Nice ambience to hang out with friends after work or college and good pizza and drinks. The quality of the food though has been a little disappointing.

Pizza topping and sauce were very good. The dough on the other hand was not. Either it was old or frozen premade like an old dive bar pizza. Either way it is crispy on the bottom and uncooked in the middle. Perforation might hep but probably not. It just taste old and uneventful. My quest for the best pizza in Gville continues. This is not it.

This restaurant is wonderful for grabbing a bite and watching some sports. The food is really good too - I love the mozzarella sticks. The rolls personally aren't for me, but they're a hit with my friends. Service has consistently been professional and friendly. I look forward to returning when I can and I recommend this place to anyone.

Stood and waited for the waitress and hostess to finish their conversation before they sat us. We finally got to a table and no one came. Place wasn't busy. Staff everywhere. It's a shame. Never had issues with the Ocala locations.

We once had a debate at work for the best pizza place in Gainesville - Piesanos was in the top three. I like their calzones - chicken Marsala also yummy. The rolls are too delicious.

Third time was not the charm. Have eaten here three times now in the last two months. Staff is friendly and helpful, menu is filled with plenty of options and food has potential to be very good, BUT ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS SOOOOOO SALTY. I had the Caesar salad each time, once aa my entree and the other two times as an add on with a dinner entree; had pasta once and chicken once with a side salad each time. Everything looked so appealing, but once I started eating it was like I was licking a salt shaker. The chef needs to drastically pull back on the salt and then this place would be my go to place every week. Until they reduce the salt, I hesitate to try it again.

Food was great. Staff is friendly! Have to wait on hold for a little bit to put in take out order. But all together please with food.

Placed a pickup order (a large pizza and cheese bread), and it took them 50 minutes, the cheese bread was hot but the pizza was luke warm. Heard great things about this place, but my experience was not. Super disappointed.

Wish I could give this place zero stars. I decided to give it another chance after one less than mediocre experience months ago, but the second time I went was even worse. I was with a big party this time (14 people) and 5 people got something they didn't want. My friend's "Alfredo" was made with bleu cheese, and neither the menu nor the waitress informed us it wasn't going to be the traditional Parmesan. She couldn't even stomach finishing it. Someone else's pizza was soggy and oily to the point where it dripped. And the overhyped rolls taste like they just drown plain rolls in Italian dressing. Everyone else said the food was OK besides 2 or 3 who said it was good, specifically the Mediterranean pizza.My partner has dietary restrictions and wasn't able to order anything off of their menu, so we brought something for them to eat and thought it should be ok because it was one meal out of 14 total, and it didn't affect the amount of meals we were buying since they don't even have 1 option for my partner. But we were told absolutely no outside food is allowed. We were going out to all celebrate together, but seeing my partner go hungry during that time took away my appetite and dampened the mood. The waitress was OK, especially considering it was near the end of the night, but the manager really needs to consider adding something for people who are intolerant/allergic to dairy or have other restrictions.If you're craving pizza, there's a good handful of other options in town that are much better. Satchel's and Blaze, just to name a couple.Vegetarian options: Not really vegetarian-friendly. Just a few dairy-heavy meatless options, and some things you would need to modify to make vegetarianDietary restrictions: Gluten free option is heavily overpricedAbsolutely NO vegan optionsVegetarian options are mid

Unfortunately we didn't have a great experience , we ordered a lasagna that was served totally burnt and the chicken Parmesan was also burnt. We requested that it be changed and the server was very amicable and apologetic and complied, I had preferred the Chicken with a the spicy tomato sauce but the new plate was extremely spicy unlike the burnt one, I believe that it was "revenge of the Chef" I simply couldn't eat it. The lasagna was great. I must say that the service was very good.
