Wife and I stopped here on the way to siesta key because we saw it was was on the Michelin guide. I would recommend making this a stop as food was great and definitely has a menu that wants us to try more next time we're in the area. We ordered the caesar salad, funghi artisan pizza, polenta fried chicken, and the meatballs. Caesar salad was amazing! I love caesar salad and this is in my top 3. My only regret was not adding the parmesan chicken. Funghi pizza was fantastic and was perfect as a artisan pizza. We're not always fans of Detroit pizza style so love you can get any pizza as an artisan round pizza Meatballs were good, loved the creamy polenta and complemented the marina and meatball perfectly. The polenta friend chicken was our least favorite. Chicken was very fried and sometime to tough to eat. Sounded good on menu but was not our fav. Other then that everything else was good and we definitely want to go back to try different things. read more

We used to go to 99 bottles for Anthony"s pizza , but when he opened in Gulf Gate the first time we weren't fans.... scroll forward to this new place and have to say it's def the best pizza in town Again ! Terrific flavors and crust (we had hot honey pepperoni and the funghi (mushroom) with sausage). Panda Cotta for dessert - very well done. It's at the top of my local pizza list !! The place was well appointed and a proper dining area nicely decorated and subdued. Music was a bit loud, but manageable. Service was informed and friendly. read more

Everything went perfect since the service the Caesar salad and the round pizza all fantastic and to close the night, the tiramisu for two really good. Truly, a Hidden gem. read more

Located in Gulf Gate among many other pizza restaurants. We started out with a Caesar Salad that was covered with finely shredded cheese. Excellent! They have two types of pizza an Artisan and a Sicilian. I opted for the Sicilian with cup char pepperoni and a honey tomato sauce. The sauce was too tomatoey for my taste and there was much pepperoni so it was hard to taste it. The crust was ok and the edges had baked cheese . Can't say I enjoyed the pizza.My wife ordered Chicken Parm. A huge piece of breaded chicken covered with sauce and cheese. The chicken was very tender and she enjoyed the dish. Service was very good and just a very plain interior with high top tables and regular tables. I will return and try the Artisan pizza to see if I like it better.. read more

Highly recommend this place, the pizza is delicious. We were stopping by siesta key and found this pizza place on Google with great reviews. My absolute favorite pizza is Detroit style. We got a regular vodka pizza with caramelized onions and a Detroit style with meatballs and ricotta. They originally forgot our ricotta which isn't a big deal. The regular pizza with the vodka sauce was OUTSTANDING. 10/10 would get again. I was unsure if I would like the vodka sauce on pizza but it was so good! The crust was fluffy and delicious- just how I like it. The Detroit style, unfortunately, didn't impress me as much as the regular pizza. I love red sauce, but their marinara was not my favorite- slightly sweet but lacked depth. The whole pizza just didn't have as much flavor as I would like. It was not terrible but I would probably opt for a different type of Detroit (maybe vodka) or just go for the regular pizza. Still VERY solid choice if you're in the area! read more

Good pizza and attentive service. Busy in summer means good ambiance. We will go again!!

This pizza was absolutely top notch. The dough was a perfect moist sourdough and the sauce was very sweet and fresh. Only con is the wait time, but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

Tralia Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Stopped here for lunch.. wow, Amazing! I wanted to order so many things but it was just me this time so I will definitely be back! The provolone rings is their take on Mottz sticks and was severed with vodka sauce, extremely good. The Detroit "Slice" of Roni and Honey was absolutely deliciousness in every bite and yes I ate the whole thing.. the mini pepperonis, the sweet sauce, the spicy hot honey, perfect amount of cheese and I have no idea what or how they do the unique crust all around but it was perfection. Great job to the chefs!! Also staff and server at the bar was very nice and friendly :) read more

Best gourmet pizza in Sarasota, hands down. I have been a native of Sarasota for 30 plus years and I have seen great pizza joints go out of business. The selection has been so disappointing the last few years, especially in the Gulf Gate area, but Tralia has taken our #1 spot for delicious and fresh ingredient pizza. It is worth every penny. The NY style crust is flakey and crispy. The Detroit style is super crunchy and fulfills my old craving for Pizza Hut pan crust pizza but of course with super high quality ingredients and toppings. Everything we have tried on the menu has been delicious. When we want a fast, mid grade pizza we order Sals or Demetrio's but when we want a treat we order Tralia. read more

WOW...that's was our experience today at Tralia. We arrived at 11 and was greeted by our server Abbi. We opted for 2 pizzas to try both styles: 1 Classic Round and 1 Detroit style Supreme. The classic arrived 1st and we immediately noticed the fresh tomato sauce, perfect amount of cheese and the airest crust I have ever had. This pizza was one of the best I've ever had. Then came the Detroit Supreme. Our 1st Detroit style pie we have ever had. If they all are half as good as this one I'm sold. This version has sausage, mushrooms, peppers, char pepperoni and cheese. The crust was thick but very light. The cheese "crust" was crispy and delish. This place is now on our permanent pizza rotation. Abbi gave us some suggestions for non-pizza entrees. I'll save those for my next review. Bravo! read more

When this place is closed and dingy, people will say " That place used to be good & very popular" If you have to shut down taking orders both on line and by phone, then it's time to hire more help! Even the mighty fall if they don't pay attention to basics read more

Great pizza place...relaxed, great service, attentive staff, nice background music, comfortable chairs...all in all was a great experience that started with a GREAT Caesar Salad (the pizza was ok, a bit tomatoei) which we plan to fix by trying the white pizza next time! Did not like the tiramisu though (but that's extra) We definitely recommend this place!!! read more

We had a group of 6 adults and 6 kids, so a larger party, but the experience got off to a rough start. The hostess/server immediately commented that we should have made a reservation, even though the restaurant was nearly empty and we were seated right away. Unfortunately, we then waited about an hour and a half for our pizzas. We were eventually told there was an issue with the dough and that our order had to be remade. To their credit, they gave us a beer on the house, and the pizza itself was very good once it arrived. That said, the combination of the unfriendly welcome and the extremely long wait made for a frustrating experience. While the food was good, I don't see myself returning and would probably just order takeout if I wanted their pizza again. read more

Fantastic GF cauliflower crust and deep dish for the celiac family. Amazing ingredients. Super tasty find and I hope it's there next time we come to Siesta Key. read more

What a great find! Arrived a few minutes before our reservations and ended up at the bar. Decided to just stay there, was a great choice. Host was fantastic making drink recommendations and a couple mocktails for our girls. Convo was great with the bartenders, but the food was better!! Only critique is the limited number of pasta dishes if you're not in the mood for pizza. More is not always better. Not normally a vodka sauce guy, great choice. Mrs DMo had the truffle mac & cheese, again usually not a fan, was amazing! Mini Me loved the pizza. Great ambiance, they know exactly who they are. We will be back! read more

Tralia Pizza - Carryout meatballs on a pillow of mascarpone polenta. Ohmygoodness!!! I also had the Caesar salad that was excellent! - Pizza Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Although there are so many pizza places to choose from in Gulf Gate, Tralia is amazing and is definitely one of the top! Our server was extremely sweet and genuine. The menu had a ton of red and white pizzas to choose from, all of which can be ordered as Detroit-style or round. We ordered a cheese round pizza and vodka sauce Detroit-style. The round pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice blistering on the crust, and the Detroit-style's edging was lined with crispy, melted cheese! I definitely plan to go back and try more flavors. read more

Good pizza. HORRIBLE service!! Place is too small and the booths are so uncomfortable and not a kid friendly place at all! Got there promptly for our reservation, we wanted a booth for three people that we asked for on the reservation..when we got there they said they overbooked their reservations and they were a little behind, but then in the same breath, they sat people that did not have a reservation at all so right away I felt super disrespected, and then they sat us in a booth where my toddler kept sliding off dangerously because the booth is so high up off the ground then I asked to be moved to the corner booth, and after some hesitation from them, I finally just made the decision myself to get us up and move us to the booth because I have had enough and the waitress was absolutely horrible. She never even asked my husband if he wanted a second glass of wine or checked on us throughout our meal we had to constantly ask for her service. I don't know her name and she didn't really introduce herself and she came over to the table super rudely when we first got seated, only way to identify her I is she has tattoos on her neck, especially the back of her neck to be honest both waitresses were horrible and they didn't even provide new plates when we ordered more food and I had to ask for a plate for my child like come on now... Unfortunately, because of how bad it was, we will never be back here and then at the end of the meal she tried to be super nice because of course she wanted a tip the waitress.. and then told us to wait a little bit because our brownie was coming out for our anniversary. Let me just tell you that brownie was absolutely horrible. It was cold. It was thick and crumbly and you should be ashamed at putting out food like that and your macaroni and cheese with truffle was absolutely horrible as well. Never again. Thanks for nothing! read more

Completely lived up to the hype. Recommend to make a reservation multiple days before. The Detroit style pizza is amazing.

Cockroach on the wall behind our table twice, the OWNER killed it and all we got was sorry. Nothing was taken off the check and there was not urgency to help us out at customers. The owner also said the place is clean but then stated that they have the back door to the alley open for cockroaches to get in. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night and the place was already filling up - always a good sign. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and friendly hostess who made us feel right at home. The interior is clean and inviting, with plenty of tables and some bar seating in front of the beer taps. I especially loved the elevated tables along the wall, giving you a great view of the restaurant. Now let's talk about the food. Holy wow. We ordered the Detroit 'Roni with hot honey and were absolutely mind blown. The sourdough-based crust was everything you want in a Detroit-style pie--perfectly crisped on the outside, yet soft, warm, and fluffy inside. That kind of consistency is hard to pull off, but they nailed it. The sweet tomato sauce, layered over crispy pepperoni and finished with a drizzle of hot honey, was a flavor bomb in the best way. Next time, I'm definitely adding jalapeños. We also tried the polenta wings, and I can't even begin to explain how good they were--you just have to experience them. The crispy polenta coating was light and flavorful without that greasy fried taste, and the chicken inside was juicy and cooked to perfection. The homemade buffalo sauce might be a top 5 of all time for me--super thick, rich, and so good I could've eaten it with a spoon. Pair that with their chunky, fresh blue cheese dressing and... wow. Their beer selection is solid and reasonably priced, rounding out an already amazing meal. There aren't many standout pizza joints in the area, but Tralia has undoubtedly earned its spot on that list. We'll be back again, and again, and again. read more

We went on a crazy busy night. They did not have enough servers and we were there at the table over two hours. Service was hectic, but friendly. I had heard that the pizza was supposed to be among the best in Sarasota, but it fell short to me. Very bland and more like a flatbread than an actual pizza. Maybe I'll try again when they are better staffed, but I did not feel it lived up to the local hype at all. read more

Hands-down the Best Italian Food in Sarasota! I visited Sarasota for a month and had just about given up on finding good pizza, after trying three different spots that all missed the mark. Then I stumbled across Tralia on DoorDash, and it was a total game-changer. I ordered the Classic Detroit Pizza, assuming that Sarasota maybe just didn't "do" pizza right. Turns out, the other places don't, and thankfully, Tralia absolutely does. My best friend came to visit for three nights, and we ended up eating at Tralia every single day. Yes, it's that good. So good that she took 4 pizzas on the plane with her back to Texas. HA! Some of what we tried: * Caesar Salad - Fresh, crisp, perfectly balanced dressing * Hot Honey Pizza - Sweet, spicy, and totally addictive * Detroit Classic - Pillowy crust, out of this world red sauce, and just the right amount of cheese that crisps along the edges in the most magical way. **Do yourself a favor and get a side of the Fennel Pollen Ranch for dipping * Ricotta Meatballs - Tender, juicy, full of flavor, nestled on the most delicate plantain goodness and topped with their fantastic marinara sauce. If they haven't sold out when you are there, this dish is a must-have * Calamari - crispy and seasoned to perfection The cocktails were fantastic, and the staff was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. You can tell they care about the food and the customer experience. Major shoutout to the chef, who is insanely talented. If I could, I'd open a Tralia in North Texas. You are sitting on a gold mine!!! If I had to change one thing, I'd say the Cabernet wine selection could be better...but honestly, that's just me trying to find something to critique. Final Thoughts: Tralia is hands-down the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. If you're in Sarasota and you like pizza, pasta, or anything Italian, do yourself a favor and eat here. HIGHLY recommend to anyone with taste buds. read more

Perfect, unique pizza. One of the best we aver had. Great job! Keep it up! Probably the best pizza in Sarasota.

We drove an hour to try the Detroit pizza, it was amazing. We will definitely be going back.

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Very clean and inviting environment. Clean restrooms. Pizza was very good. Not great, but food is very subjective. We had the Detroit style pizza, which was very good. Depending how you like your sauce, you may enjoy it or not enjoy it. It's very sweet and tomato heavy and some people like more of a savory garlic type of sauce. The crust is magnificent. A little light on the toppings, but the price is good. You're welcome. read more

Very flavorful pizza! We did takeout. Detroit pizza retreated very well in our toaster oven. Wonderful crispy edged crust! Great sauce! Great toppings! Looks like they misunderstood our order and both our pizzas ended up big Detroit style instead of one of each - oh well.
