This was my first experience of the Col Cacchio franchise so I didn't know what to expect but boy was I not disappointed. We were a family of 5 so we ordered a variety of pizzas and incredibly we enjoyed them all. I think this is probably the closest you will get to a genuinely good Italian pizza. The wood fired pizza were crisp and I really enjoyed the thin dough with the hint of burned edges. The waiters were pretty friendly and the restaurant has lovely ambiance although it was a bit noisy on the night we went, (teenagers party) but I guess it is expected in a family restaurant.
Overall great food and it is now my favorite pizza restaurant. I can't say which is my favorite pizza, so I guess I will have to go back till I find my favorite
I'm a Col'Cacchios fan and this one didn't disappoint on the first sampling. Great service as per brand norm. This time tried the current "celebrity chef challenge" special by one Nadia Jaftha. Didn't know who she was before the meal but I'm an instant fan of her work! The "Jou Ma Sala" pizza was inspired. Somewhat similar to my Col'Cacchios staple, the ever-satisfying Moghul, this was, can it be true (?!), even better.
I hope you can still get it when you're reading this. If not, there is always the Moghul...or many, many other delicious offerings. Those pizza bases are crispy perfection... and the flavour pairings unique, thoughtful and inventive deliciousness. I'm a fan.
PS. The apple tart was also very good. A unique combination of what appears to be a puffy pizza dough and tart shredded apple, with ice-cream, is truly lovely (its taste is belied by its rather plain looks!).
PPS. Never imagined a good dessert would be a PS to a meal but that just goes to show you....

I’d been hearing about Col’Cacchio’s food for years but had never eaten there – because there were no halaal stores. A few months ago, the Atholl branch became halaal. I went there with my family. The store is now certified by SANHA and is Muslim-run and managed. It is located on the first floor of the Blubird Shopping Centre, near Melrose Arch. I had always thought that the store mainly sold pizzas but I was surprised to see a lot more on the menu. Between us, we tried out the focaccia and chicken livers starters, the Tagliata Sirloin steak, the Chicken Milanese, and of course, the pizzas. There were so many tempting flavours to taste that it was difficult to choose a flavor. Fortunately, there’s a half and half option available, so I chose a half Moghul (butter chicken) and half Nacho Libre (jerk spiced chicken, sour cream, home-made guacamole, tomato chilli salsa). We also had a Margherita, my son’s standard pizza choice. Desserts were chocolate brownies and cheesecake and there was a selection of mocktails and milkshakes. All the food was excellent, the spicing just right, and the textures perfect. The service from Sibongile, our waitress, was some of the best restaurant service I’d ever experienced and the manager, Rizwan, was friendly and hands-on. Col’Cacchios is definitely going to become one of our new favourite restaurants in #Johannesburg. If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favour and go there.
Pizza and pastas are delicious with chocolate milkshake. Service is good and nice people who serve and very nice location and I want to come back.
Halaal friendly owned Col cacchio that recently became Halaal. Food was good but not the greatest as the pizza dough was slightly under and not crispy. The food also got served a tad bit late after waiting a while and it was cold. The best brownies were served up at this restaurant though and our waiter Blessing was friendly indeed. Hopefully will try to dine here again.
Everything was great. Ordered margerita,moghul which is an indian style that had butter chicken and fried onion ,inferno which is the prawn one ,the jamaican jerk had a jerk seasoned chicken with guacamole and a drizzle of a white sauce pizza-these were the pizza choices we decided on after reading through the menu items and it was the waiter"s the recommendation too .the picture is an oriental salad. Didnt get to take pics of pizzas
Col'cacchio absolutely divine. Best Pizza, best pasta 😋😋😋 Love that they have a kids menu. Kids are given pizza dough to roll and a few cutters which gets baked for them to eat. Then given colors to color on brown paper which is set ontop of the table cloth. We ordered a kiddies pasta with only cream and cheese. My daughter only eats it that way.
Hubby and I ordered the moghul which is a butter chicken pizza and other half was a nacho libre. For pasta we had the cielo. Our new foodie spot.
I love col'cacchio's pizzas and this specific branch is my favourite. We're often here and have never been disappointed. They use good quality ingredients and have wheat & gluten free options. The service is excellent too.

I often came here before I became vegan, it was always good.
Now that I'm vegan, I've tried many vegan alternatives to pizza but it's all been utter trash. But col'cacchio's vegan pizzas are the bee's knees! Even if I dropped veganism, I'd smash these pizzas all day long. It's tasty and perfect. And it makes for excellent leftover pizza.
Aaand then there's the vegan dessert. Lemme not get started, but just know that it's the bomb diggity.
Only wish they had soy/almond milk options for coffee.
Love the pizza and love the location. I wish they delivered to Killarney. I order over the phone and have to collect...mission and a half. Alas I never have issues with my meal nor the service. Although they should be more proactive with packing avocado separately for customers who do take away. It's considerate.
