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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Eighty Three!!! FINALLY AN OUTSTANDING BRUNCH BUFFET.
Fantactic! The food quality was above and beyond every other place we've had, worth twice the price. Perfect atmosphere, friendly and obviously sincere staff, and service was outstanding.
Lauren,.our server was a gem!
Thanks Eighty Three for a great start to our Sunday.“

“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.“

“Its everything you want in a brewery with its beer selection plus a kitchen that matches their brew expertise. The beers are riddled with classic flavors you expect alongside really inventive and interesting flavor completely unique to this brewery that you won't find anywhere else. What's also refreshing is how well they have curated their menu to deliver a meal that is just as unique to them as their beer. Its a great option if your planning a gathering for a large group, we were a party of 8 and service didnt bat an eye handling us without a reservation.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 😊“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“We stopped by this Pizza Hut and had a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and our order came out fresh and hot. The pizza was made perfectly with plenty of toppings, the crust was just right, and everything tasted great. It’s hard to find a Pizza Hut that’s this consistent, but this location definitely stands out. Easily one of the best Pizza Huts in town—we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 .“
