbonara came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint in fact, it was the best carbonara we’ve ever had, even compared to dishes we’ve enjoyed while traveling in Italy. The osso bucco was incredible as well, with portions so generous that they happily boxed up the leftovers for us. For dessert, the cannoli was truly to die for, and the coffee was perfection. Every single part of the meal exceeded our expectations.We were so impressed that we’ve decided to use this restaurant to cater our wedding. Rocco, the owner, sat with us and personally greeted us, along with the wonderful servers. The whole place has an authentic, welcoming family vibe, and everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy. The restaurant is spotless honestly the cleanest restaurant in Sarasota and even the bathrooms are immaculate. Everything about Bella Vida was above and beyond anything we’ve experienced in Sarasota. We can’t recommend it enough!“

“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!!!“

“Excellent Italian cuisine. Service and food were outstanding. Highly recommended!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Great good, great service!“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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“

“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.“

“Love Pazzo. We have dinner here multiple times. We have sat inside and on their lovely patio which is reminiscent of a Piazza in Italy. The food is reasonable, and yummy always. Service is great, with the owner typically there and greeting guests which is nice. The only negative I would share is that they do not use fresh grated Parmesan which is just plain cutting $$. It is nice to have fresh grated Parmesan offered and sprinkled on Italian dishes versus being given a glass shaker jar with cheap cheese. It's actually the only Italian restaurant we go to that does this. Hopefully, they'll change to real Parmesan served as fresh grated at request.“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
