"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." - Jared Teitel

Satchels opened in 2003, I believe. It is next to the Repurpose Project and Reuse Renovators, and an obvious fan and partner in creative reuse for its decor. I was wowed by the creative reuse of junk into funky fun decor and a relaxed happy vibe. Our server Rocky is a joy, top notch, very friendly, and an asset to Satchels. My Mamma's Pizza single slice was hugely huge, a great value, perfectly crisp and tasty crust. Quirky dining alcoves are tucked all around the outside of the building and indoor dining is also available. Free off street parking is available. Cash and major credit cards are accepted. Satchels makes its own soft drinks (how about that?). The topping list for pizza was about 20 and very varied. I will be back.

All-in-all a unique and fun experience at this pizza parlor with a wild flare of fun, artistic antiques, paintings, tile, and paintings. Each menu looks as if it were handcrafted just like their homemade pop! We chose to try the root beer which had the sweetness, yet interesting tartness to it as well. Dinner for 6 was 1 salad (VERY good) with 2 pizzas and 1 calzone: green pepper & onion, sausage, and mozzarella, ricotta, garlic. The crumbled sausage was very tasty with a kick to it. The green pepper and onion pizza we chose was very simple but hearty in its own way. The calzone was packed with cheese and 1 piece alone was enough to satisfy my lactose intolerance! The crust can be described as a chewier dough but with a crunch. The sauce was good; however, I felt it could use a bit more seasoning. Overall this place was great and we had a significant amount of food left over! And the dessert menu was wild and fun 😁! Completely recommend!

More Than Just Pizza - This pizzeria is a hidden gem—part restaurant, part art gallery, part plant shop, part playground. With a very unique twist and personality. This place has so much to offer, you can stay here and enjoy the pizza and salads and then spend time just admiring all the decor. The menu is creative and delicious, the pizza its 5 stars, all types of toppings. The space is filled with local art, making every visit feel like an experience, not just a meal. A perfect spot to eat, wander, and get inspired.

This place is just so different. You have to make sure you go through each building to really get the whole vibe. There's also a wonderful little playground around one side, outdoors. Plants galore surround this place and some are for sale. The pizza slices are gigantic !!! The entire atmosphere is incredible.

One of the coolest restaurants we’ve ever visited. Zero complaints and all praise here! My daughter thought sitting in an old van to eat (and being able to “drive” it) was the coolest thing ever! We got the soda flight which was yummy and we were so impressed that it was made on site. Our daughter, again thought this was so cool. It’s not the norm to have a flight appropriate for kids. The pizza and calzone we ordered were delicious and very fresh - actually cannot wait to eat my leftovers. We also got a big bad cookie and bon bons (which, by the way, was featured on a view master! So fun!). My only regret is that we didn’t order more bon bons for later! The atmosphere was so cool. We stayed for a while after we finished eating just to play and explore. The staff was so friendly and helpful as well. I kept telling my husband that it was so clear to me that so much love was put into this place. I doubt we will ever be able to come back and visit, but we will tell everyone we know who is visiting to add it to their must stop list. Thanks for a great experience!

Fun atmosphere and great pizza! What else could I ask for? Very cool place. They have a table service side and more of a shot and listen to music, order at the counter side. The pizza was delicious. You could taste all of the ingredients and you can tell they use quality. Such a yummy sauce. I'm already salivating thinking about my next visit. I think it's a great place for kids. Big family and friends tables on the counter service side. They have live music too. This is a must visit if you're coming to gainesville. Parking can be persnickety so be patient but if you've been to gainesville before it won't shock you.

Haven't been by in a while, but in the neighborhood, so I did a take out order and glad I did! I love looking at all the cool art, decorations and nick nacks! It brings back memories and always puts a smile on my face🤗 I didn't take pictures, except of my delicious lunch special 😋 I was too busy looking at all the cool stuff and deciding what I was gonna buy🙂 Till next time...

Quirky and fun place that was a blast to get pizza. The pizza itself was very good, very thick crust, but sweet, delicate, and pretty flawless. The salad is absolutely amazing. Ambience is incredibly cool and awesome and the weight staff was extremely nice, smiling and very helpful.
