Local Pizza - Brick oven pizza oven! - Pizza Near Me - Osprey, Florida

The best pizza in town! Both the red and white pizzas are so delicious! Thin crust. Bursting with flavor.

We keep coming back to Local Pizza for one simple reason: the crust. It's that perfect thin and crispy style that holds up beautifully without feeling too heavy -- just the way we like it. The sauce is flavorful without being overpowering, and the creativity in their toppings always keeps things interesting. Favorites like "Meat Me At The Corner" really show off their bold combos and generous portions -- it's a carnivore's dream but still balanced with that great crisp. You can tell they care about each element, from the dough to the drizzle. If you're a fan of artisan-style pies with inventive names and serious crunch, this place is a must. read more

Ugh. So we ordered our pizza. One white called little Italy. First time I ever had thick cooked slices of prosciutto on a pizza. Usually thin shaved slices added after pizza cooked. Prosciutto was very chewy and tough. Ricotta cream was really good. Fresh mozzarella seemed like a slice of normal mozzarella. Crust had a decent flavor. Good chewy factor and good cook. Ordered a pepperoni pizza. Pizza was soggy. Crust flimsy and wet. Pepperoni was good. Cheese was salty. The pizza was ok. The bad part was the lack of attention from stafff. Walked in 20 minutes like they said when they took our order. Couldn't find pizzas. Waited 30 minutes for pizzas on top of 20 minutes. They couldn't give an answer of what happened. Didn't seem to really care. It seemed like the pepperoni sat the 30 minutes because they forgot to make the other pizza. Would have left if we had not paid. I am sure we can do better. Take out seemed somewhat active but restaurant was dead. read more

Service and food were awesome! I have to write more to be able to post a review. If you are in Osprey and want pizza check it out.

Holy cow. Not just good, great, but seriously OUTSTANDING pizza! Our waitress Rebecca was fantastic. Allowed us to sample a few tasters of beer before we decided what we wanted to order. Started with the garden salad. Was perfect. Just the right amount of dressing. Hearts of palm. Onions. Fresh tomatoes. Then we got our first pizza, with onions, green peppers and mushrooms. It was so good that we ordered a plain pizza for dessert!!!! The ambiance is cool. Nice stylish interior. Bar seating if you want. TV's. Open kitchen. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

The best pizza I've had in the area! Honestly, it's better and more affordable than Napule. If you're craving delicious pizza at a fair price, this is the place to go! Also, the service here is very kind. Don't miss out! PS... it looks better on the inside than the outside. Don't judge a book by its cover read more

Local Pizza - Chicken Alfredo Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Osprey, Florida

So I ordered take-out from them for my Son and his family when they came to town. I have to agree with my 11 year Granddaughter - Dominos - not that I'd ever order from them - has better pizza . Sauce was tasteless. Crust underbaked. Not crispy. It was pretty hmm... not good. That's disappointing as I would like to give 'Local' businesses a shot. But these folks need to do better. read more

Today is Feb 12 2025. Pick up food at 8:13 pm. Food was very mediocre. The worst wings I have ever tried...no flavor at all and tasted like from microwave. We debated at the register that it wasn't the right flavor, but was convinced that it is... Owner must be aware... The pasta that was ordered was their carbonera but we were given rigatoni noodles instead...with no mention about it what so ever. I normally never say anything but felt that after today's experience something had to be said so that improvements can be made and others can enjoy a good meal. read more

This place is bomb and so welcoming! The wait is long, but beyond worth it. Local pizza has the freshest ingredients and best menu options! I've never once been disappointed. Always clean with the cutest store front. Highly recommend as a returning customer. read more

Local Pizza - So good I could barely get a full pic - Pizza Near Me - Osprey, Florida

I can't speak to the service for dine in as I took out, but I ordered a gluten free pizza and salad from here. Everything was delicious, especially for Florida (I live in New Jersey). The sauce wasn't overly sweet, the toppings fresh, and the side salad was excellent. I will certainly return when my celiac self has a pizza craving in the future! read more

So glad we found Local Pizza. Delicious food, roasted artichokes - fabulous, loved the chicken parm lunch special and lemon Caesar salad. Chris our server was fantastic! Looking forward to coming back here from NY! read more

Florida and pizza are now like two peas in a pod thanks to the tremendous migration pattern of people from the north east cities. That being said, there is a lot of pizza competition in this area, and if you're struggling to decide where to eat your next Italian meal, this is certainly a viable option. The ambience is contemporary and hip with a stunning bar and the table service is phenomenal. It's easy to find, on the east side of the 41 in Osprey and there's convenient off street parking. Now keep in mind, the pizza is mediocre. While real pizza (in my opinion) is not overwhelmed by toppings, this restaurant seem to be thrilled to offer you all kinds of interesting pizza varieties, but when it comes down to a basic classic cheese pie, this one will not be at the top of your list. All the pies are 14 inches, which would be considered a small pizza. When you fold such a small slice it feels like a child's portion. Additionally, the pie we had was light on mozzarella cheese. There was no gooey string of cheese hanging down after you take your first bite. Would I recommend giving this restaurant a try? Sure, they might have exactly what you want. It's just not my New York City style pizza. Salute! read more

Nice place but pizza is marginal at best. I had cheese pizza and there was hardly any cheese on it? Bland and limp. Much better choices for pizza nearby read more

We had the make-your-own pizza, red sauce, pepperoni, onion, mushrooms. The pizza was okay, but nothing special. The service was good; the restaurant had several tv's over the bar, so we could watch the football game. The restaurant was clean and everyone was keeping busy. I'm still searching for a spectacular pizza in Sarasota... read more

I was happy with the service and the pizza tasted good enough, but I was very disappointed when I got to my family gathering and opened up one of my pizza boxes. Most of the toppings I paid for weren't on there. I was already too far away to go back and resolve the issue, so it was upsetting. I was really looking forward to that combo, but ended up with just a cheese pizza. read more

Stopped by today and ordered a Bolognese Pizza for take out. Despite the long wait I would still rate it as a fabulous experience. The pizza was total perfection. The crust reminded me of New York slices, although a bit smaller because the pizzas are 14". But the texture and taste is very New York. Frankly the closest I've found. The ingredients we fresh and flavorful. If they can work on the production time they would have a 5 star experience. read more

Local Pizza probably does not possess the best name ever, but the pizza is definitely pretty solid at this establishment. The ambiance here definitely adds to a positive experience if you prefer a more upscale atmosphere than the stereotypical corner takeout pizzeria joint. The service here is definitely spot-on. They are friendly, professional and attentive. The pizza is definitely a great pizza with quality ingredients and attention to the details. The pizzas also have clever (at least in their opinion) names attached to them. I grew up in New Jersey and truly miss great pizza. In New Jersey, it seems that we have great pizza on almost every corner. When I moved to Florida in 2001, I was both shocked and more than a little dismayed to discover that great pizza (or even good pizza) was something that had to be hunted down and when found, it was a moment worthy of celebration (and what better way to celebrate than with a slice of pizza in hand?). All in all, I will give Local Pizza five stars (though I am still not a fan of their name). Local Pizza is a great place to head towards if you are in the mood for great pizza. read more

I visited for dinner with my family for the first time. We were delighted by the cuisine!!! The spices and flavors were extremely impressive. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses that will appeal to youngsters and adults alike. The two pizzas we ordered were Meet me at the corner and Margherita. For Entrees we had the Roasted Chicken, Chicken wings ( hot chilli and Garlic Parm), and Roasted Cauliflower! Listen, that was the best Roasted Cauliflower ever! Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. I recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Great for a family night out. read more

Shrimp scampi pizza is fantastic. Fresh, homemade pasta did not disappoint. Service was excellent as well.

Pizza was alright. Way too much sauce. As soon as you picked the pizza up, everything would slide off of it. Floppy under carriage. We got the meatballs for an app, they were not good at all. Weird taste to them. Im glad I tried this place because I would always drive by and it looked intriguing. Probably won't be back but it's cute read more

wonderful food with kind staff! inside is very clean and fancy. 10/10 recommend. :) Very welcoming and kind kitchen workers too.

Something changed again :(. Tried to give it another visit tonight - it was our local jam until we moved. $87 for bland takeout. Kids noodles dry and salty. Cauliflower crust pizza WAY heavy on the garlic and soggy. Plus they forgot two of my toppings! And the large cheese- where's the cheese? And also TOOOO garlicky:(. Something changed. Recipes? Chefs? Or was it the Full moon? Buh-Bye Local, we knew you when. read more

Good pizza. Was it $20 good? Eh, that's a lot for one pizza. I will probably try again. Convenient pickup window.

When Local Pizza is on their game, I would say this the best pizza in the area. However, Local Pizza has a real problem with being consistent. If you order a pizza here twice in the same week, you'll most likely have 2 separate opinions. Either perfectly cooked with all the specified ingredients (5 star) and friendliness from the staff, or you'll get an undercooked pie with missing basil from some rude cashier. 2 times I've also had their buffalo wings, and they dont put sauce on them, I send them back, and they make fresh ones that are correct and taste amazing. Again, consistency. They dont deliver anymore, with good reason, because they really sucked at it. They would straight up not deliver your food for some unknown reason. But they still push tipping on their carry out orders. Stop doing this. Put a tip jar and leave it at that. Wait times are anyone's guess, I'm told 5 minutes to pick up a slice, and it's never ready, kind of a nitpicky thing but annoying nonetheless. Expect your order to take 30 minutes. Some staff are the nicest I've ever met, while some make you feel like you're burdening them with your presence. Sometimes, you just never feel welcome. You'd think I'd rate this lower based on what I've said, but this place really is amazing when it's done right. I'd recommend it to anyone, but you may want to give it a few tries. read more

Pizza was very good. Atmosphere was good. Service good. We highly recommend. We definitely will go back.

This is our third time visiting this month! You will not be disappointed! On our last visit, we had two different pizzas and they were outstanding!
