Let me introduce you to Melisi, a restaurant that quietly stands out on High Street and feels like one of those places you’re glad you discovered early. Located at 129 High St, Ruislip HA4 8JY, United Kingdom, Melisi blends a relaxed neighborhood feel with the confidence of a well-run dining spot, making it easy to recommend to friends or first-time visitors. The atmosphere leans warm and welcoming, so whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal, it never feels rushed or pretentious. What I like most is how flexible the experience can be, because Melisi offers dine-in comfort alongside takeaway, delivery, and even outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, which adds a nice casual touch. The menu is thoughtfully balanced, offering something for almost every mood and preference, from healthy options to satisfying late-night food, and that variety makes it appealing to mixed groups. You’ll notice that vegan and vegetarian options aren’t treated as an afterthought here, which is refreshing, and they sit comfortably alongside classic favorites that suit everyday dining. Drinks are equally well covered, with a selection that includes coffee for daytime visits, plus beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits when the evening rolls in, creating an easy transition from afternoon to night. This range makes Melisi practical for spontaneous plans, informal catch-ups, or even solo visits when you want something reliable, familiar, and consistently enjoyable throughout the week, for locals and visitors alike. Service flows naturally and supports the overall vibe, giving you the sense that the team understands how people actually like to eat and socialize, without overcomplicating the experience. Melisi feels like a restaurant that fits into everyday life rather than demanding a special occasion, offering quality, choice, and convenience in a way that feels natural and easy to enjoy.

Tried the Ortolana pizza, which is originally vegan, with mushrooms, aubergine, onions, basil, sundried tomatoes, and olives. I added mozzarella on top and it was absolutely delicious. We also had the Peperonata (vegan) with roasted peppers, onions, and basil. The staff were helpful and happy to tweak the ingredients as my friend didn’t like mushrooms. There was no queue, though service was a little slow. Still, it was worth the wait. Parking on the nearby side street was a bit tricky. Loved this place for a proper wood fired pizza.
Overall: Food: Neapolitan (Southern Italian) Not my preferred style of pizza so I can’t and won’t down rate it because of that. A strong four stars overall though for this Ruislip pizzeria with a decent pasta menu and open kitchen which is a nice to see. Very good, helpful and attentive service. Great for families. What I liked: • Nice clean, bright restaurant • Friendly, helpful service • Nice, tasty pasta • Short but decent wine list priced well • Generally good price points What I didn’t like: • The ‘focaccia’ is more like pizza bread and not proper focaccia at all which was disappointing and priced too high for what you get. • High price point for the pizzas especially for one out of central London with much lower overheads Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price Point: $$
Early dinner for two at Melisi in Ruislip (our local Italian). My wife had the Saporita pizza and I had the Pasta Salsiccia e Tartufo. Both dishes were excellent our the total bill was about £36. Highly recommended.
