Pizza is so good! Their individual slices are huge (like the size of a personal pizza!) and we were pleasantly surprised at how much food we got. They have a soda flight that we tried out and it was really tasty! read more

I can finally say after living here for over 20 years, I finally made it to Satchel's. The location just isn't convenient for me so it finally took a special trip. The place is really cool and lived up to all the vibes I had been told about. However, we did sit outside at one of the concrete picnic type tables and my back and butt regretted that later as they are obviously hard and no back rest. Service was good and friendly. The pizza was good, but not amazing. I have heard people rave about Satchel's for years, so I may have had too high expectations. Really good sauce, toppings seemed fresh, but could have used a little more cheese. The crust was good and crisp, however the toppings and sauce could have been spread to the edge more as there was at least 2 inches of crust along the edges. (As evidenced by some of the pictures posted by others.) Overall a decent pizza joint and cool place to visit, but ultimately not convenient for me. read more

Fun eclectic pizza place. We were seated right away. The staff was very friendly. Loved that they offered a gluten-free crust made from millet & flax and vegan cheese. They have over 30 toppings to choose from - lots of vegetables. The dough was thick, fluffy, and soft. Food was served quickly. We had the Satch salad was large enough for 3-4 people. It has cucumbers, apples, tomato, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, walnuts, and house dressing The dough was thick, fluffy, and soft... the best texture. Slices were huge! You definitely have to try this spot if you're in the area. Loved the ginger ale. read more

This is the coolest college restaurant! If you have kids, this is the place to go! They have many play areas and climbing aparattuses! They also have the best pizza I've ever had. Typically, the crust is the worst part, but here it's the best! It's basically a giant garlic bread. Everything was so delicious and this place is so eclectic it will keep your eyes busy for hours! read more

Okay, don't judge, but it took me a year of living in Gainesville to finally stop in at Satchels. I'd been craving great pizza for some time and boy did Satchels not disappoint! Got their lunch special (slice and salad) and added another slice onto that. Oh my, the first bite took me back to my favorite (long closed) pizza place from my childhood in South Florida. The slight sweetness of the tomato sauce, the not thick crust that was nice and crispy in the bottom...serious flashbacks! And the salad was incredible as well! Skipped dessert this time around, but their dessert menu presentation...on an old ViewMaster...hahaha, such a great way to show you their desserts. Service is superb and the ambiance is fun and incredibly unique, with all the stained glass and different lamps at each table and more throughout. Overall, don't skip Satchels on any visit to Gainesville, so much fun character and wonderful food. Parking can be a bit challenging as it is a tight lot, but be patient...you will leave incredibly happy! read more

Had a quick stop at satchels today for a pizza. A very funky restaurant with fun decor, a decommissioned jeep out front that doubles as a dining table, and homemade craft sodas. We got a large pepperoni and ricotta pizza. The crust was crisp and buttery and the pizza itself was fantastic. Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a fun pizza joint. read more

Such a cute gem! The place is a collection of forgotten items and moments from your past, but put together in a beautifully artistic way. Cute lamps at tables. Various designs resined into tables. Incredible art on the walls, I think from local artists. House made cane sugar sodas. Their house salad is delicious! I got the lunch deal which was salad and a slice, best deal I've seen in a long time. Service was good, staff is hard working and friendly. They even sell plants!? I just love what they're doing here and wish I lived closer so I could come back all the time. read more

I actually asked for Satchel's Pizza for my birthday! A few friends took me out and we finally got to sit up near the airplane. You can look up the history of any airplane by searching the call number on the side of it. We did! Even though the plane no longer flies, the info was on the net. It also had installation photos, before they built the deck around it! Pretty cool! read more

I had the best vegan pizza tonight from Satchel's. I ordered the millet and flax pizza with vegan cheese with lot of veggie toppings. The crust was perfect, I heated in my toaster oven which gave some crunch. I also ordered a large satch salad which is super fresh and was enough for at least 4 people. It was super busy being that it was Saturday night but my order was ready at the promised time. Will definitely order again. read more

I went there for lunch and I've been there before this place is consistently one of the best pizza places around it's a little bit strange in the decor I would say more hippies which I really love old school bus outside van in the parking lot converted to a dining area hanging stained glass pictures just a really neat place but the star of this place is truly the food and the employees. I had the lunch special one slice of pizza with a salad for $10 the server's name was Elena and all I can say was she is amazing so pleasant quick didn't miss a Beat totally on top of things they work the wait staff as a team so the other people were always jumping into clear tables or refill or what ever was needed this is a real Jewel and should not be missed. read more

This is my second time visiting Satchel's and it was just as tasty as I remembered. The pizza was delicious, although they could've extended the sauce and cheese a little further to the edge because the crust was about 3 inches. Our waitress was a bit odd. We ordered ricotta cheese on half but apparently she submitted the order with ricotta on the whole pie and was giving us a hard time that she couldn't change it. Meanwhile, it was about 30 seconds afterward so she could've just walked back to the kitchen and told them. She ended up fixing it, but it was off-putting. We were also informed when we were seated that gratuity was included, and that the bill could not be split. This might be helpful info for larger parties. Turns out the gratuity was not included, and I almost stiffed the waitress. I'm glad I asked because I would've felt terrible, as we were a part of 8. read more

Revised opinion to 5/5! Again, satchel's is quirky and unique which is already such a draw but on this visit, the complaints I had last time were completely resolved. I got the meatball instead of the sausage this time and it was delicious. Additionally, the crust was not as rock-like as last time, still able to maintain its structure but crispy instead of crunchy. I'm so glad the crust is edible because the garlic flavor was delicious and I'm glad I didn't have to skip it this time. Also I've gotten to try several different toppings, none of which disappoint. Additionally, got the chance to attend their Wednesday night trivia (2nd and 4th Wed of the month at 7 PM) which is always a fun time. Satchel's truly is a Gainesville gem read more

I've been coming to Satchel's since... honestly, maybe 2014? I tried to dig through my camera roll for some old food pics but all I found were goofy shots in the van and the attached ones here. The food is always a hit -- the pizza is a classic, the Satch salad is a must, and I always rave about their cannolis. What's also cool is that their plates and silverware are all different, which just adds to the charm. There's even a little store with fun goodies and knick-knacks to browse through while you wait or after your meal. Every time I come home, Satchel's is a non-negotiable stop. Can't wait to go back & next time I'm definitely snapping pics of the food too! read more

Great experience at Satchel's! Stopped for lunch while passing through town on a chilly Saturday, and we could smell the warm pizza flavors wafting out as we approached! Good amount of seating both inside and outside- all super electric, including a van you can eat in! We opted for inside which was cozy. We started with the homemade soda flight, for $7 which included 7 different small glasses. Personal family favorites were the gingerale, rootbeer and grape soda- all delicious. Next, ordered custom slices - each slice is about two regular slices. The cheese and veggie options were popular and extremely tasty! One slice (the mama, 4 toppings $7) was perfect for me while others ordered 2 slices. Sauce was delicious but had a little spice kick to it so just a heads up for kids or others who might not expect that. Staff was super friendly and helpful. For dessert options, they offer an old school view finder - we were too stuffed but enjoyed flipping through it - so cute and clever! They are closed sunday and Monday so plan your visit on other days! Absolutely stop by for a delicious experience with a lot of heart! read more

Satchel's is definitely a Gainesville staple pizza spot. The decor is so fun and eclectic! Staff are really friendly and there is a to go section in the back with a bar and toy store. We started with the homemade soda flight. Our favorite soda was the ginger ale, but we also loved the lemonade! I normally hate root beer, but their version was honestly so good. We got the Satchel's salad and I was blown away. They use such high quality ingredients and are very generous with the portion size. I loved the apple slices, toasted almonds and cheese. We got a slice of the pan pizza with spinach, ricotta, and artichoke hearts. Not my favorite pan pizza but definitely a good option. Lastly, we ordered a slice of the cheese pizza to go, and the crust was absolutely phenomenal. We were blown away. The sauce had a spicy cake and a beautiful umami flavor. So glad we gave this spot a try! I see why it's a fan favorite. read more

Where to begin showed up on a Saturday at 1:45pm and the place was packed! 50 minute wait time is what the said! Only waited about 25 minutes! We order the small salad it was amazing, it was enough for a party of four! My dad and his wife ordered the Hawaiian, it looked amazing! My wife ordered pepperoni with garlic and basil, I will add picture of hers! I order basic pepperoni! Let me say this it was worth the wait plus more!!! This pizza jumps into my top 5 ever! Sauce cheese and crisp are amazing! I didn't think it would live up to the hype but it surpassed it! As for the restaurant itself it looks like an artist dream! So much to look at you could go a 100 times and still find something new. Inside the a/c is set low and the lights are perfect for a date or family meal! Will drive from Jacksonville to Gainesville 1hour 15 minute ride to eat there again! 4.62 over all! read more

We were in a hurry after a UF event, stopped in for slices to go. Ordered ahead (bacon slice, mushroom slice). Fast friendly service on phone and at pickup. Bacon slice - lots of freshly cooked bacon; mushroom slice had tons of diced fresh mushrooms. Dough was fluffy, with good chew / pull. Cheese even, tasty. Sauce - excellent with a slight spicy kick. A nice surprise! The outside and inside lots of funky decor. Looking forward to our next visit, when we can dine in. read more

Loved this spot! It truly felt like a local gem, tons of outdoor seating and such a cool, laid-back ambiance. The pizza was some of the best I've had, and one slice was surprisingly filling. Highly recommend the ricotta and hot honey. The only downside was the wait, but honestly it didn't bother us much since the atmosphere was so nice.

They ripped my daughter's slice and brought it out but insisted on making her a new, perfect one.

Unique place, with lots of history. The salad and pizza are unique also as well as delicious. A must stop when in Gainesville.

This is a "not to be missed" place in Gainesville. It's worth a visit even if it's just to see the funky and ever so creative decor. Be sure to tour the full place before you leave, as there are lots of interesting things to see toward the back and the sides. Now for the food - I had a pretty amazing gluten sensitive pizza. It's actually called Millet and Flax Pizza and it tastes so much better than it might sound. The "Tiny" was not so tiny. The menu is very clear that this is "gluten sensitive" and has traces of gluten. So - Celiacs beware. The crust was thin and tasty, the sauce was great, and the cheese was good quality. It's hard to find good gluten sensitive pizza and this one was particularly good. The Satchel Salad was filled with delicious things and the Calzone was generous in size and tasty. It was nice to get an outside table and the service was excellent. I look forward to returning and will save my appetite when I do. read more

Haven't had Satchel's Pizza in awhile. We moved and Satchels in a bit of a drive. Started coming back recently for take-out because I was in the area. The atmosphere is still cool and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We've been enjoying the steak and cheese calzone. It's so simple but so perfectly executed with quality ingredients. It's packed with ribeye and for 17.00 it's two meals and a snack with is a great bargain. I finally tried the deep dish pizza. I was blown away. How can pizza be so heavy and dense yet fluffy and crispy? The crust is such and explosion of crunchy crispy goodness. I've heard people saying Satchels is expensive and it ain't cheap however good quality costs money and I heard Satchel pays his employees a proper wage. read more

This was a fun way to start the weekend! Family was in town for the weekend and we decided to come to Satchel's on Friday night. I loved the vibe and the pizza was good! They serve a pan pizza and NY style pizzas. You can customize the toppings. We ordered a pan pizza for four adults and two NY cheese slices for the kids. The pan pizza was the perfect size and the crust was cooked well! The dough was okay and a bit airy for pizza. The NY pizza was okay. Not the best I had but not the worst I had. For a starter we ordered the satch salad and it was great! It was a big portion and hit the spot! We did not order dessert but it looked yummy! They present you with a view did we to look through the options. The decor is great and eclectic so be sure to take everything in as you look around! We will be back when in Gainesville! That will be pretty soon! read more
