Verona Pizza & Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Florida

We frequent Verona pizza at least every other month, or when we are hungry for good Italian cuisine. During this visit the restaurant was not crowded at all. We were immediately seated, there were only two other patrons in the restaurant when we arrived. A single dinner and a Door-dash delivery driver waiting for order pick up. The restaurant was well staffed and attentive to the patrons. There were audible questions about the delivery order, and payment over requested extras and special instructions as per customer requests. These problems were resolved and the rapidly by the staff accommodating the customer's needs. This not being our first time visiting, our party was well aware of possible meal choices. During this visit we decided on our favorite preferred menú options. An appetizer order of onion rings. This order was placed prior to the main courses. Our main courses were a simple pasta choice (penne) with marinara sauce with it's complementary side house salad (honey mustard dressing on the side). We also had a large antipasta salad, and a small cheese pizza and side of fries. The service was adequate but not at it's best like in past circumstances. The wait staff weren't as attentive to details as normal. When placing the main entrée orders we requested extra napkins. They were never received, also the complementary garlic knott wasn't served with the pasta meal. And we weren't informed as to why. Whether they weren't available or just forgotten as an oversight. All the hot food arrived at the table in a timely manner as usual, and hot as expected. The portion sizes were excellent not overly large. But large enough to remain the proper temperature to leisurely dine for a full meal including the appetizer selection. The only other patron seated in the restaurant had ordered a cheesesteak. After noticing this I began regretting my decision to order the pizza, because I was reminded of how much I liked this option during past visits. But without any worries knowing I will order the sandwich when on a future visit. Thanks for the exceptional food and we already are looking forward to our...

If you are looking for that Authentic NYC Pie or an absolutely awesome Cheesesteak you can make ANY way you like; then you OWE it to yourself to come here. If you are looking for that Pizzeria from days past, or you're looking for your first bite of the best pizza you can get in Bradenton and possibly Florida as a whole, you need to try this place. Or if you have tried Veronas Pizzeria then you know what I'm talking about! So just call them up and get it to go or delivered. Or you can make it a night out and have a seat (it's small, so it is limited, but what authentic/tasty/slobberingly good pizzeria isn't???) next to the counter and watch them make your pie and smell that fresh baking goodness. It's said often, but brother, "It's ALL good!!!".

As for the pictures? I don't have any of the restaurant or the food how could I? I EAT it so fast because it's SOOOOoooo Good!. So, I just wanted you to know who I am and that I'm a down to earth guy. I grow lots of everything that you can EAT, and I eat it, so I know what GOOD food tastes like! And I'm an animal person, I have cats and squirrels that visit my greenhouse and Lanai. I bribe them with bags of shelled walnuts that I get at Costco so they leave my plants alone. Usually. My cats love going on my Lanai and watching them through the screens and seeing all the anoles and other smaller animals there and outside. I...

We drove 20 minutes to pick up the food for a to-go order. After we got home we dug into the food and here's what we found.

I ordered a calzone with tomatoes sausage and broccoli and it was amazing. The size of the calzone was humongous and worth every penny. I'm a big eater and I could not finish that Calzone. I have some for later now.

The restaurant is a little pricey but everything we ate was off-the-charts good and worth every cent you spend there. The pizza was awesome. We ordered a 14 in cheese and sausage pizza.

The jalapeno poppers were perfect. They were in a brown bag and I thought they were part of the salad so I put them in the refrigerator accidentally. By the time I realized it they had cooled down quite a bit and they were still awesome tasting.

My wife is not home yet to put her two cents in on the Greek salad we ordered for her or the cannoli. If those two things are anything like the food that I've had this far I'm sure she will love them.

I took pictures but there doesn't appear to be any way for me to upload these pictures on my phone and attach them to...
