Thin crust, wood-fired pizza, with toppings like Pol Sambol. Michaelangelo is good for delivery, if you're really patient.
Cafe Michaelangelo has been around for a while, now, and is usually quite busy. They do thin crust, wood-fired pizza, with a lot of Sri Lankanized toppings on offer. From Margherita pizzas to Marinara and four cheese, they've got a good range at decent prices, plus ravioli (Rs. 1100) and tiramisu (Rs. 600). They've got a dine-in at Rajagiriya on Nawala Road, but they deliver to Colombo after 5 PM. We ordered delivery on a Poya day and tried out the Pol Sambol pizza.
When you call Michelangelo's, they're able to take your order in English or Sinhala, and generally get it right. We asked for two pizzas, and were told that the Pol Sambol Pizza (9 inch, Rs. 900) would take more time to make. One and a half hours, they would need, to deliver a pizza from Rajagiriya to Dehiwela. Vut to do, we confirmed the order, they asked for address, directions and landmark. We placed our order at 6.45 PM, and they called back in 10 minutes to confirm the order.
An hour later, we received a text message letting us know that the pizza was ready and already on its way.
At 8.13 PM, the driver arrived and came with card machine. Transaction completed, we feasted.
The Pol Sambol was on point. With just the right balance of coconut sweetness and lime tartness, it was the sole highlight of the pizza.
We wished we had asked for onions, though, just to add more texture to the slice. It's not too spicy, so you can kick it up a notch with the chili packets that come with.
That Marinara, though. We tried the 12 inch Seafood Marinara (Rs. 1600). Super generous on the calamari and prawns, this is quite a good deal. I snuck a slice before the boys broke out the chili packet, and it was super good.
It worked really well with the chili flakes, too. Personally, I like adding oregano to everything, having grown up a Domino's fan. No oregano on any of these toppings, but it's cool.
There's no shortage of onions on this pizza. The seafood is quite flavourful, and tasted reasonably fresh. The kitchen is all the way out in Rajagiriya, though, and only opens at night, so we wouldn't bank on it being the day's catch.
Michaelangelo's is one of the better pizzas in Rajagiriya, and their delivery game is pretty decent. The pizzas are good, though not too generous with the mozarella. We like that they've tried something different with the pol sambol, and have our fingers crossed for a seeni sambol topping. Six people went at those two pizzas, and it was plenty.
Pol Sambol Pizza is on point. Generous toppings, good rates. Decent delivery.
Cafe Michealangelo does an interesting take on wood fired pizzas. We wouldn't really call it authentic, more like Sri Lankanized wood fired pizzas, but it tastes pretty darn good.
While rumours of Caffe Michaelangelo's origins are spiced with all the makings of an Italian soap opera (opened by the former lover of the now defunct Regina Margherita), their pizzas, also, live up to the spicy hype.

Urban Kitchen wood fire pizza is not bad as well!

They have a 4 cheese pizza that is amazing! The carbonara sucks though…. no bacon, and the sauce literally looks and tastes of undercooked eggs.

Lover? :/ I thought it was her husband.
Anywhoo…we had their pizzas once and didn't like it at all :( maybe it was a bad day :(
Yohan
Mmm tried both numbers but not contactable, guess they've folder up?
findx
location on the map is marked wrong. it's towards the rajagiriya side (near Nawala Keells), not the nugegoda site as marked.
Risotto
The standard, service and establishment has gone from very good to useless. Avoid disappointment by calling to ask if something is available in advance. Most often than not, it's not available or the chef is sick. Rocco's rocks!!!!!!!!!!
beonos
yes, it was her husband. and that map is wrong, as findx says. it's up past koswatte junction - nearly opposite sarasavi road would be the best direction based on that map.
Kanishka

Roms

Terrible pizzas. Waste of money. Pizza hut is better than this place!

Been loving their pizzas since last year but had recent bad experience. Hotbutter cuttlefish pizza tasted like cardboard & arrived 2hrs late. Hope they get their act together, we'd love to order from them again soon!
viran

One of the best Pizza place I've came across in SL. Generous in toppings unlike Domino's or Pizza Hut.

A self professed DOMINOS fan critiquing pizza… Well now we know what a bunch of "true professionals" the yamu team really are… You should be the last person to criticize the quality of pizzas. Oregano is a staple ingredient in most pasta / Italian dishes by the way, along with thyme, basil and garlic… But why explain this to a supposed expert. What a joke!!

Ordered Pizza off these guys twice on foodrocket.lk
Delivery time was on time (although the first time was slightly delayed, however rainy day and whatnot so will let them save face on that)
But the Pizzas were amaaaaazing! Got the Chicken Korma (Both times because it was that good!!) and also tried the Pol sambol and pollo al fungi.
The Korma gets 10 points!!!
