Melisi in Hillingdon

Went for a birthday lunch with 8 people. Everyone really enjoyed their pizzas and pastas, and service was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new local Italian restaurant.

Good food and attentive service

Brilliant food, great service, cozy vibes inside and at a reasonable price. Had the mushroom ravioli and tiramisu for dessert both were really good!

The meal was really good, an authentic Napolitan pizza in London. What I was not happy about was the amount of digestive liquor ( Amaro Averna) that I had at the end of my meal. As an Italian I was expecting the same amount I always have served in Italy wherever I go, without the use of measures, so that I can truly appreciate what I am drinking. That is what I would do if I was a restaurant owner, serving an Italian customer.

I had pizza Napoli. Very nice authentic Italian

Went for dinner and ordered L'abuffeta pizza, prosciutto pizza, and the Italian sausage with chilli pasta. Food was all excellent, especially recommend the sausage pasta. Worth it for the price. I'm being fussy here but the server seemed very unenthusiastic and lifeless. Wish they would have closed the door though as the evening was cold. Overall a brilliant visit and I definitely recommend it.

If you are looking for authentic pizza - this is the place. Sure there are other places in Ruislip that serve (what they claim to be) pizza but they don't - trust me. In fact Melisi pizzas are so good, I keep promising myself I'll try some of their pasta dishes but as soon as I walk in and that aroma hits my nostrils, I could be in Naples and I order pizza. Absolutely delicious.

Delicious and gorgeously prepared food served by a friendly and helpful staff. It's always a wonderful experience dining at Melisi.

Loved my pasta .. really tasty and creamy and refreshing cocktail 🍸 and dessert was to die for … would definitely go again .. I forgot to take any pictures

Great authentic Italian pizza, delicious drinks (I recommend the limoncello spritz). Friendly and professional staff made the experience very positive. Plus they play real Italian music!

This was our sixth visit to Melisi and it has never failed to deliver. We have something different from the menu each time we visit and the food is always 10/10. We visited for a birthday in April and they went above and beyond.

One of the best pizzas I have ever had in London Keep it up Melisi I will come in to eat next time 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is my 3rd visit to the restaurant and glad to report that the food, as usual, was fresh, tasted delectable and even pleased my 'KFC loving' pre-teen. Service was friendly, ambience could do with an uplift as it's very basic with a lot of room taken by the counter. That said, the food itself is a huge draw and we will be visiting again soon.

Reasonably priced super tasty pizza and yummy cannoli!

Nice pizza and starters. Reasonable price and good staff! Can’t complain at all

Limp slimy rocket underneath garlic bread. Loud, hot, uncomfortable. Immature service with staff who barely knew what was going on. Warm beer and warm white wine. We didn’t finish the food (in fact left 3/4 of both the pasta and pizza) and they didn’t even ask why - just took the plates and brought the bill. My German aunt makes better Italian food than Melisi.

An authentic Italian restaurant on Ruislip high street. This place was cosy and comfortable, serving up great food. We had the tagliere to start, which was a sharing plate of meats (salami, prosciutto crudo, mortadella) and cheeses (mozzarella, grana padano). The mozzarella was very creamy and had a great flavour, which I was not expecting of mozzarella but this one was delicious. For mains we tried two of their new pizzas - Caramellata (ventricina salami, mozzarella, caramelised onions) and Romagna (mozzarella, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and mortadella ham) Both pizzas were delicious, with a Roma-style thin base and slightly charred crusty from their pizza oven. We shared a tiramisu for dessert which was light and creamy with a punchy coffee flavour without being bitter or too strong. Service here was attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend Melisi!!

Waited 1hr vs the stated 15mins for my delivery order and the food simply wasn’t worth the wait. The BOGOF garlic bread was also disappointing and was binned.

We visited Melisi for the first time and were very impressed. We had one pizza and a salad to share for two of us but the pizza was so delicious we ordered another one. I would definitely recommend this place and will visit regularly for their delicious food. Their staff were fantastic too. Prices were reasonable too for the quality of their food.

We are Italian and Melisi is the right place to go for feel the Italian tradition, pizza and pasta have the exactly taste that you can find in Italy!

Tiny settings bely great pasta and service. Whenever I come here I wonder why I didn't come back sooner.

By far the best Pizza in Ruislip. Im a pizza freak and have two ovens myself so was pleased to find actual Real Neopolitan Pizzas, local to me. I usually head to North London but these guys are as authentic as you get. Only ever taken away but they have refurbed to allow more seats which are usually all taken with families and pizza lovers. Friendly people and amazing Pizza, beats any of the other restaurants in the area hands down.

Very nice pizza's, great price and friendly staff. The pizza's were slightly damper than I would usually like however they tasted amazing and their gelato was a great desert choice.

Good food. Will be going back for sure

Loved the good! Better than high end restaurants. Super affordable and portions are so filling

Best italian place in Ruislip and around! All the food is great anything from the menu is good and recepies done classic and properly keep it on! The atmosphere could be better needs some chill/classic music in the background and service could be improved but the quality of the food makes it up

I think Melisi's makes the best pizza outside of Italy

We had a great time here! Went for lunch on a weekday and ordered 3 pizzas and ravioli ( all vegetarian). I absolutely loved the ravioli, it was one of the best I've ever eaten. Kind staff and reasonable prices. The desserts were also wonderful, the Panna Cotta was deliciously smooth and the Tiramisu was delicious ! Would highly recommend this place and definitely come here again! Update : We also had the wonderful white base pizza for takeout, I had never tried anything like it before but I loved it, would definitely recommend again!

Food was great! As well as the service! Staff polite and friendly!

This is a great Italian with a stripped down menu that are all cooked fresh and taste delicious. My virgin mojito was superb. My garlic bread starter was good but could have done with more garlic. My margherita pizza was the standout dish. The other ravioli dishes and brushetta starter we ordered were all little gems. Dessert menu was the only let down for us.

Incredible food (always), wonderful decor, amazing service however music was a little odd at times

It was ok - not a huge choice on menu. They dont alter any of the items to cater to the individual, what you see on the menu is what you get. Food came out very quickly steam hot didmt seem like it was freshly cooked maybe heated up. Dessert was tasty. Overall it was ok - woudlnt go back tbh.

The pizza was really testy. Service was also good . Atmosphere is fine it just restaurant abit small & for some reason the windows were steamed up.

Employees are enthusiastic and attentive Food tastes good

Tried this place for the first time and for an Italian food lover, I really loved their their starters and also their Ricotta Their Pizza although I was hoping a bit more to it though But none the less, please give this place a try as for vegetarians.. there are ample of options and the Staff is lovely

Very nice pizza place on Ruislip. Nice enviroment even if we went there just to grab a take away pizza. Nice choice of pizza, some of them changes seasonally, you can also get some starters and dessert to end your dinner ina sqeet way. Since it is quite busy i highly reccomand to book your table if you want to eat in, there are always a lot of people and they also work with take aways (uber eat, deliveroo ecc..). Open only for dinner during the week, lunch and dinner on weekends

Favourite Italian in Ruislip. The food is amazing! Can’t recommend enough! Family friendly for children too. Look forward to going again soon.

Really lovely food. Popular so you need to book.

One of the favourites on my list. We Have been there just once, but we will come back with pleasure for sure. The restaurant is beautiful, clean and tidy, the staff friendly and calm, the food excellent, we got two different pizzas and were great, the raspberry sorbet is delicious. I have recommended to some Of my friends. Well done team!

Great friendly place to go to with my wife for a really good pizza.

I didn't book but they fitted me in. The Olives were fabulous, the main course was outstanding. Friendly service. A lovely atmosphere. We will eat here the next time we visit Ruislip.

Great food, good service. Lovely little Indepentant restaurant.

I had a birthday at this location! The pleasant atmosphere, the same service!!! What I didn't like was the slightly peppery price! So it was mandatory for a person to order 3 positions at an indicative price of 30 pounds. So the first course was some appetizers, the 2nd course was pasta, pizza, etc. and the 3rd course was dessert! We asked to combine 2 people for a menu, because it is impossible for one person to eat a pizza plus appetizer and dessert! They didn't allow us!! So most of them ordered a few pizzas, ate a maximum of half of it, and threw the rest away, which I don't think is ok! In the picture there is something with mushrooms from the appetizers, that is, from the first position!!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff but disappointing food on a recent visit. Melisi had been one of my favourite Italian restaurants but on my birthday dinner I was let down by the food quality. I made my usual order - Pasta con salsiccia e tartufo, but this time it was extremely bland and didn't taste like it used to at all. My partner also ordered a pizza for his main dish and sadly this lacked flavour. It's upsetting that the food was such a disappointment because this is a really cute and cosy restaurant with good portions so it makes it worth the price. However after my recent visit I'm not sure I'll visit again.

best pizza in Ruislip and Eastcote. the staff is great too please expand the seating area .... we just need a bit more room between the tables.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, excellent food, friendly staff, service attentive without being intrusive. Our second visit and not disappointed.

It is so good. A great surprise.

Everytime I go here the pizza is always superb. The staff are lovely and surroundings comfortable and clean. Service is always extremely good

Seems expensive for delivery via Uber eats but the food is excellent.

Nice decor with an authentic Italian blue patterned tiles and feel inside. Great stone baked pizza. You know the pizza is good when you don't leave the crusts! Nice portion sizes too. My comments would be that the aubergine parmigiana wasn't very hot when it came out and the focaccia isnt focaccia, its more like pizza bread with pesto. Would come back for pizza though👍🏼

A great little gem of a find. The pizza was The Best I've had for years!!

Fantastic service and pasta! Definitely recomend it

Diavola pizza is to die for. So is the parmigiana starter or the king prawn starter.

Delicious food, wonderful staff and great atmosphere

We were looking for shelter from the rain and for a nice meal in Ruislip on this wintery July day and we luckily passed by this lovely pizzeria napoletana. Staff is nice and professional and the place is small and cozy with a standard modern décor. Very good and definitely not a standard selection of starters, pasta and pizza. We shared 2 different pizzas (succulenta and pizzichino). The quality of the ingredients is excellent and the dough is light, well hydrated and well kneaded. Unfortunately, in my personal opinion, there's a lack of beer choice (only 330ml bottle of moretti and peroni/nastro), pizzas had to stay in the oven maybe a few extra seconds and the whole menu is a bit overpriced. Not big deals tbh since both pizzas were very good and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. A Few details away from perfection 😁 Strongly recommend!

Really good freshly cooked food with great side salads. Nice staff and good value.

Love the food at Melisi. A local restaurant at Ruislip with authentic Italian flavours and the staff is the cream on the cake.

Amazing food, we where sitting next to pizza oven so a bit warm tbh but overall felt like we were in Sicily ! Loved it

Excellent food but do not order home delivey as uber eat riders will not deliver your order. Furthermore uber eat will not answer your call. Better to get your order in peson if you dont want to loose your money.

Food amazing, staff wonderful. I will be back

The pizza is so fresh and tasty. The restaurant is clean. My mum ordered the Ragu pasta which we didn’t realise is made so the pasta is very ‘ al dente’ or harder than what I would consider to be al dente . We politely asked the team if it could be cooked more . After they pointed out that the menu says it is normally cooked this way they happily cooked it more despite it being our error. I would recommend this restaurant.

Good pizza, really close to Napolitan one,the only down thing is that (maybe not always)the tomato sauce was a bit too sour, but overall price/quality really good 👍.

Good Italian pizza, lovely atmosphere and staff members.

Superb experience. Ticks every Box. Friendly staff, excellent pizza and pasta, good quality kids menu and overall good value. Very impressed 👏 👌

Recommend Napoli pizza and Parmigiana

Authentic Italian food, tasted soo good! They even have vegan options!!

Tasty food, nice atmosphere - definitely recommended.

First time for all of us here, thoroughly enjoyed it

My favourite Pizza restaurant in the area. Being from the Italian border I am used to Italian pizza with nice and traditional ingredients, which is exactly what you will get at Melisi, no pineapple nonsense there.

Delicious authentic Italian food, the pizzas hit the spot and the tiramisu is just perfect. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options too Always great customer service and a lovely atmosphere. Looking forward to the next visit already!

The food was lovely, although not being able to order off the kids menu is absolutely ridiculous. I explained that I have had a gastric sleeve surgery and physically cannot eat a full portion and that it was not about the money, but about a waste of food. Either way, food was good so I would definitely recommend.

Excellent quality food and service

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this casual and intimate Italian restaurant that exceeded all my expectations. The food at Melisi was simply outstanding, I opted for the truffle pasta, which was nothing short of heavenly. The rich and creamy sauce was infused with the decadent flavor of truffles, and the pasta itself was cooked to the perfect al dente texture. Each bite was a true delight, and I savored every last forkful. And as if that wasn't enough, I finished my meal with a mouthwatering tiramisu that was the perfect end to a perfect meal. The dessert was light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet, with a delicate balance of flavors that left me feeling satisfied and content. But what really made my dining experience at Melisi stand out was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I needed throughout the meal. Overall, I highly recommend Melisi to anyone looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience. From the delicious food to the exceptional service, this restaurant truly delivers on all fronts. I can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing dishes!

The staff were really inflexible, refused to move us away from our assigned table (we were seated right next to the open kitchen) even though there were other tables available - they would've had to reconfigure them a bit but they didn't want to. It was downhill from there - they didn't want to customise the pasta dish (I wanted to add prawns which were in a different dish), they didn't have chilli flakes for the pizza, and the pasta was dry and tasteless. Service was definitely NOT with a smile and overall it was a bad experience. Any of the above issues could've been rectified with a more hospitable and friendly staff but this team was just really unwelcoming and inflexible. They probably need a bit of customer service training. Glad I could give Melisi one star because my friend really enjoyed her pizza.

Outstanding food. The best Italian food I have had. Highly recommended.

Nice little Italian in Ruislip. There arent lots of tables so make sure you book. Pizzas are authentic. Service could bring a little better but overall we had a nice evening here

Nice cosy place, authentic feel

Great proper Italian pizza with good ingredients. Pasta also very tasty. Service is also good.

Incredible pizza, done the authentic Neapolitan way (I know I’ve been to Naples ;). Very friendly service

The food was nice and the lady who served us was lovely and very friendly. Something that surprised me was pizza with Nutella as dessert. It was quite a good one 👍🏻

A great place to have a pre-birthday meal! Small and intimate with really great food and service. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options which is really good for me, the veg pizza with vegan mozzarella was delicious! Only thing I would add is maybe add another vegan dessert other than sorbet, that’s just personal preference though and we were too full to even have dessert!! Thank you Melisi!

Some of the best pasta I've had!

Great proper Italian food yum! If only we still had a branch in Northwood

Fantastic Pizza, really enjoyed it, and my companion enjoyed the pasta very much!!

Visited in November 2022 for the first time and was not disappointed. The food was so delicious and so well made. Service was also friendly. Will absolutely visit again :)

Melisi is the best, I can't emphasise this enough. The texture and taste of the pizza dough is heavenly. The pasta is also great. My go-to is a Diavola pizza, Arrabiata pasta and the plain Ciabatta, which has rosemary and salt on it, followed by the Tiramisu. I can't eat all that so have the rest for lunch the next day! I have loved everything I've tried from the menu so you can't go wrong. It's a nice place to eat in too, the staff are always kind and good fun too.

Top notch neopolitan pizza. One of my favourite local pizzerias. The quality is outstanding and the prices are reasonable. Starters are less impressive but it doesn't matter when the pizzas themselves are so good. Quite a small place can be difficult to get a table at times. Recommend eating in over takeaway/delivery

Freshly cooked Pizzas and Pasta. Cooked to perfection. Great little restaurant and great service and value for money. Well done. Keep up the good work. 👌 👌 👏 👏

Amazing customer service and the food was to die for!

Friendly efficient service. Great tasting fresh authentic food

Amazing pasta, amazing pizza! Aubgerine parmigiana is so tasty as well as the garlic bread. So good!

All three dishes we had to share were delicious and top quality. Great service too. Will hopefully be back soon to try more.

Very good arrabiata and excellent pizza (good dough)

Great food for eating in and takeout. Can't really complain about anything!

Lovely authentic Italian food - and the prices aren't too bad!

A great family run restaurant that offers delicious Napoli pizzas baked fresh using fresh ingredients. The staff is courteous and efficient too.

Their pizza are just delicious. I thought I was in Rome. The service was excellent. Can't wait to visit again

The food here is incredible. Authentic and fresh ingredients. Starters, Mains and dessert were all delicious. Cannot wait to come back to try more on the menu.

HONEST REVIEW - Vegetarian pizza that was advertised with a topping was missing that. Called to explain. Instead of an apology I got arguments saying the menu online is wrong. Didn't even offer pizza sauce for the excessive crust that is very dry. Mushroom saffron pasta too little sauce, very bland. I had to add capers, mushrooms (because there were like 2 in the whole dish) rocket and my own hard cheese. It's an incomplete dish. Poor customer service, average food at high prices.

Wow amazing friendly staff providing a great service and the food was amazing.
