Came back after a year or so away and glad we did . A few of us came and everyone left happy . My wife and I shared a lemony Caesar which we liked - could have used some shaved cheese for a bit of zip-zing! But none there was . That's okay - the Your Sister pizza had good cheesy quality -we added some veggies and asked for it crispy and it came out perfect . Just a good pizza w a good crust - I always say the crust test is a thing - look at everybody's plates when they're done - any crust left ? No ? Hey ! Now dats some good crust baby . Good beer offerings here too . We won't stay away as long as- heck I'd go back next week . read more

Really good pizza! The white pizza with meatballs and pesto was soooo good! They tend to be busy (good sign!) and the food is definitively worth a little patience! Highly recommend! read more

Love this place and we will be back! read more

2 sangrias, ice tea, lemon kale Caesar and a right in the kisser pie... excellent... $60. Will return very cordial staff. Went in Friday about 4pm. By 5 it was better than 1/2 full. read more

We went there for the first time and got Vincent as our server. This guy is super awesome and made our stay awesome. He made sure our kids had some toys to play while we were talking and came like 10 times to make sure we didn't need anything even though he had many tables inside. I like this guy and he is amazing I would hire him to take care of my restaurant period. I hope the owners know what they have here, Vincent is amazing for the industry read more

We liked it on first visit even though the goofed on the salad dressing. Loved the pizza sauce. Next time we went the salad had bad lettuce in it and the pizza was undercooked. I let management know but never heard back from them. Scratched off our list read more

Food is a really bad joke at best. The smashed meatball was the tasting bland out of a bag meatball I have ever had, not to mention 1 was barely Lukewarm. Not worth 3 dollars at best. The small pizza are flavorless, sauceless, minimalist topping pizza I have ever encountered. Will never eat there again. The person said seat yourself, took more than 30 minutes for the person to come take our order. By the way we grab a menu from the bar area to see what they had. The place could be so much better. Beautiful brick oven and they serve this stuff. I refuse to call it food. I recommend they close the doors and get a real cook and at a minimum 1 more person working the floor. The seats are solid wood, if you back issues don't sit down. Hard to get the ol hips moving when you get up. WILL NOT EVER GO BACK. SUCH A SHAME read more

Best pizza in the area bar none. I have eaten here many times and the pizza is always excellent. Consistently crisp,chewy crust and magnificent sauce. Not the fanciest place but definitely worth a visit. Friendly,efficient staff as well. read more

The pizza is great and all, but what I love about this place is the staff. Everyone that works here, from cashiers to waitstaff to bartenders, are so uniformly pleasant and helpful over the years we've been coming here that it makes me want to come back time and again. On those few occasions where there was an issue with an order, they bend over backwards to correct it and make sure you're taken care of. Awesome place, awesome pizza, awesome people. read more

Visiting friends in the area and coming home from Siesta Beach we stopped by for pizza. We got there about 5:30 on Friday evening and beat the crowd! A well deserved crowd! This place has delicious stone grilled pizza with fresh toppings. The pizza's 14 inches of pure heaven! They offer pasta, salads, appetizers and deserts. The place is clean, open, and has great service! Love supporting local restaurants and this definitely deserves it! read more

Great little place in Osprey next to Mad Moe's. Great if you love adventurous pizza toppings and thinner crust pizzas. Highly recommend the meatballs. Super clean with an open kitchen so you can always see what's going on. Full bar. Indoor and outdoor seating and a takeout window for quick Pizza pick ups. Highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Had to make up for the bad pizza from last week. Glad we stopped by, very friendly staff enjoying themselves. A small menu which I tend to like not so many choices, but enough to make you come back. On this first trip ( yes we will be back) we had one of their specialty pizzas. Meatball, fresh mozzarella, garlic and basil. The garlic was not that noticeable but the meatball flavor was great. Pizza cooked perfectly in one of their brick ovens. Cheesecake was very rich but delicious. Will definitely go back. read more

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommend. Pizza has a tasty thin crust. We will definitely be back. read more

Local Pizza - Pepperoni pizza and House Merlot - Pizza Near Me - Osprey, Florida

I frequent Local Pizza because I'm a local and I want a local pizza joint to succeed and stick around. But... damn... they are tough to love... The pizza is good, however, I would argue that they are a little too proud of it; $18-20 for medium-size pie. Get the "Meat Me At the Corner" (think: Meat Lover's); it's a tasty pie with a bacon jam that makes it outstanding. Margherita is also a solid choice. I've seen other comments/reviews regarding consistency and would argue that does not apply to pizza. For other menu items, you are rolling the dice. They may or may not have it available, it may or may not be good. *There are arguments among our household and local friends that the pizza is too greasy; I don't personally mind it. To say it plainly - dine in service is a shit show. And if they put you on hold when you call to order take out, just forget it--they aren't returning to the call. Hang up and call again. It seems like an organizational, top-down opportunity; poorly run and lacking leadership/direction/training. I don't blame the staff because they never seem to be set up for success or have any idea who is doing what. I won't expand more - dine in and you'll know right away. I'm cheering for you, Local Pizza, but daaaaang, you gotta get it together. read more

Best pizza I've had in a long time. Meatball smash was delish. Great service! Will be back for sure

This IS the pizza I dream about! I tried the white ricotta cheese with spinach and thinly sliced tomatoes and the Cuban pizza which was delicious and very different ! We Had our meal in their dining room which was extremely clean and the service was delightful!!!!! This is my NEW place to order pizza from. All I can say is YUM and thank you for bringing your food to our area!!!!! read more

Don't be fooled by the outside of this great find! The inside is a pleasant surprise. The black and white decor is simple tile creAting a modern and contemporary vibe! The long bar with 4 large tvs makes it a great spot to watch a game . Pizza is excellent as are the apps and pasta dishes. Service is excellent and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit! Btw price is very reasonable ! read more

First, I want to say, we have loved this place in the past. Their cauliflower crust has been the best around. Lately, it has been going downhill fast. Food is meh. Wine and beer are not being served due to a mishap?? And it is INSANELY overpriced. $87 for two pizzas and pasta. Absolutely nuts. Last we were there, the place was completely empty except for us... I wonder why. I really hope they pull it together so we can enjoy that brand new outdoor space this fall. ‍ read more

Everyone I know claims to be a pizza EXPERT. People say....well I'm from New York and I know great pizza. IT IS SUBJECTIVE ! what you may like another person may think is horrible. I don't like a thin crust oily pizza you can't fold and put in your mouth. Local pizza is what I described . It taste good but JUST average.....not memorable. It's a nice place that is clean and spacious. It has large screen t.v. with sports. The bar is huge. The cashier/hostess needs to be more enthusiastic and alert. Also, pizza is not meant to sit for extended time....it has to be moved. If you want to sell pizza sell it by the slice all day. read more

Great Margherita Pizza! Great service! Best pizza in the south Sarasota Osprey area!!

The food is excellent! Every thing is hand made. Menu is a little different, but we'll worth it. The roasted artichokes is top flavored! Some of the ingredients are not my favorite, but the chef put the dish in proper balance I all but licked the plate. Service was very, very good had attentive staff and pleasant interaction with all of the staff. Talked with one of the chefs and he was pleasant to converse with and gave some insights as to their vision of a great menu and it shows! Will recommend and return. Even though they are a 45 minute drive from my house Job well done!!! read more

Had a great visit on Sunday. Brought my disabled mom and my black lab and staff was very accommodating to both. Had the "Meatme on the Corner" pizza, along with the lemon kale caesar and the cauliflower appetizer. Everything was delicious. Only did 4 stars because my BF felt that the pizza could have been bigger, but with the salad and app, we all left full. Would definitely go back and try some of their other pizzas. read more

Local Pizza - Outside seating. They are dog friendly, and have corn hole game. - Pizza Near Me - Osprey, Florida

Good pizza. I've never eaten there but I picked up food for takeout. The food is always hot and ready when we pick it up. Place looks clean.

Ordered 2 slices of pizza to go. Prices pretty high for a single slice. Pepperoni looked like mini tea cups holding grease. Other very greasy Margherita slice with cheese balls that never melted. Put in to go box with slice half sticking out of box! The cook with face mask dandling under his chin sneezed without washing hands. Too scared to eat. My Better judgement - decided to throw the pizza away due to Covid precautions. F- read more

The place is super nice and you can see your food being made. Clean and the stuff is super fabulous, smart and on their hustle. The chefs in the back are fast and super professional. The FOOD is good flavor, cooked just right. Pizza, salads and the pasta is beyond great. The appetizers I had where the artichokes and the cauliflower and they where so flavorful and cooked just right. Great selection of wine and beer and mix drinks. My 5 year old loved the pizza and pasta. And last we had the tuxedo bombe for desert and it was dreamy just right. Thank you and sorry for not taking any pictures but I decided to write my review after the 5th time there. And all 5 times we had the same service and same great food. read more

Best pizza I've had since moving to the Sarasota area. Margherita pizza and spinach artichoke (with white sauce) both insanely good. Got some wings as well. Flavor was excellent on the wings but were a bit dry. Not enough to bring down the review. Can't wait to go back and the price was fair for the pizzas. read more

Guys. I like the location and food but you really have to keep the employees from smoking weed while patrons are still in the restaurant. At the very least it is disrespectful but certainly a plausible reason for the staff's forgetfulness. I mean really right in front of us ?! Smelling up the restaurant? I don't know whether to give this another shot or not. I'm being kind with the rating because we have been coming here since it opened. Lack of a response to the original review is substantively enough to downgrade an originally very generous three stars. read more

Just recently discovered Local pizza. We recommend it to all our friends now. We always order out but the atmosphere inside is pretty sweet. All the waiters/waitresses are super nice as well. Great place. read more

We went for lunch on January 22nd 2023. It appeared to be kind of a slow lazy afternoon and was a little disappointed when the Marguerite Pizza was overdone. Fortunately, trust was not burnt but right at the edge of being extremely well done and we did not want to wait and have it remade. Overall the ingredients of the pizza tasted good and the meatballs of course, are excellent. read more

We stopped here to try them out . We got a Caesar Salad and a Meet Me at the Corner Pizza. They have 2 wood burning pizza ovens and the pizza and salad were very good. We did take out . We intend to go back and eat there next week. read more

THE. BEST. PIZZA!!!! Do not walk, RUN! There isn't anything on that menu that is not fabulous!

I've only been to Local Pizza 2 times and I have to say, I was shocked. The food was delicious! It felt fresh and practically melted in your mouth! I found myself feeling that the portions that were given were a bit too small for my liking. All in all the meals were outstanding! Though, I felt personally that the menu wasn't too varied and was left with not a lot of options, especially for someone who's picky. The staff however I have to say, did not meet my standards. A lot of staff hadn't been taking precautions for COVID-19, even the chefs! On top of this, the waiters/waitresses weren't exactly taking their job serious. I found a lot of them were talking to other customers or striking conversations with customers AND other staff. But they were still nice and got us our orders in the end. Overall, Local Pizza is great for a night out with family and friends! read more

Just bought a home in Palmer Ranch & have frequented Local Pizza multiple times in the last 3 Months. It's absolutely delicious, friendly staff, hot & ready & will be our go - to pizza from now on. The bolognese is our favorite with the delicious meatballs sliced & the touch of sweet/spicy drizzle on top. The artichoke appetizer & artichoke pizza are also delicious favorites & so flavorful & tender. Meet me at the corner is a must as well. We can't say enough & with 4 college boys we've tried our fair share of pizza & Local Pizza is DELICIOUS! read more
