Col'cacchio Meadowridge

The boss and I nipped out to grab an early takeaway lunch from col' caacchios.<br/ They have a really great piccolo lunch time menu, with all options being under R60, with pizzas, pastas and salads from which to choose.<br/ <br/ We got two pizzas to share; a pepperoni and their carmachi (mushrooms, carmamalised onions, fresh tomato and chilli). The pizzas are smaller than usual, but filled us sufficiently. Crispy, thin bases and a great combination of toppings on the carmachi. <br/ <br/ I see they are going to be launching a breakfast menu soon, so I will have to be back to try it out! <br/ <br/ Really friendly staff, pizzas were made in 15 minutes. Will happily return here in the future.<br/ <br/ Ps. They also do home delivery, but they do charge depending on area.

We usually order pizza from this branch which is always quite satisfying. Pizzas are fresh and delicious personal favorites include the pulled pork, the ham and mushroom or Hawaiian. <br/ <br/ I was extremely disappointed last week though when I discovered that the pasta menu was almost halved as it is a Mio branch. The only available options either had meat or a cream base which left me really upset as I was looking for a fresh tomato and vegetable option.

Last week I got an invite to my first ever #ZomatoMeetUp, and I'm so glad that this dainty little Col'Cacchio was the place where it all went down!<br/ <br/ I really liked the ambience of this Col'Cacchio. Being a fan of the franchise I've visited many, but the smaller size and the low light really give this place a romantic, relaxing feel to it. Also, service is really important to me, and honestly I couldn't fault it. We didn't sit with our empty plates long, the food came quickly and at the same time (a feat given it was a large table . <br/ <br/ Most importantly though, the food was delicious! Wow I'll say straight out that I fell madly in love with the blu formaggi pasta (blue cheese, bacon, garlic etc . Now before you run away because of the blue cheese thing, I'll let you know: I'm not a fan of blue cheese. And yet this was probably the best pasta I've had in the last year. Somehow the blue cheese doesn't overpower the flavours, and I found the combination divine. Cant wait to try it again<br/ <br/ Another highlight for me was the Foresta pizza (salami, mushroom, green pepper garlic . I love garlic, and combined with salami and mushrooms I was in my happy place. The Strega pizza (black mushroom, rosemary and garlic is also worth a try rosemary on pizza is surprisingly yum<br/ <br/ I also want to mention the moghul pizza. Essentially guys, this is the perfect pizza for when you're craving Indian food and pizza at the same time. Who knew you could satisfy both cravings, am I right? This pizza is so innovative and daring, and it really came though! Deluuuush. Of course, the salads and the dessert were good too. <br/ <br/ If you enjoy good Italian food (who doesn't? with a unique, delicious flare then this Col'Cacchio is really a great choice. And maybe don't play it too safe when you go here try something new!:

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.

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!
