    Hot Honey and Tomato Square Cheese Pizza
    Nathan M.

    This is a great place in so many ways. The location is fun and a lovely atmosphere. The food is always good, I've had both the pizza and waffles and they can both hit. I recommend the hot honey.

    Motor City Pizza with ricotta
    Jordan C.

    FINALLY returned to this gem in the 4th Ave Food Park! I came here over a year ago and absolutely loved it. I am personally a big fan of Detroit style pizza and thought they did a pretty good job. While they aren't owned or affiliated with Satchel's anymore, the eatery still offers that same unique vibe of Satchel's. Ordering is simple, just order inside and they will call your name out when it is ready over an intercom. Everything is made fresh to order, so be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes for your pizza. It is served directly out of the oven and is very hot and fresh! They offer some specialty pizzas, but they have so many topping options it is super easy to curate your own pizza too. The pizzas are a nice size, about an 8x10 pan size. A good personal pizza size, but could easily be shared too. Along with pizzas, they offer salad, waffles, some desserts, and brews. This go around, I customized my own pie. I went with pepperoni (they use the cup pepperonis!), black olives, mushrooms, and basil. These toppings balanced out perfectly and there were ample amounts of each. The pizza was covered in toppings, with a nice sauce to cheese ratio. I love the cup pepperonis and find they hold a lot more flavor, bringing more to the pizza overall. The saltiness of the olives and the fresh mushrooms accompanied the pizza perfectly. The edges were nice and crisp, the sauce flavorful, and the cheese was divine. It wasn't soggy by any means either, which I GREATLY appreciate. This pizza was phenomenal, while it wasn't the most authentic Detroit style, it was certainly close enough! I also got a salad, which was underwhelming to say the least. It was supposed to come with "homemade croutons", but lacked them completely. Definitely not worth the $8.50...wouldn't recommend the salad. While the pizza is a little more expensive, especially considering they only offer takeout, the quality is present. And I do think the serving size is bigger, so I say it's worth it! Overall, I was super pleased with my experience and was more than happy I finally returned. The pizza was just as good as I remembered. Everything is made fresh to order and the service is great as well. I would for sure check this place out, especially if you are in the mood for some good pizza! Can't wait to return and try more.

    Gf pizza- really large
    Lesli S.

    Sorry- just didn't love it like all the other reviewers. Easy to find. Didn't have any trouble parking. Guy inside was pleasant. Place is quirky, which we like. Really appreciated that the guy washed his hands after using the register b4 making pizzas. This is 1 of the only places I can say where I've seen sanitary practices truly used so thank u! Ordered the gf pizzas, which we truly appreciated them offering, & salad. It's a Detroit style but even a little puffier. Unfortunately we just didn't enjoy the pizza. It's pricy but u get a lot of pizza. Could definitely share. It's not ur typical wimpy sized gf pizza. However, it's mostly like eating a loaf of bread w/a touch of topping/cheese/red sauce. It got old really quickly. Picnic tables r outside- wasn't too hot when we were there but tons of flies so not comfortable. Salad was ok- meh. Wouldn't return.

    BEST hot honey pizza ever!!!!
    Deannah R.

    This is one of best places in Gainesville. Definitely in my top 10. This little pizza shack is a Detroit style pizza place with a twist because they sell waffles too. We always order the pepperoni with Hot honey. If you haven't tried this combo yet then you are definitely missing out. The pizza is always so fresh and they are all made to order. The size is definitely personal pan but you can get a couple different combos and share with friends. This place is located in a Food park and they have plenty outside seating. The place is also decorated in lots of artsy recycled items, that just adds to the charm. Check this place out you won't regret it!

    Motor City: double pepperoni and hot honey
    Matt P.

    This is (as the kids say) low-key one of the best pizza places in Gainesville. I like it so much more than the original Satchel's, which I feel is highly overrated. Located in the 4th Ave Food Park, Square House Pizza offers waffles, salads, breakfast pizzas, sodas, beers, and of course, the square pizza. You can build your own, with each topping being $1.25 or order with one of their specialty squares. I went with the Motor City, which was double pepperoni and hot honey. Now when they say double pepperoni, they mean it: the meat was stacked up and the sweet and spicy honey layered over the savory pepperoni was a match made in heaven. While the square size does seem a bit small for the $16 price, these pies are thick and more than filling for one person. They have seating just outside their side door, otherwise there is seating all around the 4th Ave Food Park area. The only shame of all of this? I only got a chance to try out Square House once before I moved away from Gainesville. Best believe it's on my list of places to return to on my next visit.

    I tried one of the monthly special pies at SquareHouse and it was amazing! This is a super great place to get fun flavor combinations on a pizza! Sitting outside at 4th Ave is also always a great time!

    This was such a cool chill spot!! If you want to grab a pizza and have a relaxing time with friends, this is a perfect place. It has alot of tables outside and I like how it is connected to other restaurants. The pizza was yummy. I had the buffalo chicken pizza and it was very flavorful and a good portion size for the price. The walls were nice decorated with cool decor and there is a fun shop to get collector items as you are purchasing your pizza. Fun place to check out in Gainsville!

    Motor City pizza
    Alyssa M.

    While I typically prefer thinner New York style pizza, this pizza is also delicious! When I came here a long time ago I wasn't much of a fan, but this time it was so much better! I got the Motor City pizza, which I highly recommend (double pepperoni and hot honey). The crust and cheese were excellent and the flavors were all really good. The service is pretty good and the ambiance of the food park is really nice. There's plenty of outdoor seating and the inside where you order is super cute as well. The pizza is huge, I split it with a friend and half was plenty, so you get a good portion for the price!

    Breakfast pizza with red sauce and tomato
    Shelby C.

    This place is a gem! The location itself is a blast--right next to outdoor seating and live music. Parking can be a small hassle, especially on a busy Saturday morning, but we found a spot after circling a few times. The breakfast pizza is yummy! Next time, I'd get the syrup topping instead of the red sauce. Regardless, it was still pretty good, and comes with egg + one free topping. Would highly recommend the pizza if you like thicker crust.

    Big Bradford Pizza
    Evelyn M.

    Love this pizza. My favorite is the buffalo chicken but I tried the Big Bradford this time and it was so tasty! Love getting to try their other pizzas because they never disappoint. Ir sometimes takes a little bit longer because they are making the pizzas fresh but it's totally worth it. I also love getting to eat it at 4th Ave. SquareHouse itself is a cool quirky place, and the outside at 4th Ave is so lovely and fun.

    Sausage and mushroom to go!!! Yummm!!
    Erich C.

    So, I found a great lil pizza place as I also found shelter from the coming summer rain storm. I was greeted by a friendly "Welcome in!" by one of the cooks....no pressure, no corporate questions, just a nice greeting. There are trinkets and buttons and all kinds of stuff to buy, besides pizza, but I was drawn to the full rack of t-shirts. Some were funny, and some weren't for me, but I was here for the nourishment that fills the room with amazing Italian aroma! I walked straight to the counter and looked at the choices available, (easy peasy) and I chose basil, sausage and mushroom! Yummm!!! He told be it would be about 15 minutes, so I went out on the covered porch to enjoy the rain and try to avoid listening to the three coeds, two tables over, who were talking about their dream jobs! Before I knew it, my name was called and I went to the sliding window to grab my food. Another friendly encounter, and a "thank you" from the same worker who greeted me at the door! The pizza was amazing!! The texture all around the sides of the whole pizza was crisp and delicious. The red sauce was tangy, and the basil and sausage just made it even better. The cheese, the crust, the sauce and the different textures (I didn't forget the mushroom factor), made it so eat to enjoy! I could hardly take a picture of it, before I devoured it. I ate three of the four pieces of my personal pizza, and rested for ten minutes, before I ate the fourth! Such a great way to eat pizza! As one of the t-shirt said "Square Pizza Rules!"... or something like that.... I

    Outdoor seating
    Samantha M.

    This was my first time trying a Detroit style deep dish pizza, and it's safe to say I wasn't disappointed! I'm not really a big fan of pizza overall but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza at Satch Squared. I was told by my friends that live up there that this location is also owned by a locally loved pizza place. The pizza had a good flavor and a bit of a spice to it. The crispy crust was my favorite part and the top part of the pizza was pillowy soft. We got one personal pizza that fed two adults and was the perfect amount. My favorite part about my experience was the ambiance of the place. It had a little Indy vibe and filled with cool Knick knacks that I loved. I ended up buying an oven mitt. I could go in just to browse the trinkets alone! I also really enjoyed the outdoor seating and how a sink was available to wash our hands outside. We sat inside a bus turned into a picnic area which was really neat. Unfortunately the mosquitoes followed us in there but it's Florida so you can't really expect otherwise. I would definitely return to this location.

    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!

Free parking lot outside the restaurant is shared but there were still many spots to choose from. We'll certainly be back again ^_^ !!
