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!!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 food, atmosphere and let’s not forget about the amazing chicken parm 🤤“

“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!“

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

“Great visit. Can't wait to go back!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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 😊“

“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 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!!!“

“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!“

“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’re from out of town(North Fla) and stopped in for the first time last night. We’ve passed through this area a few times, and I’ll admit the exterior gave us a a little pause, but we are so glad we didn’t pass it up! The food and service were genuinely fantastic! Our server was incredibly attentive, and we noticed every server treating their tables with the same energy; friendly, engaged, and on top of things. Portions were generous, and the prices were very fair, IMHO. The music was at the perfect volume. It wasn’t packed, but it definitely wasn’t empty either. For a Saturday around 5 PM, the wait time for our food was totally reasonable. Overall, we were really impressed with our visit! We’ll be back every time we’re in the area, and we already recommended it to our family in Siesta Key, South Sarasota, and Bradenton.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food in downtown Sarasota.“

“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 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“

“They didn't give me any plates but I was the last of the carry out orders for the night so I just used the plates that God gave me. All the workers said have a good night to me though so that was cool, plus someone was bumping some mean tracks behind the counter too so the crew gets 5 stars just for that.“

“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.“

“Delicious meal! Service was great! Matthew our waiter was super!“

“Amazing pizza! Nothing close even compares.“

“We love coming to 83 Tavern. We watch sports here but it’s not overwhelmingly loud. Perfect atmosphere, the food is incredible. Love the buffalo crisps. Can’t write a review without mentioning their martinis… amazing.
A little on the pricier end but definitely worth it! Becca was our waitress and she was super nice and attentive. Had a great time as always!“
