Great pizza joint. Must get lobster pizza. Service was excellent. Great options for beer and cocktails. Live music at night.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Came for lunch and had the famous lobster Pizza and cocktails. The pizza was solid . They had a garlic like dark sauce that took the pizza to the next level. The staff was nice and outdoor patio was a vibe with the music

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.

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.

Awesome ambiance, great food and drinks. I have came many times before and sevicenever disappoints

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.

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.
