Oysterhead Pizza - Damariscotta

Fantastic - excellent gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and meat options. There is something for everyone, and the pizza was exceptional.

Upon entering the restaurant, we inquired about the ordering process and were informed that there was table service. We were given a menu and proceeded to sit outside. After selecting our meal, we waited but no one came to take our order. Eventually, we noticed another group receiving their drinks and attempted to order inside, but were unable to get anyone's attention. We decided to move inside and continued to wait for service. Despite observing food being served to other tables, we were still not approached by a server. After nearly 20 minutes of waiting, we decided to leave. We then discovered a pizza place in Damariscotta a couple miles away where we enjoyed great food and prompt service.

We couldn't decide on a pizza and settled on the pepperoni meatball pizza. We brought it back to our campsite and ate it by the fire. It was perfect. Maybe the best pizza in Maine (I am also a Portland service industry girl myself). We were blown away and decided to go back the next day as we were leaving town to pick up the other pizza we were on the fence with, The Ella Bee. Well, I am currently eating it in the car on my way back down south. Bravo. It was fun to watch you guys work, like a well-oiled machine, and we were there at peak dinner time on a Friday night. Keep up the great work and you will see us again!

I would rate it higher but I had an excessively long wait time because staff started talking to other customers who came in and forgot about orders they were preparing. Many people came got their pizza ate and left before I got mine.

Okay the food is all locally sourced and scratch made! Pizza was amazing, can’t beat the crust. Had a calzone as well. I am not a red sauce guy typically but Oysterhead’s is crazy good!!! This is a must try!! Also a good beer selection and some really friendly folks working there.
