    As soon as you step into Blue Highway you get a vibe of a local hot spot but unlike some places they embrace the non-resident and regulars with the same cheerful attitude. We went for a build your own pizza and we were not disappointed. We ordered extra mushrooms, baked garlic and roasted peppers. Our pizza arrived with enough mushrooms to make these two mushroom addicts happy. Since we had been running all day we were starved and staved off our near demise with cheesy bread while we waited. Nothing disappointed..

    Nothing fancy here, nice casual place for lunch. If you can sit outside, do. Inside is dark and kinda dingy. I got a Caesar salad, super simple just a paper plate of romaine, shaved parm, croutons and somewhat watered down dressing for $15 which seemed kinda high. Friend got a pizza (meatball?), crust had a nice crunch on it. I'd say 3.5 stars so rounding up

    Delicious! good atmosphere good vibes. Nice staff.

    Good pizza. Nice staff. very welcoming. place was nice busy inside and outside but service was quick.

    This spot always comes up as an option when we're deciding where to go, and it never disappoints. The moment you walk in, it just smells amazing. The layout has its own unique charm, and the service is consistently great. And the pizza? Easily a 10/10 every time.

    Roasted Beet and Carrot salad
    Rebecca B.

    Blue Highway is easily one of my favorite spots to grab a bite in the area. Their menu always offers something exciting, especially with their rotating featured items -- like the Pizza Maria (sliced balsamic-marinated lamb, herb-roasted tomatoes, scampi butter, Fontina, mozzarella, Parmesan rosemary aioli, and parsley) and the Roasted Beet & Carrot Salad (spring mix, roasted beets, roasted carrots, feta, and honey mustard dressing). The lamb on the Pizza Maria is packed with flavor and pairs beautifully with the other ingredients. I'm really hoping this one sticks around, because I'd happily order it again (and again). The Roasted Beet & Carrot Salad was fresh and delicious. I swapped the honey mustard dressing for balsamic vinaigrette, and the combination of the vinaigrette, roasted beets, and feta worked perfectly. No visit to Blue Highway is complete for me without finishing off with one of their cannolis -- the shells are always crisp, and the filling is some of the best I've had. Since I live nearby, I often order ahead and pick up from their convenient pizza window. My food is usually ready right on time, and even if there's a short wait, it's never too long. If you're dining in, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is covered and equipped with fans for comfort, while the cozy indoor space showcases local art, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Parking can get a little tight during peak hours, but much of the lot turnover is from pickup orders, so it usually moves pretty quickly.

    Nice place to visit! The Pepperoni and mushroom Sicillian pizza was off the charts delicious .The crust was perfect with a deep dish thickness that was crispy more than spongy and the ingredients were top shelf fresh and delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant Quirky outdoor restroom was cute

    Finally tried the infamous Satchel's Pizza and I was a little disappointed to be honest. Ever since…read moreI came to Gainesville, the biggest food rec has been Satchel's by far. This is a very popular, iconic eatery in the area and gets busy. The atmosphere and ambiance is quite unique and like nothing I'd ever seen before. A very eclectic scene, the indoor and outdoor area is full of artwork, plants, and even stuff like old planes, buses, etc. There is truly nothing like it elsewhere! They offer both sit down and takeout options. You can opt for takeout and find seating in the takeout area or you can receive dine-in services. I recently dined here during move in--it was EXTREMELY busy and I would recommend going during times where mass amounts of students and their families aren't in town. We ended up putting our names down on the sit-down list and were told to expect up to a 1.5hr wait for the three of us. Although I ended up receiving a text about 50min later that our table was ready. The service was just ok. They were clearly swamped, but I was expecting them to handle this a little better considering they are used to this. We ended up being seated outside and ordered immediately. To start, we got the Satch Salad with ham and for our pizza we ordered the large 18" pie with pepperoni, ricotta, and basil. The Satch salad is highly regarded featuring red and green leaf lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, apples, a hint of finely diced red onion, Romano cheese, freshly diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of almonds, sunflower seeds, and pecan pieces, tossed in a secret house vinaigrette. The small salad, which feeds up to four, was quite large and the perfect size for the three of us. The salad had ample amounts of toppings, but it honestly was just ok. The dressing didn't have a prominent flavor, which was disappointing because so many people rave about it. We received our pizza at least an hour later. The wait was very, very long and honestly too long for what we received. The pie was large, with plenty of pepperoni and ricotta, but it just wasn't very balanced. It was so heavy, with so much sauce you couldn't even pick it up and eat it by the slice (had to use a fork and knife). Now I will say the sauce had great flavor, but there was way too much of it. It was also hard to taste the elements of the pie due to it being served straight from the oven and being extremely hot. The "buttery crust" many people mention wasn't very buttery and was just like average pizza crust. Not to mention, the pizza was burnt on the bottom and clearly overcooked. I was really surprised at how mediocre this pizza was after hearing so many fabulous things about it. Nothing was comped for our long wait either--which wasn't expected because everyone was waiting this long for their food too. Overall, Satchel's didn't blow my mind and fell very flat to me. The atmosphere is certainly memorable and very unique. I appreciated the fun, hippy-like vibe with all the various nick-nacks, but the food wasn't my favorite. The salad was just ok and the infamous dressing didn't have much flavor. The wait for the pizza was insane, especially considering the execution of it. I understand part of my not-so-great experience is due to the time in which we decided to dine here. I would definitely like to return to get a better judgement of the food and service. Not all the pizzas seemed to be the same either--I noticed pies with less toppings (or lighter toppings) had much less sauce, thin, and eatable by the slice. So I am not adverse to coming here again, I'd actually really like to because I don't think my experience was the best representation of what this restaurant is known for!

    I was so excited when I saw this restaurant near the University of Florida. It is a nice restaurant…read morewith plenty of seating and a nice bar area. We we started off with the fried calamari. It was pretty good. Then we had a order of the rolls, which was definitely a 10 out of 10 the roles are dressed with an Italian dressing. This is not a combination that I thought I needed it, but definitely glad I experienced. For our entrées, we had the Marg Pizza and shrimp scampi. The pizza was tasty and had a nice crispy crust. The shrimp scampi pasta was delicious with a nice light sauce and juicy shrimp. We couldn't finish everything, but enjoy the leftovers the next day. Hope to come back again!

    We had a great meal yesterday at Piesano's Stone Fired Pizza on the University of Florida's campus…read more I laughed because there's a Seinfeld episode about George getting George Steinbrenner calzones at Piesano's and I couldn't help but think that the restaurant was named after that. Nonetheless there was a ton of options for: - pizza - different sandwiches - appetizers - salads - soups We ended up getting two different pizzas and some garlic sticks. The pizzas were nice and thin and crispy and full of flavor. The garlic sticks were very, very garlicky, very tasty, very doughy. In general we just had a great meal and we definitely enjoyed it. There were quite a lot of people there too so I'm getting the impression that a lot of other people enjoy Piesano's as well. Very much do recommend this pizza and the garlic sticks. Definitely check it out
