Old Cozumel restaurant

Man, I just realized it's been 10 years since our last visit! Not
counting a day on a cruise. Anyways, we have a favorite restaurant
and I wonder if it's still there. Is Pizza Reynaldo still around? It
was on the far side of town, across the street from the water. It had
a neat little courtyard and some great pizza.

It's now called Guido's. My understanding is that it's still the same
family, just a new name. In any case Guido's is one of my favourite
restaurants on the island.

Jack is right, Pizza Rolandi is no more - at least in name. The new
name is Guido's, it's the same place just north of the museum, and
though I don't count heads, the staff is all still there along with
everything else except the turtle (he/she has left the building). I was
told the name change was decided because another pizza outfit on the
mainland started using the same name. This is plausible because I've
seen the signs with the name, and though I've not dined under this sign,
I've been told by several reliable sources that the food sucks. An
effort was made to convince the new place to not assume a relationship
where none existed, but to no avail. So, Pizza Rolandi changed only
their name to Guido's (pronounced Gee-doze, not Gwee-doze). As usual,
any taxi still knows the location.

If your group is big enough they will open for you on Sundays(with plenty
of advanced notice).

There is a wood fired pizza place about 2 block east of the town square on
the northernmost town square "road". It was awesome the last time we were
there. (no time to pull up a map for the exact location!)

I can't help you. It's been 19 years since I was there... and I
wasn't impressed with any of the restaurants. :(

Why not, they wouldn't super-size it for an extra $.29?

I'd go to Cozumel just for the restaurants, but of course the diving isn't
bad either. El Moro has long been a favorite, Capi Navegante has always
been decent for fresh seafood, Casa Denis has good Yucatan dishes, La Choza
is where I go for chiles rellenos, and I hear that La Cabana del Pescador is
THE place for lobster but I have not been.

La Cabana del Pescador was THE place for lobster 10 years ago. I am
told by more recent visitors that nothing has changed.
