    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

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    This is an unusual location; it's really where DC's extended suburbs start to turn into country…read more The surroundings are green, and there is just this little strip mall that has some breweries and a couple of nondescript doors that don't look like they'd lead to food. One of them, at least, does, in the form of this pizzeria. I ordered online and it was ready about when they said it would be. Notably, they close early on Sundays so I just got in there. They have indoor seating, but I ate a bit at one of the numerous tables for other businesses in this stretch and took the rest to go. Their interpretation of a margherita didn't wow me. As the picture will show, it seemed to be like 30% crust. And the NY style pizza is actually an upcharge from the other varieties. Don't get me wrong, the toppings and crust were overall of high quality, but it wasn't a filling pizza for the price at all, and I didn't have anything to do with all that extra crust except try to fold it over. Wished I'd brought some hummus or something. The pizza I really came for, however, was a Detroit style pizza, of which I ordered as a veggie special. The vegetables were ample but didn't overwhelm, and the crust for this pizza was more substantial. The browned edge of cheese that one comes to this style for was present in spades. It's hard to believe it actually costs less than the NY style, because it was much better. Their other options included some drinks, though I suspect many will patronize the next door brewery for beverages and some bread appetizers and only one salad; nothing that really enchanted me. So, a real mixed evaluation from my perspective. The right pizza order can be quite good, I'll say that.
