We go at least once every football season, now that Original Pizza Palace has closed back up, it's the best pizza in Gainesville - yes, it's very eclectic and bohemian.

Holy cow, it is the wildest restaurant I have ever been to. For anyone that has been to My Blue Heaven in Key West, picture that, but make it more bizarre. I mean, they have giant wind chimes made out of hub caps. We ate our pizza in an abandoned Chevy Van that had been decorated with Christmas lights. This review gives a good flavor of the place: http://www.insideflorida.com/detail/satchels-pizza/ It is a must visit while in Gainesville. Fair warning, we had almost an hour wait for a table - during the summer! I can only imagine what it is like when school is in session. My recommendation - call ahead for a to go pizza. There are more tables than there is waiter service, so many of the tables are reserved for take out orders. There is a nice open air pavilion in the rear that features live music, is all "to go" tables and has a guy in the corner who sells sodas and beers. That makes more sense than waiting for a table and missing out on the live music. Granted, you need to bus your own table when you are done, but that's not such a big deal. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
