    a half eaten sandwich
    Todd D.

    Kelsey's Pizzeria, 1954 U.S. 1 Rockledge, Florida 32955- 1-Star (Chain Restaurant Rating) The original Kelsey's Pizzeria & Eatery was founded in 1983 in Titusville by a local guy, Nick, as a small local family business. Having considerable success, he franchised a few other Kelsey's throughout North Brevard. This particular franchisee on US-1 in Rockledge has a second on North Courteney Parkway in Merritt Island according to its website. Additionally, you can find a couple of other Kelsey's in Port St. John, and Cape Canaveral, if you are so inclined to check them out. Assuming they are like this one, I'm not. How many different boxes of pasta and pizza dough exist through purveyors? Countless, I'm sure. It's always the same. Most likely the least expensive. Hence the reason Italian restaurants become more and more tedious. No one makes their own dough and lets it rise overnight anymore. I don't care what anyone tells you. Fresh homemade risen dough would cut into the margin, meanwhile pizza remains the highest profit food item in the world next to bottled water. Many a stoner and those among the zaftig couch-potato set will tell you that all pizza is good pizza as long as it's smothered in cheese and pepperoni and delivered to their face. Not for this guy. At the Rockledge location, we were met by a pleasant server named Hayley who got all my inside comments. Something I often find lacking in a waiter. As usual, however, despite a direct request to box up my leftovers, she declined. So, I asked her who typically boxes up the take-out orders. She confessed, well...her. Yeah. Not the greatest of all time. The menu here was not diverse, just your typical Americanized pseudo-Italian fare. I ordered my baseline Fettuccine Alfredo, my point of comparison for evaluating the level of any ristorante's pasta game. Kelsey's fettuccine compared poorly. It literally had zero taste. Not even the creamy taste typically associated with Alfredo sauce. Alfredo di Lelio, owner of Alfredo on Via della Scrofa in Rome, who lovingly invented this dish of fresh-egg fettuccine with butter and parmesan--Fettuccine all'Alfredo--to nourish his pregnant wife in 1907, would be rolling in his grave. My second choice from the menu was a meat calzone with sausage, pepperoni, and ham. It was a dismal wreck of food. The calzone bread was the Sysco pre-rolled ball one thaws out and massages. The ingredients would have to have been stepped up to even be considered crappy. The Big Boy says, "Between ugh service and low-grade ingredients there are SO many better pizza options in Brevard. Skip the Kelsey's in Rockledge."

    I suffered this so you don't have to. For $7.50 they took A store bought baguette Soaked it in oil and salt Threw cheese sliced on top Heated it. Terrible by any measure.

    Pepperoni, and Kelsey's Deluxe, and Greek Salad for 2!

    Kelsey's pizza and Italian food is a pretty good local spot for some good food. We mostly do take out, and the service is very quick.

    I also got a mini salad which was big enough to fill me up before I even started on the calzone.

Something must have happened lately. Last night, my husband and I went there for our weekly date night. We were excited to enjoy some wine and good Italian food. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. None of the waitresses smiled or greeted us warmly. Instead, we felt like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. The waitress came to our table with no smile or greeting and immediately asked what we wanted to drink. My husband ordered a half carafe of red wine, and she brought only one wine glass. It seemed odd, as if it was assumed I would need to order my own wine rather than share with my husband. I ordered the Pasta Calamari, and my husband ordered a large two-topping pizza. A few minutes later, she brought my salad and only one plate for the pizza, as if my husband and I were two separate parties rather than a couple dining together. As we waited, we noticed that two other tables that were seated after us received their food before us. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, we still had no food, no bread that should have come with my entrée, and no updates from the waitress about our order. Finally, my husband got the waitress's attention and asked about the bread. She said they hadn't made it yet but would bring it later. She also told us that an 18-inch pizza is not easy to make and that was why other people were getting their pizzas before us. Later, the manager came over and told us that he dropped our pizza, and it had to be remade. The problem wasn't just the delay--it was the complete lack of communication. Our waitress never updated us, never checked on our order, did not bring hot bread or make our wait any easier, and never seemed concerned about how long we had been waiting. When the food finally arrived, so did the bread and my Pasta Calamari. By then, we had lost our appetite. The pasta with red sauce was not visually appealing, and there was very little visible calamari. We decided to leave disappointed. Compared to our previous visits, the prices have increased noticeably, while the food quality, service, and overall atmosphere have declined. It felt like a completely different restaurant from the one we used to enjoy. Sadly, this sounds like what happens when owners stop focusing on good service and quality food. Restaurants that go down this path often end up closing. It is very sad because this used to be one of our favorite places.

Marco's Pizza got its start in Oregon, Ohio back in 1978 and in the decades since, Marco's Pizza has grown to over one thousand locations since then. That in itself is pretty impressive. Think about it, when Marco's Pizza first opened, disco and punk rock were new musical styles and "National Lampoon's Animal House" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" were new movies in the theaters. I bring this up so you can realize how long Marco's Pizza has been around. They definitely have some history. As I said, Marco's Pizza is a national pizza chain and compared to other national pizza chains, Marco's Pizza is definitely enjoyable. If you are craving pizza and you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this particular location of Marco's Pizza. People have been enjoying this pizza back when disco balls were the ambiance in nightclubs and people were laughing at John Belushi was making us laugh and Steven Spielberg had us looking to the heavens in a different way. They have quite a bit of history, so they must be doing something right.
