Pizza Italia — Restaurant in Kerala

Check the other (lowest) reviews as well before you go here and read this review in full. We ordered Chicken Olive, Chicken Saloni and pizza was indeed good and tasted well.

Unfortunately we also ordered Sea Bass / Kalanchi also which is the from same premises (salt and pepper restaurant) and that made our entire experience bad or even worst in recent times we dined out. A fish of same size which was costing only 800 in nearby shop, Kerala Cafe was charged Rs. 2400 here. He agreed for the 1600 for 1 piece but charged Rs. 2400 stating he was quoting was Rs.1600 for 1 KG.

Few enterprising youth runs the shop but in a really unethical manner. If localites / kochiites are treated this way, wondering the case of outsiders.

Update : I am changing the star from 1 to 4 because of their really surprising action of reversing the amount they charged for sea bass with the message “Eat...

The Pizza and salads we had were among the best Italian I have had from a restaurant in India. Comparable to stuff prepared by my Italian friends. I have never been to Italy so my nearest comparison is chefs friends I have from Italy.

Their cheese was of quite good quality nothing gormet but nevertheless very good. It's a hole in the wall restaurant so I really think they deserve a 5 stars review, especially considering the fact that I have been told ' we use amul cheese' when I asked a waiter at a 5 star hotel in Kochi what cheese they had in the dish I was ordering.

Their Keralite dishes are also really good, especially the meen polichathu, they add raisins and cashews to it giving it a twist, I would not call the Kerala items authentic but they are very very tasty.

Definitely a place to try when...

You’ll get the best pizza in Kerala here. Pizza Italia was moulded by Italian chef who was trained the person managing the spot in making authentic Italian pizza. The menu is good, with a choice of pizza, pasta, calzone and salads. If you’re lucky you’ll get the pizza made by the Italian chef himself. They also have a few Indian improvisations as well, and an Indian menu with items like roti, dal, etc. Carry enough cash with you, for they do not accept cards. This is a street cafe at its best, so do not look for ambience and soft music, no AC either. You’ll also get to see the menu ordered by those in the neighbouring cafes that offer a variety of seafood. Oh, and finally enjoy...
