    To start with there is not enough parking space available. The road leading up to the restaurant is also very narrow. Barely two vehicles can cross. So if you were to come here during busy hours you'll find it difficult to park your vehicle. We literally had to wait about 20 minutes to park our car. The staff was not that supportive during that situation either. Since the restaurant is located in the top of the building you'd have to either call or go and get help from the restaurant because there's no one managing the parking spaces. (Just wanted to put this out there ) Restaurant is quite spacious. Prices are reasonable. Menu lacks variety. Most of the items of the menu were not even available when we started to order. This was my first time trying Wood fired pizza and the experience was not that good to be honest. Vibe around the restaurant was really soothing.

    Friendly staff and the place is really nice to chill out. Great view over the Kandy city.. It was my second time that I have tried wood oven pizza in Kandy however it was not what I thought would be. Didnt like the flavor and cheese on the pizza was so little...however the experience was pretty good and service is exceptional.

    One of the best pizzas I had recently. The authenticity is unmatched. Wood fired pizza at the best. You can expect a big crowd here. So bit of a waiting. Space is limited though. The prices are affordable. Medium pizza cost around Rs.1200/-. Customer service is excellent and the waiting time for food is less than 20 mins. You can have a beer too. Overall a nice experience.

    This hidden gem boasts an extensive menu with a wide variety of delectable pizzas at reasonable prices. The fast service ensures a pleasant dining experience. While the parking area may be small, the breathtaking view and perfect evening vibe more than compensate. Highly recommended for pizza lovers looking for a memorable meal.

    The best pizza in kandy town. Very friendly staffs. Variety of pizza available and you can have half-half selection also. Pizza is delicious. Location is at 3rd floor, sadly there is no lifts. You have to use staircases. Superb view at night with music & lights. A must try place in Kandy city.

    Worth every step I took Walking uphill to reach this place. The pizza was amazing! Loved every bite of it. The staff was very helpful and friendly and just so incredibly nice! I felt terrible I didn't have cash to tip (made my payment in card). Overall a very nice experience, Wish I had come there earlier.

    Arrived at 820pm and waited for about 30min for a table. Pizza was excellent ( we had chicken pesto and spicy beef, both highly recommended) . Cocktails were nice but could be stronger. Staff Chanaka always served with a smile and spent time to check in with us even though the restaurant was super busy. One of the must-gos in Kandy !

    Nice place to grab a bite. The pizza we ordered was decent, but lacked flavour. It was Teriyaki Chicken, but tasted bland and unadventurous. They do offer three toppings, which do add some flavour, but it ain't nothing exceptional. The cheese on the pizza was much less compared to most restaurants. If you're someone who prefers it this way, then this is the place for you. Not the way I like it. The food is served exceptionally fast, but that comes with a downside. It wasn't warm. Didn't bother to check if it was pre-made and then just heated up, so I can't really say much there. The staff are friendly, and the view is beautiful (depends on your seating). It does get crowded, so don't expect to spend much time unwinding. It's more of an eat-and-go kinda place. All things considered, the meal was a tad above average, nothing fantastic.

    One of the best pizza places in kandy. Nice view and beautiful decorations inside. Wood fireplace is also in the front where customers can see the whole pizza making process. Great workers with friendly communication. Reasonable prizes. Beer and wine glasses also available.

    This was a LOVELY dinner spot - great tasting pizzas with lots of flavours and huge portion size. Large pizzas allows you to have 2 flavours which is great for sharing. The barbecue chicken + bacon and cheese pizza were our highlights! The view was also gorgeous from balcony. The waiters were excellent and very attentive to our needs… overall wonderful place.

    We stopped by here on our first day in Kandy as it was near our hotel within walking distance. You have to walk up the stairs to get to the restaurant. Everything was amazing! The place was busy with locals and foreigners. We sat outside for the view. The atmosphere was great. The restaurant was pretty clean. The restroom was clean as well! The customer service was amazing! They were super friendly. They were busy, but they did not forget about us! We ordered a large spicy beef pizza, and it was amazing! Highly recommended!

    This place does not really need another review, but here it is! The pizza was good and of course, if you order a large one, they offer you to choose different toppings. I like that! The view is amazing and makes your visit very special in a great atmosphere. Also the prices are reasonable! I'll definitely come back here! Highly recommended!

  • 2/5 Osanda S. 2 months ago on Google • 57 reviews New
    Overated. Don’t know why this is hyped. Pizza was average and like roast paan. Its 4 stories high tho. View was not as expected but had some views. The chicken alfredo pasta we bought was full of maggi cube flavour. Don’t recommend at all.

    Tried four types of pizzas and all were delicious. The chocolate milkshake was also a hit. The service of the person who served our table was exceptional. The Kandy Lake can be viewed from the top floor while enjoying a cool breeze. Highly recommended

    A great place to get wood fired pizza! Situated near Kandy lake. The shop is on 3rd floor but we didn't find any elevator so need to go up in stairs. You can get real, tasty, hot & fresh wood fired pizzas here. Beverages options are available as well. Staff is friendly. You can see a good view of the city from here. Parking is available for about 2 vehicles.

    Amazing experience... 🤩 didnt expect wood fired pizza in kandy. Loved the classic margarita. Almost close to the taste of pizza I had in Naples... Highly recommended the spicy oil, but for people who can tolerate 🌶🌶🌶 level of hot. 😉 Will surely go again...and again...

    Really loved their pizza range. They are exclusively wood fired and this is your go to place if you want to try the true flavour of wood fired pizza. Their 18 inch pizza was absolutely amazing and you can select from 2 toppings... Prices are affordable. Also loved the ambience, you must try this place in an evening while enjoying a cool beer. Last but not least their service was top notch and staff was really friendly. Highly recommended 👌

    Vito Wood Fried Pizza is located in Saranankara Mawatha, Kandy. I can guarantee that it is the best place to try for traditional wood fried pizza’s in Kandy. The architecture of the building is pretty cool and eye catching. The view from the Vito create a beautiful scenery of the kandy city and mountains. The atmosphere is so relaxing, calm and quiet. There are varieties of pizzas, pasta dishes, side dishes and drinks to enjoy for reasonable prizes. More than locals, Vito attracts foreigners as their customers. The hospitality of Vito should receive 11/10. Because most of other cafes and restaurants takes lot of time to prepare and serve the food, but Vito only takes few minutes to serve the food. That is a good point for competitive advantage. The professionalism and the friendliness of the staff is a reason to acquire more customers to Vito as I assume. Highly recommending for anybody who is craving for yummy pizzas to have with their families and friends.

    Vito's Wood Fire Pizza deserves a 5-star rating for its amazing pizzas and great service. The smell of fresh, wood-fired pizza hits you the moment you walk in, and the pizzas are delicious with a perfect, crispy crust. You can choose two flavors on a large pizza, which is great for sharing. Our favorites were the barbecue chicken and bacon and cheese pizzas. The balcony view is beautiful, and the waiters are super attentive. Highly recommend this place for a fantastic dining experience!

  • 5/5 L. Kanchana A. 4 months ago on Google • 74 reviews
    Vito's Wood Fire Pizza offers an authentic and delightful culinary experience. The moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh pizza baking in the wood-fired oven is simply irresistible. The pizzas here are a true masterpiece - the crust is perfectly charred and crispy, just as you'd expect from a genuine wood-fired pizza.

    Vito pizza is above Kandy City View in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It is run and managed by a few positive souls who maintains an amazing environment and service. They serve freshly made pizzas and customize for you as needed. In our 12 days journey and being jain vegetarian, we only get a confidence to eat pizza at this place and it meets our expectation. It is on the top floor and there are beautiful paintings and art along the way. :)

  • 4/5 Navidu C. 2 months ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    The balcony View is super Good. They sell out Italian thin crust pizza with multiple options on an average selling price.They provide you with to try out with half half options as well However the pizzas are good and we tried out Blue Mojito & Lime juice which Lime Juice is one of a juice which the sour is on point. Overall if you are visiting to kandy at least try out once as of the experience in kandy. Staff is super helpful. If talking about the availability, weekends are a bit busy. However sometimes the wait is worth a while. Located near Raddison where the previous ozo kandy was located. Easy to find.

  • 5/5 Mohammed K. 7 months ago on Google
    Best food I had in kandy. Pizza was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Pasta was also good. Service was amazing and fast. Highly recommend the spicy beef pizza. Stunning views from the restaurant.

  • 3/5 Ayesh K. 2 years ago on Google
    The views are pretty great, and the staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. The pizza was nothing amazing worth worth home about. The temperature wasn't that great, and the toppings were a lot less to what I was used to. It wasn't cheesy. The juice was subpar too. The pro is that it's a woodfire pizza place, which is not easy to come by. The views were great too, overlooking the lake.

  • 5/5 Danushka W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants to have a dinner with your loved ones. Beautiful scenery of Kandy lake is there. And I must say this place has the “ BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE” I have ever seen. I went there to organize a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend and they did their very best to fulfill my requirements, not like cafe owners but like close friends. And the food is very tasty too. දවසෙන් දවස දියුණු වේවා ✌😍

  • 5/5 Thashy A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best place for pizzas in Sri Lanka I would say. It’s delicious and worth the price. The employees work there are really friendly and attend to the needs of the customers very well. The process of making is visible to the customers and the ambience is super cool.

  • 5/5 Meshith Ariyawansa (. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing food and service! I requested a unique off-menu pizza, combining half bacon and cheese with Hawaiian flavors. The result was amazing, especially with two distinct sauces—one spicy and the other a flavorful dressing. The spicy sauce, in particular, was an exceptional addition, possibly the spiciest and most delicious sauce I've ever tried!

  • 4/5 Chloe T. 8 months ago on Google
    I had vegetables pizza and it was good. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor, nice view depending from some tables. Found too much salt under the dough and the size seems a bit smaller (9 inch). Service is messy when it's crowded. It is located uphill.

  • 4/5 Viranga D. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a unique place to have pizza in Kandy with a great atmosphere. The pizza is delicious, but it would be nice if they could add more mozzarella cheese. The price is lower than the other places. The staff is so good. Recommended for pizza lovers 🍕😍👌.

  • 5/5 Vajindra W. 6 months ago on Google
    Simply saying, "Best Pizza to be enjoyed in a perfect location, accompanied by the friendliest crew" I have tried their Hot and spicy chicken pizza, Chicken Alfredo and the bomb shell of the day "All meat pizza" (which is new and almost forgot to take a full picture as it was so yum and couldn't be stopped) that will seduce and tantalize all your taste buds and literally gives an org@$m in your mouth. For drinks we have ordered chocolate milk shake, virgin passion mojito (which is highly recommended as a refreshing tropical drink) and all time Sri Lankan favourite the Ice Cold Lion Lager Beer. Oh, not to forget the service. I have not been feeling like I went to a restaurant because I only felt I was at home, as the staff was so friendly and the service was so fast served fresh and hot with reasonable prices. They are not here to rip off your last penny in your bank, but to give you an unforgettable experience of a life time. Gloomy weather, breathtaking view, tasty food and a good cold beer is all you need to heal any physical or mental wound. I'm from Colombo and I will definitely come back to experience another supercalifragelisticexpialidocious moment. PS: this is not a paid review, but writing all these just because they deserve it. Also not that the joint might be crowded on Fridays and weekends and better to call them and get to know the arrangements beforehand.

  • 5/5 Nardine M. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is exceptionally amazing! Ashan was extremely kind! (aren't all Sri Lankans?!) We ordered a pizza (half pepperoni, half teriyaki) and pasta carbonara with bacon. 5th day in Sri lanka and this is the BEST meal we had, with the a beautiful view of Kandy.

  • 5/5 Pasan S. 9 months ago on Google
    So many delicious flavours available here. Super friendly customer service. Nice place with a beautiful view and Place is so clean. But the dining space is not enough. Other than that it's a good place.

  • 3/5 Igor D. 2 years ago on Google
    Positive: Friendly staff Western food Negative: Pizza not italian style, more american (thick pizza) Expensive for local standards 10% service charge barely visible in the menu Small pizzas. A bit far from center, very steep (not for walking due to narrow streets)

  • 5/5 BashBee 8 months ago on Google
    The food and the service were excellent. Nice view of the lake. The toppings were amazing. The staff knows customer service by heart. Since the road was narrow, it took a long time to reach there with the heavy traffic. Maybe skip going there during school time.

  • 5/5 Mark R. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This place is great! The best wood fired Pizza 🍕 in the center of Sri Lanka. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The pizza is absolutely amazing and definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. XL is the best!! They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
