SquareHouse Pizza

This pizza is soooooo good. Literally might have been the best I've ever had. I would 100% recommend coming here. We had my family of 5, got three pizzas and ate almost all of it. Spend about $40 total. It has a nice vibe and our family really enjoyed it. It did take a bit for our pizzas to be ready, but thats probably because we ordered 3. So if you don't want to wait a while, i wouldnt recommend coming here with a group larger than about 9. Was definitely worth the wait though! Can't wait to go back again and try other items!

Hit this place at the prime time 6:30 on a Saturday night. Not too busy in the 4th ave food park. This pizza was 8x10 square (Square House pizza) and the crust was just thick enough and crispy like a Detroit style pizza should be. Got sausage and mushrooms and it took 15 minutes with a decent price. Wasn’t dry with just the right amount of toppings, cheese, and sauce. Best pizza I’ve had in quite a while. Just right for two of us.

Delicious Detroit style pizza. Large topping menu to pick from. Large outdoor seating area with open spaces with plenty of fresh air.

The pizzas were amazing, especially the Mariah Curry one with cauliflower. Simple menu and good service. Personally I would like to not have flies everywhere. Maybe best to carry out if you are nearby. The waffles were nice but little eggy. Could use some vanilla.

I was near University Ave and really wanted Satchel's Pizza (IYKYK) but didn't want to drive over there. So I made a stop at SquareHouse Pizza, hoping it would be just as good as the real thing, and I was not disappointed! This place used to be called "Satchel's Squared" and was run and owned by Satchel. It has since been bought out by his partner. The name changed, but the pizza is still top-notch! Great pizza in a great location!

Absolutely the best tasting pizza we have ever had the pleasure to eat! You definitely need to try them out. Amazing food and outstanding owners!

Food was amazing! We’ve been to multiple Gluten Free pizza places even out of state and this was by far the best we’ve ever had. To top it off the Gluten Free pizza is deep dish and so delicious. Not only is the pizza amazing the Gluten Free waffles are also delicious. Definitely try the pizza you will be in shock!!!

Fun little place to get your Detroit style pizza fix. The crust is thick and chewy and has that great crispy cheese edges. Had the pesto on top which is super garlicky and thick. Looking forward to trying the specialty pizzas next. If the weather is nice, the outside dining under the trees is fun.

Exceptionally good pizza. Great vibes. Great customer service. Good atmosphere (at the food depot). But the pizza is the highlight here. Just really outstanding and delicious.

Sorry- just didn't love it like all the other reviewers. Easy to find. Didn't have any trouble parking. Guy inside was pleasant. Place is quirky, which we like. Really appreciated that the guy washed his hands after using the register b4 making pizzas. This is 1 of the only places I can say where I've seen sanitary practices truly used so thank u! Ordered the gf pizzas, which we truly appreciated them offering, & salad. It's a Detroit style but even a little puffier. Unfortunately we just didn't enjoy the pizza. It's pricy but u get a lot of pizza. Could definitely share. It's not ur typical wimpy sized gf pizza. However, it's mostly like eating a loaf of bread w/a touch of topping/cheese/red sauce. It got old really quickly. Picnic tables r outside- wasn't too hot when we were there but tons of flies so not comfortable. Salad was ok- meh. Wouldn't return.

This place is a gem! The location itself is a blast--right next to outdoor seating and live music. Parking can be a small hassle, especially on a busy Saturday morning, but we found a spot after circling a few times. The breakfast pizza is yummy! Next time, I'd get the syrup topping instead of the red sauce. Regardless, it was still pretty good, and comes with egg + one free topping. Would highly recommend the pizza if you like thicker crust.

This is one of best places in Gainesville. Definitely in my top 10. This little pizza shack is a Detroit style pizza place with a twist because they sell waffles too. We always order the pepperoni with Hot honey. If you haven't tried this combo yet then you are definitely missing out. The pizza is always so fresh and they are all made to order. The size is definitely personal pan but you can get a couple different combos and share with friends. This place is located in a Food park and they have plenty outside seating. The place is also decorated in lots of artsy recycled items, that just adds to the charm. Check this place out you won't regret it!

I tried one of the monthly special pies at SquareHouse and it was amazing! This is a super great place to get fun flavor combinations on a pizza! Sitting outside at 4th Ave is also always a great time!

This was such a cool chill spot!! If you want to grab a pizza and have a relaxing time with friends, this is a perfect place. It has alot of tables outside and I like how it is connected to other restaurants. The pizza was yummy. I had the buffalo chicken pizza and it was very flavorful and a good portion size for the price. The walls were nice decorated with cool decor and there is a fun shop to get collector items as you are purchasing your pizza. Fun place to check out in Gainsville!

While I typically prefer thinner New York style pizza, this pizza is also delicious! When I came here a long time ago I wasn't much of a fan, but this time it was so much better! I got the Motor City pizza, which I highly recommend (double pepperoni and hot honey). The crust and cheese were excellent and the flavors were all really good. The service is pretty good and the ambiance of the food park is really nice. There's plenty of outdoor seating and the inside where you order is super cute as well. The pizza is huge, I split it with a friend and half was plenty, so you get a good portion for the price!

So I knew that Satchels had opened a second location downtown somewhere, but never knew where. Then I completely missed it, since Squarehouse Pizza is the result of that location breaking off from Satchels completely and doing their own thing. To which I say "Good for them!" I was at an event a couple of doors down, and someone there had gotten a pepperoni pizza from Squarehouse, and it just smelled so good! So I decided to get one myself. Walked down the way, ordered up the pizza, and waited while they cooked it. The place has the same sort of kooky vibe that Satchels has, but let me just say that the food is a lot better! I get Satchels on a semi-regular basis due to its proximity to where I work, but that is only because I kind of get dragged there by visiting people who think it is the greatest. Frankly, I would go to Squarehouse every time, except it is half way across town and that doesn't lend well to needing to grab a bite to eat for lunch. The pizza was good! I went with a pepperoni and jalapeno combination, and though it was a bit salty (pepperoni has a lot of variation) it was still excellent. I will be returning!

Love this pizza. My favorite is the buffalo chicken but I tried the Big Bradford this time and it was so tasty! Love getting to try their other pizzas because they never disappoint. Ir sometimes takes a little bit longer because they are making the pizzas fresh but it's totally worth it. I also love getting to eat it at 4th Ave. SquareHouse itself is a cool quirky place, and the outside at 4th Ave is so lovely and fun.

Edit: I think I worded the original review incorrectly. I meant to say that people who ordered after got their two pizzas before I got mine. I understand that this is a local business with perhaps limited staff or 86'd ingredients so if the issue with the time of my pizza was due to certain ingredients being out temporarily or certain pizza styles taking longer than average then I feel that a notice at the cashier would be appropriate . It totally could've been a mistake though and if the time issue had nothing to do with this then I would say to potential customers that even though the wait is long, it is long due to popularity and the food being made authentically from scratch. I would recommend ordering ahead online or calling in, but I see that is not an option on the website. I think it would be really neat if this was added to customer experience eventually ! I appreciate that this is a local business and took their time to respond to my review. The original reason for my subpar review was not only the wait, but the wait with the discolored pizza to which I thought was mold. The business owner has since then informed me that this discoloration is due to oxidation of garlic and assured me that the pizza crust does not mold and that all dough is made from scratch! Overall, the pizza here is like no other with a cute outdoor seating area that really gives the venue character. The only thing I can recommend to customers it to note that the green color is NOT mold and if in the wet season bring mosquito spray! Overall if you are visiting Gainesville Squarehouse pizza and Satchel Pizza are the two venues I highly recommend.

So, I found a great lil pizza place as I also found shelter from the coming summer rain storm. I was greeted by a friendly "Welcome in!" by one of the cooks....no pressure, no corporate questions, just a nice greeting. There are trinkets and buttons and all kinds of stuff to buy, besides pizza, but I was drawn to the full rack of t-shirts. Some were funny, and some weren't for me, but I was here for the nourishment that fills the room with amazing Italian aroma! I walked straight to the counter and looked at the choices available, (easy peasy) and I chose basil, sausage and mushroom! Yummm!!! He told be it would be about 15 minutes, so I went out on the covered porch to enjoy the rain and try to avoid listening to the three coeds, two tables over, who were talking about their dream jobs! Before I knew it, my name was called and I went to the sliding window to grab my food. Another friendly encounter, and a "thank you" from the same worker who greeted me at the door! The pizza was amazing!! The texture all around the sides of the whole pizza was crisp and delicious. The red sauce was tangy, and the basil and sausage just made it even better. The cheese, the crust, the sauce and the different textures (I didn't forget the mushroom factor), made it so eat to enjoy! I could hardly take a picture of it, before I devoured it. I ate three of the four pieces of my personal pizza, and rested for ten minutes, before I ate the fourth! Such a great way to eat pizza! As one of the t-shirt said "Square Pizza Rules!"... or something like that.... I

A group of friends and I checked out the 4th Avenue Food Park for dinner this past Friday. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the environment. They posted Mexican while I ordered pizza! Square House Pizza is quite unique. The building is very colorful, with lots of vibrant decor around. There isn't really any seating inside because it is a food park. Food is meant to enjoyed in the outside seating area. The ordering system is very efficient and straight forward. I thought the employees were pleasant too. It takes about 25 minutes per pizza and they will call your name over an intercom when it's complete. The pizzas are 8x10 with 4 large slices. It could be a personal pie or be split, depends how hungry you are. I ordered the Motor City Pizza which included double pepperoni and hot honey. I added ricotta cheese for an extra charge. The pizza was pretty good. I love Detroit style pizza and I didn't expect to find it here in Gainesville, but this hit the spot! Certainly wasn't the absolute best I've had, but it was still really good. I appreciated the use of the pepperoni cups, they have so much for crispiness and flavor. The heat of the hot honey worked magically with the spiciness of the pepperonis. The ricotta was a nice addition, as it added some creaminess to the pizza. I thought the sauce was flavorful. Although there could have been a little less. The edges were nice and crispy but I found the center to be a little softer/doughier than I would prefer. The amount of sauce may have contributed to the softer center. I definitely think this is a pizza you should eat almost right away there at the park. If it sits in the box it lose its crispiness and be more doughy. I would recommend trying Square House Pizza if you are looking for a pan styled pizza. It offers a nice selection of unique Detroit styled pizzas with a variety of topping. It was a solid pizza. My only complaint would be that there could have been a little less sauce. But besides that, I thought it was delightful! The food park was super fun and added to the experience as well. Will be retuning without a doubt and I look forward to trying more of their pizzas!

Excellent personal deep dish, pizzas. We thoroughly enjoyed both pizzas received, and the outdoor area was very large. Good beer selection at reasonable prices at the Mexican restaurant across from Square box. We will definitely be back.

Pizza Waffles. Yum.They may take a bit longer then u think but it worth every single buck u spent trust

I don't even like pizza but this place is delicious! It's a little pricy for a personal pizza but it's well worth it. You walk in and order at the counter and wait for them to call your name from the window. It took about 25 minutes to get our order so call ahead if you're in a rush. Today I ordered a cheese pizza with ricotta, pepperoni and hot honey. Each topping is a dollar extra. The hot honey takes this pizza over the top!! They bake it in a deep dish pan and it creates this amazing super crunchy cheese on the crispy crust. If you're a fan of thin crust this isn't the place but if you love cheese, and thick deep dish you need to come here. There's no seating inside but it shares a common outside area with a delicious Mexican restaurant, and a few other local business in the shopping center. This place definitely worth a stop and I look forward to visiting the next time I'm in Gainesville.

Scrumptious and dangerously good. Great location- along with other food choices. Great friendly service and only a short wait for fresh food. Outdoor seating only so avoid a hot hot day but the courtyard is very enjoyable and cute. Will return for the Taco Pizza.

The pizza here is pretty solid. Not the best in the world but great. I like how they emphasize the pizzas being square, makes it stand out. I had pepperoni and the flavor and texture were great. I would like to come back and try more things.

Love this place, worth the price. I've went multiple days straight and it's always been a vibe. ADD HOT HONE Y lol Enjoy!

This pizza spot is cool inside has a lot of merch that you can look at and I tried the motor city and the garden variety pizza and both was good and delicious

This was my first time trying a Detroit style deep dish pizza, and it's safe to say I wasn't disappointed! I'm not really a big fan of pizza overall but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza at Satch Squared. I was told by my friends that live up there that this location is also owned by a locally loved pizza place. The pizza had a good flavor and a bit of a spice to it. The crispy crust was my favorite part and the top part of the pizza was pillowy soft. We got one personal pizza that fed two adults and was the perfect amount. My favorite part about my experience was the ambiance of the place. It had a little Indy vibe and filled with cool Knick knacks that I loved. I ended up buying an oven mitt. I could go in just to browse the trinkets alone! I also really enjoyed the outdoor seating and how a sink was available to wash our hands outside. We sat inside a bus turned into a picnic area which was really neat. Unfortunately the mosquitoes followed us in there but it's Florida so you can't really expect otherwise. I would definitely return to this location.

I've been wanting to try this place out based off of the reviews from other Yelpers. Today my mom and I wanted to grab a chill sit down lunch and 4th Ave Depot Park we decided on because of the options. I grew up going to Satchel's Pizza, and already knew this location would be just as good! When you walk in, the aesthetic is very eclectic with various trinkets in the front before you order at the counter. I ordered a Motor City which is pepperoni and hot honey, which is one of my fav toppings on pizza. My mom got a garden variety which has roasted red peppers, artichokes, yellow peppers, tomatoes, basil. Since it's the Detroit style pizza, the sauce is drizzled on top across the pizza. The pizzas took about 10-15 minutes to make as they're made to order. Also being that the weather was in the high 50's to 60 degrees out, I'm so happy we decided on a hot pizza. My mouth was watering from how amazing the presentation was, the cup pepperonis with hot honey in each crevice - chefs kiss! The sauce was sweet but still had an oregano taste that made the sauce enjoyable and not overpowering. My mom enjoyed her option, stating it was very light with all the veggie toppings and very easy to eat. The crust was a highlight for us both as it's airy and perfectly crispy edges. I can't wait to go back to try other options like the Mariah Curry! I got a chance to speak with Brad - super friendly and nice as well - at the front who explained to me that the menu changes with the business adding new flavors every so often. Y'all go out and support local pizza businesses, you won't be disappointed!

I ordered a pizza with ham, jalapeño, and pineapple and it was $16 for a small pizza with extremely sparse toppings. Honestly disappointing, and it could use more salt. Then we tried a waffle with chocolate chips. They charged $13 but only gave one small container of chocolate chips (imagine Mac Donald's ketchup cup) and it cost $0.50 for each additional small container. Also, the waffles tasted almost alcoholic or fermented?? I had someone else try and they agreed. The discrepancy between the price and service leaves much to be desired. A shame because 4th ave location is very pretty. Save your money for one of the other restaurants in my opinion!

One word: WAFFLES!!!! You have to try these! One bite and you'll be hooked. Crispy and light, tasting better with each bite! It's like a funnel cake and a waffle had a delicious baby! I don't eat much sweets ( I'm salty:), but I plowed through these!! I got the half order, came with 2 Large waffles, with sweet cream butter and syrup. Amazeballs! Yes! More please! Definitely recommend this place!

I found this place via yelp looking for gluten free, gluten free pizza is EASY to find in any city/state, DEEP DISH Detroit style Gluten free pizza-not so much! I loved the flavor combos they had, how helpful they were over the phone with my questions (I ordered for pick up). I order the Hot Honey and pepperoni pizza, it was delish, just the right amount of toppings and cooked perfectly. I picked up and left, there looks to be an outdoor seating area and only a few tables inside. On a nice day this place would be neat to sit outside, eat, have a few drinks and hang with friends or loved ones.

Incredible pizza all around! As people who are gluten free we have had a lot of GF pizzas and this by far is the best.

I took my 3 kids to the 4th Avenue Food Park yesterday. My oldest chose to order from Square House. They got a pizza with pepperoni, ricotta, and extra cheese. Holy Smokes was that pizza good! The crust/edges are so freaking crispy! They loved every bite of the pizza. If you are a fan of pan pizza, do yourself a favor and try this! I don't normally like ricotta but, on this pie, it was amazing. Plus, the lil shop is so cool to hang out in while you wait for your order. My child is still talking about going back to get a t-shirt from there. I would definitely recommend Square House!

In Gainesville again this weekend and I find myself in the mood for pizza. I headed to Satch Squared pizza and waffles at the 4th Ave Food Park. They serve Detroit-style deep-dish pizza. A one-size basic pizza is $12 and each topping you pick is $1 each. I got extra cheese, bacon, and mushroom. The pizza was thick and the crust was so crispy and the flavor was fantastic. A wonderful way to fill the pizza-sized hole in my stomach. Since they also serve waffles, I got a half order with butter and syrup. These waffles are unlike any waffle I've had before. Most waffles are thick, fluffy, and sometimes dense. But these waffles were thin, crispy, sweet, and when biting into them felt like they melted in your mouth the way cotton candy does. They were so delicious and will definitely get those again before heading back to Jax.

It's one of the only spots I know of in Gainesville that does Detroit style pizza. It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. Sauce had a little kick, but the crust, the cheese, I really enjoyed it. The only thing, and it makes sense with how the Detroit style is made in a pan, is that the pizzas aren't very big. With a traditional, round pizza, you get 8 slices. This one is 4. So, depending on how hungry you were, one would be enough for 1 person, but two slices seem to be a good amount per person because it's pretty heavy. I like that they also have a variety of toppings to choose from.amd even offer a vegan cheese pizza as well. There was plenty of outdoor dining and the inside had different local items for sale too.

Returned in the evening for the pizza! Love the crispy pan of pizza- the edges are so delicious! Ordered regular pizza with just spinach on it. Wasn't a real fan of the pizza sauce appearing on top of the cheese, as this was a turnoff for my kids, but I personally found it fine. I also ordered Satchels' fountain sodas- a ginger ale and a lemonade- both super delicious and bubbly. What a treat to get homemade artisan sodas! What's not to love about the hip and local stuff for sale while waiting in line? My kids both own some squishy frog toys now. Also, love the eclectic statues made from trash decorating the front yard of the store. Most of all, love the wonderful yard of the 4th Ave park, where kids can play to their heart's content. Brilliant. Thanks for the chalk, the bus, the climber apparatus, the fenced in space, and the fun cat drawings along the fence.

A great vibe atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious pizza. A place you have to try.

The waffle is amazing and the pizza is even more amazing. Had the motor city and the Grumpy pizza would recommend it to everyone. I will definitely be back. Thank you

Loved. Gluten Free Pizza was so good. I didn't think I'd find a deep dish GF pizza anywhere. The staff were super friendly, and the shop/area is so cute. I wish I lived up here.

The pizza was so good. Slight spicy but it was perfect. The perfect thickness of dough. Crispy edges made for the perfect crunch and not soggy pizza. Not much seating especially when it's raining but it made for a cozy lunch with random people we got to share a table with. Staff was friendly.

Get there asap and cheese the day! What a great pizza pie! You get a perfect balance of doughiness and crunchiness and tangy zesty sauce. We got the vegan pepperoni and sausage and it was dangerous deep dish deliciousness! We also had the vegan waffles and I couldn't recommend them more. Great location and even better service! Worth the two and a half hour drive from Tampa!

The pizza here is good, but I've had mixed experiences where sometimes the pizza didn't have a lot of flavor. The ordering process is easy, employees are usually nice, and I recommend trying one of their special menu pizza options. Eating outside at 4th Ave when the weather is good cannot be beat!

I knew this was good pizza, but I had it again tonight after sometime and I just have to say this is really good pizza. It might be the best deep dish in town and I've been a Leonardo's pizza in the pan devotee my entire life, but I'm sorry this might just be better. It's really ....ing good pizza.

So good!!! One of my favorite places in Gainesville - definitely a favorite for pizza. They also have waffles, never tried those though. It's in 4th Ave food park so there's a lot of other businesses around for everyone, and the tables are cute with live music sometimes and events in the area. It's Detroit style pizza, so it's square pizza with a thick dough and really flavorful sauce with whatever toppings you want! They do offer gluten free/vegan options, but they ran out while we were there, so if you're gluten free/vegan make sure you call ahead and they can make sure to save it for you!!

Wow the pizza here is amazing! I ordered a personal pizza with sausage and pineapples on top (it might be controversial, but I like pineapples on my pizza). Price wise, I wasn't a fan of paying $13+ for a personal pizza, but it was easily one of the best pizzas I've had! It's not the prettiest pizza but the crust is amazing. The portion sizes are large. One personal pizza was 2 meals for me. I really like the ambiance of this area. You order inside at the restaurant and sit outside at the picnic tables to wait for them to call your name over the microphone. They sometimes have live music playing on stage and a few booths selling their products. Since it's mainly outdoors, it would be a good idea to check the weather before heading over. I also like how there are other restaurant options in the same area so if someone in your group isn't feeling pizza that day, there are other options to choose from. Overall, I'd recommend this place to all the pizza lovers!

Best pizza in Gville! And they have gf and dairy free options. We always stop when we're in town.

So delicious!! I was initially wary about spending $11 on a plain cheese personal pizza (+1$ per topping) but the taste, texture, and overall experience made it worth it! I split a pizza with my boyfriend (mistakes were made.... I should have gotten my own..) and we added pepperoni and pineapples to it. I love the crispy edges of the sides & the pizza sauce was on top (instead of between the dough and cheese). They have picnic tables where you can eat outside if you can't wait to get home and devour the pizza. Definitely worth trying!

So good they turned this pizza hater into a pizza lover. In fact, I went twice in one trip! Have been craving the hot honey ever since. Great quality ranch for dipping, too! Such a cute seating area with picnic tables under the trees, with a bonus charming local band.

What an incredible find this authentic Detroit pizza is. The toppings were fresh and delicious. I only wish they had a location in Jacksonville and will be sure to stop back in anytime I'm in Gainesville. I highly recommend this authentic Detroit style pizza when in Gainesville!

We love going to Satchel's for pizza whenever we visit Gainesville, so when our kids suggested Satch Squared for brunch, we were all in. We shared a breakfast pizza that had scrambled eggs on top of the crust and we added onions, mushrooms, and vegetarian sausage. It was plenty of food for both of us. Our kids got a Motor City which had double pepperoni and hit honey. We sat outside and enjoyed the art and live music.

I found this place from a friend! The atmosphere outside is so cool!!! I love the weird decorations and the bus you can sit in outside. The food is a little pricey...for pizza But it tasted yummy! They offer gluten free, which was a must for my friend. The service was not great...Just some teenagers not very happy about being there. Typical. Overall I will come back and bring some friends for the ambiance! I want to try the waffles they have next.

I was at 4th Ave Food Park and decided to try Satch Squared. They have Detroit style pizza and waffles. It was still morning time, so I decided to get the breakfast pizza. This comes with eggs, cheese, sauce or syrup, and protein. I got eggs, cheddar, tomato sauce and tempeh. The cost was about $14. For the portion size and taste, I think this was too much. I wish the sauce had a bit more flavor, as well as the tempeh. If I ever decided to get a breakfast pizza again, I think I'll try it with syrup instead.

A beautiful addition to Gainesville that provides that Detroit style pizza itch that you've been craving for. The pizza had a great structure to it where it could hold all the sauce without being soggy and floppy! The very thin but confident waffle was a pleasant change compared to normal diner waffles. Highly recommend you get this unique Gainesville taste!

Absolutely delicious pizza. Wacky pizza shop aesthetic. Cool outdoor seating area. Fun and interesting gift shop too!

Great pizza and location. They only have outdoor seating at 4th Ave Food Park, which is especially nice when the weather gets cooler. I ordered a pizza with red peppers, mushrooms, and sausage. My friend ordered one with pineapples, onions, and garlic. I usually go for pizzas with a thinner crust, but Satch Squared exceeded my expectations with their Detroit-style pizza. They have a wide range of options for toppings, which is nice. I wasn't a big fan of the price, but the portion size was large for me, and I was able to split it into 2 meals.

Love Square House! Best pizza in town! Their specialty pizzas are interesting and the hot honey is a must! Order a few for your group and have them slice them in 1/8s so everyone can sample!
