SHANER'S PIZZA – Restaurant

Former big-league pitcher Shane Rawley's thin-crust pizzeria in Sarasota's Gulf Gate since 1991, rolling fresh dough daily under quality toppings with craft beers and curated wines beside. The owner still works the room — baseball talk and card tricks for the kids included — Monday through Saturday from 11:30, Sundays from 3:30. It suits Gulf Gate thin-crust loyalists, baseball-story collectors, family pizza nights with a magic show, and Sarasotans who like their pizzeria personally pitched. A Gulf Gate fixture for over three decades, it keeps the neighborhood formula simple: good dough, good toppings, and an owner at the door.
