We had a large pizza $17 with olives and mushrooms and a large Caesar salad $11 with a side of anchovies $2.50. Everything was good. Our server was very friendly and efficient. read more

Busy local spot with delicious pizza. The salad was kind of meh, but the pizza was great. Nice crispy crust, fresh basil, YUM! Comfy booths, and not too noisy, even though it was busy. Our waiter was nice but didn't stop by very often so we didn't get any refills. We would visit again. read more

We had a question about our food and the server and the general manager were incredible -- made sure we were happy. The pizza was delicious! We'll be back. read more

I guess coming in around 4:30 gets you great service! I have been mesning to try their pizza, and today, it happened. I was greeted warmly and offered a menu. The guys by thr pizza ovens perked up, as I lnow they are doing prep work for dinner. My zabwould be freh and hot, and no waiting! I got the Delle Donne pizza, which means "from the women" in Italian. Chicken with pesto and ricotta sound deelish! It was! It doesn't seem like a lot of ricotta, when you first get it, but it is plenty!!! You almost have to found NY style to keep thr fluffs of cheesy goodness from falling off your slice! The sweet tea was good, not too much to slosh around in my stomach, just the right amount! I heard this place has good wings too, and drinks! read more

We came on a Friday night and were seated right away with quick service. The ambiance is very nice and feels almost fancy. We didn't check out the bar, but it appeared to be nice in that area as well! The pizza was the perfect size for two of us to split without feeling overly stuffed, and I really enjoyed the texture of the crust. It's thin and crispy but the edges have a nice softness to them inside. The toppings were all really good as well and they have many fun options! read more

V Pizza + Sidecar - Delle Donne - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

We tried this place for the first time and it was okay. Getting seated on a Friday night the wait was not too long. Once we sat down it's where things went downhill our server took 20 mins just to finally appear and take our order. The pizza was good but we weren't even given napkins, silverware or even a plate to put the pizza on. Next time the server came was when we needed the bill. When I went to the bathroom two of the server were in the same stall just wasting away time while customers were waiting on them. Probably my only time coming here. read more

What a fun place in downtown Gainesville! It was fun and bustling, but it's a Saturday night on a holiday weekend in a college town, to be expected. I went late, after 9 pm A lady who seems like one of the managers was sweeping at the entrance. As soon as I crossed the threshold, she approached, asked the number of my party and whether I was there to dine-in or takeout. When learning the former, she smoothly transferred me to the very capable Kaitlyn who brought me to a table in front of the kitchen and the screens showcasing the 2 different college basketball games And that's when I met Morgan, my server. That girl *hustles*! She took care of all 5 tables on my side of the restaurant, terrific attention - and memory. It was fascinating to watch; I tried to learn from her ability to multitask. No signs of ADHD here! I really liked that she gave thought to all questions when asked for recommendations, and she pivoted so quickly, just came back with a variety of containers, and remembered to add additional plastic utensils, a bag, a bottle of water when it became clear we'd have to take all the leftovers back to the hotel. As for the food: I liked it. One of the bad things abt going later in the evening is you run the risk of running out of things, and there were a lot of things I'd wanted to try: the sweet tea (blame the party of 45 ppl), the Italian wedding soup, and the bombolini (darn!) But we got the harvest salad, a custom ramped-up vegetarians (with add-ons like dbl mushrooms, black olives, bufala, and anchovies , and a terrific tiramisu. We were happy. Oh, and Morgan made a terrific Coke Zero with grenadine! read more

Just be careful. I know it's just a pizza joint and we have some humidity in Florida. With that said my wife and I sat down and ordered. We were waiting for the food and the Parmesan cheese container had a funny look to the holes. I unscrewed the cap and it was solid rust inside the container. Impossible for them not to see this 100 plus times. If there is no tender love and care, there is no setting there. So we left read more

Their pizza is yummy but we didn't come for the pizza, we came for the drinks lol Holiday drinks that is! I got the peppermint expresso martini as my first one to go with the holiday theme and my 2nd one was a the traditional expresso martini, I would say the peppermint one was prettier but the regular expresso I liked better. They have a huge bar and it was FULL because everyone wanted to be at the bar! We had a great time here! It was lots of fun, definitely want to come back and enjoy it while eating pizza! read more

Pizza has a soft, almost soggy crust. Also, in general, everything for very overpriced for what you get. Service was also incredibly slow.

My family and I came here with my new roommate and her family after a long day of move in. We were all looking forward to a nice pizza dinner in downtown Gainesville. V Pizza makes Napoletana styled pizza a brick oven. They also have a variety of appetizers, salads, and other Italian fare. To start, the service was very slow,especially considering the fact that they weren't that busy. Our waiter had a hard time refilling our waters and communicating with us. The food took way too long to come out and we barely even saw our server. I will say the interior of the restaurant is fun and it had a decent, upbeat vibe about it. I will also not that parking may be tricky. To start, we ordered the Meatball San Marzano appetizer and the Napoletana Salad. This took about 30 minutes to arrive. The dish included 3 large 100% all natural meatballs, V San Marzano tomato sauce garlic, basil, grape tomato, and pecorino Romano. The meatballs were decent, but didn't blow us away. They were pretty standard, although the sauce had good flavor. The salad included Spring mix, grape tomato, cucumber, marinated artichoke, Fire Braised Chicken Breast, pepperoni, Shaved Italian Blend (Romano, Asiago, & Parmesan), and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This was fairly lack luster, it tasted like it was missing something and really missed the make because of that. We ordered our pizzas with our appetizers and had to wait an additional 20-30 minutes after our appetizers came out before our pizza arrived. We ordered three pizzas including the Paleo pizza, Carnivora pizza, and Flyin' Hawaiian pizza. The Carnivora pizza included San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, pancetta, soppressata, sausage, red onion, fresh garlic and basil. It was a little soggy and too heavy due to all the meats. Our favorite was the Flyin' Hawaiian which included Mozzarella, sliced gouda, honey pancetta, roasted pineapple with nutmeg and brown sugar, red onion, fresh basil. This pizza had so much flavor between the cheese, smokiness of the meat, and sweetness of both the honey and pineapples. Lastly the Paleo pizza, which had San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, bufala mozzarella, fresh mushroom, Prosciutto di Parma. The pizza didn't arrive for an additional 20 minutes after the others ones came out because they dropped the original one. We were notified about this shortly before the very, very late pizza arrived. They did not even offer to discount or take off the pizza for their mistake either. Not to mention the pizza came out a little too charred, some of the crust was uneditable. This pizza wasn't too special either, very basic. The pizza was fine. The portion sizes were on the smaller side. One pizza could easily be a serving, but the appetizers and salads were barely big enough for two. Overall, I am hesitant to say I'll be returning, which makes me disappointed. I wanted to love this place so much, especially after reading the menu. I love good Napoletana styles pizza, but this missed the mark. But the service was a disaster, the starters were weak, and the pizza wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It may have been an off night, but what really killed it was the slow service and lack of communication. For the price of this dinner, I might have to pass. read more

Absolutely excellent pizza, salads, service!! The service was top tier and the various pizza option came out in great time, piping hot and absolutely delicious. Party of 9 handled seamlessly by the server. She was great! read more

Ok pizza, acceptable wings and awful burgers. All overpriced tho. Also, highly doubtful about the desserts being made on site. Maybe cutting slices of a processed Ricotta cake or Tiramisu is now called baking! I tried their weekly special yesterday for the first time and now I understand why locals don't go there! read more

Decided to check this place out after hearing so many recommendations about this place- here is my honest summary: Pizza: 3/5, was ordinary and was not too impressed to be honest. Don't think I would get it again Salad 4.5/5: fresh salad that tasted like it was made fresh! Recommend Wing 4.5/5: just the right amount of sweet and flavor. Wings were very tender. Recommend. Server Mitchell was very attentive and friendly. Overall, a good place to eat/drink beer casually! read more

Nice private room and they were prepared for us right away. They set up for the reservation in advance which was super nice. The food was great but I still prefer other pizzas in the area. Theirs is a bit chewy to me. They also didn't put a single piece of meat on their Hawaiian pizza which was disappointing. However their wings are great with the caramelized onions. Our server James was high as a kite. He was a bit slow and definitely a bit toooo relaxed. He also forgot to put some orders in (too much weed can do that to ya). I recommend that next time he just take the night off to relax in the comfort of his own home. read more

Food was great, has an amazing experience, calzones are FULL of cheese and flavor, pizza is thin with a crunchy crust soo good. Best service in town, everyone is so nice and they check on you regularly. Chill Hawaiian vibe music and it's pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. We got to watch the games here too. read more

Food: It's decent pizza. The dough is nicely cooked, the cheese is melted well and the sauce is okay. The sauce comes on top of the cheese. At least that's how ours came out. We didn't ask for it that way or anything but that's how we got it. It is a bit chewy. The flop is also inconsistent. Some slices flop hard while others have no flop at all. The sauce was on the watery side and made the pizza very soggy rather than crispy. The price is a bit steep. For a 13inch pie. I don't think I'd make a trip out here. It's not horrible pizza or anything but didn't really enjoy it too much. Service/ ambiance: The waiters were great! Super friendly and accommodating. The only down side was the wait times for food. We were told they only have 1 person in the kitchen. Not really their fault but wish it didn't take as long. The ambiance was also really nice as you can see the pizza ovens and the kitchen. Overall, decent spot read more

First time here.... Atmosphere was very welcoming & the staff was very friendly. We ordered the Carnivore Pizza, traded out the spicey Italian salami for their meatballs. Over the top delicious but.... Disappointed .. . It was not hot when it arrived. It sat tooooo long in the window, waiting for a server to deliver it. We did ask the Bartender to see if they could warm it up a bit. The kitchen told her no, they could not put it back in the oven. We thought, even the heating lamps would help. But no luck. Pricing was reasonable, we thought. Yes, we would go back but, order something else. read more

I did not know there was a V Pizza location in Gainesville! I'd been to the location in Jacksonville several times so this was a welcome surprise. I stopped by for dinner. I always get an order of the Calabrian wings. They are so good. I love the spicy flavor and the fact they are baked wings. I also got a large pizza with pepperoni, spicy sopresata, and wings. Both were very good and I'll be back again. read more

This has to be the best pizza in Gainesville! I found this place by accident driving around the downtown area. It is attached to the Hampton Inn but has a separate entrance from the street as well. Perfectly crisp crust cooked in a 900 degree wood burning oven, probably should be enjoyed on site but I'm sure it reheats fine. Service was fast and professional, bonus is that a swanky bar is in the same building with the friendliest bartender that makes fancy tasty cocktails while you wait. I will be going here regularly for sure. read more

I remember when ANY pizza was good enough to pass for great. Back when good grades and good behavior could land you a slice of cheesy goodness, I didn't know what "great pizza" was. Well, it's so wonderful to know that Gainesville has some amazing pizza and V Pizza is definitely in my top 5! In a great location right in the heart of downtown, V Pizza is hard to miss and totally worth a visit. With wood fired pizzas, wings, calzones and more - there's really an option for anyone. My faves? Their delicious, spicy Calabrian wings and their Pizza Napoli, topped with eggplant, roasted red peppers, goat cheese, basil and omg, joy. I'm a meat eater so to choose a pizza option with no meat? You better believe it's fire. I love the wood fired element to it all! If you can appreciate a good stiff drink, V Pizza also has a great bar called SideCar with killer drinks to pair with your pizza! So no need to wait for that classroom pizza party any longer, TREAT YO SELF! (No good grades or behavior needed because we're grown now!) read more

I always love coming to this spot. The pizza is delicious and the drinks keep me coming back. Bella was such a great part of our experience.

We had Bella T as a server and she was awesome!! She was attentive and super cool. 10/10 would come back

Same review I just put in for sidecar, because the restaurants are connected. Basically, we were on waitlist and waited for a table for 30 minutes. I finally got someone to acknowledge me again after waiting that long and seeing tables open, we were told that the kitchen had closed. This was 20 minutes before closing time. I can understand if Kitchen is overwhelmed, but as a customer, I shouldn't have to track someone down to find out why we're not being addressed or seated. Poor business practices and very frustrating. If they had just been upfront or let us know what was going on, I wouldn't have been so aggravated. read more

We put our name on the list for a table. They had our phone number. Then we sat at the bar waiting for our table. As the restaurant was clearing out we expected to have our table soon. When we finally checked with the host they were no longer seating people. We had been sitting there waiting for over an hour! We won't be returning. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time here. read more

First of all we went somewhere else but they were closed due to a Christmas party lol. We yelped and googled our way there and arrived. It was a super cute restaurant with cool looking ovens. However they said they were closing soon so we could order to go only. However!... My party of 4 was surprisingly seated instead and informed it was no problem. Which was nice! Waitress was friendly and we had all we needed. Ordered a delicious ( by all 4 hands) pizza, and the Mac n cheese appetizer. Both very yummy and hot. Thank you for being accommodating it was much appreciated, and dinner and service was great for a first time visit! We will be back! read more

Highly recommended for authentic pizza crust! Hot Italian food, thin and crisp fresh Pizza, and craft cocktail; can't beat that! - My local pizza pick! Great place for date night in downtown Gainesville, too. After trying probably all pizzas in this town, the pizza crust here is perfect! Impressed with the consistency of the good fresh artisan Italian food here. This visit however, couldn't just get pizza, I love the V Stromboli. Stromboli melts in your mouth with the drizzled olive oil, melted parmesan, and fresh basil, YUM! Partner had the Pizza Vegetariana and thought it was really good. The Ovens do give the crust some authentic flavor... or is it their ingredients? Whatever it is, keep it up! - I have also been here just for the bar, and the cocktails are Superb - I love "The Bees Knees" read more

I came to the Gainesville V Pizza on a Friday night with some work friends and the place was packed. Luckily we had a reserved table. The service was a little slow but it was understandable given the circumstances. I ordered the Salsiccia pizza, which had San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella and provolone cheese, spicy Italian sausage, roasted red bell peppers, onions, and a slight drizzle of Calabrian pepper oil. The pizza tasted good but for the price it was pretty small and overall not worth it. There is an attached "urban beer garden" (per their website) called Sidecar, accessible from within V Pizza. This is a popular place so keep in mind when you go if you want to get a table and keep in mind what you order for the sake of your wallet. read more
