    Fennel sausage pizza
    Cari A.

    I was in Carlsbad and felt like picking up a pizza. Stumbled upon Roosevelt Pizzeria on Yelp and called in my order for take out. I ordered the fennel sausage pizza, which was ready in about 25 minutes after calling it in. Pros: -good undercarriage -tasty pizza -variety of seating options- indoors, outdoors, and a few bar seats Cons: -none Other: -pizzas are a bit on the smaller side, so you may need to order a few pizzas or sides if you are feeding multiple people. -street parking

    The pizzas

    A pizzeria with not only great pizza, but a menu including salad, soup, and pasta. The food came out quickly and was fresh and tasted amazing. We ordered 2 pizzas, the brussel sprouts, and a cream of asparagus soup. All of it was amazing and well priced. Our server Gabby was attentive and quick and did a wonderful job explaining the menu and daily specials. The ambiance was inviting and I loved the rock stars donning the walls. Will definitely be back and recommend this spot for pizza and more when in Carlsbad.

    Hidden behind another pizza joint, I suggested we eat here instead. I was honestly thinking they would have pizza by the slice, but their way of competing against the many other pizza choices around the village is different. They offer a menu more than just pizza, including pasta, salad, veggie appetizers, and wine. Their pizza is practically a thin crust until you get to the end. It was amazing how perfect the crust was. It wasn't floppy anywhere and had a good chew. It was wonderful to dip into the leftover sauce from the stuffed shells, which was also great on its own. The pronounced lemon in the filling was awesome; I actually liked that it wasn't just a hint of lemon. The ambiance is intimate, but it's nice where we sat in their outdoor area. The service was OK. We weren't greeted when we stepped inside or as we walked up. The server didn't present our food by name, but rather placed it on the table. I don't think they even said, "enjoy". It just wasn't personable for a small local shop. When we left, however, another server who was working inside said bye and thank you. Guess it depends who you get.

    We're staying down the street for the weekend and I was craving pizza. I am so glad I chose this place! The lady at the front who's also the bartender/waitress/hostess was the sweetest! I should have gotten her name but she made this place much better. We ordered the chorizo and a pepperoni. The chorizo was really good, I can't describe it but this place has to be top 3 of best pizza for me! The place itself is in Carlsbad village where there's plenty of street parking. Place was clean and the lady was also so sweet and gave us some water while we waited. Definitely coming back for more pizza when I'm back in town!

    The Ponto Oven Fired Pizza by Roosevelt Pizza of Carlsbad was the real deal with exceptional crust and juicy toppings! Best!

    Friendly locals who live Carlsbad, professional staff and delicious pizza. True Oven Fired Pizza.

    It was AMAZING! Nothing I can't find bad things about this place. Food was great, service was awesome and seating is indoor and outdoor so we can take our dogs. We had Roosevelt Salad. Not too much dressing and amount of salad was big enough. We loved it. We also ordered Margherita Pizza and Cheese Pizza. Both were amazing and I loved Cheese Pizza especially. It was not so too busy on 7/3 around 6p. It's only one street away from the Main Street but I loved this hidden gem. I will definitely come back when we visit Carlsbad next time for sure.

    The best!! It's not soggy it's Neapolitan!!!

FOOD: - hot potatoes: has a pickled radish and some sort of crème sauce that was so good - these were my husband's favorite. - chicken satay: It came with pickled cucumber (think when it's cucumber kimchi, but it wasn't a kimchi type of marinade). The peanut sauce had a little spice (if you don't have any spice tolerance I would avoid the sauce, but it was sooo good). This was my favorite. - khao soi curry (has egg noodles) and that was delicious. We added the brisket to it which was a good add. My husband ate his so fast and I had to make him not take any more so we could have leftovers! DRINKS: - we got complimentary champagne for our anniversary which was so so sweet of them and made our night! The champagne itself was actually one of the best champagnes I have had. It had a nice sweetness to it. - my husband had the thai lager, which he said was okay. It tasted like most lagers he's had. - we shared the tangerine you are my sex machine as it sounded interesting and i do have to say this was the only thing we weren't big fans of. it was very smokey, but my husband put "old boat motor" in my head and that's all we could taste. if you love smokey drinks this would be for you. - I had a house cocktail that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me, but it was sweet, peachy (I think) and had champagne in it from what I remember. It was so good and would get it again! The vibe inside the restaurant was cool and there are over 30 tigers (our server counted for us, but she said she couldn't even find them all). The bathrooms were cute and very clean. 10/10 recommend. The check even came in a romance novel!

I think everything really complimented each other well from the music to the art to the menu, it was great! Our server was nice as we were indecisive with even such a small menu, we had a hard time. The drinks were good and strong, unique and creative. Which I guess when you're going out and want to stay on theme, it works. We had the coconut broth hamachi which was so lip-smackingly addictive with those wonton chips! I would come back just for that dish! The chicken satay skewers were also delicious and the sauce that came with it was a good mix of sweet, savory, spicy and salty. I do think from there it was kind of just okay? I got the half fried chicken which smelled a fish sauce glaze and that's what I went in expecting but there was no punch of that fish sauce flavor you know? It needed a bit more pop. BF got the pork belly banh mi bowl which I guess in theory why would you get that at a Thai place? But the pork belly was hard and firm, not as you'd expect it to be which was dissapointing. Our friends got the Khao Soi which was delicious I do have to say and the Panang with Brisket. I think it was cool to try but im just stuck in my ways and prefer the ole mom and pop down the road with more options. But its fun for a night out!

They had fantastic bartenders and menu, but the speakeasy concept has been outdated for a while. Now, a Honky Tonk is a very different, good thing. The tunes are something North County has been wanting, but been missing in favor of larger venue DJ's, but the juke box here has been curated with classics. It's far too small to dance unless you're slow or maybe 2 stepping in the corner. The ambiance is dim, relaxed, fun. The drinks are just as good as some of the top bars around, helmed by Wyatt who you may remember from Switchboard and KNVS is a staple in Oceanside. Prices are excellent, staff is great. While you can get a cocktail here, you don't have to. A classic shot and a beer is just as likely to be had here as a stemmed glass proper cocktail. When it's jamming it is near a standing room all the way around. No doorman asking for a password, no re-entry on nights when Heritage are open (Monday is this exception).

They have a very unique concept of renewable farming and sustainable gardening. There's plenty of indoor seating (the interior is lovely) and outdoor seating that integrates with the garden.

Their eggplants are in season.

It was topped with a very unique, naturally salty plant called the asparagus of the sea (I've literally never had it anywhere else besides here). I also tried the c word (which is wine braised cabbage), the beet ruben sandwich, and the mushroom toast. Everything was SO GOOD! The service is also on another level. I felt genuine kindness and happiness exuding from the staff. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right. I was a bit sad to see that it wasn't bustling on a Sunday brunch.

First off, they have a "wait to be seated" sign at their entrance, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. When we were inside, we noticed there was another entrance and people were just walking in, so "waiting to be seated" was just an option? We ordered a beer and seltzer and it took easily 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Drinks that were in cans by the way. Music was good, DJs were good, but the whole vibe of the place is kinda everywhere. This lighting in this place needs to be more dimmed. DJs are spinning right in the middle of the room, and there's a clothes rack just chilling against the wall. The baristas are way in the back, and you can't really tell who works there. It took equally as long to get the check as it did to get my drinks. We only had 1 round of drinks. I dunno, waiting for canned drinks just threw me off. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken to get a mixed cocktail. I only saw one guy mixing drinks and a bunch of women just hanging around. I'm assuming workers that look like they don't work there.
