CNR Café & Bistro
This relaxed bistro in Craighall Park serves modern South African dishes and boasts a deli and coffee shop with croissants, but that’s not why they are on this list. We’ve obviously mentioned them because they have some awesome pizzas if you have that cheesy craving! You can take your pick from a banting or wheat-free base if you have certain dietary requirements to keep in mind, and now for the best part: picking your pizza! We love the Pesto Rubbed Haloumi Pizza with chorizo, half portion of mozzarella and onions caramelised in apple juice; and the Prosciutto Pizza topped with artichoke, rocket, Padano shavings and a balsamic reduction. Yum! So, if you’re in the area, be sure to stop by CNR Café & Bistro.
Piza ē Vino
When it comes to Piza ē Vino, Italian food is not a trend, it’s a way of life! And this is why Piza ē Vino has been celebrated as one of Johannesburg’s top pizza spots when the craving hits. Their pizzas are just SO good! Here, you can expect to indulge in flavourful pizzas, created with only the best in high quality ingredients, and the crusts are just so moreish. A few of our favourites from this beloved pizza spot includes the James Brown (chicken, bacon, guacamole, red onion, cheddar and BBQ sauce) and the Porky The Pig (pepperoni, salami, bacon, caramelised onion feta and basil).

Doppio Zero
Now matter where you are in the city, there’s bound to be a Doppio Zero somewhere, ready and waiting to serve you delicious wood-fired pizzas so you can celebrate Pizza Day with your family and friends! If you believe pineapple belongs on pizza, then you best try the Paradiso which is also topped with country ham. For something meaty and a little spicy, we’d definitely recommend the Leo Leone, topped with bacon, chorizo, mushrooms, green pepper, onion, and chilli. Or why not enjoy seafood on a pizza with their Tutti Frutti Di Mare, complete with calamari, calamari heads, prawn meat, mussels, garlic, parsley, and whole prawn(s). Stuck between two pizzas? Not a problem, order the Doppio and enjoy half of any two pizzas!
