    Tried this place because of the reviews received. Place was busy but we were seated in about 15 minutes. Ordered drinks and pizza at the same time. The food took awhile and the watress apologized a couple of times. However, people seated later were getting their food. Ours came and it was burnt. We tried to salvage what we could instead of waiting another 30 minutes or so. We were never asked if everything was ok as she did other tables. Terrible pizza and service. See photo.

    So good we had to go twice! My wife and I were down in Key West with family for a vacation. We love Italian food and this place was super close to our rental. Wow, were we lucky! The service was awesome. Our waitress was super friendly and was happy to give recommendations. Our pizza was great and I loved our Italian grinder sub. The second time we went was great too. My wife loves thicker crust and got their version of deep dish. Not Chicago deep dish but still very good. I also loved their spaghetti. The sauce had pork in it just like how my mom makes it. Wish we could go every week!

    Read some good reviews and being dog friendly decided to give them a try. The hostess was prompt to seat us and liked Spike. The service was fast and made a great Arnold Palmer for Debra. The pizza was good, but just a bit on the cold side. Glad we tried it, just not sure we will be back again. The are so many great restaurants in the lower keys and only 50 days to try them out for us this trip.

    Pleasant dining experience. There was a bit of a wait, but the bar opened up and he quickly claimed two seats. The bartender was fun and friendly and on top of her game. We got bruschetta for an appetizer and the bread was out of this world. Altogether it was delicious of course. We split gnocchi and a pizza - both of which were delicious.

    One of our favorite places in Key West (actually Stock Island). Great brick oven pizza with quality fresh ingredients. Everyday there is a special and Sunday is our favorite, they call it family gravy night, and they serve really delicious spaghetti. You can get it family style and share, as many do. Great drink selection and other items on the menu including some seafood selections and salads. Nice ambience, dependable service, clean restrooms, adequate parking (rare). Always a hit when we bring guests there. Never been disappointed on any visit here.

    This is our first time at this restaurant, we ordered key west pink shrimp scampi (Tuesday special) and lasagna. OMG both dishes were absolutely delicious. This should be added your must go restaurant list whenever you visit Key West. Jyllian was our server and she was wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is casual and very inviting. For dessert we ordered a Tiramisu and that too was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will come back next time we are in the area.

    The restaurant ruined our vacation . I do not recommend going there unless you want to waste your money and a good time. Denise’s service was the worst of any restaurant we have ever visited. She was very RUDE from the very beginning and even though we were still in the middle of eating, she tried to take our plates down without asking us what we were eating. If you have a mouth on you, you should at least talk , act as a server. The food was very basic, $8 House salad weren’t fresh and some vegetables were damaged, the pizza came out cold, very disappointed it wasn’t worth it . The lady at the front desk was really nice. We tipped her more than our server Danise. Honestly,Danise doesn’t deserve tips.I hope the restaurant will improves customer service but we’ll never go back.

    Came here for a tranquil meal with kiddos. Appetizers where delicious; breadsticks, hot wings, & cheese sticks! Pizza was great, salami was a little spicy for the kiddos. Great atmosphere, chill and rustic.

    This was our second time at this restaurant. We started with the caprese salad. Beautiful presentation. We also ordered the lasagna and lobster tail scalloping with asparagus and homemade mashed potatoes. Delicious!

    We had great service and the food came out fresh and hot! We will be back again.. Sitting on the patio was a great option for talking, the inside was pretty loud.

    Place is great! Service was amazing! The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was the pizza crust was slightly doughy and not as crispy as I like. They provided a sample for happy hour which was delicious.

    We sat in the bar area so we could watch the chefs prepare pizzas, sandwiches, and other Italian fare. We split a house salad, meatball and ricotta pizza, and a slice of key lime pie. Everything was awesome! Including the cold beer.

    So we tried calling in an order and couldn’t get through… they called us back and apologized for their line being busy!! We placed our order and it was ready in 20 minutes!! The food was absolutely delicious and customer service was out of this world!! I would take have taken a picture of our wonderful pizza , meatball sliders and penne a la vodka with shrimp and salads but buy the time I finished this review… the food disappeared 🇮🇹❤️

    The food is awesome! I love their pizza's and the HH food is great too! Depending on your server, the service is good, too! They get very busy, so pack your patience because the food is worth it!

    Was a great experience. Woosfire pizza was just fabulous, best in the keys. !! Loved the garden atmosphere, so charming. Our waitress the best. Can't wait to return.

    From atmosphere to aroma, this spot has always been a favorite of mine. The barrata started the meal off fantastically, and it really opened the rest of the meal up for an adventure for taste. Quattri formaggi along with the diavola pizzas satiated the meal perfectly. Finally a shrimp penne alla vodka added sweetness that equally balanced it’s spice. looking forward to coming back! I love stock Island

    Excellent food and outside atmosphere. Started with a Ceasar salad and wings. Then had the eggplant stack and roostica pizza. Really good.

  • 5/5 Margarita S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in all Key West. A great place to go for lunch or dinner. We also have to state their salads are also fantastic. Very fresh, crisp and the dressing is great. Full bar with great options. A place I never miss visiting when I’m in the Keys.

    Best Gluten Free pizza. Period. Fresh dough homemade in resteraunt. The owners are great and so are the managers. Friendly Keys Family setting. Family owned. Always clean always great a great atmosphere. Wouldn't go anywhere else in Key West for wood oven pizza at its finest.

    A dear friend brought me to this amazing place for lunch. THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IVE EVER EATEN. You could taste the butter in the Alfredo sauce. The saffron rice sliders/balls in homemade marinara sauce. But you have to absolutely try the tiramisu homemade ladyfingers, the custard is smooth and very creamy, they infused the mascarpone with espresso And Godiva chocolate syrup... this is what dessert dreams are made of

    Visiting Key West? Do yourself a favor and eat at Roostica! Our family of five enjoyed every single thing we tried. We enjoyed the covered outdoor dining with ample room and fans to move the air. Jennifer was our server and was fantastic. Also, best key lime pie, EVER.

    We decided to visit this unique pizza place since was referred by our campground manager and we were not disappointed.. having a whole week of seafood my husband wanted something else and being so close to where we were staying we gave it a shot. In a great atmosphere, low music volume for a nice ambience. Family oriented with a variety of sites inside/outside. This place is every day busy but still found a parking spot at evening time. We chose the meatball & ricotta in the Sicilian deep dish bread crust. Waitress was very attentive, and pizza came right off the oven in less than 12 minutes wait while having a zinfandel wine. This is way amazing pizza without the bad sauce canned. The homemade manzano sauce… Love it.. we will for sure be back next week.
