I went to a pizza shop last night. When I looked up the ceiling, I saw many national flags. Please take a look at the picture.

I wrote a sentence to describe it:

National flags are hanging in the ceiling in the pizza shop.

I know it's very unnatural. Would you please help me to correct it?
 
hanging from the ceiling

We don't say pizza shop. Restaurants aren't considered shops. Say pizzeria.
 
hanging from the ceiling

We don't say pizza shop. Restaurants aren't considered shops. Say pizzeria.

"Pizza Shop" is fine in the U.S.
 
"When I looked up at the ceiling..."

National flags are hanging from the ceiling in the pizzeria.

Is the above sentence okay now?
 
It's okay, but I think you might mean to use of, not in.

Use of the pizzeria to say which ceiling you're talking about.
Use in the pizzeria to say where the flags are hanging from the ceiling.
 
When I saw national flags, I thought you meant "flags of the nation the shop is located in". I'd write the flags of many nations.
