Here's a polished review you can use: 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. read more

I want to apologize for the previous post on this establishment. My post was mixed up with another restaurant in a different city. I experienced excellent service, friendly staff and one bodacious Stromboli. I requested a slight modification by removing the peppers and replacing it with mustard. The cook nailed it to perfection. Again, please except my apologies. read more

Pizza Napoletana come si deve fare! We came to Antonio's Pizza Pit after a long day of walking, touring and doing a museum day in Sarasota. We were a pretty big group with lots of hungry children and adults. Emphasis on the hungry. Definitely came to the right place! When you first pull up, you can't really tell what you're getting into since from the outside it's pretty unassuming. Well, you're definitely in for a surprise. Not only is this a pizza shop but also your dessert spot! Hear me out: pizza AND donuts??? What other combo (besides bread and nutella) could there be?? Their personal pizza is the perfect size for you to enjoy alone (esp if you're hungry) but can also be shared if you're saving room for a craft donut. We were pretty hungry and each ordered a pizza: Quattro formaggi and a margherita (only $10). The pizza here is made only with the freshest ingredients and it's for sure some of the best authentic Italian pizza you will eat in the area. The place is simple: you order at the register, wait for Antonio to make his magic and sit at one of the tables. No waiters, no fuzz, just delicious high quality pizza. Absolutely obsessed with this place, our huge group loved it and it's absolutely worth every bite. From the labor of love it's made with to the ingredients to the caffè at the end. Be sure to save space for a donut from Jack's Donuts, they share counter space and you'll thank me later :) Grazie mille Antonio, sei stato bravissimo e ci siamo sentiti a casa con la pizza che ci hai fatto. Non vediamo l'ora di tornare. read more

Antonio, the owner & chef, was born and raised in Italy, near Naples, and has opened several pizza spots in Sarasota over the past few years. He's young, ambitious, and warm. He always smiles and laughs and uplifts you with his positive energy. Best customer service. All his food is carefully prepared with quality ingredients that speak for themselves. I'm not a pizza fan because carbs make me feel bloated and heavy. However, Antonio's food is an exception. His pizzas are Naples style pizzas. The dough is thin and light. Even for someone with carb sensitivity like myself can enjoy something so delicious without feeling horrible afterwards. His freshly made focaccia is also superb. You could ask for a custom pizzas and he'll gladly oblige your imagination. Will return every time I'm in Sarasota. Super casual space saves on rent. Food is as delicious as at his previous location. Bathrooms available on premises. read more

Trying this place for the first time. I'm a local and always looking for new places. I write this review with heavy heart. I really wanted to love this place. My wife went in and was very happy with the service. Very friendly and a clean establishment. She explained that we would like a crispy pizza with no flop. They said over and over that I got you. I got you. The other employee said our pizzas have no flop. See the pictures below. The good thing is, the flavor was delicious. But when you ask for crispy, you expect some crunchy crust and a good undercarriage. It had neither and we were very disappointed. I could understand if we didn't ask for that specifically. But my wife did, and we are very disappointed in the final product. They use turbo chef pro ovens there that cook pizza perfectly if you know how to use them. I can honestly say that I will not return. read more

It was a perfect 2 topping extra cheese. Pizza. Right amount of everything, great sauce, fantastic crust

Pleasantly surprised at with the pizza. I ordered a cheese and pepperoni pizza. It was pretty good for Neapolitan pizza. Nice tangy sauce, spicy pepperoni and good crust. Wish the crust was crispier, but overall a good pizza. read more

After finally finding excellent Pizza a few years ago at Atmosphere; only to then be disappointed when they closed, we had to start the search, again. We found a few places where we found the pies acceptable, but not great. Then we saw an add for Jacks Donuts that included Antonio's who made the Pizza at Atmosphere. We are again happy campers and hope we no longer have to search, again. And, best yet, he is only a 15 min. Drive from home. If you like real Italian pizza, it won't disappoint. Ed W. read more

GREAT PIZZA, REASONABLE PRICE, SUPER FRIENDLY PROPRIETOR, Antonio. This was my first time to Antonio's, I live 5 mins away, and I'll definitely be going back. The pizza is right on - just what you would get in Italy. You have to like thin crust. the sauce and crust are super flavorful. I got the 5 Seasons - ham, artichoke, mushroom, etc. i would for sure recommend it. Thank you, Antonio. and the donuts sold next door are pretty damned good too. read more

The pizza is very good. If I were to go to Italy, I believe that this is what it would taste like. Also Antonio was very nice

Excellent pizza. Antonio is very personable and makes your pizza quickly as you wait. No frill ambiance. Will be back.

Antonio was great. Pizza was delivered quickly and was delicious. Just enough room for a pastry for dessert. Will definitely return

Delicious Pizza, good price and good service, convenient to order and pick up. Donuts also are available at late night.

Amazing pizza. Quick service. A happy environment. This is my go to when I get a pizza craving.

Very pleasantly surprised. He made me a fresh 4 cheese pie in less than five minutes and it was delicious. I think it was the owner who served me. He was super nice. Restaurant was super clean. Plenty of parking too. read more

The pizza is straight up firepower and I highly suggest checking it out .... the staff that works there are top notch in every way possible. If you're looking for a real legit pizza joint Antonio's is the best spot by a long shot! The dough and ingredients are 100% better than your typical big chain crap that you might be used to ... please go check it out you will NOT regret it. read more

Good pizza with a nice crust. Service was quick. Decor is very minimal in a shared space with a donut shop, probably best for takeout.

Fantastic, authentic, Neopolitan style pizza. All fresh ingredients including fresh basil on top. I stop in on my way home - order when I get there, watch Antonio make my custom pizza and leave within minutes! read more

Great pizza. Thin, delicious dough crust. Browning just right. Not soggy and ready on time! Price perfect.

Love Antonio's pizza. Perfect in every way and Antonio puts his love in every piece.

Not good pizza, not Neapolitan, no brick oven. Would be better off at 7/11 if I'm being honest.
