If you’re looking for something cheesy and delicious in the heart of the Mother City, you can’t go wrong with the best pizza in Cape Town. The city offers woodfired, Neapolitan, and classic pizzas with countless toppings that can get your mouth watering.
But with so many restaurants to choose from, it’s hard to know where you can find the best pizza Cape Town offers. But we locals have been around the block and tasted our way through some of the best cheesy delights. Here are a couple of our favourite pizza places in Cape Town.
Best Pizza Cape Town
If you’re looking to buy pizza in Cape Town, then you need to know exactly where to do it. Unfortunately, not every restaurant offers the kind of mouth-watering delight that we’ve come to expect. These are some of the restaurants that delivered pizzas that went above and beyond the standard. Here are some of the places where you can find the best pizzas in Cape Town.
Massimo’s
If you’re looking for a casual spot to enjoy some pizza and drinks, then Massimo’s is the perfect place. The restaurant is located in the heart of Hout Bay and offers a wide selection of pizzas, pasta, and salads. The menu also has a few specialty dishes if you’re feeling adventurous. We recommend the quattro formaggi (four cheese) pizza or the frutti di mare (seafood) pizza.
The best thing about Massimo’s is that if you don’t feel like dining out, you can purchase their pizzas frozen and cook them at home. Trust me when I say they are just as good as the ones that are made in the restaurant. Massimo’s is a conscious kitchen that’s constantly thinking of the ‘have nots’.
They have a ‘pay it forward pizza slice’ that allows you to purchase a slice of pizza for someone in need. In reality, this will give people without food a chance to receive bread and other essential goods rather than pizza.
Massimo’s is not only a great conscious decision, but their pizzas are mouth-wateringly delicious and I’m certain you’ll be coming back for seconds at this wonderful restaurant.
Bin Rashied Pizza
Bin Rashied is a popular pizza place located in Wynberg & Kenilworth. The restaurant is known for its wood-fired pizzas and offers both classic and contemporary toppings. We recommend the Bin Rashied (chicken, bacon, feta, and tomato) pizza or the peri-peri chicken pizza.
Their thin base pizza is a force to be reckoned with and offers outstanding quality for the price tag. If you are looking for a cheesy slice that won’t break the bank and offer unique local flavours, then Bin Rashieds is an exceptional option.
Bossa Social Cafe
Bossa Social Cafe is located just outside of the centre of Cape Town in the heart of Milnerton and offers a wide selection of pizzas, pasta, salads, and desserts. The menu also has a few speciality dishes if you’re feeling adventurous.
Their wood-fired pizzas are made with hand-stretched dough and come standard with handcrafted Italian Pomodoro sauce. Choose between 17 delicious pizzas or make your own with the “custom build your own pizza” option.
Narona Pizza & Bar
Narona is a popular pizza place located in both Gardens & Observatory. The restaurant is known for its wood-fired pizzas and offers both classic and contemporary toppings. They have an impressive selection of pizzas for both meat eaters and vegetarians which makes it a great option for groups that have varied dietary requirements.
They also have options for those that feel like something other than pizza, with hamburger options, tramezzenis, as well as pastas, and salads.
Pomodoro Pizzeria
Pomodoro Pizzeria is a popular pizza place located in Somerset West. The restaurant is known for its wood-fired pizzas and offers both classic and contemporary toppings. Their authentic Italian pizzas come customizable to your taste, so you can rest assured you’ll be getting exactly what you want from this restaurant.
If you live in the nearby neighbourhood of Somerset West, you’ll also be able to enjoy free delivery. If you’re in the mood for something sweet after dinner, indulge yourself with one of their incredibly unique ice-cream flavours such as lychee, mango, or salted caramel.
Casa Bar Woodstock
Casa Cape Town is a popular pizzeria with several branches around Cape Town. The restaurant is known for its wood-fired pizza and offers both classic and gourmet toppings. They offer woodfired pizza that is second to none and if you can save your stomach for the late evening, you can indulge in half-price pizza between 10 pm and 11 pm.
The bar can become quite busy later in the evening, so be sure you get there in the early evening or reserve a table if you want a guaranteed spot to sit. Do note that a lot of people come to the bar to watch sports, so finding a table on match days can be challenging.
NY Slice
NY Slice offers something in the way of something a little different as you can purchase pizza per slice. But don’t get me wrong, these slices are far bigger than your average pizza slice. They offer a variety of toppings, but for the most part, they like to keep things simple so you will find margarita, pepperoni, bacon, and feta, as well as all the usual suspects.
They have a couple of locations scattered around Cape Town, so visit them in Claremont, Sea Point, or in their most popular branch located on Kloof Street.
