The service is good and regular checks by the waiters. A variety of healthy food option with indications on the menu.Preparation of the food took quite a bit of time and food lacks flavor. Some of the meals are for people with an acquired taste. Menu has a few draughts on but on Stella Artois available. Glasses hung up to dry, are visibly dirty.The area is nice and open with a nice atmosphere.

Had an enjoyable meal here yesterday. Our waiter was friendly and pleasant. The meal took forever though even though we were there before the lunch rush. An overall ok experience, but didn’t think it was amazing.

Went yesterday (27 April) with my 2 kids. We all ordered a pizza each, but then had to wait 40 minutes before they arrived. I really feel that the female waitress could have been more attentive to our needs as she was slow & full of excuses… The pizzas came and they were lovely, although I had to ask for more parmesan cheese as the first was so inadequate (see image)…

This is definitely my favorite restuarant, the food is always fresh and yummy, the dishes are well prepared and smell delicious. Im never disappointed by the food here. Food is also very decently priced for the proportions served.

Went with a friend for lunch time pizza. Mine was okay, with minimal chicken topping, not great. Hers (chicken and RAW mushroom) was a bit too salty. Not the ideal place to go to for pizza if you do not eat pork, too many pork topping options. Good atmosphere.

Last night called at 6-23pm and placed an order and was told to collect in 20 minutes. Went at 6-45pm and waitress says order is coming out pls wait 5 for minutes. At 7-05pm ask for manager to explain why order is taking 45minutes, he says waitress forget to place order. Absolutely terrible service. Shocking service, restaurant was not even busy Had about 10 people sitting inside and she forget to place order then lies about it

Do you love Italian food ? If you answered yes you will absolutely love Colcacchio 😀😀😀 some carbonara some cheesy pizza and italian bread. The food is always absolutely fresh and their portions are generous.One other thing as of this review being published...Colcacchio has a special every tuesday where by you can buy one pizza and get one free😀😀😀 Enjoy

Although sevice was excellent..the store needs more waiters. We are vegetarian and enquired whether utensils are kept separately. Manager personally came and reassured us that he will oversee our pizza been prepared. It would be nice if they can introduduce more vegan options like vegan chicken etc

My wife and I always enjoy our meal at ColCacchio in Gateway. This time, we took the, well, not-so-little kids along as well. The toppings on the pizza are always fresh - some still have an element of crunchiness (if thats even a word) 🙂 The staff are incredibly friendly to boot! So, to sum up : the foods good, the staffs good. What else is there? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A awesome menu served by a friendly compliment of staff. Has a family vibe about it. You wont go wrong.Edit: On my third visit; they seemed quiet understaffed as customers were complaining of delays with orders.

Awesome pizza. The half and half option is just perfect to try out something new. A variety of unique options for toppings. Simply delicious.I recently had my second visit to this restuarant, and I must say that the service was excellent.

Apparently it’s a chain but I’m new to SA so none the wiser.Fantastic salad selection!! And even a low carb section for those of us (trying) to bant.Coffee was great, service friendly. Borderline slow, but it’s absolutely packed in here at the moment.Would definitely come again just for the salad variety.

Visited colcacchio gateway over the weekend with my wife, i must say the service was great, the lady manager was exceptional, she was very helpfull, full of jokes & full of life, everytime she came to the table she left us laughing. The food was excellent we had salads it was an experience to remember. I will definitely be going back there again & very soon. Thank you Colcacchio gateway

Review №33

The nacho libre, for those who love avo, is the ONE! It’s chicken, avo and sour cream, reminiscent of Mexican food on a pizza. It’s a bit pricey and worth it. The crust is thin, crisp it and soft at the same time...and the fact that it’s wood oven pizza gives it that extra flare of authenticity. For vege lovers there are some great options, the caramlized onion on the principessa is to die for. You can’t go wrong here.

The food and wait staff service was great, but unfortunately the milkshake we ordered for our toddler arrived with a big shard of glass in it, when we brought this to the attention of the manager he said he would investigate but we never saw him again, and when our bill arrived it included the cost of R44 for a vanilla milkshake, which we paid. Wont ever be back.

Really really great pizzas, a nice setting and a warm buzz going on. Our waiter was really kind, and took care of all our strange requests without blinking an eyelid. The half n half pizzas allow you to get all the flavours at a very reasonable price. Been to various Col Cacchios around the country and its always been a great experience. Thanks guys!

Review №58

Great food. Good service. Been here a few times. This night though we were advised their card machine was down and we had to go get cash from the ATM. I asked if their Zapper is working and they said yes it is. My issue why did they not inform clients they can use Zapper rather than only having to pay CASH only. Seemed a bit dodge to me.

Review №59

Food is great! The menu had too many options, at least 20 different types of pizza to choose from, so it definitely took a while to make a decision. Our waitress rushed us quite a bit and eating there got a little uncomfortable due to the rush.But all in all, it was a nice little restaurant with good food.

I always seem to order pizza here, so cant comment on anything else. Pizzas are always great here. The service is good, the staff are very friendly. Good place for a family / friends gathering. Prices a little high maybe but acceptable. Tuesday is buy one get one free on pizzas and they also have a loyalty program that you can join. I think how it works, is you get a percentage of your bill as a discount on your next visit.

Such amazing food. I had a pizza, Mom had an animal leg in a spectacular tomato sauce (that she is still raving about). Him had a large serving of tastey pasta. Baby enjoyed herself too. Service was great.

Such a great variety of common and more unusual pizzas. Great concept to offer half and half pizza so you can share with someone who wants another type of pizza. Super selection of wines. A good franchise. This branch has good service too.

Anderson, our waiter, was great! The food was exactly what we were looking for... Tasty, fresh, hot! Pizza base was nice and thin, and deliciously crispy. The pasta had the right balance of pasta and filling. I definately recommend them!

Tonight the food quality was very average and of the five meals ordered the waiter got three right. It was disappointing and frustrating. Usually ColCacchio is a good night out but not this time. Must do better.

Review №69

This was my first time at this store.There was a distinct feeling of a lack of management this morning (which is sad, because ColCacchio sells a great product, and Ive only had good experiences at other stores). The cappuccinos were cold, one pizza arrived with one of the toppings missing, the replacement topping was brought to us cold on a side plate, we had to request condiments (which come standard on the table), and one of the menus was missing one of the main pages. These are not reasons to never return (after all the pizzas were delicious, and the coffee great when it was hot), but they do smack of lazy management.

Review №70

Always an amazing place to spend time with the family! Our waiter was excellent, full of energy and knew the menu well. However, it was a disappointment to find out certain pizzas werent available. Secondly, we had a vegetarian at the table who ordered a suitable pizza only to find pieces of chicken on top. This was a massive disappointment.

Review №81

Good service,and the 2 pizzas were pretty good. Issues I found it difficult to understand, why I cannot replace one of the ingredients for another without being charged,and that is why only a 3 star.I feel I dont need the restaurants to tell me what ingredients to have .If you build your own pizza from scratch it works out a lot more expensive.My wife ordered the special pizza which came with a salad, what salad comes without tomatoes,this one did.Atmosphere good.

My first time experience at this place really surprised me! Firstly I came there very hungry, irritable and undecided (as I was unfamiliar with their menu). Leah (our waitron) was super patient, I chopped and changed a lot!!! And finally I decided on the zucchetti pesto with chicken. Needless to say that I cant remember the last time I was so satisfied with a restaurant meal! Thanks to Leah and Angel you guys made my day!

Best wood oven pizza around Umhlanga. Thin crispy base. Can order ahead and pick up later. Slightly pricy than ordinary pizza places. Something different and new
