Our Greek Power Bowl is packed with blackened shrimp, Kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki, and rice, all tossed in Greek vinaigrette.

This Mediterranean favorite was inspired by the EVP Eleni Sokos's family’s roots and the recipes behind our sister restaurant, Café on St. Armands.

Now available at all Anna Maria Oyster Bar locations (except the Pier). View the full menu at OysterBar.net/OlivesToOysters

Introducing the O.G. Greek Salad from our Olives to Oysters limited-time menu, a dish inspired by family, tradition, and the flavors that connect all of us through the sea. Created in collaboration with our sister restaurant Café on St. Armands and shaped by Executive Vice President Eleni Sokos’ family traditions at Demetrios' Pizza House and Kefi Streetside Cafe, this salad celebrates our shared story.

The O.G. Greek Salad with blackened chicken brings together crisp romaine, tomato, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta, all tossed in the beloved 1976 dressing from Demetrios’. Fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor!

Available for a limited time at all Anna Maria Oyster Bars, excluding Anna Maria Oyster Bar on the Pier.

UPDATE: Richard Parcels placed the highest bid at $1,000.00. Together with the matching donors we raised $7,000.00 for the Bill Baker Memorial Foundation whose purpose is to provide a scholarship to a student in need at Manatee Technical College or a similar educational institution in the field of auto body collision repair and restoration. Bill Baker was our owner's, Gus D Sokos, father-in-law and like us was very giving to the community.

ORIGINAL: Most of you have mentioned in your posts the generosity that we have shared with our community. We have always said that we did it because the community was so good to us. As the days wound day it was suggested that we auction off the last pizza to a charity and to let that be our “last contribution”. We love the idea and expended on that. We have located an original table from the early 80’s that we will include with the last large pizza (winner’s choice on toppings) and Helen will throw in one of her world famous Greek salads. Unfortunately you must consume the last pizza today.

Gus and Lisa Sokos will match the winning bid up to $1,000.00. Additionally some of their awesome friends are also offering matching donations.
Shannon Glasgow, $1,000.00
John Horne, $1,000.00
Erik Marshall, $500.00
Robert Ricciardo, $500.00
Curt Mahoney, $500.00
Terry Wilson, $500.00
Sid Jones, $500.00
Scott Monroe, $500.00

The auction will END at 6:00 pm today.
Thank you for your genericity.

Today marks the end of an era for all of us. We’ve been joking with people that you all are the ones who are sad, we are happy! Retirement is the goal, right? And we are HAPPY and excited. 🤩😍 But, we can’t deny that we’re also feeling nostalgic and emotional and probably a little sadness and a bit of fear about the unknown. 😰

Coming here every day to make pizzas and serve our customers-turned-friends is all we know! We had a lot of ideas for how we wanted these last two weeks to go, but we could have NEVER imagined how it’s actually gone.

Two hour wait times for 2+ weeks straight. Countless hugs, goodbyes, and thank you’s. The most pizzas ever made in a day, and then more the next day. Dozens of cards and flower arrangements. News crew after news crew. It’s been beyond our wildest dreams. We ALL feel loved, appreciated, and validated. Thanks for believing in, and supporting, our American dream.

So, as we prepare to open our doors the last time, a few super important announcements that we need your help to share!

🍝 We will, and I repeat WILL, run out of product today, and sooner than we planned!
🍕There’s a very good chance that our waiting list will close by 4pm so we can ensure a great experience for our diners. We cannot guarantee much longer than that. Please do not wait until the evening because we hate to disappoint you.
🥗 There is also a good chance we will not be able to accept takeout orders 😰
❤️ Our amazing crew is tired - please continue to show them kindness and patience. We will recognize them and share their future plans in the coming days.

THANK YOU!!!

Trying to keep up with the demand. Getting an early start

Paula (and the rest of us!) invite you back for LUNCH this week, when we'll be open from 11am-7:30pm daily.

🥗 Our LUNCH SPECIAL this week will be a little different than usual. For those looking for their favorite "combo meal," you can add on the mini Greek Salad or Chicken Orzo for $2.99.

As you've no doubt heard, it's been very BUSY here and we're very much appreciating those who are waiting in line patiently, enjoying their final visits, and saying goodbye to our team.

A few requests so we can serve you best:

🍕 We are NOT accepting reservations.
🍕 Patience, please. If we estimate a wait time for your table, and it's longer, it's probably because fond farewells are taking time ❤️
🍕 Our menu is officially limited so our kitchen can serve you faster. Last week, we discontinued Fries and this week, no Sandwiches. 🥲
🍕 While we know many utilize Uber Eats and DoorDash to get DPH delivered, we've discontinued these apps. Please call 941-758-6478 for carry-out. You might have to wait on hold, but this is the only way we can guarantee your order arrives fresh and represents our product in the best way. It hurt us to see some drivers not show up for hours last week!
🍕 We kindly request (but will not require) that your group be fewer than 12 people at one table. It helps if larger groups are willing to split into separate tables. Another thing that helps with our timing is not requesting split checks. 🙏
🍕 Folks are having fun "tailgating" in the parking lot. One bunch called ahead for a reservation, and rather than being disappointed, they took us up on the suggestion to bring lawn chairs! We will be happy to pour you a beer while you wait! 🍻

This is a guy we’re extremely proud of. Skyler started with us 10 years ago (which is hard to believe!) as a busser. He’s evolved so much in the last decade and now is one of our star servers. He’s a truly terrific person and has been a fantastic asset to our family.

Skyler’s going to enjoy some well-deserved rest before he finds his next restaurant family, which we’re sure he’ll make very happy!

This is our friend Scott. Scott remembers coming here for the first time as a kid after a movie at DeSoto Square Mall and his Mom said, “hey, let’s go try this new Italian place!” And the rest was history.

Scott lives in Georgia now, but whenever he comes home to visit his Mom, Demetrios’ is his first stop. When he heard that we are retiring next week, he flew down to get one last meal with us. 🥺🥺

And Scott’s not the only one. We’ve heard of people driving from all over the state, and beyond, to visit us one last time. Thank you for showing up for us like this ❤️❤️
