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

This is a general review of the restaurant and a specific review of likely the best Pizza I've ever eaten: Their Pizza Bolognese was exceptional plus. Their Pepperoni was average. The restaurant was a open arrangement in the city of Osprey and they have Beer and Wine as well as softdrinks. A comfortable place. read more

Don't know what's up with your dough or oven but our 2 pizzas we picked up tonight were more like take n bake, no color on the bottom resembled a sponge. Sorry at least I gave you 1 star for the cheese. read more

The absolute BEST! Such great food... the lemon Caesar salad is delicious, and the two pizzas we've tried (Pretty Fly for a White Pie and a red one with bacon jam) were extraordinary. I hear the Margarita is very fine too. The place was empty at lunchtime today. We have to fix that! Don't want to lose this great place. read more

Very interesting experience. Server seemed very new and like they had never served before. Halfway through our meal another server/bartender came in and was blaring music on her phone. She asked us if it was bothering us. Yes, your loud music over the music playing over the speakers was bothering us. She proceeded to yell across the bar at the bartender and was pulling things out of her purse such as cigarettes and leaving them on the bar. The pizza was great but just a very odd experience with the staff. read more

Very expensive, Terrible service, Floppy undercooked pizza. Even the salad was terrible.

Cute local place with indoor and outdoor seating. Pizza is good with many options. Great wine and beer selection. Pasta is great too!

My wife's family has a tradition of going out for pizza the day after Christmas, so we have been doing it as long as we've been married. We stopped here and this place is actually a great new gem. We had takeout before and wanted to try eating in. Great vibes; great food. The food was on point. read more

What do you look for in a pizza???? Is it the quality of the ingredients and toppings, is it the precise cooking of the dough, or is it all of the above. For me personally, this pizza checks off every check mark to achieve the most incredible pizza joint. I tried the wings and they were cooked very well and had a nice crispy charbroiled taste. I can't even begin to describe the pizza. The dough is cooked to perfection. The pizza dough is nice and crispy with a New York style crust. The ingredients are premier and the specialty pizzas are created and precisely made to perfection read more

Excellent pizza, apps, wine & Happy Hour! GF options available. Cauliflower crust is very good.

Fantastic meal, ambiance and service. Loved the wings and the truffle hot sauce. Artichoke pizza and prosciutto pizza are awesome. Recommend 100 j read more

Not a good experience. Our waiter was young and energetic, but no training whatsoever. Not a single item on our order was correct. Not one. The lemon Cesar salad was certainly lemony, but that is all you can taste after two bites. The meatballs were over cooked until they were crunchy, and they really need to look up what a Margherita pizza is, because what they brought us was a cheese pizza with some basil sprinkled on it. Yuck. They need a manager in there that has some experience and they need to train their personnel better. Recipe for disaster ! read more

Because of the service and food I can say I'd definitely be back. Our waitress was great and attentive to everything we needed. We sat at the bar and the environment in the entire indoor and outdoor area was relaxed and had a chill ambiance. Now about the pizza... I am super picky about my pizza and Local Pizza's is awesome! They have perfect prices for the pizzas that are slightly elevated in flavors compared to a "normal pizza". So, in conclusion, 5/5. Will definitely be back. read more

650 Terminal Ave Nanimo By far the best pizza in Nanimo Staff are friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. Their price and quality can't be beat. read more

This is a perfect example of why small businesses fail. Saturday night, 1 server. Ridiculous. Poor Morgan had to hustle amidst so many angry guests, my two stars are for her. Who owns this place? Please realize you are not saving any money skimping on labor when 100% of your guests are pissed off. No where to sit because nothing is bussed. Where is the teamwork?? Several guys are in the back ya they may be BOH but come on this place needs some team effort to keep it going. Pizza dough was soggy. Meatballs tasted old. Pesto was brown. read more

We just made our first visit to your restaurant this evening. Your pepperoni is the most delicious I've ever had. And we loved the lemon Caesar salad. Danielle gave us great service!!! read more

Hate giving a negative review... Especially in the opening months of a restaurant. However, we feel as if the crust of their pizza is not only rockhard, but also does not taste good at all. Went back two more times hoping that our first bad encounter could have been rectified, and we were with the same rockhard crust. It also made it even harder to reheat if we had wanted to save part of the pizza. Perhaps a new recipe for their dough or another solution might make their pizza more palatable . Not right now for our family. read more

Very lax on social distancing. Staff not wearing masks and customers grouped at the entrance. Tables closer than 6 ft apart. Pizza is okay, toppings better than the crust. However, customer service definitely needs improvement. Ordered takeout on Friday night. One pizza was ready on time and the other 2 were MIA. The hostess kept asking the lead cook where they were and he insisted they were in the warming case. 25 minutes later he finally agreed to make the other 2. Very frustrating experience. Hostess put in a very awkward position which was not right given she was correct. read more

New York City was my home for years before moving to Sarasota. Naturally I am used to the best pizza in the world. Didn't expect much from Sarasota, until I stumbled upon Local Pizza. It could't be more local (around the corner from my home) and better. Food exquisitive, extensive menu, fresh ingredients, and a young chef named Jay Seixas (from Brazil) weaves his magic in an open air kitchen for all to see (and smell). Aromas permeate throughout making me feel like I'm in Little Italy again. Run, don't walk....to Local Pizza. read more

The food is good and the servers are pleasant. It is a great neighborhood place to go. The half lemon chicken is wonderful.

I am a local. Food is not very authentic in Italian. First time the place opened, I ordered pizza and something on it smelt bad, didn't eat it. A year later, I decided to try this place again, I ordered Chicken Alfredo with extra sauce. The dish was made with egg noodles, not homemade pasta, the sauce was watery (forgot the extra sauce). and the chicken was tough seemed like it was processed. Somewhat expensive for what you get. Not a recommendation of mine. There are other places less expensive with better quality food read more

First the good...the food is great. Sometimes. Like another poster said, they are inconsistent. We ordered the same pizza twice this week. First time it was perfect. Second time, soggy crust, and barely cooked. The bad? Horrible customer service. I stood at the counter for nearly 15 minutes before anyone came over to talk to me. And there were plenty of employees who were working and each made eye contact with me as soon as I walked in. Get your act together Local Pizza. You're not the only pizza place around. read more

This is a nice new place o stop in for lunch or dinner. We got takeout plain pizza and the pizza bolognese. We ordered the bolognese with the cherry pepper relish on the side. We did put it on it and the flavor combo was a tiny bit spicy but great. I do want to try some of the other pizza combos. The homemade Caesar dressing was great. The pizza was not greasy. read more

Stopped in for a takeout pizza and to grab a quick drink at the bar. Interior and exterior design of the place are great, though we decided to stay inside because we had a rare 40 degree day in florida. The outside part is equipped with a turf patio and some fun games like corn hole, the insides a bit more classy. Pizza & crust were excellent. 3 size options, wood fired. Next time will ask for a bit more well done but thats just personal preference. Ingredients and sauce were super fresh. Only complaint was service was very um. Un-attentive. The bartender made us feel very unwelcome. Im not ever quick to judge servers or bartenders as i am one myself- but lord he never cracked a smile. Never an ounce of politeness, acted like it was a chore to serve us. Tried to talk to him about owners (which my boyfriend knows) and basically shrugged the conversation off. I don't know. I know everyone has their day, but even like a "hey I'm just a little busy yell if you need anything" would've been appreciated. Just received no attention. Visited during happy hour. Next time hope to visit during volume and that I don't have to grace that in-personable bartender/waiters presence. Yikes. Food-10/10 read more

Ordered a cheese pizza well done, crispy. The cheese was totally brown and the crust underneath was white. Not sure how it's cook in a brick oven and the crust isn't even tan or crispy?? The pizza was chewy, not crispy at all or anything like pizzeria pizza at all. Really want to like this restaurant since it's so close to my home. read more

We just came back from this pizza place, Local pizza, very unsatisfied, unprofessional staff, as we got our order, 3 pizzas, one of them ,the pizza was completely raw, he other 2 partly cooked, I called the server and let him know, his reply , I'm sorry if you want, I can ask them to cook it more, !!! After we waited for over half hour, !!! How in the world you're going to cook it more, when it's all cut up, he should have said , we get you another one, besides, the toppings that we order, it wasn't there, too, then he took it away one pizza, and never came back, then we had another young man come with the bill, telling us they gave us a 20% discount, I never asked for a discount, all I want my order, the proper way, !!!!! I paid the full amount, without eating, very unprofessional!!!! I wouldn't recommend this place, I had to go, some where else to eat, after I paid $45.00 and no food, ??? read more

If you love pizza and are in the area, this is the spot for your cravings. Gourmet toppings, expert preparation, and a great staff that made me feel like I was one of the locals. Great, and I mean GREAT, pizza! You will not be disappointed. Ask for the truffle hot sauce...Slappin! read more

We stopped for our first visit based on reviews we read on Yelp. We tried the Pretty fly for a white pie based on our servers recommendation and it did not disappoint. My husband and I shared and we had a piece left over that I desperately wished I could have finished because it was that good. Service was on point as well. We will definitely be back! read more

I've waited a long time to check this place out. So, today I stop by, ask if they serve slices, walk up to the counter and order a couple slices to go. I wait 20 minutes, tell them I'll pay for my slices, then find out they're dont serve slices after 4 when they were clearly available when I was there. That left a bad taste in my pizza loving NJ mouth, I won't ever go back! read more

Finally a good pizza place in Osprey!! The pizzas are all very creative and reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. So glad this opened! read more

Our dinner was absolutely delicious! Pizza was amazing - best we've had in years, the burrata salad and chopped salad were awesome and we finished it off with dessert. We'll be back! read more

New Englander, New Haven Frequenter- It is insanely difficult to find good pizza in Florida. Finally decided to stop in after eyeing it multiple times. Not sure what it is about Florida and why pizza just isn't the same, but this place made me soooo happy. We got the Johnny Peppers and the Pizza Bolognese and it was absolutely amazing!!! I will be coming here from now on and telling everyone! read more

Great NY style pizza. Friendly service by Joe and the rest of the team. Nice that you can buy a whole pizza or just grab a slice.

Went last night for my pizza fix. This place never disappoints. Hot fresh pizza. Good quality ingredients. Ice cold beer. Friendly fast service, and Clean dining area. If you get within 20 miles of this place it's worth the detour, and you will probably plan your next trip this way to include visiting LOCAL PIZZA. I highly recommend. read more

We've been twice to this new "local" pizza spot. Both times have not disappointed! Meat Me at the Corner, Pizza Bolognese, and Gimme the Green are all fantastic! Can't wait to go back! read more

Super fun and clean inside, awesome pizza options, and just all around great food, Support local businesses like this one they're definitely worth going to try! read more

I came for the first time tonight and 5 starts to this place!!! Awesome customer service, we ordered a pizza and pasta with meatballs and it was DELICIOUS. Great local spot !! read more

Tradition good Italian food. I had take out. My kids did not like it and that's ok, this restaurant caters to adult palates. Hot buffalo Wings were good but I wished they were hotter, maybe my palate needs more of a kick in the face. read more

Something ALWAYS goes wrong with this place. The last time I ordered pick-up, I waited a full 1.5 hours outside (alongside other frustrated customers) because there was a mixup with the orders and the manager was nowhere to bee seen. Because my usual place was closed tonight, I decided against my better judgement to give it another try--this time with delivery. Delivery time took over an hour (was told it would be between 45-60 minutes as context) because the delivery guy was told the wrong address. I had to call and confirm my address, but why didn't he call the number I left when placing the order?! It's unfortunate because the pizza is actually decent, but the management is so painfully poor that it just bleeds through to every level of service and ruins the entire experience. TL;DR, don't waste your time. read more

I love food. I know how to cook and I know how to make pizza from scratch. Hands down, local pizza has the best pizza I have had in the whole state. I have tried most of the pizzas on the menu and they are all terrific. My favorites are the carbonara pizza and the confetti pizza. I look forward to the next time I go...and I'm sure you will too. read more
