    Probably the best pizza parlor in Sarasota! We always order the "Supreme" pizza. It has everything including the kitchen sink! There's a full menu, but whenever we're in the mood for a pizza, this is where we go. The pizza's are consistently delicious.

    The pizza is great. I've been to everyplace in Sarasota and Bradenton and this is the best pizza around - and I just found out they deliver. Evie's has a special every night. We hit the Kendall Jackson Chardonnay ($6 a glass and a good pour) and pizza night. We might be there every Tuesday!!!

    We have been to Evie's many times. It's a very good sports bar. When we saw that Evie's was on Open Table and we were going to be there on a busy Friday night we made a reservation for 5 people. We did that so we could avoid a wait for a table. When we got there and we said we had a reservation, it was clear that that meant nothing to the people running Evie's. We got a table right away in any case. But I don't think the Open Table reservation system had anything to do with it.

    The Pizza was great. The server was not aware that the restaurant is an Open table and the restaurant did not have a check in area.

    Made reservation. Arrived on time. After seeking someone to seat us was told they did not take reservations and there were no tables available. Left and eat at another restaurant.

    After making a reservation on open table I got to the restaurant to find out that apparently they don't take open table reservations. There's no way they can retrieve reservations from the OpenTable system. Save yourself the time and aggravation.
