Two brands, one famiglia

However you eat — we've got a kitchen for it.

Sit-down trattoria. Delivery-first GO. Same wood-fired heritage, same secret-recipe dough.

Sit-down

Col’Cacchio
Pizzeria

The original. Thirteen restaurants from the Foreshore to Florida Road, serving wood-fired pizzas, pasta and salads in the warmth of a proper Italian-South African trattoria. Reserve a table; bring the famiglia.

Col’Cacchio
GO

Built for delivery. The Mega format — 45cm pizzas and big-share pastas — dialled in for Uber Eats and Mr D so the gather-round-the-table experience travels intact. Direct ordering on letsorder, with Click and Collect, too.

Our story

Love at first bite,
and every bite since.

It started in Cape Town in 1992 — Kinga Baranowska and Michael Terespolsky, a passion for crafting something more than just a meal, and a tiny pizzeria with a wood-fired oven.

Three decades later we're still doing it the same way. Italian inspiration, South African heart. Hand-stretched dough, blistered crusts, fresh produce, and recipes you'll only find on our menu.

Buon appetito,
Kinga & Michael
