The 12 Best Restaurants in Gainesville, Florida | Eater Miami

"Reaching its 20th year in business, Satchel’s Pizza is a hippie’s paradise locals flock to for more than just the food. Its loud mosaic-tile paintings and stained-glass windows are a unique addition to founder Satchel Raye, who designed much of the pieces in his backyard, including a booth made out of his bright-blue 1965 Ford Falcon van after driving it for a decade. The restaurant is known for its over 30 pizza toppings, including four types of tempeh for vegans, and its deep-dish pie, the “Satch-Pan Pizza,” for $35. Guests can order individual slices for $4 or $6.50 for four toppings. Guests can expect live music and entertainment, a personal gift shop, and a children’s playground. The restaurant’s popularity led to Raye opening a sister location, Satch Squared, in 2021, specializing in Detroit-style pizza and waffles."
