The bread had no taste and was stale. I had the chicken souvlaki and it didn't have a good flavor. My 3 friends and I agreed that the food was not very good. Would not recommend. read more

Didn't know about them till yesterday! Food was good, ambience casual and friendly. Overall a good night with friends. I had Chicken Parmesan and the chicken was delicious. The spaghetti sauce had a kind of cinnamon taste I wasn't expecting. The Greek salad was outstanding! Cool and crisp and a great dressing. I had the beet salad as well because I love beets and heard good things about the dish. It wasn't my favorite thing. My friend had the chicken Marsala and it was great! My hubby was disappointed in his gyros platter - the tzatziki sauce was bland and the meat dry. But overall it was a nice meal. Staff were wonderful. Oh and the flaming cheese is worth getting just for the flaming at the table! read more

Nothing to write home about but maybe I got something that wasn't their specialty. Got the margherita pizza and mozzarella sticks with waffle fries. I was confused because the only thing that tasted fresh were the waffle fries. Might try one of their sandwiches when I come back . Tiramisu had a watery taste and no coffee flavor .. more cream than anything . I couldn't even see the lady fingers. It was a sad excuse for a tiramisu (shameless plug Mia's in orlando has by far the best tiramisu I've ever had). I am not sure how long they've been in business but I hope they step away it up because I know Gainesville doesn't have the best pizza places but I know people would rather try another place if they had the experience I had . Pretty lack luster honestly but willing to give them another try a few months later. read more

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. We have been RVing all over this country and this was without a doubt some of the best food we have had. First I must say we are true foodies... so we are not ok with JUST OK! I had read the reviews for Scoula and knew we had to try it. The lasagna was the best he has ever had.. it was a combination of Italian with a hint of cinnamon which is in a Greek Lasagna called PASTISIO! Absolutely blew him away.. he also enjoyed a red Greek wine. I had the pizza and it was equally as good... our server Savannah was spot on too.. loved her.. not pushy but checking back to be sure all was wonderful.. and it was!! Please please please TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS FABULOUS RESTAURANT. read more

If you are gluten-free...get the pizza or the hickory burger without the bun. DELICIOUS!!! Service was great, the owner was great, and did I mention the fries??!! Mmmmm!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time today. We ordered the chicken souvlaki comes with a salad and one side for 14.95, Keftedes comes with a salad and one side $13.95, kids meal chicken tenders for $5.95. Food was good but still needs some work on presentation, prices slightly high.Looking forward to coming back to try their pizza. Would like to see a lunch menu. I would definitely recommend you try the Baklava Cheesecake. read more

I was excited to finally get an Italian place that was locally owned. My husband and I visited a few weeks after they opened and really enjoyed our meal. The décor in this place is amazing. I love the nod to the philosophers and all the great astrology theme. The floors ad tables re beautiful too. Menu items had a great variety from salads to pizza. i loved that the pizza is coked in a stone oven it gives a better flavor. We got the teak and cheese pizza on this visit and it was delicious. It even had real steak on it. Prices and portion is a great value and taste was mouth watering. My only complaint was service. It was a little slow even though they were not busy. My waiter didn't really pay close attention. I asked for napkins several times before I got them. Plus I asked for a refill 3 times which I never got. Other than service this place is amazing and I look forward to many more visits. read more

I haven't love-loved every meal, but tbf, I'm not a huge fan of Greek cuisine. HOWEVER, best fricken chicken sandwich I've had in Gainesville. Amazing. Chicken sandwiches are important to me. Oh-- and I can't forget the owner. Kindest man ever, great conversationalist. If I was hungry and nearby, I'd eat at Scuolo's just to say hello to him. read more

Wonderful food service & decor is so appealing & interesting. We like the vegan choices. It is a unique & convenient place for our family.

We went to Scoula for lunch one day while on this side of town. I had the Gyro which comes with a few fries on the sandwich and beet salad as my side. Hubs had a 12 inch pizza with sausage and reminded us of V pizza downtown with double zero flour! Very good. The decor is very cute but I don't know that it fits the style of food they serve but that doesn't necessarily matter to us. Lunch was about $35 for 2 meals and 2 drinks but very good! We would definitely go back read more

Scuola Pizza - Gyro and pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I looked at reviews for pizza and Scuola showed up as highly rated so I thought I'd give them a try. I ordered over the phone. The process was simple and the guy on the phone was polite. I appreciated the phone courtesy. It took 25 minutes from order to me walking away with 2 pizzas. Fast! The pizza made the van smell great on the drive home. I ordered the Bianca Bacon and a Scuola pizza. Both were fantastic in taste. I was disappointed with the amount of toppings on the Scuola. I ordered it with 3extra toppings and I could still see the crust from the top. Smell and taste were great, it just needed more substance. The Bianca Bacon was great. I would not have expected anything else from a 4.5 star reviewed pizza place. My daughter said it was one of the best pizzas ever. The restaurant looked clean to me, so that gives me some comfort in knowing that the kitchen is likely clean as well. read more

This was my first visit to Scuola Pizza. I must say I left a bit disappointed with my visit. I saw they had 2 tortellini dishes that I believe were new menu items. One was listed a tomato tortellini and the other was called Pestortellini. I LOVE pesto tortellini so that's what i ordered. When it was brought to my table, I was confused because it wasn't green. I picked up my plate, walked toward the kitchen and asked the waiter to make sure that she put my order in correctly as the pesto one. She confirmed and said it was the pesto. So I sat down and took a few bites. I could not taste any hint of a basil pesto at all. When she asked how everything was, I told her that I didn't taste any pesto and that the menu said there was chicken as well, but that was also not in my dish. She told me the pesto was "mixed up in there", and stated that during lunch they remove the chicken to adjust for lunch price. I didn't see any mention of this lunch special clarification on the menu, but I understood. The dish overall tasted ok, but I most certainly wouldn't have ordered this if I would've known it wasn't basil pesto. I have never seen a tortellini pesto dish that wasn't green :( I also ordered the baklava cheesecake and didn't care for it. If I plan to try this place again, I think I'll try the pizza instead of pasta. read more

My son and I love Scuola's! The food is terrific and the servers are very attentive. For my son, he orders the exact same thing every time we go, but he never has to give them his order. All the servers know what he orders, including his drink, and take very good care of him. I love the aesthetic of the restaurant. They stick with the "school" theme with the posters hanging around the restuarant. The collage on the back wall is a thing of beauty. It may seem a little pricey, but for the amount of food you get it's well worth it. read more

Food quality is okay, can be hit or miss. Their pizza is solid overall, and I like the chicken souvlaki. They have made a couple small mistakes with our order so I would make sure to double-check your order before leaving. read more

Enough for 2 ppl or two meals If you have sides. I wish there were purple onions, oregano, or greens for more Greek flavor. Meat and feta were generous. I would like to try it with tzaiki next time. It's not quite a thin crust. Which is nice. I got it for takeout but the service was still good. read more

Excellent chicken parm served by great service (thanks Vinnie!). Cool decor and super clean restaurant. Can't wait to go back for more

The Gyro Salad is enough for two "normal sized" people or to take home for next days lunch.

Scuola is a great Greek/Italian restaurant tucked in a plaza off of NW 34th Ave in Gainesville! Have been many times & ever meal we have had has been excellent! They also have delicious pizza. The decor is fun & supports the restaurant theme well! We will continue to frequent Scuola & hope they will be around for a long time- 5 stars! read more

WTF. This place will not last much longer. Too bad it's in my neighborhood. We've tried it like four times and all were horrible. We've tried a lot of things on the menu and the only things that were not bland were the Greek classics but they were just ok. Today we got chicken wings (dry and bland), Philly cheesesteak (bad bread and some horrible orange cheese oh and bland) oh and my tastes buds working fine lol, the Kokkinisto was just ok, my son got chicken tenders that were obviously frozen and horrible, the fries were frozen and not seasoned, the pizza is just ok. I just spent $79 on take out lunch there and I'm still hungry wait not hungry hangry. read more

Went there on Friday night. Sat there for about 10-15 minutes and I kid you not, no one came to the table. No wine list, no menu, no water, nothing, nada, zip. So, got up and left and no one at the counter to ask about the bill or anything. This is a ridiculously run place and oh, the maximum age of the people running it is about 12. read more

Great food, nice decor, friendly staff. Sweet potato waffle fries are to die for! Gyro platter was delicious. We will definitely be back

Omg the food was so good and yummy and very filling service was amazing the server was very nice I definitely recommend this place read more

Scuola Pizza - My leftover lasagna and baklava cheesecake it's so good - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Pizza is a go to for sure. Hard yes for pizza. The pasta is terrible. Like really bad. It's wild. The first time I tried the pasta I thought they were training a new cook or something because it was so bland, and it was supposed to be Cajun Alfredo. So I stuck with pizza ever since. But then I decided to give them another shot with pasta. And I was even more disappointed, the sauce in the lasagna quite literally tasted like Chef Boyardee in the worst way. Service was great! Stick to the pizza read more

Where to start! This place is a diamond in the rough! I'm not sure what I expected but this has been one of the greatest dining experiences I've ever had! First let me say my party consisted of 3 adults and 7kids 4 of which are under 4 so I hope that paints a picture for you lol. The waitress Eve was exceptional from the very start! She was so sweet and she was very attentive! She kept up with our crazy/sometimes hectic table and not once dropped her smile or made us feel inconvenient or annoying. To top off the experience was the food! Best Italian food I've had in Gainesville hands down!! If you havent been here you need to try it out! Hopefully you will get lucky and get Eve as your server! But honestly the entire staffed seemed amazing! read more

My server, Zach, provided a great experience for me and my grandmother. He was cordial and quick to help. My biggest issue with Scuola used to be their water, which was worse than the Gainesville tap. I am happy to say that they have considerably improved their water game. Also the pizza was acceptable. read more

We had an amazing experience with Scuola pizza and a catering ordering for our collegiate lacrosse team of 45 people! They helped us 24 hours before our meal and made sure everything would meet the needs of our team. The owner was so kind and made sure we had extra food and paper goods as well. The food was delicious and our team loved it. I highly recommend!! read more
