“School.” A place to linger, to read, to learn something new — and, in our case, to keep studying the perfect pizza.

Our Story

From Greece to Gainesville, with four decades at the oven.

When the Sinis family moved to Gainesville from Greece, they brought more than forty years of restaurant experience — and an idea. They wanted a place where the ambiance was as unique as the food: European in spirit, Mediterranean at heart, and reminiscent of a bygone era.

So they filled the shelves with literature, a few minutes down the road from one of America’s finest universities, and invited guests to read and relax as they dine. The quest for the perfect pizza never ends — that’s why the family has spent four decades improving its fresh homemade dough, quality toppings and specialty pizza sauce, while also serving traditional Greek and Italian favorites.

The class bell has rung. Come join us.
