Verona Pizza & Italian Restaurant

The food is good. If you are looking for atmosphere, this is not the place. I have been there a few times, but was there last night with a group of 8. Everyone at the table got their food, except me. I had ordered a pizza. Two other tables that ordered well after our order was placed got their pizzas. Mine finally arrived after everyone else at our table was done eating as well as the tables that ordered after us. They just said they were backed up. We all figured either my pizza was given to someone else or they forgot to put in the order. I had this happen at another pizza place and they admitted their mistake and comped the pizza. All I got was — we are sorry, he is just backed up. Had it been my restaurant, I would not have charged someone who waited almost an hour for a pizza. I may go back, but will more likely go to the one who manned up to their mistake and made it right. Good customer service makes a huge difference.

Quiet little slice of New York! Great hand tossed pies in this family run restaurant. We have been eating here for 5+ years. You will not see many advertisements but the place is always full. Trust your nose, this is an authentic place. Be sure to ask about the lunch specials as they do not have a board up about them. $ 5.99 gets you two large slices and a drink. NO heat lamps here. Expect it made fresh.

Hidden gem in a strip mall… food has always been spot on. While the dine-​in area of this restaurant is smaller than some, it is quaint and clean. Parking is ample, which is good because their to-​go business keeps people coming in and out for their food. The service staff is fast and friendly. The pizza is delicious, and the steak sub was large and flavorful. My only negative, and it is purely personal, as I am in a wheel chair, the restrooms are hard to navigate to when they are busy.

My husband picked up our veggie pizza w/​sausage to-​go. We got the 18″. He mentioned the pizza guy was tossing the dough in the air when he arrived, and I was pleased to hear that, as my very favorite pizza place (1200 miles away:() makes their own dough, and the best, imho, and I’m always comparing, SO hand tossed is a good start. The dough wasn’t bad, not great, but not bad. It isn’t the doughy, heavy, greasy Greek kind. I did like the sauce, a touch sweet, which isn’t for everyone. The toppings, other than the onions, were either frozen or canned, and they did not skimp, actually, too many, imo. It had a fair amount of cheese that was melted, but not browned. There are other pizza places around I will try, but I wouldn’t refuse to go back. Would have preferred to give 3.5 stars, but rounded up rather than down.

Fast and good service. The pizza sauce is very good, with a tinge of sweetness to it. Eggplant parm is to die for. Although our favorite is the meatballs– either by themselves or slices thinly on a pizza

We’ve been here a few times. Fast, friendly service, AWESOME NY-​style pizzas, ok pricing. This is where we go when we have a pizza craving, and it always does the trick.

I wish I could give this place a 3 ½ stars. I am, of course, over critical of pizza though being from the Northeast. Had the Meatsa Pizza (Meat lovers). The place is small but that is ok if your pizza is great. This pizza… just ok. Solid effort in the toppings, sauce, and cheese but it lacks the dough and crust to make it truely a great pizza.
I will be back to try it again along with other items.

I work in Sarasota/​Bradenton area weekly and found Verona. Great service and had a good lunch crowd. When in area again I’ll be back.

Eat in, take out, friendly staff. Try the meatzza pizza and a Calabrese salad! You won’t be disappointed.

We had the pepperoni pizza & ravioli … I have to say it was awesome! Taste was amazing! Customer service was wonderful! I will def be back !

Yummy pizza and friendly staff. Hid away in a shopping center but it’s good to come in and eat or take out for lunch or dinner.

Their pizza is average. I enjoyed the eggplant pizza, better than some I have had. Nothing particularly stand out about this place.

It is the best Italian pizza I have had ever had in my life. It’s thin and large and juicy. Occasionally might be a little more greasy but still is the best pizza I have ever hade in all of Florida. I would recommend this place for only if you are in the mood for Italian food and you are very hungry. The best pizza in the area!

Recently had dinner at Verona’s and we were very happy with everything there. The service was a little slow, but they were busy and a small operation. The food was exceptionally good as was the service. I look forward to eating there again in the near future.

Love their pizza (tons of toppings where most places just scatter a handful) but the best thing is their wings. Verona’s wings are large, not the skinny wings with no meat on the bones I’ve gotten used to. Their sauces are great too. Beware of the hot wings if you can’t take real heat. Also, we usually order the stuffed mushrooms. Delicious!

Best Steak and Cheese sub in Bradenton. Bring your appetite. We have lunch here all the time. The food is always good.

I ordered lasagna and onion rings for delivery and not only did it take over an hour for delivery on a week night, the food was horrible, the onion rings were soggy and not salted, the lasagna tasted worse, they use only can tomato paste or it comes in frozen but that’s exactly what it tasted like… A can of tomato paste poured over lasagna pasta, barely any hamburger, just specks, no seasoning, it was bland and truly awful. Maybe they have good pizza, but I will never order again to find out.
Both items were cold when delivered, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone I know.

The Absolutely WORST so called «Italian pizza» in my life… tried a 2^nd time and the same… NEVER AGAIN.

We just ordered a pizza and a salad to-​go. They got the order wrong (we ordered half cheese/​half everything and we got half everything/​half everything minus pepperoni). There were way too many toppings, you couldn’t even pick up a slice without everything falling off. The crust was soggy and the sauce was weirdly sour. The dressing that came with the antipasto salad was a very sour raspberry vinaigrette, not edible. We threw most of it away. Very disappointing.

The best pizza in Bradenton as far as my family is concerned… we eat here all the time… try the garlic knots too… ask for them to be made Stephanie’s way…
