Review highlights

Based on 550 reviews

Pour Decisions Bar in Sarasota garners appreciation for its convenient location, ample parking, and clean, welcoming environment. Guests frequently commend the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the freshness and quality of the pizza, which is often served hot and with cold drinks. However, some reviews indicate inconsistency in pizza preparation, with certain visits resulting in overly heavy or doughy crusts. Service speed is noted as occasionally slow during quieter times, and the overall atmosphere is described as low-key rather than lively. While the bar shows promise with potential for a more vibrant experience, patrons generally find it a reliable spot for casual dining and socializing.

This is a review for Solarzano Bros. Pizza in Gulf Gate, NOT Pour Decisions Bar. Authentic Jersey pizza. -read that again. Straight outta Hoboken. Took me two years of disappointment after disappointment, lots of money wasted and wasted time before I finally discovered the real deal, righcheer, as they say down South. - Honkey Tonk Man with Clint and Kyle Eastwood. Anyway, see the triangular cut? See underneath? Now anyone from the Tri State knows this is a sign of Jersey Pizza. Sauce is just right, mozz is of high value because it's not greasy. Just go here to get REAL pizza. Your cravings will disappear. Plus, they're open till like 2am and you can get a drink at their bar. The pics are of several days, not just one pizza but like five....over two weeks. Thanks a lot. Nice to see ya. Thanks for comin down.

InConsistent pizza : I reviewed this in the past favorably But I was there in March 2019 and it was amazingly doughy . I took a picture of the size of the crust ...was unbelievable. Flavor of sauce and cheese it was good I had to throw 1/2 of it out This is Heavy food. And some will like it but it’s not my kind of pizza.

Good, not great. I’ve been here plenty of times for a drink and a couple slices of pizza after work. There are two bartenders who have always taken relatively good care of me, so thank you for that. The mood here has never been lively but I have made good conversation with strangers and Laurie. Anyway, still give it try, this place has great potential.

I got the wings on a Friday night. It didn’t seem that busy, but the service was very slow. We started off with one waitress, then somehow we got a different one. So it just took a while to have our order taken, then once the food came out, the wings didn’t seem all that hot in temperature. As if they sat there for a while before being taken to the table. I’ve been to this location a few times but this was the first time getting food. Not a bad place for drinks and to hang out. But the wings are not the greatest.
