My favorite pizza ever is the lobster pizza with the black savory sauce. Does anyone know what's in it? I was told chile morita, but there's certainly more to it! Together, this combo is the best ever. The lobster pizza certainly is not cheap but it's so worth it as a splurge meal. read more

Roots - Lobster pizza - Pizza Near Me - Holbox, ROO

We've been to Holbox 3 times now and we always make a point to come here because I've dreamt about their lobster pizza from the first time I ever had it. The quality has definitely gone from amazing to bad. I have photos of the pizza from our first time here in 2020 and 2023 and compared it to the most recent experience in March 2026, and it is night and day. Not sure if this place has gone through management change or simply cheapened their ingredients, but it is definitely not the same. Sadly, we won't be coming back here. Overpriced lobster pizza. Don't bother. read more

Roots was our first stop upon arriving in Holbox & it did not fall short of expectations. I have had pizza all over the world and couldn't understand why all the fuss about pizza made here, but now I do get it. The pizzas cooked in their fires wood oven with one of the most perfectly cooked crusts was better than most places in the U.S. We got the guacamole to start and the three salsas that came with it were flavorful & complimented the guacamole perfectly. My favorite was the spicy oil! The open air courtyard was very cozy and the lady singing provided the perfect ambiance. Our server was friendly and always quick to refill our drinks. My only regret was not getting the lobster pizza (we plan to go back!). read more

This restaurant spot on the island is awesome. I was definitely skeptical about a pizza spot on the island and it being good, but this place definitely delivered. They have a ton of pizza options on the menu but like most, we had to try the lobster pizza. It isn't cheap, but it's also not small and should fill you and one other up, unless you are super hungry. It is definitely a different take than what you have had before, and they do a really good job with it Strongly recommend eating the pizza with the sauces (my favorite was the olive oil of the habanero salsa) We also were able to enjoy live music and great drinks while waiting for our pizza. They also had a bartender competition which was pretty neat to watch from afar. Definitely recommend checking this place out of you are on the island. read more

Good thin crust pizza cooked in a wood fire oven. Did not try the lobster pizza due to the high price (seems to have increased to approximately 700 pesos since the most recent review regarding the price) but the ham, pineapple, and chistorra pizza was tasty. Otherwise food and drink prices were reasonable. A live band set up around 8 pm. The space is huge but all outdoor seating so not great place to go during the rainy season. Service was very friendly. read more

Delicious pizza!! We didn't get to try the lobster pizza but will when we're back in Holbox! We went right when they opened- before we, sadly, had to check out and leave the island. We meant to order a pizza and a salad but due to the language barrier we ended up with two big pizzas, which was totally fine because they were delicious; so delicious that we traveled out of Holbox & on the ferry to drive to PDC and enjoy the leftovers for dinner! We had a Hawaiian style and a blue cheese/portobello mushroom... YUM. This place was really affordable and service was great! read more

I was recommended to go to Roots for the best pizza in Holbox and it was. We went Sunday and listened to one of the best cover musicians you could listen to in town! Julio Isa a musician from Argentina living in Holbox performed that night. It was fantastic!!!! Listen to him in Spotify and Apple Music and ask for a portabello mushroom and blue cheese pizza in Roots, it is even better than the lobster one which is also great but more expensive. The beer was very cold, service was super friendly and the place is really beautiful! Go and enjoy! You will be lucky if Julio is there playing! read more

This was very good. We kept it simple and got the lobster pizza and the poblana pizza. The lobster pizza is obviously the famous dish here (and on the island more generally), but we both actually preferred the poblana, which had chicken, onion, and a really great mole sauce. It also went really well with their mulato chili salsa, which was outstanding. It was a really long wait for a table (and for our pies once we sat down), but I'm glad we stayed. read more

For me, the best place we ate on Isla Holbox, and who knew rock lobster on pizza could actually work? But it was also the scene of the most brazen lie I've ever been told by a waitstaff. Read on, friends. First off this tree canopied outdoor biergarten/reggae bar/ pizzeria must be making a fortune, it's festive and fun and there are giant round communal tables and live music( when we were there the guys were bad and played really corny tunes, note to any buskers looking for an adventure) and they have a world class wood fire pizza oven and just pump out surprisingly delicious paper thin pizzas. Crispy and chewy, great flavors, and from what I tasted they used good ingredients. But their specialty is the lobster pizza. Now, I am a New Englander and a seafood and pizza expert, and those two things don't normally work together. Except for anchovies (which I love) Wolfgang Puck's smoked salmon and caviar pizza, and the various famous clam pies that exist, I cannot think of another seafood on pizza combination. Until now. They serve the pizza with mozzarella cheese, red sauce, thin sliced tomatoes and delicious rock lobster all over the pie. For show they throw a grilled tail in the shell right on top in the center. It's phenomenal. The lobster on the pizza just worked. They're not cheap, they're pricy, but I loved em. As for the joint the canopy of fauna sort of created a greenhouse effect and it was kind of hot and stuffy at our tables. The service was lousy but your on a friggin island in the middle of the yucatan peninsula, you gotta deal with it. Clean bathroom, fairly good vibes. So...we liked it so much we went again for our last dinner, this time with another couple. We inhaled 2 lobster pizzas and decided to wash em down with a 3rd. Waiter took the order, then came back and said they ran outta lobster. What?? Huh? You're kidding. On the way out I asked the guys manning the pizza oven if they ran outta lobster and they answered "no". Mon dieu!!! A prevarication! Outrageous! These fuckers capped our lobster pizza quota at 2. These motherfuckers. We broke their balls then left. They could have been truthful I guess. Being lied to was unexpected, being lied to about a lobster pizza quota was uniquely annoying. They get 4 stars because you should go have their lobster pizza. If I had any brains I'd bring these pizzas to a place near you lickety split. read more

Roots - Pizza and drinks. - Pizza Near Me - Holbox, ROO

We had heard a lot of positive things about Roots (and their lobster pizza). They were very packed when we arrived. We had a hostess, Maria, who sat us after an hour (we were given a wait time of 20 minutes). After being seated, we flagged down Maria who was our unofficial server as no servers were available for our table. Our orders went mostly unfulfilled for 20-30 minutes, as it seemed they were busy and understaffed, and we had to flag down other servers to try and get food. The atmosphere is wonderful and, perhaps, Roots offers great service to others. When we came, they were too busy to offer good service. The restaurant was nearly empty by the time we received our lobster pizza (many other tables had eaten and paid though they were sat afterwards). The pizza was delicious. However, given the very long wait and terrible (basically non existent service), we all felt compelled to leave a negative review. We hope they offer much better service to others. Our experience, however, was very disappointing. read more

SO. GOOD. hubs and i decided to pick up a pizza to go and i just had to go with the lobster pizza bc where else can you get lobster pizza in the world (perhaps asia)?! we really didn't know what to expect from a "lobster pizza" bit it's basically a margherita pizza generously topped with chopped lobster. divine. all pizzas are made fresh at roots and they are a well-oiled machine! we rode our bikes back to our resort and ate the entire pizza down solid. they had live music at the restaurant when we were there, very cool band, full bar, and atmosphere. do remember to mosquito-proof yourself ;) read more

Pizza was delicious and live music vibes were great! Service was extremely slow, was never offered another drink or anything except for when we ordered the pizza. Took 30+ minutes to get the pizza but flavor was great! Would go again but take the pizza to go and eat it on the beach! read more

Best pizza place in the area...hands down don't miss the opportunity to order lobster pizza during its season. I cannot express how delicious it was to eat this amazing pizza is comparable to Italian pizza. I tried two other pizzas in the menu it was amazing who knew shrimp or lobster would taste amazing on a pizza. This place takes visa, MasterCard or cash also is walking distance from the downtown. read more

Pretty average pizza for the hype it gets, was recommended by several people. Lobster pizza was ok but not great, Hawaiian pizza was decent and pasta was what you'd expect from a school cafeteria. Service was fast when we arrived but after we got our food was non existent. Huge rain storm came through and we stayed dry, staff did everything they could to keep everyone dry. Would I go back? Yes but with much lower expectations. read more

What can I said ... people make lines for 30 or 40 min Pizza with lobster just fine Service was ok ( new server ) slow Pasta with shrimp ok ... Salad good Pasta bolognese good Not water to flash the toilet I will come back no way Music very nice and the place is beautiful read more

Lovely ambiance, secluded off the Main Street, generous amounts of lobster on the pizza.

Best Lobster pizza on Holbox!! I knew Holbox was known for their Lobster pizza and I had to try one, a day before I had tried pizza at another little place on Holbox Island so I was a bit skeptical about coming here and not liking it. I couldn't leave Holbox without trying their Lobster pizza and I decided to come here! I couldn't have been more Satisfied!! The Lobster pizza is DELICIOUS, we also got one with Chistorra & Han & pineapple and that was also SCRUMPTIOUS. As in any pizza place we asked for red pepper chilly flakes and they said they did not carry that but had a tray of 3 spicy sauces... I was hesitant but I must admit of the 3 choices the Habanero was GREAT, not so spicy but added the perfect heat to my pizza! A+++ on those habaneros!! Don't leave without trying them!! The service wasn't amazing but the pizza flavor made up for it! The agua de piña was good, the mango water drink was not that great. read more

So we came here for the Lobster Pizza of course and after our first bite....we were all confused. It tasted like carbs and some seafood - literally that's it. No other flavors or seasonings for the pizza or the lobster. Did they just use tomato paste, instead of an actual sauce with herbs...probably. This place can't have a secret recipe...because there isn't one. The recipe is dough, tomato, cheese, and a lobster tail ....and serve lol. I've never cooked anything using a brick oven, much less a Lobster in one, but brick ovens are....HOT and the oven temperature isn't simple to regulate. So assuming they used the brick oven to cook the lobster - I don't actually know, but I personally thought the lobster was over cooked, but what do I know, maybe that's how they wanted it to taste. Also, you can not alter the Lobster Pizza at all when you order it (i.e., add toppings or do 1/2 lobster and half something else). We used the free table sauces to spruce up the pizza and to help us get it down but between the three of us we didn't finish and didn't bother taking it back to the hotel later for leftovers. The staff was super nice, she let us do a mini Mezcal tasting and explained the different kinds and how to drink them - if you turn your head one way and drink it triggers the taste buds and then if you turn the other way and drink it focuses on the alcohol? They have an extensive Mezcal offering if that's your thing. Its an outdoor courtyard type of restaurant with lots of plants and shade and they had some eco friendly bug spray available - that was nice, though I am an unfortunate supporter of deet (the mosquitoes in Holbox are out of a horror movie), they take debit/credit cards. We had the experience everyone talks/raves about so yay, but I wouldn't order it again, Good Luck. read more

Great pizza. The 5 cheese pizza (which is listed on the appetizer menu) was great. Add any other toppings you want but it had a tasty mix of normal pizza cheeses and some bonus more exotic cheese for a pizza (Gorgonzola or blue). Friendly staff and fast service. read more

Was drawn to this place for some famous lobster pizza. I was not let down. The service was helpful and seated us quickly, next to a slumbering cat i should mention. We had beer from the menu and waited for the pizza. Although this was the most expensive meal we had in Holbox in my opinion it was worth it. It was about 30$ us for two beers and a large pizza. totally different than the other places around town. the layout was wonderful and family friendly. Note: they only took cash while we where there but this could have been to down wifi as it happens often on the island. read more

Lobster pizza is the draw (I know, I know, it's borderline blasphemous, but trust me!), but you can order any flavor and it will be the best you'll ever have! Oh and the 3 salsas they bring as toppings will make you an instant addict. Good luck finding anything better to top your pizza! :))) read more

Cute spot, surrounded by trees (they supply bug spray!), and sting lights. the stools are made from hunks of tree trunks and the tables are giant slabs or wood too. Once you stop staring at the setting, order a couple cocktails and some pizza and settle in for a few hours. At least, that's what we would do if we didn't have our baby with us who quickly grows tired of watching us eat and drink. We went twice in ten days, and loved every bite and sip both times. The Lobster Pizza is a given and well worth the price. We also had and loved the mushroom and blue cheese pizza and the Mexicana pizza. The cocktails are fantastic and the music is great, can't wait to go back on our next visit to Holbox. read more

YOU MUST TRY THE LOBSTER PIZZA. This has to be the best pizza I've ever had and the sauces that they bring with it are amazing.
