The pizza is fair. All white flour crust is rather tasteless, the wait is too long although they forewarn you that you may have a long wait, it's far more expensive than other good pizza in town and they only take cash. I'm sorry it's chic and hip but this is 2009 and not accepting credit cards is a bit... more

We went on a Wednesday night. It was busy, but we were seated right away, had a small salad shared by the 3 of us. It was very good and plenty big. I didn't time them, but it wasn't long to wait for our freshly made pizza. The staff was friendly and kept our drinks filled. The deep dish pizza... more

Satchel's Pizza has developed a cult following in Gainesville which I don't understand. Parking is difficult when the restaurant is busy. Service is minimal. The pizza has good flavor but has always been soggy in the center which detracts from the overall impresion. Other restaurants seem able to have a thick crust with topping that is not so liquid that... more

This place is AWFUL. Staff: Unfriendly, unhelpful, UNSHOWERED, etc. They take pride in telling people to wait 2 hours for a pizza. I find it detestable that others overlook that and have "Sorry I'm late, I was at Satchel's" bumper stickers on their cars. Does it make you feel that cool that you waited 2 hours for a pizza at... more

The atmoshpere at Satchel's is a perfect representation of Gainesville-eclectic, funky, Southern, fun. The pizza is really good with a wide variety of fresh toppings to choose from and the sauce is spicy without being overpowering. The salads are the best in town. True, the prices are higher than chain pizzarias-but the servings are HUGE and the food is wonderful.... more

Pizza is good but there are better places in Gainesville for pizza. The calzone is indeed excellent and the portions are huge. Service is very hit or miss given the conglomerate effort. Overall, worth a try but the pizza is very expensive for what you get. The salad is also very good.15 more
