Olio D'Oliva Pizzeria
Experience the true taste of Italy
Authentic Italian gourmet pizzeria
Olio D'Oliva Pizzeria
Olio D’Oliva Pizzeria is one of those places in Sofia that manages to transport you directly to Italy without leaving the city center. This is not just another pizzeria, but a project with a soul and a clear philosophy: high quality, authentic Italian products, and a family attitude towards food and guests.
The story -
"Olio D'Oliva"
The name “Olio D’Oliva” (olive oil) is not accidental: olive oil is the basis of Italian cuisine and symbolizes respect for the land and pure products.
The concept was developed by Carlo – an Italian living in Sofia, who wanted to create a place where:
- craftsmanship in the kitchen,
- slow, well-fermented dough,
- and 100% Italian products
meet in an authentic but unpretentious atmosphere.
Over time, the brand has grown, and today Olio D’Oliva has locations in other cities – Prague, Thessaloniki, and an opening is planned in Alicante.
Atmosphere -
cozy Italy in the center
- a cozy and relaxed place, with a light romantic touch;
- suitable for meetings, dinners with friends, as well as for family gatherings;
with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere – wooden tables, bottles of wine on the shelves, lively but pleasant noise from conversations.

The food – the heart of Olio D'Oliva
The dough and baking
Pizza is the star of the menu. Characteristic of Olio D’Oliva:
- The pizzas are baked at a high temperature (over 300° C).
- The dough has a long fermentation – the result is a light, airy, and aromatic crust.
- Semi-wholemeal flours are used.
