The Great Baja Pizza Debate – Ollie’s Woodfire Pizza – Rosarito Beach

  • The Great Baja Pizza Debate – Ollie’s Woodfire Pizza – Rosarito Beach

    There is certainly no shortage of pizza in Mexico. However, there is a huge shortage of GOOD PIZZA in Mexico. At the center of one of the great debates in Rosarito Beach, “Who has the best pizza”, you will almost always hear Ollie’s Pizza thrown into the ballot box.

    Ollie’s has been serving up delicious woodfire pizza in South Rosarito Beach for the last 10+ years.

    Ollie’s has a philosophy of KISS – Keep It Simple & Stupid. They do pizza, salad, desert and booze… not 12 pages of things to decide between. They focus heavily on freshness and consistency and you almost feel like a member of the family.

    Today I meet up with Head Dough Whisperer, Alvaro, and I get trained on how to make their signature sausage & onion pizza. I even got to make my own and throw the dough in the air (without f’ing it up). Then we sit down with the General Jefe, Alonzo, and get the real scoop on the history and reason for success at Ollie’s Pizza.

    When you make it to Rosarito, and get a hankering for something other than tacos, I definitely recommend hitting up Ollie’s for some delicious woodfire pizza, salads, drinks and one of the best hidden wine selections in Northern Baja. Oh, and I didn’t get it in the video, but you gotta try their Nutella desert bread… OMG!!!

    Looks amazing! Back 15 years ago when we lived in Rosarito there was just OK pizza – nothing really great. Looks like that has changed…

      The pizza game has definitely been stepped up a little in Rosarito.

    Some friends took us there our last trip to Rosarito and yes, it was excellent! Although we don’t typically go to Baja looking for good pizza.

    I love a good pizza but don’t believe I ever had a pizza in Baja. Too many other good things to eat that we just can’t get back home.
