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.

Went to go pick up and they were ready like they said they'd be. The pickup area was at the bar which was fine, people already chillin and having some Sat night beers. I had meant to order a Detroit stle vs. the Sicilian but that was on me cus I forgot to ask if they even have D style. Overall seems like a solid place and the pizza was good but not epic!

What he produces out of his food truck is simply amazing. This is one of our stops Saturday mornings during the Farmer's Market in Sarasota. His first question is always, "you're going to I eat it here, right?" Absolutely legit and I can see why. It's incredible right out of the oven! With that being said, we couldn't finish it and took the rest home. The pizza was still a 9. Do yourself a favor and eat a few slices on site to appreciate it. A must stop at the Sarasota Farmer's Market. We need to venture out to Sun King Brewery where his truck is located. A slam dunk must stop!

I visited them on a Thursday night and the staff was very friendly and Dan helped me pick out two pizzas. I went with the pepperoni and the special. The pizzas did take a little longer than expected but there is lots of seating and the outdoor atmosphere is very nice. There is even an indoor pub area! The pizzas, particularly the special was incredible!!! Would highly recommend!

We shared the almond ricotta triangoli, which were amazing, such delicate flavor, the chef knows how to make vegetarian food taste very good.

The waitress was very friendly and helpful with answering all my questions. 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

Here's a polished review you can use:…read more If you're in Sarasota and craving great pizza, don't let the modest appearance of Antonio's Pizza Pit fool you--this place is a hidden gem. The pizza comes out fast with a perfectly thin crust, a slightly smoky flavor, and just the right balance of crisp and chew. It's simple, classic, and done really well. One of the best surprises is that they share space with a donut shop, so dessert is literally just a few steps away--perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Antonio himself is incredibly friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, delivering the kind of personal service that keeps people coming back. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. Absolutely worth the stop if you're looking for delicious, no-frills pizza in town.

I'm not one to give out 5 starts just for fun, but Ripfire has earned it. First, let's be clear:…read moreit's a casual eatery on an island. So the 5 stars are reflective of that. Each time we've eaten at Ripfire, we've had success. They begin by importing specific flour from Italy, and all of the ingredients are made in house. The delicious tangy sauce that's used is made daily from San Mariano tomatos- also imported from Italy. Yes, please. The crispy crust and ooey gooey cheese create the perfect combination of fresh and delicious. Our go to pizzas are usually the margherita and a pepperoni, mushroom situation. Delicious- every time. Pair a pizza with a fresh Caesar salad from there and you're hard to beat a better comfort meal. You can people watch by bellying up to the outdoor eating area that faces the street, or sit inside while still enjoying the view. Reasonable pricing, an assortment of beverages, great atmosphere and friendly service combined with consistent and flavorful food are what'll keep us going back to Ripfire.

Gabrielle has been another staff member that goes well above and beyond to make sure our dining experience is wonderful. *my only concern is that there is no elevator to accommodate ADA guests upstairs.

Of course he forgot to order my pasta, so he rushed it through the kitchen. Undercooked pasta, but the sauce was hot. Very disappointed as the food can be good but the service staff needs better direction from management. I thought service staff would have been a lot better. It's not worth it to go there and get bad service. 2 1/2 hours there to eat! Thank goodness we had good company with us.
