Pizza was just dried out like a cracker. I like thin pizza but this seems as though it's been in the warmer for days. Not good Then the wine cooler made the champagne splits luke warm. Employees were quite rude about it and treated us nothing like paying customers. Avoid this place. read more

Last weekend (10/13) the wife and I went on our monthly get-a-way and decided on Siesta Key, have not been there in a while and lot has changed. We stayed at the only hotel on the island and that place has changed as well. It now has a bar and a food truck that parks on the side, didn't eat there but thought it was convenient nun-the less. After an afternoon of walking the strip and day drinking it was time for some pie. After checking in on some of the pizza joints, none of which served slices, we found this place on one of the side streets. It really needs to be on the strip and exposed. It was late in the evening and was surprised by the selection. Decided on pepperoni and jalapeno slices. The slices were thin and crispy, good cheese and sauce. The place has plenty of seating inside and out. Next time when we're down that way I will have to get in there early in the day and try a sandwich. All in all, if your looking for a slice and not a whole pie, this is the place. Give it try and see what you think, peace. read more

Terrible. Was way overpriced. Pizza was no good. Paper thin with very skimpy toppings. For $30. Forget it. There was more meat on my sandwiches when I was in prison. read more

Not too impressed As soon as you walk in there is a display case of pizzas for pizza by the slice. They looked like they had been there a long time. My thought of having pizza slipped away. Maybe if you warmed them up and saw them under better lighting they would be more appealing. Lot of the reviews for their pizza rate them high, so maybe if they were busier with customers and more pizza turnover my first impression would have been different. Instead of pizza my wife and I had sandwiches, mine their Italian Sub. It was good, soft bread, good size, but minimal ingredients. Nothing to write home about but here I am writing about it. It looks like they only offer one size pizza, quite large, one of the other reviews says 18". I can't say I was impressed with the place. It was kind noisy inside, not customer noise but fan noise, equipment noise, music beat noise. They have a few tables inside and a couple more outside, including a picnic table. That would have been a better choice. I thought the place was kind of a dive, tables that needed to be wiped off, grey concrete floor, some old photos, nothing looked clean or new except the drink coolers that lined much of the wall. One last thing, I noticed after I got home, I was charged a convenience fee of 3.99%. Was this because I used a credit card? I don't know, I didn't notice any sign and there is nothing about it on their paper menu I took home. Also nothing on their website. I would have paid cash if it was a credit card service fee, had I known. I'm not talking big money here, but if I'm earning 1% rewards on my card and you are charging me 4%, I actually want to know. And I blame the restaurant if I don't. read more

IL Panificio - Italian Sub - Delis Near Me - Siesta Key, Florida

I came here based on reading the reviews and it's in a good location in downtown Siesta Key. I ordered the full Greek Salad which is very reasonably priced at $9. They didn't know if the dressing was gluten free so I didn't have it but otherwise the salad was delicious. My grandparents loved their salads as well. The staff is friendly, service is fast, and there is seating inside and outside. read more

The pizza is great. We order large pepperoni and onion w/ extra cheese. They do have a pricing thing. It has been kicked up and is a bit steep $39 read more

Ordered a fresh pizza - half pepperoni half meat lovers. Got 4 individual slices at the end of the night. We u pay for a full pizza- u want a freshly cooked one read more

'This pizza place had excellent service from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza, and it was delicious--great flavor, perfectly cooked crust, and just the right amount of spice. You can tell they care about both their food and their customers. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for good pizza and great service. read more

Always good, fast and friendly. Probably the cheapest food option on Siesta, as well.

The best pizza on Siesta Key! We order and pick-up several pies EVERY Saturday evening. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know what the cost is going to be, since there is NO consistency in pricing and charges. We always pay cash to avoid the 'convenience fees' and now are getting charged a convenience fee for cash as well. What gives? Securing a paper receipt seemed to be a real chore for the staff. Seems that makes it too easy to verify what we are being charged. Tried reaching out to owners/management to get some clarification but either staff is completely clueless or doesn't WANT us to share our experience in a private manner with the management/owners. 'Family Owned' might want to get their house in order before losing more regular season AND off-season business. read more

Best pizza ever! Crust was on point and amazing selection!! We highly recommend! We have been here twice already this week!!

Read a bunch of reviews for pizza joints on Siesta Key, and they were all over the place when it came to who had consistently good pie. This place didn't have many reviews, but the handful of positive reviews were convincing. I ordered for carry out, it was ready right when I arrived, just coming out of the oven, and it looked amazing. The staff was friendly and engaging, despite being extremely busy. Salads are fresh with plenty of quality toppings and dressing. They have a different take on bruschetta, I didn't care for it, but my wife and daughters did. The pies are big-18", wedge cut, 8 slices. Great crust, thin but not to thin and they crisp them up. I meant to ask for well done, but always forget. It's like they read my mind. Had the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken pie. Really good flavor. Also got a Sicilian Meat pizza, incredible!!!! Thicker crust, 2 actually, in rectangular shape, great toppings, great sauce, I ate too much. I had good luck, and usually I've got the luck of the Irish which is none at all. I highly recommend trying this place. They even do by the slice and have carry out alcohol!!! read more

Best pizza I've found in Sarasota. Crispy crust, tasty sauce and fresh ingredients. The service was fast and pizza was hot and ready in 10 minutes. read more

Five stars for the food. The family and I have sample pizza pretty much everywhere here in town and this would be my only five star review. Lots of others at 4.5 or 4 but Panificio takes the prize for best, most consistent, most crave worthy pie in town. It's crispy, perfect crust, just right sauce and solid performance on toppings is virtually a lock for my kids screaming at least once a week that 'it's time'. Panificio, both locations, are surprisingly exceptional for Sarasota. Dave Portnoy!! Bring it on down. read more

I didn't care for it. It had a thin crust which I knew but the pizza lacked flavor. I think it is geared more towards a NYC pie but it lacked the NYC flavor. I only tried it once, so hopefully others have tried and had a better experience. Workers were very kind. read more

I've been ordering from this place for 3 years every other week. I was shocked when they took the $24 Pizza I was ordering and jacked it up to $32. That is more than a 30% increase. When I asked them to see the menu they said they don't have one . So basically they can tell you whatever price they want to get when they want to get it. Their Pizza is average, just like everybody else's on Siesta key. I've lived on the key for 30 plus years. I'm telling all the people I know to stay away from this place. I am also reporting them to the Fair Trade Bureau of Florida for improper retail trade. read more

Best Pizza on Siesta Key. Not only that, probably the best pizza they've ever had on Siesta Key. Crust is kind of a thin sourdough. Ordered extra crispy, and it was crispy all the way into the point. So delicious, go try it right away! read more

I was waiting in line, and they serviced someone that was behind me instead. Like I wasn't just waiting in line the whole time. That's crazy. I don't recommend this place & this was my first time coming here. Take your business somewhere else. read more

Had pizza delivered to the beach, awesome service. Pizza and wings were incredible! Would definitely order again! read more

The sauce was so bland, it almost tasted watered down. It could have been cooked a bit longer. The crust was not quite done.

Pretty good thin crust pizza. We had pepperoni and mushrooms one one, and bacon on a second one, and both were very good. They allowed us to add a third pizza a bit late, but all we're ready on time. This is a step up from the previous place, which had good pizza, but also fairly consistent customer relations issues. read more

Great pizza by the slice or whole pie! Easy carry out or eat at the small tables outside. Nothing fancy- just good!

Morn I usually get a pizza from the Il Pacifico one the Gulf Gate area. I decided to try the one on Siesta Key. What a disappointment. The pizza was covered in grease and burnt on the bottom. #sad I think a frozen pizza would have tasted better. read more

Greek was amazing, however the pizza was a fail. Crust was chewy, not enough sauce, cheese tasted bad, and no sausage that we ordered.

We came here three times while on our week vacation. It's seriously that good. Pizza is probably some of the best I have ever had. Service was phenomenal. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing! This from pizza efficianados and lovers from the northeast! Lovers of real pizza. Great friendly and fast service! Delicious! Ordered from them several times during our week here in Siesta Key and they have several area locations! read more

Worst pizza ever , paper thin , chewy seemed undercooked hard to tear off a bite , no taste at all in sauce , skimpy on meat. The "pasta" was undercooked ziti noodles not traditional fettuccini and chicken looked frozen thawed with brown spots , all sold as "chicken Alfredo" also mozzarella sticks definitely frozen fried. $60 worth of food that went into the trash. Not the vacation meal I was expecting. read more

Stopped on a recommendation from another vendor in the village and so glad we did! Best thin crust and so many choices!! Nick took care of us and then recommended his family's other restaurant on the mainland- Off the hook! read more

We needed a Pizza on our vacation in Siesta Key. Yelp showed a few places with mixed reviews, so we decided to try Il Panificio and we are very happy we did. We selected the Grilled Chicken white pizza and it was fantastic. Being a yankee I like a thicker crust, but this was one of the best thin crust pizzas I've had - and the better half loved it too. read more

Worst service. Took over an hour to get 3 pizzas to go. Kitchen staff was completely disorganized.
