Onlywood, each offering a distinct atmosphere while maintaining the same commitment to quality and flavor.

The restaurant was founded on the belief that great food begins with fire, patience, and respect for tradition. Inspired by small Italian trattorias, Onlywood Pizzeria Trattoria brings the essence of Napolitan pizza to Key West, using a traditional wood-burning oven that reaches 1,000 degrees to create perfectly crisp, airy pizzas in minutes. All pastas are made in-house, and ingredients not prepared on-site are sourced directly from Italy. The vision expanded in 2019 with the opening of Onlywood Grill, followed by S.M. Onlywood in December 2025 at the southernmost point of the United States, continuing the legacy of fire, flavor, and community.
Situated at 613-1/2 Duval Street, the restaurant is just a short walk from several key landmarks, including Mallory Square, the Memorial Sculpture Garden, and Simonton Street Beach, all within a quarter-mile radius. Nearby attractions such as the Waterfront Playhouse and the Key West - Florida Keys Historical Military Monument are also within a brief stroll, placing the restaurant in the vibrant cultural heart of the island.
Onlywood Pizzeria Trattoria stands out for its commitment to authentic Italian craftsmanship, its use of a traditional wood-fired oven, and its role in the local dining scene as a destination for those seeking genuine, handcrafted meals in a historic setting. The restaurant continues to serve as a cornerstone of Key West’s culinary identity, blending tradition with the island’s unique coastal spirit.
