Chicken Parmigiana, Bacon Bianca 12"Greek Salad - Full
Austin R.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The Greek salad was very fresh and the chicken. Parm was so good that I ate it faster than my girlfriend can finish her second slice of pizza (which she said was also delicious) definitely new favorite Italian/Mediterranean spot

My wife and I stopped in for lunch. They have one door for takeout and another for the sit-down part. The decor was nice and clean. The pictures on the walls confused us because they were about reading and math. They also had books to read for the kids. Once we realized Scuola means School in Italian that made sense. Also we were expecting typical Italian options. This is more of a Mediterranean menu with many Greek choices to compliment the Italian choices. We started with a side of meatballs (SHHH! not on the menu). They were very good and would order again. We then got a large Lil Sicily. Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Ricotta Cheese, Oregano and Basil. Loved the crust. A large was too large for two so next time we will get a regular. But looking forward to leftovers. While the name says school its a definite date night location for us in the near future. We look forward to tasting some Greek when we we do.

It had been a while since we ate here, so needed to do an updated review.Their menu has grown immensely since the last time we ate here. It's good to see that the place is getting still a lot of business. Friendly staff check in on us several times making sure we had everything. The music playing gave it that mediterranean feel. Food came out hot, the flaming cheese, which I forgot to take a photo of was good as I remembered it. I decided to try the meatball sub, which was a new item on the menu very tasty.

1- Parking and surroundings, I always look for the parking areas of the place, you do want to know in advance if parking is available and if it feels safe. Located close to the Northwood area, this is North West Gainesville, and parking is available. 2- The ambiance and decoration is very nice, offering a vintage, quiet and relaxed place for dinning. 3- Location- I was attracted to this place by the pizza sign on the outside and living in Gainesville for more than 19 years, and less than 4 miles away, I thought I would give it a try. 4- As soon as I saw the menu, I changed my mind and tried one of the the Mediterranean dishes. The Santorini Chicken, with garlic broccolini. The Santorini Chicken is seasoned and charbroiled, served with a tomatoes and fresh Mozzarella, accompanied by a bed of rice pilaf. Cooked perfectly as the name implies (charbroiled), the broccolini maybe a little bit too soaked in the oil and garlic, but nonetheless I liked it. The rice pilaf was so tasteful, which I enjoyed it very much. I am very satisfied with the taste and quality of the food. I will return. The experience is more than what I was hoping. I'm hoping for more restaurants in Gainesville like this. 5- Service was awesome, the server would check up on us, every now and then. 6- Overall this will be one of my places to visit more often, affordable, quiet, delicious mediterranean dishes, in my make believe ratings from 1 to 10, it an 8.5 for me.

Someone's gyro & raw fries

I've been a customer at Scuola since they opened. They've always been slow for take-out, but always had my order right. Over the last few months, that's been on a decline. Tonight, I ordered the same thing I've ordered for 2+ years, a bacon burger and the chicken pita. I failed to check it at the restaurant, I did do that every time until about a year ago when I just went on blind faith. I got home tonight with my take-out to find a gyro with my burger, so I called the restaurant. I was met with oh, ok, you can come back next time and get what you ordered. I insisted that no, I want a credit for the wrong order, I don't mind paying for the burger I ordered but I can't eat lamb, so this means no dinner for me. Not only that, the onion rings with the burger and the fries with the gyro are raw...it was just raw onion & breading, not enjoyable at all. I don't know what has changed but I sure miss the Scuola I loved. Pic attached of the gyro I can't eat even though I tried. Please step up Scuola!!

We spent a Saturday in Gainesville, FL and for dinner we stopped by Scuola Pizza. "Scuola" is Greek for school or institution. The restaurant has a neat classroom motif. They even have an old middle-school clock with the bars over the face of it. Scuola Pizza offers a menu of signature pizza pies, classic Italian and Greek dishes. For the app, we got the calamari. But these weren't your little frozen squid rings. These were huge squid bracelets. They were tender, crispy, and delicious. Paired with a slightly spicy marinara and it was perfect. For the main, we got the large prosciutto pizza. A beautiful crust topped with sauce, basil, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, and an amount of prosciutto that bordered on illegal. The pie overall, was delicious, but, and I can't believe I'm about to say this, it had too much prosciutto. Prosciutto, in its natural state, is a smooth, slightly salty snack. A staple charcuterie board item. Cooked prosciutto intensifies that saltiness and is still delicious, but in smaller doses. A whole pizza filled with cooked prosciutto? Delicious in some bites, overly salty in others. A lighter touch on the prosciutto would definitely be appreciated. Aaand I said prosciutto waaay too much. The overall meal and restaurant were great and I would definitely visit again and try the Greek side of the menu.

Fantastic pizza, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. The garlic broccolini is to die for! Service is great and the atmosphere is such a neat theme!

a beautiful cheese pull, how can you resist this!?
Simone M.

After reading several reviews, I decided to make a stop here for a nice warm slice. I went in on a Tuesday afternoon, so it was nice and quiet. The host at the front was very warm and welcoming and gave me the rundown and recommendations of Scuola. I wanted something light/non meat option so I opted in for a classic pizza, the margherita. And you can't go wrong with that! The host/waiter was super attentive to my needs and once the pizza arrived, I was in heaven. First off, the 12'' pie is perfect for you and a friend, however since I was by myself, so I decided to be greedy. The pizza came out pipping hot from the oven and the cheese...that was the highlight for me. The cheese with the basil on top was picture perfect - like a stereotypical pizza commercial. The crust was very light and flaky and it didn't make me feel bloated like most pizza places. The sauce tasted very homemade and has the good amount of Italian herbs added in. Let me get back to the cheese because the cheese pull that came from this pizza, expanded for at least a mile long....ok I'm exaggerating but you needed to stand up for this cheese pull it end. I was shocked! From the friendly service to the fresh ingredients - I will definitely be back to revisit this place with a friend or solo to try out more food options!

Greek pizza
Kristan H.

May have been better if we hadn't gotten takeout, so I don't want to put the restaurant down too much. I really prefer to eat in for a full experience. This pizza place came highly recommended, and everyone wanted to swim, so the consensus was takeout. I have lots of pictures, as we had a large group of people eating. We were told that the gyro pizza was fantastic, so we ordered 3. Again, large group. We were also told to order medium instead of large so they would cook better. Our order was very expensive and pretty good. I would probably eat there again. I ordered a medium with ham, onion and fresh mozzarella (a must). I tried the Greek pizza, Greek salad and the gyro meat was delicious. The pasta was definitely al dente, but both the Cajun and regular sauce tasted, well, uneventful. Just not much flavor. I definitely would not order any of their pastas again. My son got the caperese salad with gyro meat and it may have shifted in transport, but was extremely lackluster. I actually thought they forgot to put the salad in because it didn't look like a salad at all. This seems like a bad review, but my food was good, give it a try and eat in. Overall, I would go back and eat at the restaurant, so I give it a thumbs up. I'd want the gyro Greek salad and the pizza I ordered again.

Salmon - Greek style with wild rice, asparagus and a side of garlic broccolini. So delicious!

After seeing bumper stickers everywhere we decided to check out Satchel's. If there was an award…read morefor most fascinating and eclectic restaurant, they would win hands down!!! We showed up on graduation day so our wait was about 45 minutes. With so much to look at we didn't mind. I was so intrigued. I couldn't help but take so many photos. I wanted to explore it all! The place was packed, elbow to elbow. I had so much fun walking around and seeing all the art. I had a blast on the swing. There was so much to see. In one of the bathrooms, the walls were covered with children's games. And you won't have to worry about running out of toilet paper because there were a bunch of holders. We got seated outside. Our server came quick but gave us enough time to order. I ordered a pesto pizza with extra sausage and tomatoes. It took about 30 minutes to get our pizza but we knew it would take longer because of how busy it was. When I got my pizza it was piping hot. Pulled a slice off and it was loaded with sausage. A meat pizza! Impressive!!! It was delicious. The right amount of sauce. The slices were large. I liked it a lot. When we finished eating pizza the server brought the dessert menu. The coolest menu ever: it was a viewfinder!!!!! I had to order dessert just because of the menu. I got the chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. It was a huge piece, moist, and the frosting had the right amount of sweet. It was worth every calorie. I was so excited about my food I forgot to take pictures. Oops! I can't wait to go back. Next time I'll be sure to get photos of my pizza! If you're looking for unique I suggest Satchel's. It should be a landmark for Gainesville.

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.

I often went to SquareHouse Pizza thinking it would be like when they first opened, but it makes…read moresense after they separated from Satchels it would never be the same. I have come time and time again disappointed with the pizza size and the time it took to make it. Size: Pizza used to come in the size of their box! As you can see in my picture, that is no longer the case. It is no longer an actual square like its namesake but a rectangle. It reminds me of "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares." And while it makes me chuckle to think how SquareHouse should know that. I am still disappointed in paying for that much of a pizza when I could get a larger one to share with friends at the same price point elsewhere. Service: Now I understand they can get busy but one time I waited 25 minutes with only one person ahead of me for my food -- a before anyone says anything. I ordered their waffles. Another time, they never called my name. They have a speaker but don't use it. It is a food park with tables everywhere. If you don't use the speaker system and know folks sit further than you can scream, then I think they should give a beeper. Ambience: It's at the food park which is great as long as it's not raining bc spaces to sit under covered areas are limited. And bc it was previously partnered with Satchels it has the same vibe. Overall, go once if you haven't but just be ready for disappointment Update since writing to address the comments of the business owner: 1) When I say first opened, I meant when it was called SatchSquared. 2) Size of the pizza: You're right I looked at pictures and updated. They aren't squares but from one years ago. They definitely filled the box more. 3) I sincerely don't appreciate being told about waiting or orders ahead and phone calls. I have come here more than 20 times and my experiences are always the same. I've come at opening, during high traffic times, and etc. And I am not someone to review after one instance of a place, I like to give them chances. I have lived in Gainesville for 17 years, and I'm very well aware of being polite to residents. I have definitely sat in the tables in the covered area close to the pick up window and have had to ask if my food was ready bc my name was not called and just to find out it was ready. I gave a suggestion about using beepers like the other places. I'm sorry my review caused some upset feeling but I stand by it. Service is not great. If you wanted to discuss via email then you could've politely said that. I won't be returning. Thanks!
