    Large cheese pizza
    Joanna M.

    I don't get why this place only has three stars. They have the best sauce of any of the pizza joints around. We have had several of the pizzas and have never been disappointed! We also love their salads. The con with the house dressing is a favorite and since we usually split one it's nice they have the option to get it chopped. Fresh, fast and friendly every time we pick up. If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out!

    It's the take out box with my fingerprints. I was so good.

    Popped into Paisano's for a quick take out order. Entered into a clean and well run store. Immediately greeted at the counter and offered several suggestions. I chose the Thin Crust Meatlovers and paid. Given a ten minute wait time to build the pizza and pop it into the oven. Service staff checked on us twice for an update. Low and behold it came piping hot and a minute early. Staff made sure we left with extra red peppers. Got home and was full with two wonderful slices of Meatlovers Pizza. I definitely will return when my next pizza attack occurs! Great job team.Thanks again

    808 Phat Gurl Status(Ipo) with their super well-seasoned fries and the owner in the background super friendly.

    Aloha Peepz Ipo here from 808 Phat Gurl Status. If you're in the Gainesville area, Paisanos Pizza at Atlas Walkway is a must-try. I went for the gyro with a small fries, and it was fantastic. The gyro was packed with juicy, flavorful meat, and the portion size was generous--no skimping here. The vegetables and cheese were perfectly balanced and spread throughout the gyro, making every bite satisfying. The small fries were seasoned just right, with a perfect crunch that held up even as I made my way through the gyro. I added some ketchup to the fries and their tzatziki sauce to the gyro, which really elevated the whole meal. At $10.99 for the gyro, which is standard for the area, and around $2-$3 for the fries, it's a great deal for the quality of food. The service was friendly, and the owners really make you feel welcome. The place was clean, and the owners are genuinely nice people. I'd definitely recommend this Paisanos location in Gainesville. For me, it's a solid five stars!

    Could never go wrong with Paisano's, got a classic Stomboli, very good! Staff was very friendly. I will be returning more frequently.

    Steak and Cheese with lite mayo specified in special instructions.

    Sub was soggy. Back only on one half. Minimal lettuce that was slimy and soggy. After years of ordering here, it's safe to say they are great at making pizza. Any other dosh, not so much.

    Pizza was good, a little well done, but it tasted good. The staff were nice and they had the order ready when they said they would.

    Hair baked in

    I'm trying my best not to throw up... hair baked into two of the three pizzas I ordered today. Only one that didn't have hair was the only thin crust pizza we ordered

    I love their steak and cheese best, in the area. Went another place and tried theirs, and Paisanos is waaaay better with lots of meat.

    Chicken parm sandwich was so dry, boneless winds were so dry, pizza cheese was burnt over cooked. Rather just get Lil Cesars than this.

He greeted them like old friends and was genuinely helpful throughout the meal, steering us toward dishes we'd love based on what we were in the mood for. That kind of attentive, personal service is hard to come by. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Mediterranean/Middle Eastern meal with excellent service to match.

Our waitress, Farrah, was fantastic--she was warm, attentive, and had just the right mix of professionalism and friendliness that really stood out. The food came out surprisingly fast, which was impressive given how fresh and hot everything was. We started with the cheesy bacon fries and paired them with the BBQ ranch (that's what I call it), and it was an absolute game-changer--rich, flavorful, and something we'll definitely be ordering again. Every bite tasted like it was made to order, not rushed or thrown together. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. The restaurant had plenty of seating, so it never felt cramped, and everything was spotless and well-kept. What stood out most was the sense of community--many of the staff seemed to know the customers by name, creating a warm, welcoming vibe that made the place feel more like a neighborhood gathering spot than just another restaurant. Between the top-notch service, delicious food, and how quickly everything was served, this place checks all the boxes. We'll absolutely be back to try more of the entrees on the menu.

Stereotypical decor and menu, Grains and Grog stood painfully empty on a Saturday afternoon playing music nostalgic to anyone who graduated high school before 2010. I ordered a Manhattan. Hallway through, looking down at the bottom of the glass, I saw two tiny flies floating at the bottom. As disgusted as one can reasonably be, I asked for another one to be made (why I bothered, I can't say. Maybe it was because I had already drank half). I found another small fly in the second before the server left the table. Another fly in the third as well. We didn't finish our meals for obvious reasons. They brought us the check, discounted the manhattans and 50% the check, though I didn't feel I should have paid anything. After paying the check, they said it was a mistake. They brought us the wrong one and would void the sale. The "correct" check they brought us was the full meal sans the 3 botched manhattans. We won't be going back
