Crispy delicious pizzas by the slice are quite possibly better than pizza served by most pizzerias in New York City. The perfect ratio of cheese and tasty sauce. I only wished I had some olive oil to dip the crusts in. The slice prices are fair. I will be back.

Kevin is the best italian gator employee. He is kind and gives me good advice on which slice to order. He is quick and efficient and always gets my order right. I appreciate his hard work and italian gator is so good!!

I asked for the X-large cheese pie to be well done and it was great, a little bit less sauce would be better, but still that sauce is delicious. The crust was crunchy. There was no flop, the Pizza slice holds very well, and there was no grease. In my opinion this pizza is better than local Piesanos, Pepinos, and Five stars. So far this is the best pizza in Gainesville. One bite everyone knows the rules. 7.7

After big lose close down I tried this place out. He can only get slices or this $30 pie. I had no problem buying a 30 hour pie, it’s just whatever sauce they’re using is like lube like gelatin of some sort. It actually tasted decent, but the 1st bite pulled off the entire topping of the pizza. Took a 30 second video but can only add pics.

Pretty good pizza, and I don’t usually like pizza! we got a pepperoni pizza. The workers were nice, and the wait wasn’t too long. definitely order ahead though, gets busy on the weekends.

Best pizza in town! My dad used to take me here and now I get to take my kids. I love that they have pizza by the slice at a great price (HUGE pieces!), or you can buy a whole pie. The staff is friendly and efficient, parking can be tough since it is right on University, but it is well worth it!

One of only a few traditional New York style pizza joints in town, offering pies that won’t fit in a small car. The only catch is they don’t have standard delivery and access to the place, particularly on the weekends, may sometimes be challenging.
