Pizza Shed

$$$

Offering what are easily some of the greatest pizzas on the peninsula, this branch of the much-loved Cape Town chain provides Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas that feature carefully sourced ingredients and never over-the-top toppings. Choices are pretty straightforward rather than overcomplicated, so you get to taste the components properly, including the crusts with their distinctive smoky flavor. A solid favorite is the simple Truffle, bedecked with exotic mushrooms and sprinkled with truffle oil to create an aroma and subtle umami flavor you will dream of long after, but anchovy lovers should order The Salt without hesitation. The venue is bright and friendly, just like the service, and there's usually an unmissable lunchtime special.
