Coral Bay Peeps Profile – Pizzabar in Paradise

Mooncottages St John Villa rentals favorite Pizzeria in peaceful Coral Bay is Pizzabar in Paradise. Potential guests always ask about how Coral Bay restaurants have recovered. Here is only ONE example how we’re doing great! The pizza crust dough is completely handmade daily. It takes 6-8 hours to rise properly.  I’m not sure I want to try this at home. Would rather go to Pizzabar in Paradise.

Coleen is the gracious owner of Pizza in Paradise, a native Bostonian, she had a dream and here it is! When asked how this all happened, Coleen told me last night that she put a notice on Craig’s List for a master Pizza maker on St. John, USVI. Fabio happened to be working on the other side of the island at another restaurant. And – the rest is history. Pizzabar in Paradise was born a year ago last Friday.

When staying at Mooncottages St John Villa Rentals or anywhere in St John, stop by Coral Bay for the tastiest, most authentic pizza anywhere near Rome or the equator for that matter with a great local vibe and live music on Tuesday nights.

Charming hosts and the food is simply great. I like the Margarita Pizza with fresh tomato and basil … the best!

What other Coral Bay Restaurants on ST John could you eat such delicious food with such a delicious view. OK. This REALLY is your view. From your table. Right under the centuries old sea grape trees at Ms. Lucy’s on Route 107, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands … about 2 miles from the turnoff into Coral Bay US Virgin Islands.

Shipwreck Landing Cool with a View

Right down the hill from Mooncottages is our closest and one of the best restaurants for St. John Cuisine on the island–the unstoppable Shipwreck Landing in Coral Bay. We have been on St. John a long time and have experienced Shipwreck Landing through a number of chefs, storms and economic conditions … and it keeps on going strong!

The crowd is always lively. The staff, local and friendly. And, the food is always Yummy. A lot of homemade dishes are on the menu at all times. The soups are incredible. They usually always have a local fish as well as your standard menu of just about everything. My favorite when I am in the mood, is Fish and Chips. I just love it. Add a little hot sauce into the tartar sauce and enjoy with a cold, icy beer.

They also have music usually on Wednesdays and Sundays … but check with them while you’re here. One of the great things about staying at Mooncottages, is when the wind is right, you can hear the music from down below sweetly serenading you from 550 below. That’s just HOW quiet it is up there. You can listen to it while you make your own St. John cuisine at home.

While at Shipwreck Landing, turn around and enjoy the ocean because it’s right there. Or kill a little time shopping at their funky little shopping area. Its usually quite busy in season, so get there early.
