    This pizza and sandwich restaurant located in the Hampton Inn in Gainesville also offers other comfort dishes. There is a large bar at the center of the dining room. 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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Gluten free chicken wing pizza

    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.

    This place was great! We were casually walking by and this place caught our attention. The pizza was delicious and it came out the kitchen quick. I would say that originally we believed that the restaurant was closed due to the dark windows but overall great service and vibes inside!

The fish was tender, perfectly cooked, and complemented beautifully by a delicate lemon butter sauce with capers that added just the right balance of brightness and flavor. The pasta was rich, comforting, and generously portioned, making the dish both satisfying and memorable. Alongside it, I had the opportunity to try the Mama's Lasagna, and it truly lived up to its name. Every layer tasted as though it came straight from a family kitchen rather than a commercial chain restaurant. Rich tomato sauce, melted cheese, and hearty flavors combined to create that unmistakable feeling of homemade comfort food. To finish, I enjoyed a classic Tiramisu paired with a perfectly pulled espresso. What stood out just as much as the food was the overall experience. The wait time was very reasonable, the service was warm and attentive, and our waitress was genuinely welcoming throughout the evening. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and every dish reflected care and attention to detail. In a world increasingly dominated by corporate dining concepts, it is refreshing to find a restaurant that still serves food with authenticity, tradition, and soul. If you are looking for honest Italian comfort food, generous portions, excellent value, and a dining experience that feels personal rather than commercial, this is absolutely a place worth visiting. I will gladly return.

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.

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.
