    "Meat lovers" pizza
    Jeff C.

    Chef came to our neighborhood and baked us some great pizzas. Best I've had in this area. The pizzas are so good and reasonable. Made and baked fresh in their portable wood fired grill.

    Gennaro makes the best pizza this side of Naples (Italy)!!! Go with an open mind though. This is not New York pizza. Neapolitan!

    Mobile pizza oven. Probably the best pizza you will ever have. They do not have a storefront, so seek them out where they are.

    Best wood fire pizza around. They were at Calusa Brewing, another great place, and they killed it with a pepperoni and mushroom pizza!

    Don't judge a book by its cover, you'll miss this place if you aren't looking for it. But trust me,…read moreyou do not want to miss it. 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.

    Overall pizza was very good! They must change the pepperoni they use as its way too salty!!! Please…read moreconsider Margarita Pepperoni sold in several Italian dellis in SRQ.

    Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Cafe was introduced to us by friends and family, and I'm really glad it…read morewas. 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.

Their wings get a special shoutout for being high quality and clearly fresh. We love their buffalo sauce as it stands out from the typical Franks used at most places. This past weekend we ordered pizza, wings and salad for the Fourth of July and were impressed by the consistent quality and time delivery even on a holiday. I would recommend this spot to locals!

The…read morestaff is wonderful, the food is deliciously prepared, and the place is comfortable and unpretentious. Love this for Sarasota. We've come to enjoy coming here when Doug is working. He's been here for some time now and it's great to see he's still at Bavaro's. What a great guy!! 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. We came for dinner on a cold night when the rain was blowing sideways outdoors. Our visiting family member had trouble going up and coming down the stairs. Sad really. The indoors on the first floor is very small and cramped.

    Absolutely terrible experience. The service was incredibly slow--we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes…read morejust for our food to arrive. When it finally came out, it was cold, which was extremely disappointing after such a long wait. To make matters worse, when we asked for a refund because the food was cold, the restaurant refused. One person in our party also chose not to eat their meal at all and sent it back untouched, yet they still refused to refund that meal as well. The lack of customer service and accountability was shocking. Waiting that long only to receive cold food, then having the restaurant refuse to make things right, is unacceptable. Unfortunately, we won't be returning and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

    I was stationed in NAPOLI for 3 years while serving in the United States Navy…read more I will be the first to tell you that most pizza restaurants are NOT even close to the authentic Neopolitan Pizza this restaurant makes. The ingredients are the reason this restaurant will become my go to place for AMAZING AUTHENTIC NAPOLITANO PIZZA in the future. While we tried the restaurant for the first time, I couldn't contain my enjoyment and while my wife and I were eating I played my favorite Italian music off my phone, as loud as I could, first (Tu Vuo Fa 'L' Americano), and then (NAPOLI) by Nino D'angelo. My wife was concerned with the volume as she thought it would upset the patrons and the restaurant staff, but it did the opposite....everyone was singing along with a smile on their face...recognizing that I was having the time of my life, bringing back memories of BELLA NAPOLI! Very authentic cuisine and excellent service!

    My wife took me to Bella Napoli this evening to celebrate Father's Day…read more We had 6:00 PM reservations for an inside table. We were seated in the back next to a serving/drinking station across from a group of 6 10 year old girls...whose parents were eating outside. The noise level was so unbearable that we asked to be moved outside, which they accommodated. But the noise level was strike number 1. After we were seated outside we waited. And waited. And waited more, roughly 20 minutes before we finally caught the attention of a waitress. Strike 2. My wife order the white bean soup for an appetizer and the Branzino. I ordered the special...Veal Osso Buco over risotto The white bean soup was delicious. 4 out of 5 stars. The Branzino was a little fishy tasting, which it should not. We order Branzino all the time and it's never tasted fishy. But the most disturbing part of the meal was the bait and switch using Pork in place of Veal for the Veal Osso Buco. Yes you read that right. It was Pork. Not Veal. The meat was gray, fatty and not very tender. Veal is tan or light brown, extremely tender and very lean. Charging $49.95 for Veal Osso Buco would have been reasonable. Trying to pass off Pork as Veal for that price is down-right criminal. Strike 3. AN ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! Response to Ceasar D: the parent's of the 6 little girls (who you must admit were quite loud and unsupervised) were sitting inside. All of the children's parents and some other adults, about 14 adults in total, were seated outside. So please don't try and pass this off as if they were celebrating Father's Day. They weren't even sitting with their "Fathers". It simply demonstrates poor restaurant management. The wait for a server outside was so long, my wife had actually suggested we leave. I truly wish we had. Regarding the Branzino, if it HAD been fresh it would not have tasted fishy! As for the Osso Buco, I'm a culinary expert and know the difference between Veal and Pork. I knew it was pork as soon as I tasted it! The fat was a dead giveaway. Perhaps now that this has been posted, you'll start using veal or be truthful and simply let your patrons know you're serving Pork Osso Buco! I stand by my original post.
