Vito Wood Fired Pizza, Colombo

Let me introduce you to the place with the best Pizza that I have ever tasted. Vito Wood Fired Pizza; simply amazing. They have built quite a reputation in Sri Lanka, combining the Italian original recipes with traditional Sri Lankan flavors.

Even when restaurants and food stalls are forming like mushrooms in the capital, this pizzeria remains at the top with unique flavors and a vibe.

The Location

---

Well, it's situated in the Arcade Independence Square in Cinnamon Gardens. This area lies in the heart of Colombo and was once a colonial-era court. And now it has been converted into an entertainment area with shops, offices, relaxing areas, and restaurants.

It's in a classic and rich neighbourhood, surrounded by embassies, parks, the National Museum, ministries, etc. So, automatically, this pizzeria has got that posh vibe.

From Pettah private bus stand, it's around 40minutes away by bus, and you can easily reach here by a Tuk-Tuk or your private vehicle. There are plenty of parking spaces available for free.

So, as you can see, it's not just the surroundings with water fountains, the shop itself has transformed the place into an inviting look. They have nicely designed it with beautiful plants and flowers at the entrance. They are well-maintained and pleasing to the eye. And also, there are friends to invite us as well.

Outdoor Seating areas

---

The shop opens at 12.00 p.m. and we were there a few minutes before. As it's a holiday, people were already gathered to have a tasty bite. We could simply feel the smell from inside.

There are two outdoor seating options here: one surrounded by plants, and another in a more open space. This time, however, we chose to sit inside.

The inside Arrangement

---

The interior of Vito is modern and stunning. They have given a white and brown colour combination to the walls, mainly, and there are brick-shaped decorations here and there. The unique lamps and wall art have increased the charm of the place. The seating arrangement is good with comfortable chairs. There are different settings for two people, four people, and for families of around 6 as well.

There's a sink with all the sanitary items, and outside, they have provided washroom facilities.

Wood-fired oven

In one corner, we can see the highlight and uniqueness of this pizzeria: the open kitchen with the classic wood-fired oven. We can simply see how they are preparing our order. There are a few Sri Lankan chefs, and around 10 staff members to assist the crowd.

The Menu

This place is not just a pizza joint. There are many options like,

• Simple, Classic, Supreme, and Premium Pizza ranges of different flavours (Large(13 inch)/ Medium(9 inch))
• Pasta, Salad & Lasagna
• Dessert
• beverages

You can see the full list from the above image, or there is a full list on their website, Menu. A 10% service charge is added to all orders.

Our order

We were their first customers, and they prepared our order within 10 minutes. Freshly cooked from the oven. We ordered a Teriyaki Chicken large pizza in the Supreme Pizza Range, and two Cokes. It had chicken, button mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, along with different types of sauces.

Mmmm... What to say. Even remembering it is mouthwatering. They have used fresh ingredients, and it has a crispy crust. The flavor and the toppings were so good. Every bite was worth it.

I guess the making in the wood oven is the main reason for the unique flavor, and hats off to the chefs.

Us

We finished the meal within 15 minutes, and they straightaway gave us the bill. It was Rs . 3,290 (85 Steem). Cash or card options are available here. So, it's pretty easy for the customers.

So, overall, it's not just the flavor of the food, but everything is superb here. The staff is friendly and quick. And being in a rich neighbourhood, they have kept that ambiance with the setting, and facilities as well. So, it was a lovely experience, and we had no second thoughts about coming there.

Highly recommend the place for anyone.
