I can't say much about this place since all I've had is the cheese pizza. I've been here two times and quality is always top notch though. We order for pickup and the pizza is always hot, fresh out of the oven. Frankly, I'm always burning the roof of my mouth because I can't wait any longer. The smell in itself is just so comforting. I'm selective with my pizza and everyone has their presence but I absolutely love their cheese pizza. The sauce is slightly sweet and the crust has a nice bite to it. It's reminiscent of NY and I love that it's just not as sauced up like most pizzas. I also normally don't eat the crust when I get to the end of my pizza I know , I know it's unheard of but here I manage to eat the whole slice . They have certain deals in certain days and my bf asked for their menu so we could take it home for when we crave pizza again. On there we saw that they have deals for pizza and garlic knots, large pizza combo etc. They have an extensive menu with just about anything for anyone. I would love to come back and try their salads and perhaps pastas especially the lasagna was calling my name. We don't have many good pizza joints in Gainesville and I'm glad to have found one worth coming back to. read more

Pepino's Pizza is definitely a must-try if you're in the mood for some tasty, authentic pizza! The crust is perfectly crispy with just the right amount of chewiness, and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful. My personal favorite is their classic Margherita; simple, but made to perfection. The cheese is rich, and the sauce has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. I add basil , garlic & plum tomatoes to it . Only downside was that each topping $2.50 and it went from $15 to $25. I recommend just getting a slice because I have noticed a difference in the quality and prefer just getting one. read more

Busy night after the Florida Football game.. We are out of state had no idea where to go for pizza. This place answered my phone call, was able to have pizza ready in 25 minutes. We went to pick up and staff was friendly and welcoming and though they were busy, chatted with us while we waited ( it is not a sit down place). Great staff and the pizza was amazingly good!! Thin crust heavy toppings.. Delicious!!! read more

You can do no wrong ordering the pizza here. The crust is delicate, flavorful, always perfectly cooked, sauce is a dollop of heaven, cheese is quality. But, I recommend strongly the daring route: calzone! Stuffed to the rafters with wonder, the calzone crust is like a delicious doughy bread. I've taken to ordering a large--which is good for multiple meals. I particularly favor the vegetarian. Last time I ordered one, I ate half the first night, loosening my belt to make room for the glory that is a Peppino's calzone. The next night, I divided the remaining half with my wife for dinner--and was fully satisfied. Order the Peppino's calzone. Every other dish on the planet is simply a watery imitation of food after you have had the calzone. But beware: you may go on an all-calzone diet, which I do not recommend for your health. read more

Staff were super friendly! I was impressed that the bottom of the pizza was nice and crispy, which can be hard to achieve on a meat pizza without burning. The wings seemed a little undercooked or something, too chewy for my liking. Also, the mild was very mild and that says a lot since I don't do heat at all. A solid 3.5 stars and I will definitely give them another try, the menu is huge! read more

Big Lous used to be my favorite place for that NY style pizza. With their closing I searched for a replacement and look no more! Pepino's offers fantastic pizzas with I'd say even better crust and toppings! I wish I had taken pictures of how good the pizza looked but I was too excited to dig in! Needless to say I'll be coming back because I still am aching to try their wings and garlic bread. If it does those right than this might be my favorite pizza place full stop! As of now please support these guys as they are making some seriously delicious pizza. read more

I've tried a couple pizzas here, but didn't think they were anything special. What I really like is the Italian Combo Sub. It's enough for 2 meals, but when they cut it, the two halves are sometimes unequal. Pretty fast service, but so much staff turnover you can't get to know anyone. On a nice day, you can eat outside on picnic tables with your dog. read more

Pepinos is the pizza I've decided is my favorite in Gainesville. I'm not into fancy pizza, like V's or Midici, I just like tasty pizza. The sauce is on the sweeter side, it's not too smoky or herby like other pizza places. I also enjoy their salad and their garlic knots. Do it! Get Peppino's! You won't regret it. read more

Dine in only just FYI. The garlic knots are amazing sometimes we just get those!! The marinara is to die for. So good to dip the knots or pizza in. The antipasto salad is MASSIVE!! Easily feeds 2 for an appetizer and would suffice as a meal on its own. The house made Italian dressing is so good also. Good for salads (obv) and dipping. Definitely will go back (and have many times). The margarita pizza is definitely your best option. If you want it saucy, get a side of marinara. The cheese/regular pizzas are pretty good as well, but I prefer the margarita. Don't waste your time with some of the chains here. Support local and get better food! FYI: the containers for marinara and dressings are huge, so one per salad works out! No need to get extra unless you plan on saving it or eating with the pizza. read more

Their pizza is fantastic! I think it's similar to Piesanos if I had to say a comparison. The garlic knots are good too- a little meatier then Piesanos and the dipping sauce of marinara is excellent! Joe's favorite pizza we tried last night and it was great - had bacon, onions, tomatoes and ricotta cheese. They also have many pasta type entrées. We tried lasagna last month and enjoyed it. The Greek salad had yummy roasted red peppers on it. Sadly no Greek dressing but the toppings were hearty. They have online ordering and even delivery - I like being able to give them a tip instead of another delivery service. read more

What a miserable experience. Pizza took about 2 hours to get here. We live 7 minutes away. The saddest mozzarella sticks I've ever seen. Basically the Walmart 1 dollar frozen stix you get. And it wasn't even fried enough to get melty! Everything was cold when it got here. The antipasta salad was just deli meat all rolled up on it self over some lettuce. I can't believe this place is so highly regarded. Paid 60 bucks for straight garbage. read more

A hidden gem in a small plaza on University Blvd could best describe: Peppino's Pizza & Pasta! Not from Gainesville area, visit Shands quite often Mom wanted Italian pasta, went to Yelp for suggestions seen the stars, hit directions & arrived to a very small walk-in & order food store front, they do have a few beautifully stained picnic tables to enjoy your food and the fall weather right there! Even though just a walk in store front, very friendly, fast home cooked Italian tasty, unbelievable portion size food comes out of there. Our choices were Baked Ziti & Eggplant Parmigiana comes with Garlic Knots and we ate there & still took home well over 2/3 of it, well worth the money also! While sitting there seen a lot of people picking up take out orders & chatted with a few & they raved also on there pizza & food!! Next time will be picking up a pizza to go also!! Search for 3731 W.

After a slight mix up we were seated.Our Server Gavin is the sole reason i gave them a 5 besides the great food We opted for soup and salad versus neverending pasta . Soup is my favorite of the 2. Alsobwe got the Shrimp Misto Frito(i think i got name right),it was an amazing appetizer. Was quite busy , but the music could be heard over the chatter of the patrons. Every now and again you just have to hit up Olive Garden for some Good Ole Soup and Salad and today it hit the spot!!

Olive Garden is a classic enjoyable place to have a meal, they typically go above and beyond with…read moretheir service and I'd say that is enough to make you want to come back. I appreciate their smaller portioned menu options added somewhat recently because I personally think their main portions are very large and always end up with takeaways. My only complaint is the price, I just don't feel the price is equal to the quality of food. I'll still come back from time to time and think lunch is more fairly priced, you can't beat the endless soup and salad pricing, but generally that's why I avoid coming unless invited here.

The Alachua Farmers Market has quickly become one of my favorite Saturday morning stops. It's not…read morehuge, but it's packed with charm, friendly vendors, and some really great food options. I love walking around, checking out the booths, and finding new local treasures. One of my absolute musts now is a matcha drink from Honey Nitro + Cold Brew. I had never tried matcha before, but a friend recommended their version with vanilla or lavender, and oh my gosh, it was creamy, smooth, and totally addictive. I seriously didn't know I could love matcha this much! Pappa Thai's summer rolls are another go-to. They're fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot every single time. Light but filling and perfect for walking around with. And I can't forget Proud Pickles, they're such a fun little stand, and I'm absolutely obsessed with their items. Sweet, tangy, spicy, you name it, they've got it. I'm giving 4 stars only because I wish there were a few more vendors but I understand Gainesville is a small town. But honestly, it's still such a lovely experience and totally worth checking out if you're in the area.

This was my first time at this market and I'm so sad I didn't find it sooner! There were tons of…read morevendors and a nice covered area to walk through. The parking is pretty easy and it seemed like there were plenty of spots, and all of the vendors I interacted with were very kind and friendly. I got a sesame bagel from BagelCorp (forgot to get a pic!) and a cherry chocolate chip scone from Voltaire, and both were pretty yummy and not too expensive. I'll definitely be back!

The covered part of their market. Amazing variety of local produce!

I found this spot on Yelp while craving a true giant NY style pizza, and even though it had minimal…read morereviews, we had to check it out. For reference, I have had NY pizza in NYC, so I am a tough judge First off, we went on a Friday night and downtown was absolutely crazy. Definitely college season energy. They only have a pickup window, so parking can be a challenge. Pro tip, have one person hop out while the other drives around the block. It made things much easier for us. When I walked up, the staff was super friendly. We chatted about how we moved here from Massachusetts almost two years ago but had never ventured this far downtown before. I really enjoyed the vibe of the area. They do accept cards, and I updated the pricing here to reflect current costs. Now for the pizza. We are always on the hunt for those monster size pies, and this 20 inch pizza did not disappoint. The box barely fit in our truck which gave us a good laugh. We got it home and between us and our teenager, the whole thing was gone. The taste was fantastic and honestly reminded me of one of those little spots in Times Square. There was very minimal grease and none of that heavy heartburn sauce we always joke about. Overall, highly recommend. Our whole pizza was ready in about 10 minutes which was impressive. If you are in the area, even grabbing a slice might just hit that perfect comfort food spot.

Italian Gator is a staple for Gainesville students, residents, and visitors. Did you even come to…read moreGainesville if you didn't stop by for a slice?! This hole-in-the-wall spot has retained its usual charm and flavor despite exploding with popularity! If you want a slice for lunch, a slice post club, a slice because you're hungry, a slice because you're bored - Italian gator is always the answer. Their thin, crispy pizza slices have won hearts over so many years and their absolutely delicious pizza flavor has remained the same through it all! They keep their menu simple with a cheese or pepperoni slice, but both are the most incredible slices of pizza I've ever tasted! If you're ever in Gainesville for any reason, plsssss do yourself a favor and stop by for the best slice Florida has to offer! While you're at it, walk through the most beautiful campus you'll ever see

Wednesday evening is the seafood pasta special. I got it and we had a bottle of wine.

We spent more than planned but we hadn't imagined that a little shop would be so loaded with gems to enjoy. If we lived near this place it would be a favorite and regular restaurant.

We've been to New York Pizza Plus quite a bit, and when ordering from the menu, the dinners and…read morefood have always been really good. That's why today's experience was a little disappointing. We decided to try the buffet, and unfortunately, it was pretty picked over. The pizza looked like it had been sitting out for quite a while and was very dry. I think the buffet could definitely use a little more attention and fresh pizza being brought out more frequently. The other issue today was the temperature inside. It was very hot and uncomfortable. If the air conditioning isn't working properly, I feel like customers should be given a heads-up before entering, especially if they're planning to sit down for a meal. We still enjoy this restaurant and have had many good experiences here, so I'm hoping today was just an off day. We'll definitely be back to order from the menu, but we probably won't be doing the buffet again anytime soon.

We ordered several pizzas (1 garlic 16", 1 two-topping 12" with prosciutto + roasted garlic, 1 Hawaiian 12", 1 pita pizza with ham) plus ravioli fritti appetizer and steak pesto. Pizzas were excellent , steak was soft / medium well as I requested, and ravioli was deliciously crunchy - a crowd pleaser. The others had never tried Scuola before and now they'll all be back for the great food , friendly service, as well as chill ambiance of the place. 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 ^_^ !!

I was there last Thursday, and we tried the June appetizer, which was an arancini with risotto and bolognese sauce, I believe.

The ambiance is nice - I like the large open space, and imo, it's inviting with plenty of sunshine and the artwork. The only thing I'd change is maybe add a few more dessert options, but my best friend does love their cannolis!
