Recently got take out from Marinas. We got cheesesteaks and chicken parm subs. The cheesesteaks are definitely delicious! Good size and tasty. May be worth paying a bit more to get extra cheese but overall, delicious! The chicken parm on the other hand really missed the mark. They use frozen chicken tenders cut up to make this. WHAT?! Why? Why are you not using a freshly breaded and cooked chicken cutlet?! Who wants to eat crumbles of chicken on a parm sandwich? It's just really bad. There is bro enough chicken, or sauce. It's bland and dry. I also had to put mine in the toaster oven at home because the bread is not toasted or crisp at all. I would never order this again. Stick to their pizza, that's been great every time! read more

This review is specifically about the Cheesesteaks. I used to love the idea that there was a somewhat local restaurant that made a really good Cheesesteak. I used to come here once every 2 months or so. For no reason in particular, I haven't been here in a while. I've now gotten 2 Cheesesteaks here in the last few months and they were a total letdown. I wish I could give a detailed reason for the dislike but all I can say is that the last two trips here, the Cheesesteaks were Blah. Not quite Bad, but definitely not Good. I haven't had their pizza in a long time. I definitely hope that's better. read more

The food is pretty solid and they get the orders right. Dining in is OK, ambience is nothing exciting to keep you there. I recommend this place. read more

Boss lady wants to treat for dinner and is dropping off too. I say "two plain slices" she says "no, order a bigger dinner" so I review the menu and photos and reviews. But there's something important to me that I must understand for myself, I must be clear on and I must have embedded into the burned up memory banks that still remain functional. How's the sauce? Will I begin a relationship here? You can mask dirty dish towel sweat with sausage , peppers, anchovies and all else - and if I ever see Buffalo Chicken as a topping or anything green - I absolutely refuse to enter. Like Count Dracula being asked to enter St. Patrick's Cathedral - it ain't happening. Because when she kept pushing toppings like a guy on the corner late at night with many pockets - I said "no thank you, I don't take toppings" until I know the sauce that is. So I asked her to ask them for extra sauce and she's really smart but when it showed up there was no extra sauce and I knew the mere mentioned of this was embarrassing to her. But I can eat bread n sauce all day and everyday - so I gotta know the sauce. Average looking pie, (10 inch NY) it was familiar - flat in taste and size so I stacked two together like a sandwich and ate it like that.. Tomato sauce was the stuff from big cans, not Ronzoni and not Scalfani, something left of in-between. Cesar Salad wasn't Romaine, sardines on top not the mashed without the grated Parmesan cheese - it was a thinly sliced Fontana at best with bagged croutons that I hate and absolutely refuse to eat. read more

You will not be disappointed good meal Friendly service been here for over 20years. Great Philly and Chicken sandwiches.

The restaurant was busy, looked great, and everyone seemed to really be enjoying their dinners. I got a Steak Stromboli for the first time on the waitresses recommendation and it was Really Good. We also ordered a meatball sub and the bread they use is Perfect for a meatball sub via soft and easy to dip. Overall, I'll be back as the food was Dank!! read more

we literally ordered two things to go and it took them 30 minutes. Not to mention the guys at the sub station weren't wearing gloves and were picking their ears and then making the sandwiches read more

Today was my hubby's birthday and we wanted to try this restaurant for lunch. What a great decision that was. The food was the best we have had in a long time. We ordered fries with our beer and wine and they were absolutely amazing. Not greasy and the oil was so clean. Then Hubby had veal parmigiana and I had eggplant. We really enjoyed every bite. What a wonderful birthday lunch. The ambiance is more of a pizza parlor feel but clean as could be. The service was fantastic and we will be back for sure. Thank you Marina's for such a great experience! Happy Birthday to my husband Charlie read more

This place used to be great! Comparable to NY Pizza. Today I ordered a few pies and it was Worst pizza I ever had!!! The whole family was disappointed! Tasted like boxed freezer pizza. Sauce was bad and no crust. Just really really disappointed! What happened? Need to find another place to get pizza now. read more

My partner found this place here on Yelp, it had good reviews, so we gave it a shot. We ordered a few things. I had plans to use my leftovers for my lunch the next day. I ordered a yummy hot sausage sub, and he got the chicken parm entree. We always try each others dishes, so I can vouch for his food. The chicken was tender, and the pasta was spot on. Also, right away, I could tell they didn't nuke the chicken, before sending it out. Frankly, it is so disrespectful and insulting to a customer when a cook serves warmed up old food. I can't begin to tell you how many times, I have found this to be the case when I eat out. Out of curiosity, we also ordered a small cheese pizza and garlic knots as starters. Both of us come from different areas in NY, so trying a restaurant's pizza is sort of a litmus test for the quality of the overall menu. My tastebuds personally, are very picking when it comes to pizza and pasta sauces. I found both of theirs to be flavorful and balanced. We were VERY happy with everything! Right away we agreed we'd be back again! The service was good, our waitress never left us wanting for a thing. The restaurant was clean. The atmosphere was casual, and family friendly. The other customers seem to be enjoying their food and conversations, as well. Staying true to my intentions, I continued my experience the next day, twice. First, for my lunch, then later on, I had a couple slices of pizza after work before we headed out to a concert. As a side note, Tim rarely eats leftovers, so when he actually ate his leftover chicken parm, I knew he truly loved his food. The total price, including drinks, was under $60, then we added a tip. I highly recommend this place. They serve food that I would happily serve to my family and friends in my home. read more

If very simple strip mall, Italian restaurant. I called an Italian restaurant because it's much more than a simple pizza place. The menu is fairly extensive and I've tried everything on the menu. I've never been disappointed. read more

The food was AMAZING. The ambiance was really good. The service was exceptional. Our server Avery was excellent, attentive to our needs , and made us feel like family. She is a GREAT ASSEST to the restaurant. read more

Food was delish! We had Avery as our server and she was just full of smiles, fast, efficient and very polite. The restaurant was very busy and at no time we were rushed or felt she was overwhelmed she was on top of everything! Highly recommend! read more

I ventured to this location with my brother. I quickly scanned the menu and noticed a sandwich with a fantastic name. I then read the ingredients and knew it was right up my alley. First, the restaurant is very nicely decorated and maintained. The staff was excellent and very energetic. I placed my order and about 15 minutes later was delivered to our table. I must say it was EXCELLENT! The flavors were superb. My sandwich was essentially a cheesesteak with onion, green pepper, sausage, olives and banana peppers. I was only going to eat half of the sandwich , but you know how that goes. I went several days later and ordered the Italian sub and that equally was a gem. I can't say enough about this location. Great facility and food round out some of the best Italian food in Lakewood Ranch. read more

Marina's Pizza - The Bomber. Philly cheesesteak with olives, green pepper, onion and banana peppers - Pizza Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Amazing food, amazing service. We love going here every time we have the chance!! Very chill and nice inside as well.

I agree with the previous customer about the Philly Cheese Sandwich the last couple of times the sandwich was overcooked and hardly had any cheese. We didn't see any waitress ..... I had to go back and forth for everything. But the real turn off was I used the restroom before I left it was absolutely disgusting. Board of Health should visit! Will not go back anytime soon! read more

We tried this place for the first time yesterday and LOVED the veggie pizza!! I almost wasn't able to get a picture before we ate it all. The size of the larges are so big and the same price as Papa Johns ($21). It does cost a little extra to pay with a credit card vs cash. I did carry out so I don't have much to say about the inside of the restaurant, but the cashier was polite and friendly. Definitely will be going back!! read more

Marina's Pizza - Large veggie pizza- no mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Stopped in for lunch before shopping. Being our first time there, of course I had to order a little bit of everything. Started with cheese sticks. Average, pretty good, not greasy and was crispy. Good sauce to dip in. We each ordered a sandwich and a slice of pizza. Their sandwiches are excellent. Got the cheesesteak with meat, onion and cheese (didnt want green peppers and mushrooms but you can add if wanted). Meat was excellent, tender, and seasoned. The onions chopped up and mixed nicely with the meat and cheese....and the bread....the bread was perfect.....nicely toasted....crunchy, soft, held the meat without getting soggy. Also ordered the italian. It was a good italiian, but the cheesesteak was the shining start. Ordered a slice of cheese and a slice of supreme. The cheese had loads of cheese, crispy, tasted good. Supreme held loads of toppings. Had a bit too much topping for my liking.....but you can not complain it lacked ingredients for the price. The individual slices were massive. Had a coke machine (yay coke not pepsi!). Overall....for a really large lunch of appetizer, two large subs, two super huge slices of pizza, and a soda came to 41. Not a bad price for the amount and quality. Will return for another cheesesteak for sure! read more

We love this place. Great pizza with the best cheese & right amount of sauce & toppings. read more

Great local pizza place. We love getting a white pie from here, margherita, And we recently tried the Philly cheese steak pizza. Talk about a filling Pizza. One slice of this is a meal in itself. It's like eating a Philly cheese steak on top of a pizza minus the sauce. We have also order the kids meal before and the portion was huge. Their red sauce is pretty good for the pizza joint! I definitely recommend this place to locals! read more

Consistent and great pizza at a fair price. Service is good. The young people are trained very well and want to please you. Always enjoy the pizza here. read more

Great family operated restaurant that put out great tasting Food is amazing here Service is always superb here read more

The food is always hot and fresh! And the prices are very reasonable. No matter if you decide to dine in or take out the service is good. Not much of an atmosphere because it's a fairly typical Pizza restaurant, and that's part of its charm. read more

Best pizza around! Love that they are locally owned and such great customer service! If you want great pizza and and lovely experience in LWR, you should go here! read more

The best pizza and pasta around, Strongly recommend. The owner is very approachable, and he handles any problems in a proper manner. The staff is really polite. The place has a nice family vibe. read more

Great always! Good garlic rolls. Friendly staff. Good people there, suggest everyone eat there

I went to this pizza shop on Friday at 3:20 and was told that they only do pie orders after 3:00pm.That's fine it's your business do as you want but the shear attitude from the staff and arrogance will have me patronize other pizzerias in the area.A guy behind the person taking the orders looked at me like I was an idiot for dare asking for a mere slice of pizza.We have to hold these establishments accountable for rude behavior. read more

Mistake. That is the main word I thought after one bite. A time machine would come in handy. Margarita pizza. Very acidic. Seemed like premade dough. Cheese was like plastic. "Best" cheesesteak. That's like calling a giant tiny. Chicken parm dinner. Pasta was cheap spaghetti that seemed to be boiled in pepper water. Sauce again very acidic. Chicken or mystery meat was not good and not sure what it was. Had instant regrets at first bite. Wishing I was fasting. read more

Have been eating here for years, before it changed hands the first time. Lately I noticed a difference in the sauce, it had a sweet taste to it, which I do not like either in my marinara or pizza. Sugar doesn't belong in a real Italian tomato sauce. I hope they go back to their original sauce. Will check it out one more time to make sure. However they make the best cheese steak in the area, but no wiz. Just a note; notice when reading all the reviews, the owner doesn't respond at all. Such a shame, used to be very good when Ivan and his partner owned it. read more

I concur with Marc C. If you're in the restaurant business, in any capacity, catching an attitude with someone who asks a question that perhaps you're not in the mood to answer is ridiculous and will likely cost you business as it has in this case. For the record, there are an infinite number of people from NY, NJ, and other states who have relocated to Florida and have been used to pizza shops that serve by the slice all day and all night. And it's not that Marina's or any other shop needs to adapt accordingly, but it's not strange for someone to be looking for "slices" in a pizza shop regardless of the time. I too have encountered a pizza shop that did not serve slices beyond a certain time and was quite surprised to find this is a regular practice in some pizza shops here. Though in that particular shop, the employee was polite and explanatory. That wasn't the case in Marina's. I guess it's too much work for those shops. I'm certain they make less business than the ones who are full service. And, in my opinion, people looking to enjoy NY style pizza, by the slice or otherwise, would be better served going to Michael Angelo's in Lakewood Ranch! read more

Wow... simply wonderful experience. From the moment I entered the building I was immediately surrounded with genuine care and the best service I have received since moving to Florida. If you want to spend your money on incredible food and just as magnificent of service PLEASE do yourself a favor and go here. I'm not sure whether the owner and managers are that good at training their workers or if they are just that brilliant at hiring the right hard working people, but I will be back any and every possible time Im craving a pizza or chicken philly in the area read more

Poor customer service. Bad attitudes. Got sick last time there. Food is meh. Keep looking around. There are plenty of choices nearby

Thankfully I came before the lunch crowd! Due to the high volume of hungry construction workings looking for something good and hot to eat on their lunch break, Marina's pizza can get pretty busy pretty quickly! The absolute best chicken bacon ranch pizza is served here and only for $8 for two slices and a drink. The sweet tea was really good too and the workers are fast and friendly. read more

Great server. Less than mediocre food. My pasta wasn't drained and it was a soupy mess. Big portions of mediocre food. I will not be returning. read more

Awesome place, everyone is super helpful and friendly and the food tastes very good and on point.

I was very disappointed with my pizzas tonight. We have been eating here every few months for the past 5 years and it was our favorite local pizza place. Ordered two pizzas tonight and the quality had noticeably decreased. The flavor was different and the crust wasn't good. The garlic knots had changed and seemed like they were cooked from being frozen. I don't know what has changed in the past few months since we last went, but I will not be going back. The price is too much for the decreased quality. read more

Went on a Friday night at 7. Asked for 2 Sicilian slices & 2 regular slices. Was told we don't sell slices after 2pm Uhhh bye bye You just lost all of my business So this review is based on NOT Eating their food. read more

We ordered two Philly cheesesteaks to go and they were excellent. The steak was finely chopped and veggies were nice and fresh. The portions were great. The sandwich was packed with plenty of steak. It was a good value for the price. When I called in the order and picked it up the staff was friendly and the service was quick. I look forward to trying their pizza. read more
