Best pizza in Sarasota. Both locations are great, but Siesta seems to be even better than great. Friendly service. Delicious food. As a Sarasota native having been visiting Il Pan since I was in elementary school, I can’t recommend enough!!
I always come here when I visit Siesta! Love the BBQ chicken pizza. I like to take a slice to go and eat it at the beach!
I had the bean burger which was very good. Also try the cole slaw with pineapple. It was unusual for me being a northerner. And it was delicious. Also, the bean and corn medley was excellent.
My family ordered three pizza’s from here and they were absolutely amazing! This restaurant uses quality ingredients and it shows. The slices are big and loaded with toppings. The delivery service was prompt, on-time and the delivery staff are extremely friendly and were very pleasant to deal with. We will 100% be ordering again soon! Best pizza in Siesta/Sarasota.
If you’re looking for an easy, delicious take-out option, give this place a try! The pizza is a great size for a good price, not to mention it’s really good! I’m not sure why this place has so many negative reviews, because it’s a 10/10 from my group of 5. The service was great as well.
Great Neapolitan style pizza. Thin crust, very flavorful. Caesar salad had one of the best house made dressings I have ever had. Staff was very attentive.
Very delicious pizza and they actually make a large pizza!! We found out they actually deliver to the beach as well! We didn’t know until our last day but will definitely check that option out next time
Update 6/27/25 I was desperate for take out and did not want to leave the island so I gave up and ordered online from here. To my surprise and joy, the $33 pizza is now $29. Sure, it is just $4, but at least they are willing to come down. There was a "taxes and fees" line that seemed to be more than taxes, but the total of $29 included that. Thanks guys, I will now be back every time I want pizza. FYI, you can add sausage to a Build Your Own pizza online, what's with that? old: This was my favorite pizza place and the pizza is very good, but the price has become intolerable. I ordered a large with pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese. I was shocked that it was $33. A couple days later, I looked at the receipt and they charged me 3.99% for using my credit card. I did not see a sign warning me of that or suggesting I pay by cash, it just seems they hid it, hoping I was a tourist that would not notice and didn't mind paying $33 for a pizza on vacation. Nope, I live here and loved the pizza. No more. Off to Rico's across the bridge. Oh, and they spin around the touch pad and it asks me if I want to give a 20% tip for getting handed a pizza to go.
