Score
Across the available record, Long Island Brothers Pizza has seven inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 13, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around six violations lately and about 12 violations before that.
When inspectors have written things up, “no chemical test kit provided when using sanitizer” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
Restaurants in North Port average 78, so Long Island Brothers Pizza trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
