    My boyfriend’s birthday is tomorrow, so we came all the way from Saint Pete to grab a 14” pizza and garlic bread. Our total was $36, and I tipped $6 since he always raves about Donatos. Unfortunately, the garlic bread came out very doughy. He asked if they could reheat it, and they did, but it was still doughy afterward, so we ended up throwing it away. The girl up front apologized, but that was it no offer for a refund or discount. Overall, not a great experience. We didn’t take any photos because we were disappointed with the quality.

    Best. Pizza. EVER! I live in Winter Garden, FL and wish so much we had a Donatos! Any time I go through Sarasota I’m stopping here. If you love a classic Hawaiian pizza, you NEED to try Donatos Hawaiian. It’s so insanely good. They add sliced almonds and cinnamon (along with pineapple and ham of course) which elevates the experience sooo much. Perfectly crunchy, amazing flavor, savory and sweet. Gah there’s nothing like it anywhere. And believe me I’ve tried many pizza places attempting to replace the Donatos Hawaiian. It can’t be replaced! Clean restaurant and had a peaceful time munching on my pizza while visiting (I ate at the restaurant). Highly recommend!
