We got an OVERWHELMING amount of responses to this poll. People in Gainesville are seriously passionate about pizza. Is it the thick crusted Chicago style that folks sought after or the thin and crispy New York style? We have a few long-standing pizza joints in Gainesville that ranked pretty high which is no surprise and we’ve listed them for you, in order, here from the most popular responses to honorable mentions.
#1: Coming in neck and neck with the most votes are Satchel’s and Leonardo’s Millhopper.
No surprises here; these two pizza spots have been around Gainesville for a couple of decades or more. While Leonardo’s Millhopper features their famous Chicago Style thicker, hearty crust pizza as their house special, Satchel’s is best known for their thinner crust and their “Satchel’s Salad” but they also offer a “deep dish” option.
#2: Coming up behind our two winners is Blue Highway Pizza. With locations in Tioga Town Center and Micanopy. Our Savvy agents are known to dine here for lunch together pretty frequently, too!
#3: Right on Blue Highways heels, Piesano’s takes the bronze medal for the 3rd place best pizza in Gainesville. They offer locations in Gainesville and Ocala, just like us!
#4: Big Lou’s in downtown Gainesville scored at number 4
#5: For 5th place, we also have a tie. V’s Pizza downtown and Blaze Pizza both made it into our top five.
Honorable mentions in no specific order, go to: Napolitano’s, I <3 New York Pizza, Villaggio’s Pizzeria in Newberry, O Sole Mio, Mora, and Italian Gator. Try 'em out and let us know what you think!
