The well-loved family restaurant, which is located in Cape Town’s Hout Bay, has been running for a decade and continues to be one of the most popular pizza spots in the city.

Owner Massimo Orione described the 50 Top Pizza awards as the “Oscars of pizzas” on Pippa Hudson’s show on Cape Talk and revealed that this year was the first time that the 50 Top Pizza awards honoured a restaurant in Africa. The awards also recognised fantastic pizzas across in Europe, Northern America, South America, Asia, and Oceania.

Massimo’s pizzas are wood-fired at a high heat and cooked for only 90 seconds. They’re topped with everything from brie, Parma ham and truffle cream to fior di latte, anchovies and capers. The restaurant also prides itself in contributing to its community – it even has a charity pizza and pasta offering, with the restaurant donating to a cause when you order one of those dishes.

Congratulations to Massimo and his team! Here’s to many more slices of pizza!
