Il Panificio Pizzeria - Sarasota

We've been here regularly for 12 years. Best pizza in the area... but the absolutely VERY Best was recently served by new staff: Julia, Katerina and Anna! Best pizza in 12 years! Perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Kudos to 3 busy people who know what they do.

I pre-ordered and paid for 3 pizzas at noon because I had to pick them up at 6:00 to make a party. I was there at 6:00 and my pizza hadn't been made yet. I loved her pizza, but won?

Place was great when the old man worked there. Now they just lost a touch of everything where the pizza and two calzone came to $63 and the calzone had no cheese and three pieces of pepperoni in it. Whatever happened to this place.

Heard it is a great place for lunch with a great deli and bakery. Their pizza selection is vast. You choose a slice from about a dozen pies on display then they heat it for you.That's about it. No deli and only a few bakery items. Pizza was okay. Maybe a 5 out of 10 stars.

Slow service, but really good pizza. It's a good spot downtown to sit outside and eat pizza. This is a real institution, it's been around for decades. Your can also get Italian deli items and bottles of wine. Update 7/15/22: There was an incident with an uncivil employee, but the owner made it right and that employee doesn't work there anymore. It's good to see a family owned business survive in Sarasota, I'm glad this place is still around. Give it a try.
