Ordered catering for work and the order was ready on time for pick-up and perfect.
The only thing that was a tiny bit weird was that the 1 gallon drinks came in sturdy plastic bags (with resealable tops) instead of gallon jugs.
Pizzas were a hit and the Caesar salad with rolls were enjoyed by all employees. Thanks for another year of good holiday pizzas ✨️

Excellent service and delicious popular Italian food. First time dining in at Piesanos, always ordered delivery, and the experience was great. The server was attentive and made sure I was taken care of the entire time. Opted for the classic spaghetti and meatballs dinner due to a craving, and wasn’t disappointed. Loaded it with parmesan and little crushed red pepper for spice. The garlic rolls were also delicious!

Came on the Friday of parents’ weekend and thankfully we had put our name on the waitlist online (it was about a 75-90 minute wait). The place was packed and finding a parking spot was harder than finding a wonky golden ticket. Some spots are for both the restaurant and hotel, some just for the hotel, and some not as clearly marked. Some are also nearly impossible to fit or even get into if you don’t have a compact car and/or right angle. The restroom looked a bit disastrous. The rolls which have been a highlight in the past were quite stale and disappointing. Our waitress was very pleasant and did her best to stay on top of things despite the volume of people. Calamari was piping hot in a good way and surprisingly good. The pizza was fine but not spectacular. I know they were “swamp”ed but this wasn’t a surprise weekend so I would definitely think twice about coming when it’s a busy time in the city.

We had such a great experience here! We ordered the broccoli garlic capellini, chicken carbonara, and lasagna — and every dish was absolutely delicious. The broccoli garlic capellini was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the chicken carbonara was creamy and rich without being too heavy, and the lasagna was hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor.
The service was just as amazing as the food. Our server was so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. They even surprised us with cannolis for my birthday, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch!
Overall, everything from the food to the service made it a really special dinner. We’ll definitely be back! ✨

We had delivery from door dash and the delivery guy was very nice. Delivery was quick. Everything was packaged nicely. We had spaghetti with marinara, and meatballs. They are huge and a good price for just 3.00. Each entree came with 2 rolls. We didn’t know they would as it didnt say so we ordered half a dozen. I am used to an Italian dinner especially at 19.00 coming with a salad but these didnt. I would have also thought packets of parm would be included. Spaghetti is very cheap to make especially marinara. Portions were a good size.

I came here to eat just for a quick bite without any expectations. However, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. To drink, I had a coke because a coke is a must for pizza like food. The server brought refill of coke without me asking, which I thought it was a nice gesture. The server also brought some complementary garlic rolls; but, they’re not your typical garlic rolls. They had Italian dressing on it and it was delicious. As an entree, I had a Greek veggie calzone and it was huge, cheesy and delicious. I was able to only eat half of it. The server saw that I slowed down and offered to bring a box. When he brought the box, I asked for a small container to put the rest of the marinara sauce. He told me he already put some of the sauce inside the box. Not only was the food delicious but the server anticipated all of my needs. I am definitely returning when I come back to Gainesville.

I had a horrible experience. The host was very passive egressive and was not welcoming. The girl on the to go area was also not very friendly. They did not give me any to go utensils, napkins, parm or anything. They didn’t even offer. I thought they would be in the bag so I didn’t even bother asking. They asked me for my phone number and never called me. My food was cold when I arrived (I waited about 30 mins) and when I walked in I stood in the door for about 10 mins. The host was busy cleaning dirty tables (she saw me and ignored me) when there were many tables clean and there was not a wait. Another girl was walking to the podium in the front entrance and when she looked at me she turned around, went to talk to the bartender and then got fake busy and never helped me. I had to stop a server to ask her if I could just walk to the to go area. Honestly, I felt very discriminated. I probably wont be coming back. So sad about this because I had high hopes for this place.
Ohh, and the bread was “un-eatable”. Completely soaked in liquid butter and soggy. I’m not sure if they did that on purpose, because who wants wet soggy bread? And the pasta was bland and didn’t taste like anything.

I have been to sooooo many pizza places in my life. Eaten all kinds of different pizza styles. This right here is the absolute best I have ever tried FOR REAL! The sauce is perfect, crust and underside has a nice crunch. You can taste how fresh everything is. The Mozzarella sticks could have been in a commercial the way the cheese stretched when pulling apart. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. There’s really nothing bad about this place! So glad I decided to give them a try! My new go-to spot! 10/10.

We were in town for work and got in late to our hotel and stopped in for dinner. We like to be informal and sat at the bar, they weren’t super busy so we had our pick of seats which was happy! The bartender was lovely! She greeted us with a giant smile and spent time with us chatting while we picked out our drinks and dinner. We had the meatball/feta appetizer and it was really good. It’s huge so def something you could share. We also ordered a med pepperoni pizza. We asked for it to be well done and it was greasy and limp at best. The sauce wasn’t super tasty and the pepperonis were supposed to be crispy and were not at all crispy. It’s just their style so give it a try you might love it. I’m a crispy well done pizza lover. They have a lot of choices for drinks and all in all I feel like for a college campus this place is perfect! If you are in the area give it a try!
