Jolly Bar Pizzeria is my favourite pizza place in Diani Beach.
They have a great selection of pizza, pasta, sandwiches and grilled seafood and meat.
The pizza is thin crust, has amazing tomato sauce and homemade mozzarella cheese. They also make a 1 metre long "pizza metro" allowing you to mash up 4 of your favourite pizzas into one giant meal (ideal for 3 to 5 people).
Free delivery is available, but nothing beats having the pizza hot out of the oven!
