Fire and Ice Pizzeria
Nepal
Fire and Ice Pizzeria has brought an Italian kitchen to Kathmandu since Annamaria Forgione opened the original restaurant in 1995. The Thamel address remains closely associated with that story, welcoming travellers and local diners for pizza, pasta and an informal meal. Pizzas are rolled by hand and baked in a stone-base Italian oven. The menu also includes lasagne made with fresh pasta, a slow-cooked meat sauce, béchamel and Parmesan, alongside salads, desserts, coffee and drinks. Some dishes carry a direct connection to Nepal. A pizza with spicy meat sauce, coriander and chillies introduces local seasoning into the restaurant's Italian framework, reflecting the meeting of places behind its identity. With locations in Thamel and Sanepa, Fire and Ice offers different ways to fit a meal into a Kathmandu visit. It suits a relaxed lunch or dinner when the attraction is familiar cooking with a clear history and an individual point of view.
