Go, Sports!

Where to Get Great Takeout for the Super Bowl

We all know the best part of the Big Game is the food.

We’ve cheered for our teams. We’ve stayed up way too late on Sunday nights. And for some of us, dedicated fandom has paid off.

That’s right: We're talking about Super Bowl LX, coming at us on Sunday, Feb. 8. In a face-off between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, there can only be one winner.

Real talk: This writer knows next to nothing about sports, aside from SEC football (go Gators!). But the Super Bowl also means snacks. So. Many. Snacks.

If you’re the kind of person who throws a big party for your friends every year, you may have your menu planned. But for those who aren’t so organized, but still want to chow down while watching the game, check out our list of great places to get takeout to celebrate all things Super Bowl.

Food + Beer

Multiple locations, eatfooddrinkbeer.com

With five convenient locations around the region and a menu full of munchables, Food + Beer is an obvious choice. Tuck into a giant Bavarian pretzel or homestyle nuggets for finger food that won't distract you from the game.

Origin Craft Beer & Pizza Café

Multiple locations, originpizzacafe.com

Origin Pizza Café boasts several outposts around the area for maximum access to football-friendly food. Pizzas with an assortment of creative toppings dominate the menu, but we're here for the wings. They are huge, well-seasoned and the juiciest in town. Don't forget the extra napkins.

Casa Masa

2773 Bee Ridge Road, Sarasota, (941) 922-9078; 4862 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, (941) 921-0578, casamasa-srq.com

Hear us out: We want a big box of tacos while watching a football game. Tacos are, in fact, a perfect football food: handheld, customizable and heartburn-inducing. At Casa Masa, the tortillas are freshly made from blue corn and the salsa steals the show, with its balanced heat. Throw in some esquites (think: street corn but cut off the cob) for good measure.

Kolucan

6644 Gateway Ave., Sarasota, (941) 921-3133, kolucan.com

Sarasota's newest upscale Mexican restaurant is bringing it down home this Super Bowl. They've upped the takeout game with six different platters: Fajitas, quessadillas, tacos, sopes and taquitos are all available for your game day party, but it's the chicken wings that have us the most excited. Kolucan is frying up dozens of wings, tossing them in salsa roja and finishing them with cotija cheese and avocado ranch.

Solorzano's

3604 Webber St., Sarasota, (941) 927-4992, solorzanobros.com

Not to be confused with other pizzerias of a similar name, at the Solorzano's on Webber Street, we like the "centrello" pizza (a white pizza with onions, spinach, tomatoes and basil), but we would never tell you how to order your favorite pie.

Ginza

5428 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, (941) 342-9283, ginza5428.com

Chinese takeout and sushi may not be the first thing that crosses your mind when you think of football, but Ginza’s takeout game is on point. Why not switch up your order this year? Grab a couple of rounds of krab Rangoons, some fried pork dumplings and spring rolls for some finger foods. Throw in a spicy tuna roll or two and thank us later.

Brick's Smoked Meats

1528 State St., Sarasota, (941) 993-1435, brickssmokedmeats.com

We had to throw in some barbecue for the Chiefs fans out there. While Brick's skews Texas-style, you can still get a mean rack of ribs here. Bust out your favorite barbecue sauce or try something new, and don't forget the sides. The pimiento mac 'n' cheese is the stuff of dreams.

Artisan Cheese Company

550 Central Ave., Sarasota, (941) 951-7860, artisancheesecompany.com

Pinkies up for a fancy charcuterie board of which cheesy dreams are made. We love chicken wings, tacos and cheeseburgers as much as the next guy, but a big cheese board overflowing with international dairy equally delights. We love the idea of elevating a bar snack smorgasbord with a dash of sophistication.

Capo Pazzo

2053 Reynolds St., Sarasota, (941) 487-8677, ordercapopazzo.com

If you're down in south Sarasota, swing by this little pizzeria that serves pizza so good it will make any New York transplant relieved about their decision to move here. At Capo, the pizza is perfectly thin, with charred edges and New York pizza’s signature flop, and best enjoyed folded in half. Grab a pie topped with whatever your heart desires, and pair it with an order of arancini, fried risotto balls stuffed with cheese and a tomatoey bolognese.
