    a half eaten sandwich

    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."

    Kelsey's pizza and Italian food is a pretty good local spot for some good food. We mostly do take out, and the service is very quick.

    Don't care for the pizza but salads aren't bad. A quick place for lunch break. Prices are cheap if you're looking for a quick meal.

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

    We stopped in on a Sunday evening to meet up with family and reconnect with an Air Force buddy I…read morehadn't seen in almost 20 years. What a fabulous experience! This place is truly a hidden gem. It sits right on A1A in Cape Canaveral, just beyond the traffic light as you cross the Cruise Ship Terminal. Parking is plentiful, easy to access, and easy to get in and out of. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting. The service was top-notch, and our waiters were extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including how everything was prepared. One thing that really stood out to me was the freshness of the food. There are no heating lamps keeping plates warm and no "Chef Mike" (microwave) shortcuts. Everything is made to order, exactly the way you want it. They have a great regular menu, but they also offer specials, which is what I went with. I had the NY Strip special, and it was cooked to perfection! The steak was incredibly well-seasoned and paired with a zucchini and squash medley that tasted like it had just the right touch of truffle oil and garlic. It was seasoned perfectly. I normally don't eat zucchini or squash unless they're prepared a certain way, and this was exactly how I like them. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. Be sure to take a look around at all the space-related items throughout the restaurant--they add a really cool Cape Canaveral touch to the experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a memorable evening. You won't be disappointed!

    We visited this place a year prior when we were in town for a cruise, and decided to go back…read morebecause it was convenient to our hotel and we enjoyed it before. It was just as good as I remembered... excellent pizza and specials. I ordered salmon with a sweet thai sauce over mashed potatoes and spinach. It was topped with a few plump shrimp, and it was delicious! One of the best meals I'd had in a while. My husband enjoyed his dish as well which was a pasta with a cream sauce and mussels. Unfortunately the dish lacked the pieces of lobster that we were told it would include, but the dish tasted great. Our boys enjoyed their pizza. I'd give the food 5 stars. Overall, I'd give the restaurant 4 stars. I knocked off a point just because it took a while for our server to acknowledge us, and the ambiance was nice enough but not 5 stars quality. I'd certainly visit again if I were in the area.
