Salami Pizza in Side — Wood-Fired at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

The Salami pizza at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a straightforward, honest classic: salami and cheese on our thin-crust, 33cm Italian-style base, baked over a real wood fire in the heart of Side old town. No fuss, no gimmicks — just a crisp, well-charred pizza done the way it should be.

What the Salami pizza is at Hawaii

This one keeps it simple. Our Salami is built on the same thin-crust, 33cm base we use across the whole pizza menu — rolled thin so the edges blister and crisp rather than puff up doughy. On top: cheese, melted until it pulls, and salami. That's the dish. If you're the sort of person who orders a pizza and quietly resents it when it arrives buried under a dozen competing toppings, this is your order.

Because it goes into a genuine wood fire rather than a conveyor oven, the crust picks up that faint smoky char along the rim and the underside crisps up properly. Thin-crust means you get more of that crackle in every slice and less heavy dough sitting in your stomach afterwards — a good thing when you're eating on a Side summer evening and still want room for dessert.

How we serve it

The Salami comes as a full 33cm pizza — a proper personal-to-shared size, generous enough that two people happily grazing over drinks can make it work, or one hungry person can claim the whole thing. It's cut and brought out hot from the fire, cheese still bubbling at the edges. We build every pizza to order with ingredients prepped fresh that day, so what lands on your table is made when you ask for it, not reheated.

We're an English-speaking, international kitchen in Side old town (512. Sk., Manavgat), grilling over wood and charcoal since 2000, open every day from 10:00 to 02:00. So whether the Salami is a light lunch, an early dinner or a proper late-night craving, the fire's on.

Who it's for — and when to order it

The Salami is the pizza you order when you don't want to overthink it. It's a brilliant pick for kids who like their food recognisable, for anyone easing into the menu, and for the pizza purist who believes salami and cheese is peak form and everything else is showing off. It also travels well, which makes it a smart choice for takeaway or delivery to your hotel nearby.

Order it as a solo lunch, as one of several shared pizzas for a group (it's the reliable crowd-pleaser everyone agrees on), or as your late-night anchor after a night out — we're serving until 2am. Pair it with a couple of our other pizzas and a plate of starters and you've got an easy table for the whole family.

What to drink with it

Salami and cheese wants something crisp and cold alongside it. A cold beer is the natural companion — clean, refreshing, and easy against the salt of the salami. If you'd rather have wine, the Turkish wine list is worth a look; a red stands up nicely to cured meat, while a chilled white keeps things lighter on a warm evening.

Feeling like a holiday? Our signature Blue Hawaii or a frozen cocktail turns pizza night into something a bit more festive. Kids get their own alcohol-free cocktails, so nobody's left out. Time it right and you'll catch our daily Happy Hour, 19:00–20:00.

How it fits the wider menu

The Salami sits within a full pizza line-up, all on the same thin-crust 33cm base. If you like the idea but want a little more punch, look at our Pepperoni pizza; if you're pizza-hopping around the menu, the best pizza guide for Side maps out your options. Feeding a family? Our family pizza night and vegetarian pizza pages help you round out the order. And it all comes off the same wood fire and charcoal grill that runs the rest of our kitchen.
