We love the original Gaines Street Pies but this location has the exact same ingredients and quality. Same menu same flavor. Zoe the server/bartender is wonderful. Draft beer available. Small interior seating with patio as well. Fast service, cold drinks, fresh food. If this is your closest pizza spot you should be a regular.

Super relaxed and chill vibe/setting. Good music, comic with hero/villain theme was nice. Friendly atmosphere and connected to a whiskey bar. Tasty pizza

Definitely the best pizza in town if you like NY Pizza. I always ask for it well done. It is so good! Also, the lunch special is 2 slices and a drink for 8 including tax.

Best pizza spot in Tallahassee hands down. The pizza is fresh, handmade, and packed with flavor. The Saucy Minx pizza is my go-to perfectly balanced, saucy in the best way, and loaded with quality toppings. The bread knots are another must-order, super soft with just the right amount of garlic and seasoning. The service here is always on point. The staff is friendly, laid-back, and makes you feel welcome whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. The atmosphere has that cool, casual vibe that fits perfectly with the Gaines Street energy fun, a little funky, and full of personality. If you’re looking for the best pizza experience in Tallahassee, this is the spot.

I stopped here on my way to the airport because I was craving pizza. I’m so glad I stopped! I got the special with two pizzas and a drink. I ordered both the pepperoni and the sausage. They were SO good, hot, and delicious. I’ll definitely stop back there the next time I’m in Tallahassee!

Great place for a good pizza. Service was quick and courteous. Our order was quick and hot. We will stop by when we are in the area.

The vegan pizza was delicious. I enjoyed all the veggies and the cheese itself was wonderful. Coming from Miami, I had no real expectations of how great the pizza would be. Gaines Street Pies exceeded my expectations, I’ll recommend to any fellow vegetarian & vegan to come here.

Okay, the best things about pizza is the crust and quality ingredients. This place has both. This is my first visit at this location but I've tried their other locations. I've never left disappointed and I'm so glad they open this location which is much closer to home. I can foresee many stops at this place before heading home. Today's visit was Friday lunch with my husband. We walked in there at 12:15 and the place wasn't too busy but quite a few take outs and a Bite Squad driver waiting for his deliveries. Employees were friendly and helpful. What did I have today? 14" pizza with two toppings - Italian sausage and mushrooms. I had coupon from Minute Magazine so I got the pizza with two drinks for 15. They also run lunch specials with no coupons needed. Pretty good deal. I need to come back to try other toppings combinations. Since it was lunch, I did not try any of the wide selection of beer they offer here. Maybe for dinner one day. They offer many craft beers and wine. Definitely a fun place to go hang out with friends or family.
