The Italians knew exactly what they were doing when they created pizza. This delicious dish has seen many variations over the years with a few even spurring a number of heated debates (pineapple anyone?).
Thankfully, we don’t have to travel halfway across the world to enjoy a scrumptious slice of our favourite Italian dish since Cape Town is brimming with incredible and authentic Italian restaurants all serving up some gooey goodness – pineapples included.
Here are 5 pizza spots to check out:
Bacini’s Pizzeria and Deli
Bacini’s has been serving mouth-watering pizza since 1989, so sit back and relax because they know exactly what they’re doing. Along with a range of pizza combinations to get your foodie heart pumping, tradition is at the forefront of everything Bacini’s does, offering an authentically Italian meal – no matter what you choose on the menu.

Massimo’s
You can never go wrong when tucking into the ‘best pizza in Cape Town’ and that’s exactly what you’ll get when visiting Massimo’s. Run by owners Massimo and Tracy, the duo brought their Italian cooking background to the shores of Cape Town, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Enjoy thin crusted pizza bursting with flavours and a very special treat for good samaritans looking to tuck into pasta and pizza while doing more for impoverished communities. A portion of the sales from their pizza and pasta options are given to numerous charities with the restaurant raising more than R80 000 so far.
