10/10, Rocco and the crew do it again. Absolutely love the fresh bread, juicy chicken, and delicious marinara sauce! This is the 6-inch chicken parm I took to-go I also enjoy the eggplant appetizer, gluten-free pizzas, and of course, the tiramisu and cannoli (pictured) I've been a customer for years and Fresh Mozzarella never disappoints! read more

Absolute worst pizza ever !!! A frozen Walmart pizza is better. 60.00 for a large cheese and a medium mushroom, sausage, onion, green peppers. Was so bad through them both in the trash!!! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money!!! read more

*update - he refunded $8 which is not even 1/2 of the $19 he charges for the dish. He also tried saying it was my fault for altering the dish. All I asked was the extra sauce that goes on the pasta itself be put on the side. That does NOT have anything to do with how chicken parm is prepared. I'm very disappointed in not only the food but the response from Rocco, whoever he is. He should be ashamed of the food that was sent out. Its clear he doesnt care about carry out orders. Im sorry for trying them (I had a family member in the hospital). The only thing decent was the cannoli. Pictures and receipts of his response attached. - from an Italian (who knows how to cook) that is ashamed to think people go here and are served that ridiculousness. Im sure as in other reviews he'll want to pop off, reply and not take any responsibility whatsoever. read more

No ambience. Tasteless food. Bad service. What other reasons would you need to stay away?

Eaten here several times, it's normally incredibly mediocre but last night we ordered take out, we found several pieces of hair in our pizza. Not just sitting on top, but actually baked into the cheese. I called the next day to let the owner know. He said we must be very special because that's only happened twice in the last four years! Wow don't I feel special! I asked for a refund which he objected to and instead offered in store credit because it was easier than issuing the refund. I insisted we won't return and prefer a full refund. Owner called me back to let me know he generously provided a 90% refund on the order. We ordered one large bacon pizza with side of garlic. A sincere apology would have prevented this review but none was given so here is your hair pizza review Rocco! **** update**** The owner called me to complain about this review. read more

I cannot tell you how happy we were to find this place! The service was second to none! Fast and friendly! We arrived from Indiana with 4 adults and 6 foreign exchange students and we weren't sure what we wanted exactly. The server came right away and we ordered drinks, he gave us ample time and came back without us having to flag him down. We ordered and it was so fast coming out to our table! Delicious pizza, crust was great! Prices are awesome!! Give these guys a try! read more

Can't give it zero stars, or I would. Please don't try and eat this "food." I wouldn't serve the "Eggplant Parmigiana" to my dog. The pizza was burnt. Just don't do it! read more

Local spot in SRQ near downtown. I had worked up an appetite shredding the gnarly at Payne Park Skate Park right across the street on my preowned razor scooter, and had an urge for a sausage pizza.... I may be over 30 years old, but I still showed those 12 year olds how a real man scoots. Seriously though, one of the best pizza spots in Sarasota. Excellent service and is family owned. There's indoor seating, but it's mainly a take out spot. New York style pizza with thinner crust. Baked to perfection with a few charred spots on the bottom crust and a few dough bubbles that were charred on top. Because of the crispiness and baking perfection, the slices weren't too flaccid. I ate the entire pizza and didn't even take the time to take my knee pads and helmet off. read more

Having recently moved to near the downtown area of town, we were excited about finding new neighborhood food spots. We'd passed this lil pizza joint weekly so finally decided to give it a try. We went without checking reviews first and am glad we did. First impressions - definitely gives that "family run business" vibe, in a good way. Small, cramped entry but surprisingly roomy dining room. He was busy with a few takeout orders when we arrived, but he acknowledged us and had us grab a table. Apparently, he was shorthanded as although we heard another person's voice from the kitchen, we never saw anyone but the owner. He was preparing orders, cashiering, and serving. So, it took a bit before he was able to come take our orders. Roughly about 10-15 minutes. But we didn't hold it against him as he was hustling as fast as he could. There was another table with about 8 folks there ahead of us. After he took our orders (2 medium pizzas and sodas) it took around another 10-15 minutes for the food to come out. We both agreed it was worth the wait! The pizza was some of the best thin crust pizza I've had in a long while. The toppings were all fresh and flavorful. The crust was crisp with just enough chew. Great pizza! Also, the other table ordered several pasta dishes and they looked great also. The owner was very friendly and apologetic for being understaffed. The awesome pizza made up for any lil inconvenience we went through. Reading through the reviews after we got home, I honestly didn't see or experience any of the things people were complaining about. This is a local small restaurant with good food. Support them and get some pizza! read more

Absolutely the best cheese pizza I have ever eaten! great crust, tons of cheese, sauce in perfect amount and flavor. We called at almost closing on a Friday night and the owner not only brought our pizzas on his way home from work; he even included a free cannoli and cheese cake! Best cannoli I have ever tasted, it had a homemade shell tat was amazing. I didn't get a chance to taste the cheesecake but reports are very positive on that as well. read more

Adorable neighborhood pizzeria. Feels like family. Delicious, friendly and fun. Real Italian NY style. Mangia !

Rude staff , owner got mad that i asked about the 4$ service fee just for eating at his shop. I was the only one in the whole restaurant and didn't even get good service. Pizza is great but the Alfredo pasta tasted funny, tasted more like cheese whiz. When i told the owner that it didn't taste right he asked what it's supposed to taste like, i didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him it was the worst pasta i ever tasted so i said idk. Not sure why he was so pissed that day but yeah definitely not the friendliest staff. I'd recommend Marcos or Rico's. read more

Our friends ordered pizza and salads from Fresh Mozzarella Pizza and we were really impressed by the quality of the food. We keep recommended this place to our frinds and they all loved it.

Their pizza is so good. It's a thin crust without being like a cracker. The sauce is good. It was pretty filling. The owner is so sweet and has a wonderful voice and accent. I could listen to him all day! read more

Update: After eating here almost every Friday for 10 months it's seems like they have changed their pizza dough and it's just not the same. I thought it was a fluke but the last 3 times have been sub par. New owners possibly? Now the pizza is just ok.. read more

We got a meatball sub with provolone cheese, chicken Parm, Italian Sub. The owner is from Italy and he makes great food. The hoagie/ sub roll are freshly made. He's gonna put this place on the map. The food has the wow factor. read more

Fresh Mozzarella Pizzeria - Meatball sub - Pizza Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The staff was nice, the chicken wings were fine. The pizza was about the worst I have had since I ate at a place in Billings, Montana in 2017. The pizza crust was almost impossibly chewy. There was barlely any cheese. The sauce must have been put on with an eye dropper and they where stingy with the peperoni. A dry, chewy, flavorless pizza is not my idea of what pizza should be. Eating pizza on Halloween has been a tradition for over 25 years. This was the first time I wish I had started a different tradition I can not recommend this place for their pizza. Maybe other items on the menu are good, I have no idea; I have no desire or plans to find out. Just flat out disappointing. read more

People love to get serious about pizza, man. "I've been to New York," they might say to you. "Do you have any *good* pizza in Sarasota?" Take that person to Fresh Mozzarella. read more

We ordered delivery and the food showed up on time. Make sure to call into the restaurant to order for delivery so the restaurant gets more of the money and also arrives in a more timely manner. The order of mild wings were awesome, best part of the meal. I will definitely be ordering medium wings next time that I won't have to share them. Mild had very little kick as was expected but great flavor. Since it was delivered, bruschetta probably wasn't the best choice but it actually still turned out really good, just a little soggy which I can't say I'm surprised. Pizza was slightly above average but one of the better pizzas I've had in Sarasota. Nothing to write home about but it did the job. read more

Never disappointed with pizza from Fresh Mozzarella! We're very specific with our ny style pizzas and they do a great job

Order a Hawaiian pizza and it was wonderful delivered right on time and everything was perfect

This has become my new favorite pizza place in town. The crust is thin but not crunchy and the sauce is fantastic. The prices on pizza are VERY reasonable. I had the opportunity to meet Pietro last time I was in (I believe he is the owner) and he really went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the food. This is a pizza I find myself craving often and I am so glad they found their way to my neighborhood. Highly recommend the pizza! read more

A hidden gem- My wife and I are staying on Lido Beach for vacation. We were both craving a quality pizza and a nice wine for dinner. We have a tendency to be pizza and wine snobs so a generic tasteless chain pizza wasn't going to cut it. We gave Fresh Mozzarella a shot and we're glad we did! Fantastic crust and quality toppings, very authentic Italian. We also had a salad and my wife received a great recommendation from the owner for a house Cabernet that was a nice complement to the meal. If you appreciate quality ingredients and flavor this is your place in Sarasota for pizza! read more

Pretty good spot, it's a walk from work so that's convenient. I typically will grab a couple slices to go and it hits the spot. Owner seems to be there often and is friendly, welcoming environment! read more

First time trying this place out today. It did not disappoint. The classic cheese pizza was really good and the eggplant parm was amazing !

On a quick vacation with old friends from College, my buddy's wife Zina found this place driving around in the rental car. It didn't look like much from the road but inside very inviting, CLEAN, and great Italian authentic atmosphere and pictures! OWNER, waited on us five and pizza was great. I recommend a visit if ur in town. read more

We like their meatball subs. Homemade meatballs and bread. Hot and good every time. Other food looks good. Nice local shop and shop owner.

Poor quality food. They got it wrong twice. Mild is hot on wings . Dried out wings. Steak sub little meat. Chicken Parmesan was ok not enough sauce on pasta. I won't go back Uber Eats said they credit me bad or missing food. They did not. Neither would owner. Thumbs down read more

Don't go here-- worst restaurant experience I have ever had. The owner is unbelievably rude-- I was shocked. The pizza was cold and bland. Save yourself a lot of money and just get a frozen Totino's pizza at the grocery store, it's about the same quality. The marinara sauce tastes like it came right out of a jar of great value pasta sauce. This is the only 1- star review I have ever given BTW. read more

Overall a terrible experience. Placed an online order at 6pm on Sat night where the delivery time showed as 40 mins. Once the order was placed received notification it would not be delivered until 7:30! This was after paying a $13.95 delivery fee. Called the restaurant and asked to cancel and get a refund. The manager on duty assured me the order was on its way and would arrive much earlier than 7:31 and refused to cancel and refund the order. After many phone calls back and forth with the manager where he was extremely rude ( he kept call me back after hanging up on me) and a continuous ask to cancel the order and provide a refund the cold pizza arrives at 7:57. Do not recommend ever eating here given the way they treat customers. A read more

You only need one word to describe the people and food here and it's, Awesome! Stopped in and got a slice once and now this is my favorite and only pizza place. It is totally worth the 40 miles I drive just to get good pizza! read more

So good we ordered twice in one week! First we ordered pizza and caesar salad - dough was great, and the toppings were fresh. They were generous with the real deal parmesan on the salad. We then decided to try some of the other dishes - bruschetta (heaps of fresh tomato and garlic on great bread) a chicken parmesan sub (good sauce, great bread, solid amount of chicken and cheese) and the chicken wings were spot on! So happy they opened up in our neighborhood and will be making this a regular take out place! read more

So I tried it twice, hoping it'd be better the second time. I was disappointed. The first order was chicken marsala, it had a sweet taste and had a cinnamon flavor. Neither were appealing, I eat everything, and couldn't finish that. Tried again last night. We ordered lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs. The lasagna was a small portion, overcooked and very dry. It didn't taste awful, but it wasn't good either. My son ate the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were ok, but the sauce tasted like something plain out of a can, and had no seasoning. However, that was a good portion size, and luckily my son was hungry enough to finish it. Disappointed, was hoping I would only have one bad experience. read more

We had a great experience dining at Fresh Mozzarella. Our pepperoni and mushroom pizza was really good. Nice thin crust and very tasty. The only negative is that we like a crispier crust but it was still good. We dined early around 5:30 and the owner was attentive and helpful. Really liked the pizza. One of my favorites in Sarasota. read more
