Bavaro's Pizza, recognized as the Best Pizza in Sarasota, marks its place as Florida's inaugural traditional Neapolitan pizzeria since its inception in March 2009. This family-operated spot, led by Dan Bavaro, his wife Anna-Maria, and their five children, embodies passion, tradition, and the pursuit of sharing their cherished family recipes. Dedicated to the authentic creation of Neapolitan pizza, Bavaro's Pizza emphasizes traditional methods, including the use of artisanal wood-fired brick ovens crafted by Neapolitan experts, a century-old sourdough starter, and family recipes that have been handed down through generations.

Originating as a establishment in downtown Tampa, Bavaro's has grown, opening branches in St. Petersburg, Tampa International Airport, and Sarasota. In 2010, an unexpected turn led to the creation of Bavaro's line of handmade gourmet sauces, further expanding their culinary offerings. From a small restaurant seating 50 guests to a new brand, Bavaro’s continues to commit itself to high quality.
