Very disappointed in the pizza and the garlic knots. Pizza was soggy and the garlic knots were raw balls of dough. The owner is also not flexible with his coupons. If you advertise a free cheese pizza and the customer would like to add toppings, then charge them for the extra toppings. But please don’t say that the computer can’t process such a request. In my world, it’s pretty simple, it’s called the customer is always right. I will take my business to Pavarotti’s in Dunnellon. Their pizza is great, they’re flexible with their coupons, and are open everyday!

We’ve been eating here for years(since before the new owners took over)….we’ve always had a decent meal here, but lately the pizzas are too thin with very very little sauce, and the prices have increased. It’s not soft and doughy. We got a Sicilian tonight, and it was all bread, no sauce, and a very thin layer of burned cheese. Really awful tasting!
Besides the taste, I ordered online and received a time of an hour and a half or more to pick it up (8:41-8:56pm…was ordered at 7:11pm)….thought that was odd, but it is the Friday before Christmas, so just figured they were really busy. Turns out she just gave me the wrong time to come, and the pizza was sitting there for at least a half hour waiting, and she says, “We were wondering if you were still coming”. I got there at 8:40pm!!!
That’s when I found out she thought she put in 1 hour to pick-up. No apology. I paid and took my $34 pizza and wings.
Now, let’s talk about the wings…overdone, dried out…very little sauce…none even sitting in the bottom of the container to roll them in. Also no dressing or carrot/celery sticks like they used to serve.
Just a pricy bad meal…I think we’ll be finding a new pizza place :(

Outstanding!!!! I ordered a medium pizza with pepperoni, meatballs, onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. Baked to perfection. NOT burnt on the bottom. A generous amount of toppings and cheese. Delicious sauce. Excellent service. Lorito's Italian Kitchen has been an Ocala tradition since 1970. Excellent pizza!!!

The misses and I went there tonight, ever since they changed owners it's gone down hill. It's grungy, it smells like rotten eggs the moment we entered, the food was awful, my girlfriend got food poisoning and is in the bathroom getting sick as I write this. Such a shame, this place used to be amazing, now it's a waste of money. Cooks are playing music super loud and we can hear all their nonsense from the dining area. It's such a shame the original owners sold because the new ones are ruining the place. 0/10 I and my family will never be coming back.

I stopped by here on Thursday (Feb 18) at 3:17 PM. Despite my being almost twenty minutes late for the lunch special of 2 pizza slices and a drink, the kindly manager gave me the option. Those two sizeable pieces o' pepperoni along with the a side salad made for a fantastic fare. I will be back!
Tip: Keep any Italian Vinaigrette left over from the salad to dunk the soft & chewy pizza crusts in... delicious.
