Vertoris Pizza House

This place seems to have deteriorated lately as far as service goes, ordered 40.00 worth of pizza … First delivery was 30 minutes late, pizza was cold… I gave the driver a 2.00 tip and the driver looked at me and said «are you fing kidding me!»
Wow need I say more? Called to talk to manager but there was no manager, left my number for owner but no call back.
I would stay away

This is a typical pizza place in a strip mall but don’t let that put you off. The food is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. We had the margarita pizza with the thin crust and it was as good as any pizza that we’ve had. Also had a salad and decided to go with the house dressing which is a Chianti dressing. Excellent choice. The eggplant parmigiana was very good and the tomato sauce was nice and thick with chunks of tomato. I would order this again. Highly recommend this place.

Service was very bland. The owner was not very friendly (no personality whatsoever). He waited on us the entire visit. Vacationing and visiting with family and chose to come here for dinner due to seeing that they had a vegan menu on Unilocal.Family ordered a large meat lovers and I ordered a 10′ vegan pizza. They messed up on the vegan pizza (putting pepperonis on it) and it came back out 20 minutes late, after my party was already finished eating. Still charged us full price for the vegan pizza. Extremely overpriced for a 10′ and several additional toppings. Very unpleased with service. Would not recommend.

A friend recommended vertori’s to me last spring. I finally got over there and took a friend with me. We both loved it. We had the Wednesday special — eggplant lasagne. It was fabulous. The red sauce was the best ever. The garlic knots are a must. Will go back.

Wonderful dining experience. Excellent food and service. This is hands down my favorite restaurant I’ve been to while staying on Anna Maria. I am very sensitive to gluten, and I am confident in this restaurant to not contaminate my food. The gluten free menu is HUGE and a little overwhelming for someone used to such limited choices. It’s a refreshing challenge to have. Also, the dessert case was all gluten free. I feel spoiled and can’t wait to return. Thanks Vertoris for the great experience!!!

This find had me super excited after eating lots of salads (being a veggie and GF is difficult in FL)! The cheese crust pizza was AMAZING! Not like the typical frozen/​reheat you get most places. These guys know their GF and it was amazing to hear them get excited about «trying new recipes»!
Their mozz sticks were fabulous and my non– GF friend was hooked. Homemade sauce was just like being in NY.
Do yourself a favor and get one of their baked treats. The turtle brownie was a special late-​night treat.

The gluten free pizza was still excellent, but the staff was very rude. I hope to see better service next time I’m in Sarasota.

Secret time I’ve ordered from them the guys on the phone are not very pleasant. The food is average at best. Nothing really to brag about.

Family owned and operated! We were in town looking for carry out on our last night in town. The owner’s father waited on us, and he was so friendly. They also have great gluten free options and yummy GF desserts. We will be back!

Will go back again and try there other dishes. Had a medium thin crust mushroom and sausage pizza and it was good! Will be back and try other pies. It was a takeout I did for me and my wife. Wife is picky and she said it was good and where did I go to get it. It is near enough to the house that I will be back for sure.

Absolutely Amazing! The quality of the food was outstanding! I had gluten free mozzarella sticks, gluten free toasted ravioli, gluten free eggplant parmesan, and gluten free key lime pie!!! I haven’t had any of that in 5 years!!! We are on vacation for a week and we will be going back again! I recommend this place to any person who wants amazing gluten free food. My family said the regular items were just as good!!! Can’t wait to try another gluten free dish and dessert!

Grub Guru stopped in this joint last week and ordered the bruchetta– it was ok… not good. Ordered Hawaiian pizza– good… but not great. Ordered eggplant parm sandwich– bland… asked for more marinara. Chicken parm sandwich the same and vegan eggplant entrée was so-​so. $ 72 Bill… wow. Owners have been through some personal obstacles and being from the northeast, I was hoping to have some classic NY style pie and fare. They have enormous potential!

I ordered shrimp scampi with pasta.
Shrimp was salty like it sat in salted water for a month. And the pasta was like eating cream of wheat. All mushy save your self a trip…

A mere shadow of what it was a year ago! Early 2014 the gluten free pizza was ambrosia. What was once a delicious crust is now a burnt chard! I am not exaggerating this place will not be around much longer after the obvious nose dive in food quality. Seriously the gluten free frozen pizza at Trader Joe’s is better! The is a real review by a real person; in the news Hillary Clinton is being criticized for her email errors

Ate here with my husband, brother and his wife after reading they were vegan and gluten free friendly and we were not disappointed. The crust on my gluten free pizza was thin and crispy. I got the vegan option and was very happy with it even though a section of the crust was a bit too brown. It is family owned and operated. Our waitress was also the owner and said she makes her own gluten free flour and does all the baking. They also had a gluten free, vegan lasagna and eggplant Parmesan I would love to try. Husband was happy to see a pizzaghetti on the menu which he ordered. We used to have a pizza place and he would bake a similar pizza for our family. It is pizza crust topped with spaghetti and meatballs and he loved it. Brother was very happy with his fish sandwich and sister in law ordered a delicious looking chicken barbecue pizza that she loved. Will definitely go back sometime.
The place is an inauspicious looking strip center but we were pleased to have the option of eating in at some nice tables or dining outside at a couple of tables.

Who knew that in a small town like this you could find a restaurant with a full-​on vegan Italian menu? I absolutely love the food at Vertoris. They have real delicious and savory vegan dishes here; don’t expect salad as your only option if you are a vegan or vegetarian. What’s even better is that their portions are HUGE and their vegan menu is decently priced/​quite modest, in my opinion. I always end up taking food home when I come here, because they always give you so much for the price. I definitely recommend doing the create your own pizza, as well as my favourite appetizers: vegan garlic knots and vegan potato skins (so good!) Definitely try this place if you are a vegetarian or vegan!

A pizza place in Bradenton that offers a vegan menu! Based off location you wouldn’t expect much from this place but I’ve been here a handful of times and the food is consistently good! Plus they have vegan cupcakes :)
Definitely a great local business to support.

I have never seen so many good Gluten-​Free options on a Menu!!! This restaurant is wonderful. From the service to the food, it can’t be beat. As someone who has been Gluten– Free for 8 years this is the first time I have been able to walk into a shop and order GF food that taste like real Italian food. Being an Italian from NY, this is something I have greatly missed.
The owner will be at the shop often, and you can’t miss him. He is down-​to-​earth and remembers all the regulars orders as they walk in. He has a great sense of humor and makes you feel welcome.
I feel that Bradenton is lucky to have such a place.

**WARNING: If you are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease, steer clear from this place as you will definitely get cross contamination! More on that below.***
My husband and I gave Vertoris two chances, and both were quite possibly the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. It’s a small, grimy little restaurant (think gas station bathrooms and sticky floors) with overpriced flavorless food, rude staff and excruciatingly slow service.
On our first visit, their dough-​based foods (pizza/​garlic knots/​ravioli) were rubbery and bland and LOADED with oil, and their cupcakes were inedibly dry with a mayo-​consistency frosting (we barely mustered a bite.) The horrible service pushed it over the top.
I normally would never revisit a place like this, but after being diagnosed with a gluten allergy, I decided to give their large GF menu a chance. I called ahead to ask about the contamination and they acted like they didn’t want to be bothered. As it turns out, all of their food is contaminated. Gluten is airborne and the GF food is prepared in the same kitchen and baked in the same ovens as the rest of their food. (Scratch-​made dough and hand-​tossed pizzas = lots of flying flour. The air almost feels thick with flour.) To top it off, the kitchen is open, with no wall blocking flour from flying all around diners heads. It only takes a trace amount of gluten to make an intolerant person sick for up to 5 months. I know that’s not their problem, but it is if they falsely advertise a GF menu.
We waited about 15 minutes before we got our drinks, and another 45 minutes for appetizers, and our waiter (presumably the owner) was as grumpy as Mr. Wilson. The food the second time around was just as bland and greasy (especially the pizza), although the GF mozz sticks were pretty good. In the end, we both left with queazy stomachs and my husband had to rush home for the bathroom, if you get my drift.
I wouldn’t mind the horribly long wait or the rude staff IF the food was amazing and truly gluten free. But because their food is nothing special (and sometimes downright inedible), and comes with a sure risk of contamination, it’s just not worth it and we will surely never be back. With such rotten attitudes, they might want to ask themselves why exactly they have a restaurant in the first place.

We had carryout from this place the other day and were pretty impressed! The reason we stopped in was because they offered a vegan menu.
We ordered the Margherita pizza with the 9 grain crust and the eggplant appetizer. The sauces were very fresh tasting and nicely spiced. The pizza crust was also unusually good. The eggplant appetizer was a bit pricey, but also tasty.
Overall, I liked the place a lot. I’d just like to see even healthier options and perhaps a few more vegan additions, but really that’s just nitpicking. We were very pleased and will be back!
P. S. I love their little signs posted around the place. I’ll share a picture of one.
