Papachinos: Respect The Pizza. Celebrate The Family.

Joburg Admin / September 15, 2025

For over two decades, Papachinos has stood as Gauteng’s favourite family table, where food and family meet. Generations have grown up here, sharing delicious food and celebrating milestones. With wood-fired pizzas, hearty pastas, kids’ play zones, Bambino Chef classes, and warm hospitality, Papachinos blends legacy with family-friendly dining at its best.

Papachinos Keeps the Party Going (21st Specials Extended)

Humbled by the love and loyalty the community has shown, Papachinos maintains their famous 21st Birthday Specials. It's a little way to say thank you for every laugh, cheer, and memory shared around their tables. From Papachinos, to you: grazie!

A Family Table Since 2003

Papachinos isn't just a restaurant. It's South Africa's family table, where:

  • Toddlers roll their very first dough
  • Teens share shakes and friendships
  • Grandparents watch children grow, and families celebrate

For 21 Years, Papachinos has mixed old-school values with warm hospitality — serving joy as generously as their portions.

Respect The Pizza

Ah, pizza! The heart of Papachinos.

  • Wood-fired
  • Thin-crusted
  • Made with LOVE.

Every slice tells a story, from the wood-burning ovens to your table. Pizza is just the beginning: creamy pastas, hearty burgers, fresh salads, famous shakes, even sushi! This is food that's generous, joyful, and made for making memories.

Celebrate The Family

Papachinos is more than food — it’s the people. Families at Sunday lunch. Kids becoming Bambino Chefs. Teens growing up with laughter. Loyal staff who treat guests like part of the family. Every smile, every bite, every moment is part of thestory.

The Classics

Some dishes never go out of style — they become traditions. Think steaming pasta, stacked burgers, fresh salads, and decadent milkshakes. Families order them again and again, sharing plates with old friends. Midweek dinner or Sunday feast, Papachinos serves food that’s full of flavour, comforting, prepared with the best ingredients, and always made with love.

Weekly Rituals: Mafia Mondays & Teddy Tuesdays

Mondays mean Mafia Mondays — half-price pizza and pasta to start the week right. Tuesdays belong to the kids with Teddy Tuesdays, when your little ones eat free.

Weekly Rituals: Wednesdays BIG DEAL Burger Bash & Breakfast Specials

By Wednesday, it’s all about Papa’s original burgers: stacked, juicy, and just R95, with your choice of a delicious sauce, plus chips or a side salad.

Mornings bring hearty breakfasts with coffee on the house, Monday to Friday. These aren’t just specials — they’re family traditions, turning ordinary weekdays into unforgettable memories.
