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

    Great thin pizza! They have your pizza order on file and just ask if you would like the same one…read more(and repeat what it was). Definitely recommend

    This particular location of Marco's Pizza is overall a good location with a friendly staff and if…read moreyou are unfamiliar with Marco's Pizza, while they are a national pizza chain (which I often compare to a fast-food version of pizza), they are pretty good. 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.
