    Xtra cheese pepperoni

    Food is always good and the owner is so sweet! Thin crust and definitely fresh mozzarella!!

    John H.

    Eaten here several times, it's normally incredibly mediocre but last night we ordered take out, we found several pieces of hair in our pizza. Not just sitting on top, but actually baked into the cheese. I called the next day to let the owner know. He said we must be very special because that's only happened twice in the last four years! Wow don't I feel special! I asked for a refund which he objected to and instead offered in store credit because it was easier than issuing the refund. I insisted we won't return and prefer a full refund. Owner called me back to let me know he generously provided a 90% refund on the order. We ordered one large bacon pizza with side of garlic. A sincere apology would have prevented this review but none was given so here is your hair pizza review Rocco! **** update**** The owner called me to complain about this review.

    Burnt pizza.

    Can't give it zero stars, or I would. Please don't try and eat this "food." I wouldn't serve the "Eggplant Parmigiana" to my dog. The pizza was burnt. Just don't do it!

    Delicious crispy crust

    Local spot in SRQ near downtown. I had worked up an appetite shredding the gnarly at Payne Park Skate Park right across the street on my preowned razor scooter, and had an urge for a sausage pizza.... I may be over 30 years old, but I still showed those 12 year olds how a real man scoots. Seriously though, one of the best pizza spots in Sarasota. Excellent service and is family owned. There's indoor seating, but it's mainly a take out spot. New York style pizza with thinner crust. Baked to perfection with a few charred spots on the bottom crust and a few dough bubbles that were charred on top. Because of the crispiness and baking perfection, the slices weren't too flaccid. I ate the entire pizza and didn't even take the time to take my knee pads and helmet off.

    Having recently moved to near the downtown area of town, we were excited about finding new neighborhood food spots. We'd passed this lil pizza joint weekly so finally decided to give it a try. We went without checking reviews first and am glad we did. First impressions - definitely gives that "family run business" vibe, in a good way. Small, cramped entry but surprisingly roomy dining room. He was busy with a few takeout orders when we arrived, but he acknowledged us and had us grab a table. Apparently, he was shorthanded as although we heard another person's voice from the kitchen, we never saw anyone but the owner. He was preparing orders, cashiering, and serving. So, it took a bit before he was able to come take our orders. Roughly about 10-15 minutes. But we didn't hold it against him as he was hustling as fast as he could. There was another table with about 8 folks there ahead of us. After he took our orders (2 medium pizzas and sodas) it took around another 10-15 minutes for the food to come out. We both agreed it was worth the wait! The pizza was some of the best thin crust pizza I've had in a long while. The toppings were all fresh and flavorful. The crust was crisp with just enough chew. Great pizza! Also, the other table ordered several pasta dishes and they looked great also. The owner was very friendly and apologetic for being understaffed. The awesome pizza made up for any lil inconvenience we went through. Reading through the reviews after we got home, I honestly didn't see or experience any of the things people were complaining about. This is a local small restaurant with good food. Support them and get some pizza!

    Rude staff , owner got mad that i asked about the 4$ service fee just for eating at his shop. I was the only one in the whole restaurant and didn't even get good service. Pizza is great but the Alfredo pasta tasted funny, tasted more like cheese whiz. When i told the owner that it didn't taste right he asked what it's supposed to taste like, i didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him it was the worst pasta i ever tasted so i said idk. Not sure why he was so pissed that day but yeah definitely not the friendliest staff. I'd recommend Marcos or Rico's.

    Medium pepperoni. Forgot to take the picture from the beginning but, you get the idea.

    Update: After eating here almost every Friday for 10 months it's seems like they have changed their pizza dough and it's just not the same. I thought it was a fluke but the last 3 times have been sub par. New owners possibly? Now the pizza is just ok..

Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and whether you sit inside or outside, you're in for something special. Now for the best part... the pizza. We eat pizza about once a week and it's my husband's favorite food. We brought our granddaughter with us, and pizza is her favorite too. She immediately knew what she wanted: mushrooms and pepperoni. Done. As for us? We had no idea where to start. We ordered the Wise Guy: vodka sauce base, sesame seed crust, spicy soppressata, ricotta, fresh basil, and Calabrian chili hot honey. We also asked our server for their favorite recommendation and ordered the Vodka-Roni: vodka sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, burrata cheese, and fresh basil. Were we dreaming? This is hands down the best pizza we have ever had anywhere in the world. New York pizza? Sorry... step aside. You've officially been removed from our top three. They are now #1. This was the most flavorful pizza we have ever eaten. I'm usually not particularly picky about pizza. My husband, however, is a pizza connoisseur. Going forward, every pizza will now be judged against these. We live in Polk City and only travel down this way every few months or so, but this place is now officially a destination. We would absolutely go out of our way for this pizza. And can we talk about the sesame seed crust? Where have you been all my life? Absolute genius. The staff were incredibly kind, full of suggestions, helpful with leftovers, and made the experience even better. And finally... the chocolate-dipped cookies. Wow. Some places serve pizza. This place serves an experience.

This is only the second time we've seen our 5-year-old completely devour an entire pizza--once in California and now here in Florida. Considering we live in what's supposedly the pizza capital of NYC, that probably says more than anything else about this place. The service was great. Everyone was genuinely kind, and since our friends and family are regulars, they were greeted like old friends and we were welcomed just as warmly. The pizza itself was excellent. Even the basic cheese pizza stood out, which is usually the real test. We also ordered the 1837 and a jalapeño pizza, and everything was demolished without hesitation. We also noticed a solid beer selection, and everyone seemed to be enjoying theirs as well. You order at the bar and they bring the food out, and there's also outdoor seating which looked really nice. Looking forward to going back on our next visit to Sarasota.

We ordered 2 glasses of pinot noir which were decent, fried artichoke hearts for the appetizer and two pizzas one cheese and one with garlic, cheese, and little chilies. The appetizer was really good but I think it could have been elevated a notch if the dip was more of a lemon base dipping sauce. The pizzas were both thin and very tasty, nice tomato base, I liked the little difference of crust (thin & crunchy) compared to your normal softer crust on an Italian wood fired pizza. I like when I'm able to have preferences on pizza crusts on any given day. I would like to go back and try something else next time to see what this little spot has to offer. Overall it was a good experience and we will try it again in the future. Food 8.0 Atmosphere 8.0 Service 9.0
