Pizza Takeout and Pickup in Sarasota
Order online, we bake it fresh, you grab it at the counter. Free lot right out front at 6711 15th St E, five minutes from I-75 exit 217 — and the price on the menu is the price you pay, with none of the 15 to 30 percent markup the delivery apps add.
How Takeout Works Here
Nearly half of everything that leaves this kitchen goes out as pickup or takeout, so the process is built around getting you back on the road quickly.
Order online or call
Two minutes online, or call (941) 758-8700 if you would rather talk to someone. Pay online or at the counter, your choice.
We bake it fresh
Nothing sits in a warming box. Dough proofed 24 hours, baked in olive-oil seasoned pans. Most orders are ready in 15 to 20 minutes.
Grab it and go
Pull into the free lot, walk up to the counter. Curbside is available too — call when you arrive and we will bring it out.
Why Order Takeout Instead of Delivery
- No app markup, no service feeA large cheese is $16.49 at our counter and $16.49 on our own ordering page. Third-party apps typically inflate restaurant menu prices by 15 to 30 percent before fees and tips.
- No minimum orderDelivery needs a $15 minimum. Pickup does not — a single $2.99 slice is a perfectly good carryout order.
- Anywhere, not just 4 milesOur own drivers only run 4 miles from the kitchen. Pickup is open to everyone, including Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Palmetto.
- It arrives hotterFifteen minutes in a box beats forty-five. If crust texture matters to you, carryout is the better version of the same pizza.
- Free lot out frontNo meters, no street parking, no garage. Five minutes from I-75 exit 217.
Good Takeout Orders
Verified prices from the counter. The whole menu is available for pickup, but these three are what most carryout tickets look like.
Large Cheese Pizza
A true 16 inches across — most chains around here stop at 14. Hand-tossed on 24-hour dough, baked in an olive-oil seasoned pan. See the full pizza menu.
Order for PickupLarge Pepperoni Deluxe
Double pepperoni with red pizza peppers. The most-ordered specialty pie on the menu and the one that goes out the door fastest.
Order for PickupWeekday lunch, two slices and a drink
Monday to Friday 11am to 3pm. The quickest carryout order we do — see all Sarasota lunch specials.
Order for PickupWhat travels well, and what does not
Best in the box: any of the pan pizzas, calzones and stromboli, and the baked pastas — meat lasagna and chicken parmesan hold their heat for the drive. Full list on the pasta menu.
Ask for dressing on the side: every salad already goes out that way by default, which is why they still eat properly twenty minutes later.
Eat these here if you can: shrimp scampi and anything wrapped hot, like a gyro, which softens in a closed container. Still good — just better at the table.

Takeout and Pickup FAQ
How long does pickup take?
Most pickup orders are ready 15 to 20 minutes after you order online. Large group orders and specialty pies can take a few minutes longer, and the ordering page shows an estimate at checkout.
Do you offer curbside pickup?
Yes. Order online, pull into the free lot, then call (941) 758-8700 when you arrive and we will bring it out to the car.
Is there a minimum for carryout?
No. The $15 minimum applies to delivery only. For pickup you can order a single slice if that is all you want.
Can I pay at the counter?
Yes, cash or card when you arrive. You can also pay online when you place the order so you can grab the bag and go.
Is takeout cheaper than delivery?
Yes, on two counts. There is no $2.99 delivery fee, and our menu prices are the same as in the dining room — we do not add the 15 to 30 percent markup that third-party delivery apps typically apply to restaurant menus.
Do you deliver instead?
Within 4 miles of 6711 15th St E, yes: $2.99, $15 minimum, usually 30 to 45 minutes, driven by our own staff. Free on your first online order and on orders over $60. Outside 4 miles it is pickup only. The delivery page has the zone.
Is parking free?
Yes. There is a free lot directly in front of the restaurant. No meters and no street parking to hunt for.
