We visited the restaurant because of the numerous positive Google reviews and were thrilled! Super tasty pizza and an even better chef/waitress. She is extremely warm and her English is very good!
We felt completely at ease and can recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants to eat something different outside of Sri Lankan cuisine!
Prices are of course a little bite more expensive but totally worth it! Thanks :)

Must visit pizza restaurant if you are in town. This such a cute small little authentic Italian restaurant with very basic furniture, a seating capacity of 14 to 16 people only, but the Pizza 🍕 just beats everything else. We tried the Fungi and Salmia, and they were just outstanding. This restaurant has such an authentic local vibe to it as It’s a shack made out of metal and cardboard, but the feel is so genuine and real. The tables have a very unique styling with small hand written notes by guests in different languages, and foreign currency bills from across the world. 75% of the space is restaurant and 25% is kitchen. This place is run by a family, with such a nice home feel. It’s a bit hard to locate, but look for the first green shack after Royal Lake Hotel.

Pizza Salmia
There are very few pizza places in Nuwara Eliya, and this is hands down the best one. Upon reading the excellent reviews, we visited Salmiya for dinner, and it did not disappoint. They have great vegetarian options, and we got the vegetarian pizza and the Veg Extravaganza. Both were incredible.
There was a vegetable on my extravaganza, and I couldn't figure what it is. Upon asking the proprietor, turns out it's artichoke! Turns out they've been struggling to get artichokes in Sri Lanka, and he brings it in from Colombo in cans.
Regarding the ambience, it's a very small and cosy place with few tables. The tables are covered in love letters from previous patrons, expressing their thanks for the pizzas they had.
If you like pizza, you should go here but go before 8.30 pm because it closes by 9.

Vegetarian Pizza
Tiny little place with only 3 tables and 1 member of staff. It's a father, wife and kids that run the place. So waiting times can be long if a big table is in.
We ordered 1 veg extravaganza and a chicken salmiya and both were amazing pizzas. Really thin and crispy base and really tasty topping. Unfortunately you can't customise the pizzas, but they had about 30 pizza topping options so plenty to choose from.

Vegetarian Pizza
People who call this a good pizza must be very desperate for european food. I get it, this can happen when you travel for a long time away from home. But I still saved a very good memory of what a real pizza should taste like, and find what they cook here disappointing.
Thought the salad was very nice and big.

Best pizza I have had in SL! We loved the food so much that we returned for a second night. The thin pizza is covered so generously with ingredients and is flavorful and addictive. The place is small but clean and hygienic. Don't worry about asking for things that are not on the menu, the lady who runs it was so lovely and made us some superb and unique garlic break upon request. Make sure to check out all the cool visitors who ate there and left her notes of gratitude.

This cozy little restaurant has left the best impressions!
I guarantee you cannot find an authentic Italian pizza place like this anywhere in Sri Lanka. The owners (husband and wife) are extremely knowledgeable without any doubt. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about.
The menu is extensive with some Italian classics and some twists, and for their prices, it's 100% worth it. We enjoyed every single bite and it was just excellent.
Can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to eat a proper Italian meal in Nuwara Eliya.

Saw more than five COCKROACHES on our table alone! DISGUSTING!
Again, it is not the same cockroaches which we saw 5 times… 5 different cockroaches within 10 min!!!!
I don’t understand why it is so overrated on Google Map, food is average only.
