Some restaurants serve food. Driftwood Pizzeria serves an experience — wood-fired pizza, salty ocean air, rolled into one beachfront setting at Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa in Rodney Bay.
The menu says it all: where Italian tradition meets Caribbean flavour. It's a promise Driftwood delivers on with every dish, blending the classics of Italy with the bold, tropical ingredients of the island, creating a dining experience you won't find anywhere else on Saint Lucia's coast.
Pizza, Two Ways
Purists will find a home in the Pizze Rosse — traditional tomato-based pizzas made with a signature house tomato sauce and baked true to authentic Italian style. The Margherita keeps it simple with fresh basil, while the Caribbean Heat turns things up with jerk chicken, roasted peppers, and hot honey — a pizza that could only exist in the Caribbean.
For something richer, the Pizze Bianche skip the tomato base entirely, letting premium cheeses and toppings take the spotlight. The St. Lucian, topped with grilled lambi (conch), red onion, and souskai, is a true taste of local Saint Lucian flavors, while the Truffle Sunset — mushrooms, pancetta, thyme, and truffle oil brings serious indulgence to this beachfront pizzeria. Gluten-free crust is available on every pizza.
Beyond the Pizza
Driftwood's menu wanders well past pizza. Start with a Bruschetta or a Caprese Salad, made with buffalo mozzarella and warm focaccia. Pasta lovers can dig into a comforting Cavatelli alla Bolognese, a creamy Tagliatelle ai Funghi, or, for something special, the Tagliatelle all'Aragosta — fresh egg tagliatelle with half a spiny lobster. Save room for dessert: a warm Nutella & Banana Pizza or a classic Tiramisu are the perfect way to close out the meal.

Driftwood's regular hours run from 12:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.
