I ordered this for delivery and the process online was very complicated. There were lots of unnecessary steps, so I'd recommend just calling to order. The pizza was very hot when it arrived and was loaded with toppings. The garlic rolls were delicious and coated in a garlicky oil, but not too oily. I can't speak to the ambiance as I did not go to the location itself, but the delivery process was easy. This is very good pizza but it is pricey! read more

Just like I ordered it!!! Yummy!! Arrived hot and timely...huge for delivery pizza. Try thin crust well done read more

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza, parmesean garlic rolls, parmesean garlic chicken wing & brownies. The food was steaming hot and delicious! The wait seemed extremely long. I ordered via the internet about ten minutes before I arrived. They were very busy when I arrived. When I advised my order it appeared as if they were just pulling it off a printer and starting the order. I was there another 25 minutes. You don't really have any ambiance. I don't think it matters much because people don't eat their pizza there. But staring at the boxes, the workers and the advertisements is pretty boring, especially if you are waiting 30 minutes. Ordering on line was not as easy as it should have been. Having never eaten your pizza before, I didn't want to provide a lot of personal data. I just wanted to sign in as a guest picking up pizza. It would have been easier and faster to call it in. So this would have been a 5 star review if I had called it in and didn't have to wait upon arrival. read more

I have been ordering and picking them up at this location for years. Every time I walk through their door, no matter how busy they, I am always warmly greeted with a smile. Add to this positive customer experience, a superb product. Consistently, we are 100% satisfied with the preparation, the abundance of toppings, and flavor keep us coming back. read more

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. read more

--- **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. read more

Five Star Pizza - From five star to subpar - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

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 read more

Five Star Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Five Stars Pizza is just Five Star's pizza. It is not the greatest pizza but it's not the worst pizza. It is just a must Pizza in Gainesville Florida. They're really big and if you get them hot, they will be really cheesy. They come extremely fast. And they are open all the way till 3 am. So, after party or if you're working late at night they are available for you. They are flat but steady. They're rather economic. Five stars it's a place like it will either love it or hate it. For what I see most of the locations here are pretty clean. They are a good fast solution and if you give them your number: you get a text with good coupons. If you're a faithful customer they will send you a $10 Christmas gift. I say it is a must just try it. read more

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. read more

Five Star Pizza - All the meats pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The pizza is really good and prices are decent but I tried ordering from the website for the first time only to call when it had been 40+ minutes and I still didn't have my pizza (I live very close but wasn't able to make the drive at the time) and the employee informed me they never got my order. I feel like if the website isn't going to properly send the order then they shouldn't have the option to order online. And now I don't get my food because of a website issue. read more

Five Star Pizza - 24” Pepperoni Piezilla - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

OMG - this pizza was awesome. Delivery was super quick. Fresh Hot Pizza - and friendly delivery!

We ordered pizza tonight from the 75th Street location. When we ordered at 5:25 pm we were told it would be 30-35 minutes for delivery. After an hour my wife called to check on the status of our order. After waiting on hold for over ten minutes an employee comes on the phone. She advised him of the issue and he quickly stated our order is coming out of the oven now. My wife explained to him it was already supposed to be delivered and what was the delay. The employee responded "we are busy." My wife then asked to speak to the manager due to the less than helpful employee......after being placed on hold someone picked up and then hung up on my wife. She called back again and asked to speak to a manager and was placed on hold again. Finally, the manager picked up after what seemed like forever and my wife explained to him the issue and the fact that the pizza now was ordered 70 minutes ago. He responded it is on its way and my wife explained to him that was not the issue. The issue was we were quoted 30-35 minutes and he quickly stated it was 60-90 minutes. My wife informed him this is not what we were quoted. She also stated that he may need to inform his employees of the time it is taking because we would have made a different decision then to order from them had we been provided with accurate information. The manager then got smart with her stating we have different people answering phones and coming in and out of the store. My wife again asked if it is that difficult to provide accurate delivery times? The manager then stated "what do you want me to do about it?" I then got on the phone and I told him I wanted him to do his job and be a leader in the restaurant so customers are aware of their delivery times. I stated it is all about communication but it obvious he was lacking since no one knew it was 60-90 minutes. I told him the least he could do is provide a discount on our order since it has now been 80 minutes and still no pizza. I left the manager with a few choice words due to his lack or care, professionalism and customer service skills and the fact that he refused to accept any responsibility but made sure to blame his employees. I told him he could keep his pizza but it still showed up 95 minutes after we ordered it. Five Star will no longer be an option in this household after numerous years. We have to many other options but we try to support local but this local shop lost out. The owner needs to take a serious look at the leadership of this manager as he is lacking skills in numerous areas that is in turn costing his business money and the loss of customers. read more

When I was a student at UF Five Star Pizza was known as the greasiest pizza in town that you ordered at 2am after a night of drinking/partying. Visiting my old college town I decided to see how they have changed. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza which was ready in just 10 minutes. While their pizza is no longer greasy it was really nothing special. The crust was just average and the pizza was good but not great. read more

Frankly, I used to buy this as discount drunken UF pizza during undergrad ChemE. Since I moved back to town, it's just the best late night option. Super fast, good quality - i.e. always good on my stomach, and consistent. Drivers are on point and order arrives as ordered every time, plus good vibes. 100% recommend, my go to late night pizza place. Occasionally Piezanos on a date night otherwise, but 80% of the time five star. Honestly only reviewed because of some of the obv fake reviews I saw. Give them a shot and let the food/price/value speak for itself. read more

This is the perfect pizza. Yeah, I said it. Part of the reason I love this pizza is the nostalgia I get because a single bite brings me back to college. Five Star Pizza is an institution just as much as the Swamp. Talk to anyone that went to Florida and they will all say they have had Five Star. My wife says that it is pizza only for when you are drunk, but she is wrong. Five Star is fast and an anytime treat. The garlic knots are so good you may have to punch someone in the face. If you have never had this pizza, do yourself a favor and try it. And Go Gators! read more

I ordered Five Star Pizza during an overnight stay in Gainesville. Online ordering was easy, delivery was super quick at the La Quinta. I met the driver in the lobby with no problem. I ordered a pepperoni and it was great. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic pizza, quality pepperoni , chicken or any other topping, delicious crust!! Wonderful staff when you call in an order and you have it in your kitchen within 1/2 hour before you even get plates out!!! Go there or order from them asap!! read more

Great pizza and delicious brownies! My favorite thing about this place is the kind and QUICK service! Literally 15-20 minutes from the time I place my order to the time I receive it at my door. That's pretty incredible! read more

If you could make the worst pizza on the planet, this would be the place. Worst then Little Caesar's if thats possible. John G buys the worst cheapest cheese their is, and is a complete dick. Run run run away frim this place unless you like diarrhea the next day... The delivery drivers are high as a kite all day long.... read more

Their name and slogan pretty much says it all...Five Star and "The Best for Less". In the world of delivery pizza, Five Star is the winner, hands down. I've been ordering from them for years and I've yet to be disappointed. The pizza is great, price is reasonable and the delivery is quick. Their customer service is great. I've ordered all sorts of things-half cheese/half veggie with NO cheese, half all meat/half veggie NO cheese, ect and they never give me a hassle. The person on the phone and the delivery drivers are always very friendly. My home is a decent ways away from this location and they still manage to deliver quickly AND the pizzas are still piping hot! Five Star is a delivery pizza delicacy. Do yourself a favor and order the extra large ...you'll thank me later! read more

Five Star Pizza - Veggie pizza without cheese makes it vegan. - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

In town for work, ordered late night delivery to the hotel. The timing of the delivery was amazing and on time. Being from the northeast, it surprised me how amazing the pizza was! The pizza arrived extremely hot and fresh and perfectly cooked. All three of us took our first bite and all said how amazing this pizza was. We ordered 1 pepperoni and 1 plain large pie and it was all eaten. Definitely suggest this pizza spot. read more

I drive past probably six pizza places to get pizza here. I really love their crust! It is a great blend of what my hubby and I both want. It has great flavor and isn't too thick or too thin. Their toppings always taste fresh, the cheese is bubbly and hot, and they have a great tasting sauce too! What's not to love?!? I highly recommend Five Star Pizza!! read more

If you live in Gainesville and have not made a 2:00AM order for Five Star Pizza, then shame on you. The clubs close at 2:00AM and Five Star Stops delivering at 4:00AM, that gives you plenty of time! The staples are the Pepperoni Powerhouse and the garlic rolls. Sure it is not the best pizza that I have ever had, but it is a must try Gainesville experience. Once you are drunk and your mouth hits this greasy pizza, you will think that you have died and gone to heaven for the time being. Sure the crust is a little gummy, and it's not even cheap. But, even my Mom likes it when she is sober, so it must be good. read more

This place is great. I bought for the crew at Goodyear and they give it thumbs up . The service was great and they explain about the product. Fresh ingredients. Don't worry. I'll try it someday. I'll update when I do. read more

Excellent Pizza and wings. Went late night while visiting friends in Gainesville. Awesome service

Food was stolen because the driver was too lazy to follow delivery instructions. Contacted the store and not only was the manager beyond rude, he refused to either remake the order or refund it. He also stated that the drivers are too lazy to make a phone call, like the delivery instructions stated to prevent our food from being stolen. Avoid at all costs. read more

In town for vacation. Hotel staff recommended Five Star as Gainesville's best local pizza. From the call in order (helpful gentleman) to the delivery service they use, our experience was Excellent. Large half cheese/half bacon cheeseburger on regular crust. Pizza was perfection. Without being asked they even delivered napkins and paper plates! Agree with hotel staff, way better than the big chain pizza! read more

Maybe this place is more than just conveniently named? Is it a huge controversy to award less than 5 stars to a business named Five Star? Is it some sort of subliminal messaging that triggers you to award them a high rating when you go home? Hmmmmmm very tricky 5S... very tricky indeed. Well no matter you're not getting this rating because of your creative Yelp friendly name, you're getting it because I'm convinced that - Five Star pizza saved my life. FACT! Drunk, and on the verge of a disorderly blackout, while wandering the streets of Gainsville, my new local friends pulled me down an alley way, where I thought my antics had potentially earned me a beating. On the contrary, my new belligerent besties saw the early signs of disaster on my face and decided to ply me full of Pizza to stave off the effects of the dozen vodkas I'd consumed. The pizza was CHEAP ($5 for a large) and served a few degrees cooler than the temperature of the sun. Sitting in an alley on a dilapidated milk crate, I'm sure my googly eyes made me a sight as I slurred my speech and pounded slice after slice into my gullet, searing the roof of my mouth until I got that weird raw roof of the mouth hanging skin thing.... you know where you're not sure if a piece of cheese has fused itself to the roof of your mouth OR you've literally induced 3rd degree burns from molten cheese and sauce and the inside of your mouth is peeling faster than a bad sunburn.... ya that feeling. Follow that up with quite possibly the greasiest creation ever - Garlic rolls (like so greasy and delicious that I went through puberty again and almost had a full acne break out instantaneously) and the cool breeze of sobriety hit me in the face like a seagull once clocked Fabio. SUPER SOBER!... and slightly stunned. Following this feed, I avoided making a long distance phone call home into the great white porcelain telephone and kept myself out of cuffs by avoiding doing anything stupid that evening... Ergo... Five Star Pizza saved my life! Eatcrest Out! read more

Visiting from out of town. Decided to try. Surprisingly very good! I give it a 85% of Boston/NY style pizza. They could reach 100 if they used a real pizza oven. But the cheese is good. read more

If you avoid getting pepperoni here, you'll miss out on the majority of the grease. The combo of sausage, peppers and mushrooms is my perennial favorite. I don't eat pizza as a hangover helper--one, I'm rarely drunk and two, my stomach doesn't process grease properly when it's awash in alcohol--but this pizza is perfectly fine when you're sober. Blue Highway, Big Lou's and Satchel's aren't always practical options depending on where you're located and/or the time of day, and unfortunately I'm nowhere near an ILNY Pizza in my new house. Bottom line? It kicks the snot out of every other chain in town (with the possible exception of Gumby's) and delivery, in my experience, is very fast. Overall, a very solid choice. 3.5 stars. read more

375-5600. The only number i have memorized in Gainesville, FL. 24 hour pizza delivery. Need I as more? The pepperoni rolls are the best thing that you shouldn't eat, but man. They are amazing. Chicken bites are ok...better than ok for a 24 hour place. Get them with hot sauce. Make good buffalo tenders. Try the cheezy bread with toppings. It's a great while pizza. I love it with sausage tomatoes and onions. Not very many delivery pizza places better in the US. read more

The best fast food pizza in Gainesville IMO If you are thinking of ordering from Pizza Hut, PaPa Johns or Dominos give Five Star a try. From what I understand they are a Gainesville start-up..very good quality products Unfortunately they don't deliver to our house, but it's so good we actually drive up to them to get it. read more

The delivery is always super fast, great service, but I have to warn you: Five Star is best when consumed while drunk. While sober, you will notice that the pizza is pretty greasy, and doesn't taste nearly as good as I Love NY Pizza or Leonardos. Drunk though? A-ok. read more

Drunk and want pizza? Call Five Star! Not a huge pizza fan, but this was a staple back in the day. The chicken ranch is probably the best thing there. So tasty. Awesome pricing and quick delivery...for the most part. Seems like everyone has worked here at one point. You can't go wrong here. read more

Ok, it's 2:30 AM, and you just got back from the bars (and you couldn't stop at Italian Gator on the way out). Or, it's 3:30 AM and you just got back from a party. Or, it's 11 PM and you just got back from a night game. (note how it's never daytime when the moment calls for 5 star) What should you do? GET FIVE STAR ON THE PHONE!! They make gigantic, cheesy, greasy, affordable pizza that is the perfect way to satisfy those huge late night appetites that roar to life because you've had a few drinks or just because you've been awake for 19 hours and standing for the last 6. The thing I loved the best was ordering, having them tell me "45 minutes," and hearing a knock at the door 10 minutes later. The look on everyone's face and the joy in their hearts when it dawns on them the pizza has come early: priceless. Just don't forget to do the "five star flop" before you eat it... ask around, someone will explain the proper technique to you. read more

I wish most people knew what good pizza was like. Instead, most judge pizza against Dominoes. Pizza cooked in a conveyor oven will never be quality pizza. It doesn't get nearly hot enough. They are used by the big chains for convenience and speed. While better and Dominoes. that's a pretty low bar to pass. read more

Five Star was recommended to me by someone when I first moved out to this area and I am forever grateful to them. For delivery pizza, this place kicks some serious ass. Great crust, great sauce, plenty of cheese and toppings, just the way I like it! Although it was a little greasy, it's to be expected (it's delivery pizza, after all) and wasn't THAT bad. It's also much cheaper than places like Dominos and Pizza Hut and the pizzas are bigger for the most part. It's perfect for those nights when I'm too lazy to actually cook something or leave the house. It's also the perfect place to get cheap food when it's early in the morning and you're completely shitfaced. read more

I was very impressed with my order this evening. Ordered at 4:59 online and the pizzas were at my door at 5:16. Hot out of the oven and really good! Fresh mushrooms. Good flavor on the meats. Sauce had a nice flavor. Really good value for the price! Delivery Driver said he was the fastest in town. I can believe it! Very pleased! read more
