Col'cacchio Meadowridge

The Col'Cacchio pizzeria in Bergvliet only opened it's doors recently so there are some teething problems like not having a liquor license yet (you are allowed to bring your own drinks or get from the restaurant next door).<br/ <br/ The food was great, but I am most impressed by the fact that you can substitute the cheese on your pizza with pure goats cheese perfect for the lactose intolerant or people with milk allergies.<br/ <br/ We had the Torello salad a must! Pear, brie cheese, biltong, roasted onion, caramelized seeds and vinaigrette served on a bed of fresh rocket this is huge so best to share. I also had the celebrity chef pizza pizza for November out of this world! Who does not love a good pizza and they have soooo many options to choose from!

Col' Cacchio has an excellent selection of pizza and pasta to delight the taste buds. I attended their Zomato foodie meetup and was most impressed. We were well looked after and I have no complaints what so ever. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable regarding the individual dishes. The decor made me feel very at home and comfortable. Quite nice. Now to the food! The salads were excellent. The biltong salad was sublime. Im not much of a salad eater and I tore into it like a hipster vegan devours an organic heirloom tomato grown on his low impact balcony garden. The pizzas are not your usual fare and tend to the gourmet side. Very interesting toppings indeed. I wolfed down everything set before me. The shredded beef pasta was quite delicious. I could imagine this shredded beef on a pizza with some tzatziki just blowing my mind. Wink wink. The dessert was fantastic. I really have nothing to whine about. Will definitely revisit this establishment. On a side note the conversation with the other foodies was hilarious and informative. I had no idea of the plight of the Mauritian lillies which is now my main concern in life.

Last week I was treated to a zomato meetup at col cacchio mio which I was very excited for, I have always loved their pizza's! I have a few favourites that I stick to though so when I saw the menu I was glad to see only dishes I hadn't had before. To start with we had some truly tasty salads my favourite by far the one with biltong in it. Seriously the best salad I can remember eating! We progressed onto a few pizza's for mains which I definitely over extended myself as I had to try all of them. Between pulled pork, indian butter chicken and a lot more impressive flavour combinations I honestly can't pick a favourite. Dessert was a chocolate brownie I think with Ice cream. The brownie was still warm in the centre, and tasted great! I love this franchise more and more each time I visit! Thank you for the invite Zomato, I had a great time!

I love Col'Cacchio, but until now had never tried this branch. We were treated to a variety of salads to start my favourite being the Brie and biltong (right? although everything was very tasty. On to the pizzas: all of them were great but my absolute best was the butter chicken pizza. OMG. I could live on it! I was also super impressed to hear that they make all their dough on the premises, and roll out each base as it's needed. No pre made nonsense here. We also got to try some of their signature pastas, and although I'm not usually a fan of pasta in general, there's a lot to be said for their shredded beef version. Lastly, dessert was served, and it was perfection in the form of a chocolate melting masterpiece. In fact, this pudding is proudly made at this branch according to the manager's recipe and supplied to other Col'Cacchios around town. I was well impressed by this fact, and pretty much by everything else! Do yourself a favour and give it a try if you like in the Southern Suburbs.

Meadowridge has many young families with young children and this place caters for that. There is a large outside area with umbrellas and a play area for kids. I had salami, mushroom, feta and garlic pizza(forget the name) which was average size and at R130 maybe a bit expensive. It had loads of cheese, salami and sliced mushrooms so maybe R130 is not too bad? The base was very thin but crispy and remained firm which was impressive! Enjoyed the coffee and the pizza. And I must mention that the service from Gideon was fantastic. He has a huge smile making you feel like he is happy to serve you!
