Seddrick ‘Seddy’ Livingston, formally the chef at Delancey, opened Goldie’s and the Roost in mid 2024 in the town of Coupeville, WA on Whidbey Island. If you’ve been to Delancey, you’ll see that Seddy took everything he learned from working the wood-fired oven there to his own place on the island. Pizza is the primary fare at Goldie’s though you’ll also find salads, wood-fired veggies, and a few other items on the menu.
This past July, we spent a couple days on Whidbey Island staying over in Langley at the Inn at Langely. We’d known that Seddy had opened Goldie’s after hearing about it on one of our visits to Delancey and were looking for a reason to hop over and try it out. We stopped in on a weekday right after they opened for the day so they weren’t very busy at first. We were probably the second party to stop in. By the time we left, all of the outdoor tables were full and so were a number of the tables inside. Right outside the front door there is a stand with paper menus and then there’s a chalk board above the kitchen with the daily specials and special ingredients you can add to your pizzas. Ordering takes place at the register at the far end of the counter and they’ll give you a number which you can take to sit either inside or in their beer garden out front. We tried out their white pie (aged mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, pecorino, ricotta, crispy alliums) and had one of their specials which had fresh peas, mozzarella, greens, and nuts. I’m rather partial to Japanese rice lager’s and they had Pfriem’s in the can. We had our lunch outside in the beer garden as it was a nice sunny morning. The white pie was phenomenal and as good as any I’ve ever had. The peas were crisp and delicious and a nice refreshing add on to the pizza. I wish we’d been hungrier and been able to try more of the food but what we had was delicious.
The Roost is cocktail and wine bar on the second floor, right above Goldie’s. We didn’t have a chance to try out The Roost when we stopped by Goldie’s but look forward to visiting the next time we’re on Whidbey.
We probably make it to Whidbey at least once a year and will definitely make sure we stop at Goldie’s on every trip in the future. This is a wonderful addition to a fun island excursion.
