Rosalie's Pizza | Acadia Dining

Criterion Theatre marquee along a storefront street in Bar Harbor near Acadia National Park, glowing with lights.

Rosalie's Pizza packs a retro, family-friendly punch with a wood-fired crust that crackles under heat. The Rosie’s Choice Pizza carries spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and olive oil, the crust blistered and the cheese molten beneath. Pepperoni and Hot Honey brings a sweet-heat snap, while the Calzones deliver stretchy, cheese-forward bites. It’s a casual, takeout-friendly pit stop in Bar Harbor that still feels like a neighborhood hangout.
