I finally tried the infamous V Pizza after constantly hearing rumors about its greatness and it went wonderfully! While I only got the pizza to go, I was amazed at how fresh the ingredients held and how well the product lasted until we ate it! We decided to get the Mac and Cheese Attack for our night at home and it was wonderfully cheesy without being overbearingly greasy and the texture held well enough to eat the slices without the contents falling off! I can't wait to try the rest of the options! read more

Wowwwieeee!!! When I hear the words "best wings ever" then it's an absolute must try! Quite frankly, I'm not a fan of wings (plus I'm gluten free) but when I hear those words, it's always a challenge to put them to the test. So V pizza we went!! One night, two night, three night, four, after that, we only went more!! Our experience has been tremendous! The wings are an absolute must, because they ARE the best! Flavors on point! Crispy delight! That's not enough.... Get yourself a caprese salad, great palate cleaner and pepper heat modifier. Still wanting more?! Or maybe you got a pizza and you're at max capacity.... I get it. But please, get me.... Do not leave without getting the flourless brownie! Imagine, a brownie and marshmello made sweet love.... THAT'S WHAT THEY SERVE!!! It's an absolute MUST!!! Truthfully, the best part of our experience, aside from the tasty, is the brilliant service. Ashley is the best thing to ever happen to V pizza. And if she doesn't tickle your fancy, ask for the manager John!! Both with go wayyy out of their way to make you absolutely, positively, happy!!!! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to come back for more!! read more

Our 14yo ordered the Mac Attack pizza, and ate all but one piece! Delicious and different!

I have been a fan of V Pizza for quite some time. My friends and I have been here over the past few years and have always wanted to come back. When my roommate and I came today, we were told we would be sat in 15 minutes. We sat the bar to wait and were sat 30 minutes later. Our server "reiterated" that there was a wait on the food, but we were unsure what she was talking about. Our server continued to make comments during our dining service that ended up being confusing and/ or not true. We then ordered an appetizer. The bruschetta came out with bread that was severely undercooked. We felt like we were eating raw dough. We then waited about 40 minutes to order our pizzas. We were told that the cauliflower crust would be a "personal size." When they came out, they were big enough for us to split just one. The really unfortunate part though, was that the crust was burnt, similar to the color of the coal you would receive from Santa Clause when you have not behaved as you should have. We did not complain at the restaurant because we knew they were backed up (?) , but we were surprised that a place this popular would give us our pizzas at this state given how unsavory the crust looked. I am reluctant to post this due to my great past experiences at this establishment, however I needed to express my opinions of this subpar experience. I don't want people to be turned off by this establishment, rather the place itself become aware of this unfortunate encounter. In addition, tables near us had sour looks of their faces throughout the night, and even checked our table to see if we had received our food, since they had been waiting, as well. read more

Our experience at Vendetti's was great! The Food is excellent and their service amazing! Our server Charlie was very positive, taking time to answer all questions and checking in to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I tried V pizza one night and I was impressed how great the pizzas were. We had ordered the Pizza Quattro Formaggi and I thought it was amazing. I am a sucker for any types of pizza wit ricotta cheese and I loved how much ricotta they had on the pizza. We had also ordered the Pizza Mac Attack and there was so much flavors it was amazing. I would recommend this place to try out if you are going to downtown Gainesville read more

Had lunch here on Thursday afternoon. The place was fairly empty, but we still sat outside. Our pizza was delicious, served promptly even outside. If COVID and the blasting cold air conditioning weren't an issue, I would have like to sit and admire the interior of this place. The bar area is really beautiful. They offer a long list of craft cocktails, this would be a great place for a happy hour outing. I'd come back for happy hour again some time. read more

I'm giving V's five starts for their Calabrian chicken wings. These are hands down the best chicken wings I've ever had. The pizza is good but the chicken wings are a must try! read more

V Pizza has stole my heart and easily become one of my favorite spots to eat. The energy here is amazing and the staff and management are fantastic! Their wood oven roasted wings are the BEST that I've ever had and are the main reason my boyfriend and I keep going back. The food is prepared in a 1000 degree brick oven which means we never have to wait long for our food to be served. Seems like everything cooks in minutes. We've also tried the Mac and cheese, meatballs, and cannoli... each nothing short of amazing! If we had one request it would be to add the Exec Chefs buffalo wing special to the permanent menu. It's a happy medium between the wood oven and spicy Calabrian. Other than that we're in love! read more

V Pizza + Sidecar - Flyin Hawaiian Pizza and Delle Donne Pizza (got them gluten free) - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Excellent drinks and their wings and pizza are incredible! The service is amazing! We go a lot too!

The ambience is very relaxing. At night the lights are dimmed just enough. Everything on the inside and outside has a new high end appeal. The hostess and server were very friendly and nice. The server answered all questions easily. The questions he did not have an answer to the manager answered personally. The food is freshly made with little turn over time. They do have free WiFi. They do have military discount. They do not use local suppliers because they import authentic Italian supplies for the theme of authentic Italian tasting foods. read more

I'm a regular at the location in Neptune Beach. No location is designed the same and this one has more of a bar feel to it. They did allow dogs which you would think the beach location would do. I was very happy to see a puppy enjoying a meal outside with their family. The Mac and cheese is just a side dish, but it was the stand out feature for me. Who wouldn't love Gouda and white cheese smothered in delicious noodles? They turned this classic dish into something more upscale. The addition of the pesto was something I particularly loved. Their pizzas are always yummy. They import everything from Italy so it all tastes authentic... Authentically delicious! If you are a calzone fan like I am I recommend trying them out. read more

V Pizza + Sidecar - A yummy caprese sandwich is a delicious option with fresh ingredients. - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Out of the many pizza places in Gainesville, V Pizza is one of my favorites. FOOD (5/5): The pizza here is great and fired in a wood-burning oven. I suggest getting several options and then splitting them with the table. My recommendations are as follows: - Calabrian Spicy Wings(10 wings) $13 - Pizza Delle Donne $17 - Pizza Carnivora $18 - Pizza Napoli $16 - Pizza Picante $17.5 SERVICE (5/5): Always great. AMBIANCE (5/5): Very fun trivia on Thursdays. Happy hour specials are good for cocktails and craft beer. read more

Great for happy hour that starts at 3 pm. Nice selection of wine and spirits from sidebar. A must is their chicken wings. Nice onions smothered with seasoning. We start with a side salad that's always fresh. Then comes the pizza, this time was a vegetarian topped with mushrooms, tomatoes and artichoke. Very tasty. Nice location downtown. read more

It's a nice place, the servers are friendly, and the food tastes good, but man, is it just way too expensive for the little amount of food you get. $14 for a sandwhich, I'm expecting a big sandwhich, and instead got two small pieces of bread with a couple vegetables in between. Tasted good, but the price was just ridiculous. And it doesn't even come with a side item of any kind. read more

One of my favorite spots in Gainesville! Right at the heart of Downtown, V Pizza serves some great food. Went on a Friday night with my roommates and we were seated right away. We all loved what we ordered and the service was good. Will definitely be returning! read more

I'm handicapped and disabled. I just had the rudest experience from the bartender. He gave me attitude the moment I sat down. His bar back took care of me. Wiped my place down that was dirty, while the bartender continuesd to be extremely rude to me and other guest. I asked for his name and he would not give it to me. I asked the manager for his name and he refused to give it to me. So I walked out. I would never go back or recommend this restaurant. Two big thumbs down!!! I went back in to try the food and sit at a table to see if the experience would be any better and if the manager would do something about how rude his bartender was to me. So the wings were great. The server was great. The manager on the other hand didn't care and in fact said he laughed at the review I left about his bartender being rude to me because I am handicapped. So if you go, I would sit at a table and avoid the bartender and management at all costs. Also since management is not competent enough to resolve this issue. Whoever is above management, maybe the owner needs to address this matter in my opinion. It really made me feel uncomfortable as a handicap person and I don't think I will go back after management just basically laughed in my face. I'm extremely upset and disappointed. I feel made fun of for my disability. This is not how disabled people should be treated!! I also have 20 years of restaurant experience. Everything from a bartender, server, bar manager, front of house manager. I have been at places for 10 years, 7 years, and 6 years at another. I have worked for very successful restaurants that Gross over 8 million a year. All of this before I was recently disabled. So I know a thing or 2 about restaurants. This one has some cleaning house to do in my opinion... Now the owner is lying about what happened to try and cover for his rude staff! Extremely disappointed!! The owner can make up what ever he wants to try to cover up this incident, but unfortunately it happened and he can't own up to it. Good luck with supporting that inappropriate behavior from your management and staff. I will tell everyone I know not to support your business! Thank you for your inconsiderate response. Hope it was worth it. read more

Very good pizza . Thin crust made in a traditional brick oven . They even had cauliflower crust pizza which was very good . The wings were outrageously good nice and charred. Very flavorful. Highly recommend this place . read more

Every time that I come to Gainesville it is a must to visit them, love it, great food , Service and opens late that's a major plus

Great chicken wings, pizza and Cesar salad. The pizza is cooked in a 1000 degree oven. Taste great. Really enjoyed this place. read more

After reading great reviews of V Pizza here in Jax, I decided to give them a try while I was in Gainesville recently. They're located right in the heart of downtown - great location. Parking can be hard to find, but there's a public garage close by. The interior is very industrial & modern. There is a large bar (Sidecar) located on one side with plenty of seating. Their cocktail menu looked very inviting! Our server was very attentive, our salads were delicious - the only thing wrong was the pizza. What should have been the star of the night - was not quite up to par. I love thin crust pizza, but this crust had no bite at all. It flopped over when I tried to pick it up. Toppings were sparse - I counted 6 mushroom pieces on the entire pizza. The cheese & sauce were good - so the pie wasn't a total loss. read more

This place is great!! Awesome location and absolutely phenomenal cocktails. They are a little pricier, but you definitely get a well made drink for the price. The drink menu theme is related to Always Sunny in Philadelphia which is SO GREAT. The pizza and calzones are delicious. It's open later as well which is great. Overall, very much enjoyed the experience. Also, if you're there around Christmas Time they have some tasty Christmas themed cocktails! read more

Food was amazing! Service was great and super kid friendly. We would definitely go back.

Went here over lunch the other day and got really, really slow service but the food was amazing as always. I only saw one person in the kitchen and one girl serving tables. In our time here, I heard the phone constantly as no one was picking it up and we, along with most of the others I saw walk in, waited at the front door for an unreasonable amount of time. I would have understood if I'd seen anyone picking up the pace, but to be honest, everyone in the restaurant acted as though it was a lazy Sunday with no regard to lunch hour which I'm assuming a large portion of their customers are on at that time on a weekday. Would love to come back but won't be budgeting my lunch hour with Vpizza again and will be turning my tail right around if I get that waitress again. read more

I am in town for work and ordered one of their Pizza Carnivora to go. I took it back to my hotel room and found a cockroach sitting under one of the slices of the pizza. I am assuming it was baked into the crust as it was between the paper lining and the crust. I called them and demanded a refund. The manager I spoke with apologized and explained they have never had a bug problem before. She refunded my money and offered to make me another pizza, but I declined as I lost all trust in this place. Manager also offered a gift card, but once again I declined, as I will never order food from this place again. I sent them the same pictures posted under this review, as requested per the manager. read more

The pizza was on point. Both of the pasta dishes that we ordered tasted watered down. The sauce was thin and the pasta was overdone. I hope that helps. We are definitely coming back for the pizza and bruschetta :) read more

Made yet another trip to Vs tonight. Service from Alyssa was FANTASTIC and the food was great as always. Other than a rowdy table of frat boys who were clearly drunk when they sat down, we had the same excellent experience as always. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese pizza and those wings. Get in my belly. read more

Ambiance is great, food is fantastic and the service was great as well. We ordered a three topping pizza which was one of the best we've had. Thin type crust and ours was crispy-chewy. Perfect! They even know how to make good brewed iced tea, which seems to be becoming a lost art. Very glad we stopped in. read more

Walked into this place late last night planning to get a few desserts with the family, but the restaurant smelled so good we had to get dinner too. We had the Pizza Carnivora and Pizza Insalata as well as a traditional calzone. Everything was delicious. Also our servers were some of the friendliest ever. Highly recommend for dinner!! read more

"This is the best fancy pants pizza in town" says the fiancé. He is more of a delivery and pepperoni pizza kind of guy, so coming from him and that he wants to come back, it's a big compliment. I thought the entire experience was amazing and we will be back again soon. The restaurant is set up the same as the prior pizza restaurant (no affiliation) with booth seating on the left side of the restaurant as you enter and the "Side car", which is an upscale bar, on the right. There is also outside seating which we may try next time. You can hear the Free Friday night music from here. The first thing you notice when walking in after telling the hostess where you'd like to sit are the two large wood fired ovens, front and center. We sat on the Sidecar side which we loved. It's the same as before with a large horse shoe in the center and pub tops around. It has a really nice romantic upscale ambiance. Dan, our bar tender and one of the owners, walked us through menu and new cocktails offered. He also informed us that everything... EVERYTHING is cooked in the wood fired ovens and that there were no grills, convection ovens or other cooking appliances used to cook anything. Drinks: The Lipstick Vogue was my favorite cocktail of the night with a sweet/tart flavor profile mixed with Hendricks Gin. I tried the Spring Affair but it was a little too cucumbery for me. Some may find it pleasing though. They have a pleather a of classic cocktails listed in their leather bound cocktail menu along with pages of whiskey/scotch/bourbon to choose from. They have a nice selection of craft beers on draft and in bottles along with a nice list of wines fitting for restaurant. GET THE WINGS. They are not your typical wings. "Savory" is the word that best describes them. I thought they tasted like Thanksgiving day turkey, but in the form of chicken wings. Moist, juicy, slightly oily with savory herbs like rosemary, sage and thyme. All topped with caramelized onions. Not your typical wings. Pizza: Dan suggested the Margherita pizza to try first to get a feel for the wood fired pizza style but we ended up getting the Carnivora since it had pancetta and soppressata on it. They also make their sauce with san marzano tomatoes, the best tomatoes on earth for making pasta and pizza sauce. We use them at home to make our own pizzas. The pizza was excellent. Crust was perfectly fired with little blisters giving extra flavor to the pizza. Even though it was a "carnivore" pizza, it wasn't heavy or greasy. Had the perfect amount of toppings to crust ratio. Even after sitting in our refrigerator two days... It still tastes better than delivery out there. If you are looking for a more "fancy pants" of a pizza restaurant but still want to dress casual, this is it. Just know they are a little expensive with most cocktails $8-$9 and the pizzas being around $17-$18 each. I'll be back though as it is a great date night spot. read more

Came here for an event with a group of 15+ people in the back room. It was a pub-like atmosphere and we had attentive and quick servers despite a busy Thursday evening. The pizza and wings were excellent, particularly for this part of the country. Would highly recommend. Drinks/beer on tap has a good selection also, if you're into that. Will go back for sure read more

V Pizza is so delicious! First of all, the staff is so nice. They are super attentive and efficient. The wings were baked to a perfect crisp and the flavor is soooo good. Personally, I prefer crispier wings. So, if you like them like that as well, this is the place for you. read more

You know those strange people who go to a pizza place, but don't order pizza? Yes, this was my friend and I last night for the sole reason that my roommate had mentioned how good V Pizza's wings are. We were not disappointed at all!! I recommend the Calabrian Wings if you want a spicier taste. The rub was delicious with a perfect balance of seasonings. The wings weren't too saucy and instead had a unique paste of olive oil and a variety of spices. Some of the wings might have been a tad bit too fatty and oily. We also ordered the Mac and Cheese, but were unable to eat more than 3 bites after being so full from the wings. As much as I like cheese, this dish felt more like eating melted cheese with the occasional bite of noodle. The restaurant is definitely worth the price. Next time, I'll try the pizza for sure! read more

What an awesome experience!!! The atmosphere is amazing and the food is fantastic!
