We had lunch here and since it is often regarded as the best pizza place in Manali I was quite excited. This place has a fascinating history which the owner himself told us. He makes all the food himself and there is only one other guy helping out on the orders. I personally did not like the pizza a lot. The Nutella pancakes we ordered were delicious. The drinks were also good and overall okay-good food. The view is beautiful and you can see the mountains from there. The atmosphere is also satisfactory. Service was good. Overall a good place. Should visit if you like pancakes and hard thin crust pizzas.
Serves the best Pizza I've ever had. Beats a lot of big players around as far as the food is concerned. I visit Manali very frequently and I make sure to visit Pizza Olive. The chef is so skilled that he gets the pizza base, sauce and the taste right every time! They also serve great appetizers and some really fresh juices. This place is a 5 / 5 on food, service and ambience. Tsering has served us with utmost hospitality each time. Thanks team Olive! You won't regret visiting this place.
Just amazing. Delicious authentic Italian food with good vibes. Amazing vibe with great view. Must must try
Tucked away in the heart of Manali, Pizza Olive is an absolute gem for pizza lovers! The ambience is warm, rustic, and cozy perfect for unwinding after a stroll through the hills. We were so blown away by the pizzas that we ended up ordering two pizzas in just 2–3 hours and yes, it was that good! What makes them truly stand out is the whole wheat pizza base light on the stomach, yet bursting with flavor. You don’t get that usual post-pizza heaviness, just pure satisfaction. Honestly, I’ve never had pizzas like these before - fresh, wholesome, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re a traveller or a local, don’t miss this place. It’s one of those rare spots where every bite feels like a hug in the mountains.
We were supposed to report at Woodbine Hotel across this place for a trek. The trek leaders got late by an hour or so and we decided to have a bite as it was already lunchtime. I cannot tell how flabbergasted we were by the interior! It appeared to have been designed and planned with a calm mind and a passionate heart. We were surprised to find nobody inside. At the same time, we felt lucky to be alone at such a marvelous place. And then came the food. We had Alfredo Chicken Special pizza and lime soda that day. And then, the same pizza again, along with fresh lime soda and tiramisu the evenjng our trek ended and we came back to Manali. Again, honey ginger lemon tea the same night. And again, came back the last night to have herbal tea and tiramisu, after spending the whole day at Old Manali. Love the vibe. Enjoyed stories by the chef-cum-trekker from Spiti and the nice boy who serves both as cashier and waiter.
Nice ambience, excellent food, good service, great views. Nicely maintained.
Places famous for a speakers but other things are also very good. Tried their mutton lasagna, write filling for a single person Architecture of the place is also something to look at. Made with traditional wood and stone with a proper wood stove in the middle providing a cozy feel in the winters. A tad bit expensive imo, else it's highly recommended
Great Food Experience at Pizza Olive, Manali I had a delightful experience at Pizza Olive in Manali. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Their wood-fired pizzas were absolutely delicious — crisp base, fresh toppings, and perfectly melted cheese. The service was friendly and prompt, adding to the overall positive vibe. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Italian flavors in the hills!
