Main Street Pie

Ordered a 14′ pizza with cheese sticks services was friendly the inside of restaurant was laid back and clean. I was not impressed with the cheese sticks they seemed like they where once frozen and then heated up to serve. The pizza was thick and full had plenty of cheese we ordered a 14′ thick crust pizza and looked great but then came the part when you take that first bite and realize for the price they charge for a pizza I could have had a DiGiorne and saved a bunch of money and get the same taste! Sorry guys your pizza is lacking in the sauce and the crust had good texture but lacked in any flavor.

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve looked across the street and said we needed to try Main Street Pie Co «one of these days». We finally got around to it today, and it was excellent!
The Caesar salad was very good… the large was more than enough for two. We had a regular-​crust pizza that was delicious; not ridiculously salty like a lot of other places. Anyway, we kept it simple today, but everything was spot-​on.
Friendly service. Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Nothing fancy, just a nice family joint.
Payment is cash-​only, but they have an ATM at the register that didn’t charge a fee… so only a minor inconvenience.
We’ll be back.

Absolutely amazing pizza! Traveling thru and stopped by starving. Regular crust pepperoni and loaded tater specialty pizza did not disappoint. We only wish they were open Sunday when we travel back thru. Staff/​owner were delightful and a joy to visit with. Looking forward to the sweet treats we picked up for later.

Five of us stopped in and 4 of 5 decided to get pizza without dough. The owner was very nice and helpful.
The sauce and meat was great and worth the short drive from the interstate!
Take notice of their hours– they close after lunch and reopen for supper!

nice quiet town atmosphere.
This pizza was unique– very sweet.
Liked it a lot!!! Will return for sure!

First time here. Really nice little place. Great pizza, made with fresh and yummy ingredients and care. Good service, too. Glad we found it. We’ll be back!

Ordered a 12′ half with pineapples and ham– the other half with onions and mushrooms. It was fast and tasty.

I love this place! They make great pizza, which they load with cheese and toppings. The family that owns it are always friendly and engaging. I have eaten here many times and am never disappointed. They lose a star for not accepting credit/​debit cards. Yes they have an ATM in house, but I don’t want to have to pay ATM fees just to buy dinner. Mark up the pizzas a few cents for the convenience of your customers.

Wonderful service, delicious pizza, adorable ambiance and adjoining store. The owner couldn’t have been friendlier. Loved the pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza. On the cutest town main street!

Today I had a delightful afternoon that could’ve been truly awful. I dropped my car off to get some maintenance before doing the long drive home at an awesome mechanic shop in Alachua called Gator Muffler and Complete Care. As usual, they took great care of my vehicle: timely, friendly, cost effective and most importantly, never do they try to convince me I need more work done because I am a young, fairly car-​ignorant female.
However, I had several things for them to work on so for the few hours they needed my car for, I walked a short distance to Main Street to get a bite to eat and read. But was then waylaid by the afternoon FL thunderstorms.
I chose Main Street Pie Co. Being a fan of small town eateries, I expected the good, inexpensive food and friendly service. What I did not expect was the warm-​hearted, above and beyond behavior of the owner, her daughter, and the other waitress.
Not only were they nonjudgmental of my desire for three salad dressings (so I could try them), ordering two desserts, and Star Wars reading material, but once they realized that I was semi-​trapped at the establishment for hours due to the torrential down pour, they offered to give me a ride multiple times and ultimately let me borrow an umbrella.
I was not the only one who was treated this way either, they talked at length with an older gentleman dining alone, and gave an out of town family all the local tips to the springs/​tubing/​dining/​shopping and more.
Normally I would simply give them more business, but I’m going home soon. These people deserve your money, go support local Alachua businesses and get a homemade cupcake or calzone.
Also, they only take cash but they have a charge-​free atm onsite.

Absolutely wonderful! The pizza is excellent, the staff is very friendly and upbeat, and the dessert is to die for! My husband and I have actually gone there JUST for the dessert before. The owner makes amazing cupcakes among the other selections on the menu.

After having the pizza from Main Street Pie, I can’t really enjoy Pizza Hut or Papa John’s anymore! They now pale in comparison. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the thick crust meatball pizza. Amazing!

Very delicious! The owner is extremely personable. I’ve been there a few times and she’s remembered us. She has random gifts made for the children… She gave our baby a bib that says «born to eat at main st. Pie.» I love the fact that it’s like eating great food at home. The style is sort of a country eclectic, you just come in and pick the dining table of your choice. The food, decaf sweet tea (who woulda thought), and service is great!

Love the calzones and of course ooey gooey cakes! Great place, great family, great food!

Real friendly great thin pie. Price was very reasonable. Cozy great place.

Friendly family service and awesome pizza! Whenever we are close enough to Alachua we stop by for some pizza. These things come loaded with your favorite toppings, I get the supreme and it always comes out looking like a pizza work of art.

(Act One)
Friends of Mine: Hey April, we’re coming over tonight.
Me: Okay.
FOM: Should we eat before we come?
Me: … oh … hey, what about pizza?
FOM: Oh, we like pizza!
(Act Two)
Me, Coworker: (staring at half-​cheese, half-​sausage pizza) Holy crap.
(Act Three)
Husband: You didn’t buy two?
Me: Trust me, no one’s gonna need it.
(Pizza comes out of oven, beaming like a small star. Everyone’s jaw drops. Slow transfer to a fresh plate, set gently in the middle of the table. I turn around to get my camera.)
Me: Okay, let me get a pi–
(Pizza has been snatched up. People are in the middle of devouring.)
Me: What the HELL.
Later on my friends confessed that they figured I would be getting something like Pizza Hut, so when they saw a good pizza, they lost all control. I smacked them both soundly and told them never to ruin my photo ops again. (Not really.) So for $ 16, everyone was fat and happy, and they began scheming a plan to get out to Alachua and eat there in person. Yay! I love plays with happy endings.

Not sure what pizzeria Anna B. ate at, but I frequent Main Street a lot and they have the best service and food in the area. Friendly staff, very friendly oriented.
Judging by Anna’s other reviews, she is either a 12 year old who likes to cuss while her parents aren’t around or she has not idea what a good critic is.
If you’re going to critique a place, at least make it a review that people can learn from. You’re a great cook? I bet… obviously, you have the imagination of an infant with the mouth of a sailor, so I don’t put much faith in your own cooking, considering your mouth is trash.

I’ ve eaten at a lot of pizza establishments and this place is exceptional. The ingredients are fresh and the atmosphere is family oriented as is the business. They have the BEST catalina dressing that is made on-​site.

Hands down my favorite pie north of Ocala and south of Jacksonville!
They use excellent cheese & good pepperoni; despite being the king of pizza in the Gainesville/​Alachua/​Micanopy area it is not without its flaws.
First the sauce is canned, which should not be the kiss of death in and of itself, but without augmentation or the addition of much needed sugar the sauce is too far into the acidic side.
The greater sin, however, is the fact that the pies are started in the oven on a wire mesh grate! When I inquired as to the possibility of having the pizza hit the oven directly on the stone they said it could not be done. Although this seems like a minor detail I assure you that the resulting crust is far superior sans grate; and it’s the details that separate higher starred establishments from lesser ones.
With the addition of a little sweetener to the sauce and either hiring a more experienced pizzaiolo or retraining the current one to not use grates this place would have 5 stars!
