Established in 1992, Col'Cacchio pizzeria is a name that has become synonymous with traditionally inspired Italian food.

The Brand

This is just your typical Boy meets Girl, Boy falls in love with Girl, Boy joins forces as master entrepreneur and master restaurateur to create South Africa’s most loved eatery Story. Their vision was to build a restaurant that would serve the most mouthwatering Italian inspired meals made with love and the finest, freshest ingredients.

With artisanal wood-fired pizzas, sumptuous pastas and gourmet salads, it was not long before the Col’Cacchio magic spread far and wide. And now, 29 years later, with restaurants all over the country, the mention of Col’Cacchio sends taste buds into a wild frenzy, Col’Cacchio is the reason you crave pizza.  It’s more than a menu. It’s a celebration. A journey. A story of 29 years in the making, of love, passion, adventure and loads of pizza.

Kinga Baranowska, the brain behind the Col’Cacchio (pronounced Kol-Ka-Kio) menu, has always ensured that the restaurant serves the finest Italian inspired meals, made and sourced by Kinga herself with homemade ingredients.  Making sure every touch point from the take-away bags to the pizza boxes, from the place mats to the salt and pepper grinders, all point to the bigger, engaging personality of the eating experience, the interactive and welcoming nature of the Col’Cacchio family.

At Col’Cacchio we know in order to lead the way as a proudly African pizzeria, it can only be successfully accomplished in partnership with our franchisees.  Col’Cacchio envisions a local, regional and international landscape where franchisees are supported with resources at the best prices, training that upskills their staff and gives back to the communities they serve, operational excellence and marketing support, with an ultimate owner managed approach.

EVERYONE LOVES PIZZA AND SO DO WE!

We work hard to maintain the high level of quality artisanal food that made our first restaurant such a success.

Our menu is easily and happily adapted to any market and we have something to suit every palate and age group.
