A Slice of Heaven: Cafe One Loves Wood Fired Pizzas
Here at Cafe One Love, nestled in the beautiful hills of Ella, Sri Lanka, we're known for our lively atmosphere, breath-taking views, and of course, our delicious food. But if you ask us what dish truly steals the show, it has to be our wood-fired pizzas. They're more than just a meal – they're a culinary experience, a testament to the love and care we put into everything we create.
The Magic of Wood-Fired Pizza
What makes wood-fired pizzas so special? It's the magic of the intense heat, the way the flames dance and infuse the pizza with a unique smoky flavour, creating that perfect crisp crust. We've spent years perfecting this art form. Our pizzas start with a base of homemade Italian dough, made with love and allowed to rise slowly to its full glory. Then we add our signature tomato sauce, a recipe passed down through generations, bursting with the flavours of ripe tomatoes and fragrant herbs.
Just before it hits the fiery oven, we top it off with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese, chosen for its exceptional quality and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. A sprinkle of Italian herbs and fresh basil completes the masterpiece, ready for its transformation in the heart of our wood-fired oven.
A World of Flavours
Our pizza menu is a celebration of both classic Italian tastes and our own culinary adventures. For those who love the simplicity of tradition, our Marinara Pizza is a vegan dream, showcasing the pure flavours of fresh tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil. And of course, we have the Margherita Pizza, a timeless classic that highlights the perfect marriage of tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil.
Looking for something with a bit of a kick? Our Spicy Pizza, with its selection of local fresh chillies, will ignite your taste buds. Or perhaps you'd prefer the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean? Then our Pesto Pizza, with its fragrant basil leaves pesto and sundried tomatoes, is the perfect choice.
For those who crave something green and wholesome, our Spinach Pizza, topped with fresh spinach and crunchy walnuts, is a winner. And our Vegetable Pizza is a celebration of the garden's bounty, featuring eggplant, mushroom, tomato, olives, and bell peppers – a true symphony of textures and tastes.
Beyond the Traditional
We love to push boundaries and explore new flavour combinations. That's why our menu goes beyond the traditional, offering unique creations that will surprise and delight you. Our Turkish Pizza (Pide), shaped like a ship and filled with feta, spinach, and onion, will transport you to the shores of the Mediterranean. And for those who enjoy a touch of sweetness with their savoury, our Hawaii Pizza, with its chicken bacon and pineapple topping, is a controversial yet beloved classic.
The French Pizza, with its creamy white sauce and chicken bacon, offers a taste of French elegance. Meat lovers will rejoice in our Chicken Bacon Pizza and Chicken Pepperoni Pizza, both packed with flavour.
Our signature One Love Special Pizza is a true testament to our passion for quality ingredients and exceptional taste. It features dry sautéed wild mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella – a pizza lover's dream. And for those who believe that more cheese is always better, our Cheese Pizza, with its blend of mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and feta cheese, is pure indulgence.
Something for Everyone
We believe everyone deserves a delicious slice of pizza. That's why we offer gluten-free dough and vegan coconut cheese on request, so that everyone can enjoy our wood-fired creations. We're passionate about making our cafe a welcoming space for all.
