Oma's Pizza and Italian Restaurant

This was the best place ever. the pizza was really really good and everything was really good on the menu 👍 and they have pasta and everything you need to have a great time +the water was THE BEST I literally drank 2 full cups and almost did a third water is just AMAZING. Please eat here you won't regret it trust me👍👍

Best pizza in Manatee-Sarasota counties. We order a cheese pizza with ricotta and garlic, and it is absolutely delicious. The people are very friendly, and obviously take pride in their quality and ingredients. After trying several places closer to home, I’m willing to take the ride from south Sarasota for this pizza. Other places need to take notes. Only criticism is that the indoor dining area isn’t exactly clean. Tons of dust on the blinds and the seating is in rough condition (although the kitchen looks very clean). We prefer to take out anyway. Will be a customer as long as we live in the area.

This is an OG restaurant and I know why its been around so long…. The food is fantastic. Friends and I had a bacon and mushroom pizza along with a side of penne alfredo and cheesy garlic bread. It was the perfect meal to end a long and fun day on the island. I suggest patio dining.

It was so good, we ate here 2 nights! Best pizza in town. Paula was great. We will definitely be back next year!

We would have never come here without the recommendation from Janice. The food was great but she was the experience! Ask for her, she will steer you right with the food. They are so lucky to have her! She made the experience worthwhile! Will recommend the food because of her and we will be back to see her. Love from Ohio! Xoxo

The food was amazing and very unique. The server was very nice. Will be back again for sure🍕💕

Best pizza I’ve had in a long time! We had a great anniversary dinner ! Walter was a great server and I hope we get him again.

Oma’s was a bright spot on an otherwise dreary evening. Popped into Oma’s on a rainy night. Wow - glad we tried it. Atmosphere is so cozy. And you can’t ask for nicer, helpful staff. Kinda felt like we were family. Of course, the most important thing is the food - and Oma’s was so good. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp - fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I’ve heard the pizza is a ‘must try’ - so I can’t wait to get back for a few more taste tests.

My family and I are visiting florida for a week, and this has been the best food we’ve eaten so far. We just ordered a large pepperoni pizza, but it was absolutely delicious. When I went in and picked it up, everyone was super nice, I even talked to a ton of other customers who were also very nice, very approachable as well. I tipped, and the lady told me that people who dine in don’t even tip, which shocked me very much. I loved this place and would very much recommend it to everyone!
— also something that was very cool, as soon as you walk in, you can see the cooks making the food behind the counter!

#2 on our pizza favorites (#1 in Las Vegas and #3 in Indy local). Eeked by #2 due to first ever sausage slices not chunks, fresh green pepper chunks not slivers, sauce almost like #3 and thinner crust than both competitors. Super garlic buttery bread (not sticks) is a unique winner and the meatballs meat ground soooo fine not lumpy. We've vidited the area 5 times and finally in off peak season so parked in their lot and had a pleasant lunch. The waitress was old and feisty but hey you expect that in an Italian joint. The decor exactly what I expected, felt like I was in NYC. Would visit again but not too soon as they claim to have the largest pizza and we have a lot of leftovers!

At the recommendation of friends, we visited Oma's pizza and completely enjoyed ourselves! I don't know where or why the negative reviews for bad atmosphere - bad food - bad et cetera.
Our hostess/server was very enjoyable! The building is a bit antiquated, but I take no marks away for that. Our seating area was clean, well lit, and comfortable.
We were quickly seated,. We received our drinks immediately, and our orders were taken within 5 minutes of us being there. Our pies were delivered very quickly (piping hot) as well the order of ravioli. While the pies may not have been the best I've ever eaten...they were, no less, very delicious!

This was the bright spot for our dining experiences while on AMI. Every other restaurant had piss poor even ride service subpar food at best. OMAS on the other hand was outstanding. From rhe pizza, to the mandala to the Canoli. Best part? This is truly a family biz. Touched me seeing the grown daughter interaction with her mom. Great job folks!

Sad to say, it’s taken us this long to visit this Bradenton Beach landmark. Kind of a dreary Saturday night weather wise but that didn’t stop this place from being packed. The staff was friendly and efficient and got us right in to be seated.

Pizza toppings were fresh, the pie was hot and flavorful. It’s was outstanding.

While we scored with a great spot, the parking situation is a little limiting. Having said that, persevere if you can’t find a spot and walk a little if you have to; their pizza is worth it.

If you are visiting on vacation, make sure this place makes it on the list to eat at.

Been eating here for over a decade - the pizza is really great! I love the cozy booths/ambiance inside - I really really hope they never remodel (it's a bit dated in there) and decide to "modernize" the interior, as it would be a shame. Anyhow, I felt compelled to finally leave a review because I was recently there and not in a pizza mood, so I got the chicken marsala....and WOW! It is SO good, I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Love this place - it is an island staple!

Excellent place for delicious pizzas! Honestly, this restaurant was more Italian than Italy itself. And I mean this as a compliment! It’s a bit small, so it can fill up fairly quick.

We were greeted immediately by the lady behind the counter. Lisa was our server and was extremely friendly. For starters, we had the house salad and a single antipasto salad. My antipasto was great, but a bit generous for a single serving. I suppose it’s meant more as an entre if anything than an app. Regardless, no complaints with the dishes. We were happy with what we got.

Of course we ordered a large pizza for dinner. The restaurant offers many traditional toppings, along with their signature pizza, deep dish options, calzones, etc. We ordered our large simply with garlic, onions, and sausage. Since we were enjoying our salads, it didn’t feel long before the pizza arrived.

The large is definitely a large! The pizza itself is more of a thin crust, which I was happy about as that is what I prefer. It had the right amount of sauce and cheese. It felt like there was extra onions, but no complaints there! It was a delicious pizza. We were quite happy with the way it turned out. We couldn’t finish the entire thing so we took it home with us.

I’m from out of town. But whenever I’m back in Anna Maria Island, and I’m tired of the typical seafood options, Oma is a nice change of pace with an authentic feel to Italian family type of place.

Me and my fiancée come to the island every year for the past 4 years I grab pizza at least 3 times for the 10 days we spend here and it has been consistently amazing every time we have it. My step daughter doesn’t like pizza and she eats it. Something different of a sauce sweet but not to sweet and an excellent crispy crust definitely worth the stop

Oma's slaps everytime! Hands down the best authentic Italian restaurant! Shout out to the man who delivered our food on Christmas Eve night, nicest delivery guy we have ever had! They said it would take about 45 minutes, but it got there in 20! Pizza slayed.

Great tasting pizza . The waitress was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our meal

Family of 6 from across the Skyway bridge stopped in around 9pm on Friday May 23, 2020.

I was delighted by this place being open and saw people eating inside and lots of people coming in and out for takeout. I knew by this that I wasn't going to go wrong here. We decided to get a couple pies to go.

Everyone was friendly and they made our pizzas in 20 minutes and gave us paper plates to use on the road.

The pizzas were good. The sauce was sweet, but being of Italian descent and grew up on NY pizza, I thought this pie was pretty darn good

Our goal was to pick up 2 pepperoni pizzas and drive to a beach area and eat it enjoying the gulf breeze. Unfortunately the best we could do is stop by Kingfish boat ramp as all the beaches in the area were closed still. The boat ramp stunk like dead fish so we are in the car driving home.

Clean and we'll lit. Friendly and fast. I'd stop by again next time we venture south of the skyway

This is a wonderful restaurant, and they’ve been consistently providing the best pizza for so many years on Anna Maria. I love the entire vibe of the restaurant and it’s also great for takeout. Oma’s, Thank you for sharing your amazing food and giving me so many wonderful memories.
