Big Bad Wolf is probably the restaurant we've returned to the most number of times! The reason is simple, if you've got a craving for superb pizza, Big Bad Wolf will always have you covered.
As much as I actually roll my eyes at the term (and although I'm not above using it!), this is a true hidden gem. This charming and stylishly decorated pizza spot and bar is at the Crowthorne Shopping Centre, a strip mall (do we us that term in SA) just past the bigger Kyalami Corner Shopping Centre.
We popped in for an early Sunday lunch, and as usual, it was everything we needed in our lives! BBW's menu is concise, but in my mind it isn't a problem. My sentiment always is that it shows that the menu is tried, tested and perfected. Although there are only handful of pizzas on the menu, I still found it difficult to choose. The waitress obviously noticed by distress, and recommended that I take a half and half option. Yay! One half "Boris" (Tomato, Salami, Danish, Feta, Caramelized Jalapeno) and one half "Fifer" (tomato, anchovies, olives, chili). If you've got an anchovy craving to satisfy, this is it! Super tasty, just bursting with flavour! And no, I can't choose a favourite. Armed with takeaways, we vowed to be back soon! I was excited to see that they're opening a new branch at Cedar Square soon, I can't wait to check it out.
