    The service was great. I ordered the 16 inch pizza with pepperoni. The pizza was good. We would come back again when in the area. Give it a try for yourself.

    From five star to subpar

    --- **5 Star Pizza - From Stellar to Subpar** Visited 5 Star Pizza twice. My first order was fantastic--pure pizza bliss. But on my second visit, the hype had clearly worn off. Barely any beef on my pizza, and they were stingy with the cheese. Why is it so hard to ensure toppings reach the edges? And for heaven's sake, can someone evenly distribute the ingredients? It's pizza, not rocket science. And oh, did I mention it's also a bit pricey for what you get? Sadly disappointed.

    I ordered a XL half cheese and half chicken and pineapple and lite on sauce hand toss. It was barely sliced I had to tear it apart. Not good on favor and barely brown, some raw dough. Probably the worst pizza I've ever ordered from them. Delivery was excellent so I still gave you a 4* I called them and they are sending me another pizza. Ty

    I'm writing this review while eating this pizza in bed. Yum!!! If you're looking for a quick, tasty pizza option in Gainesville you need to check this place out! They have a $1.99 delivery option but even if you go pick it up, they whip this thing up in 5 minutes. Located right off of I-75 and the staff is so stinking nice! Perfect late night pizza option. Plus they're open until 3am!!

    Everything pizza with over a dozen toppings.

    After having Five Star Pizza at work events and at other peoples' houses, I finally ordered one for myself. I got the large everything pizza, which included practically every topping you could think of: black olives, banana peppers, extra cheese, green peppers, jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, bacon, beef, ham, pepperoni, sausage, pineapple, and tomatoes. This pizza was a masterpiece and with all those toppings it was HEAFTY. There are at least three Five Star locations in Gainesville and it makes sense why you see their delivery vehicles driving all around town. The location off Tower Road was easy to get to and my order was ready for pickup when I arrived. Their prices are more competitive than other local pizza places. I know a lot of people consider Five Star to be the pizza that drunken UF students order late night but I loved it and may have found my new favorite pizza place in Gainesville.

    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 often went to SquareHouse Pizza thinking it would be like when they first opened, but it makes…read moresense after they separated from Satchels it would never be the same. I have come time and time again disappointed with the pizza size and the time it took to make it. Size: Pizza used to come in the size of their box! As you can see in my picture, that is no longer the case. It is no longer an actual square like its namesake but a rectangle. It reminds me of "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares." And while it makes me chuckle to think how SquareHouse should know that. I am still disappointed in paying for that much of a pizza when I could get a larger one to share with friends at the same price point elsewhere. Service: Now I understand they can get busy but one time I waited 25 minutes with only one person ahead of me for my food -- a before anyone says anything. I ordered their waffles. Another time, they never called my name. They have a speaker but don't use it. It is a food park with tables everywhere. If you don't use the speaker system and know folks sit further than you can scream, then I think they should give a beeper. Ambience: It's at the food park which is great as long as it's not raining bc spaces to sit under covered areas are limited. And bc it was previously partnered with Satchels it has the same vibe. Overall, go once if you haven't but just be ready for disappointment Update since writing to address the comments of the business owner: 1) When I say first opened, I meant when it was called SatchSquared. 2) Size of the pizza: You're right I looked at pictures and updated. They aren't squares but from one years ago. They definitely filled the box more. 3) I sincerely don't appreciate being told about waiting or orders ahead and phone calls. I have come here more than 20 times and my experiences are always the same. I've come at opening, during high traffic times, and etc. And I am not someone to review after one instance of a place, I like to give them chances. I have lived in Gainesville for 17 years, and I'm very well aware of being polite to residents. I have definitely sat in the tables in the covered area close to the pick up window and have had to ask if my food was ready bc my name was not called and just to find out it was ready. I gave a suggestion about using beepers like the other places. I'm sorry my review caused some upset feeling but I stand by it. Service is not great. If you wanted to discuss via email then you could've politely said that. I won't be returning. Thanks!

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.

Highly recommend visiting during lunch time since it's not too crowded and still quiet enough to hear one another at a table. The owner stopped by our table before we left and graciously offered to take a photo for us so thank you for that. Always a pleasure to meet the management. Pricing was fair considering the large portions and quality of the food. We had separate checks so our share of the food (including a to go order of Chicken Souvlaki and Kokkinisto!) was about $125 with generous tip. Free parking lot outside the restaurant is shared but there were still many spots to choose from. We'll certainly be back again ^_^ !!
