Every time we head down to Mexico, we make a point to stop at Ollie's Pizza in Rosarito. it's truly…read moreone of our favorite spots anywhere. It might sound odd to say you're going to Mexico for authentic Italian food, but this is the place. Everything is delicious, fresh, and full of love.
We always start with the Caprese salad. Then we share a pizza (always thin, crispy, and flavorful) and sometimes a pasta dish. A glass of wine completes the meal and sets the perfect tone for the rest of the drive.
What really makes Ollie's special is the heart behind it all. The owner named the place after his beloved dog, Ollie. When Ollie passed away, he got another dog and gave it the same name. so "Ollie" has always been there, welcoming us back each time like an old friend.
Also, I usually have a thing about bathrooms (I'm picky!), but this one is super clean , which I really appreciate.
Friendly service, great food, and a story that sticks with you. Ollie's is a Rosarito must.
As a sidenote : this place is only open in the late afternoons and evenings. It's walking distance from Las Gaviotas , which I know is a very popular place for Americans to visit.
