Massimo’s in Hout Bay and Ferdinando’s in Observatory have both landed on a list celebrating the world’s best pizzas.
Cape Town, South Africa (03 January 2023) – Two South African restaurants, both based in the Western Cape, have landed on the “50 Best Pizzas in the World” list which was compiled by Big 7 Travel. They get over 1.5 million people from 60 countries to take surveys and vote for the best travel accolades worldwide. Big 7 Media shares several lists which aim to promote global travel.
Late last year, they announced the winners of the pizza awards for 2022 and today, we celebrate the two South African businesses that made the cut.
Restaurant inclusions were ranked based on several factors:
- Crust, Sauce & Cheese
- Value for money
- Consistency (google and critic reviews)
- Innovation
- Atmosphere
- Location and Accessibility
- Big 7 Travel writer suggestions and previous awards
Hout Bay’s Massimo’s landed at number 45 on the list.
“At Massimo’s, the pizzas are Roman-style with ultra-thin and crusty crusts, topped with seasonal ingredients and served with a smile. Many of the dishes are inspired by Massimo’s home town in Piemonte, such as the Alba, made with garlic butter, soft cheese, mushrooms and truffle cream. There are at least ten vegetarian and vegan pizzas, as well as all the classics. If you’re travelling with little ones, there’s a separate kids menu and a jungle gym outside too, so you can tuck into your pizza without any unnecessary distractions.”

Ferdinando’s earned 31st place on the list.
“The pizzas at Cape Town’s much-loved pizzeria are wood-fired, made with Italian flour and topped with the freshest ingredients. If you’re veggie or vegan you’ll be well served here too: there are over 20 different vegetarian pizzas on the menu, as well as the ‘Vegana’, made with a thick tomato based and topped with sesame seeds, peppers, baby marrow, cherry tomatoes, avocado, aubergine and caramelised onion jam. Sounds like an enjoyable way to pack in our five a day!”
