Big Bad Wolf Eatery — Restaurant in Gauteng

This little piggy isn’t afraid of the Big Bad Wolf in fact she boldy went there and indulged in some great Pizza and Desserts!

This quaint Pizza shop in situated in Crowthorne Shopping Centre. It has been years since I was last this side of town. It’s got a limited menu i.e 10 Pizza options, and I would say that the types of Pizza’s on offer are more for the adventurous kind of palette, as it’s not your usual toppings.  They also have 3 types of Salads and 2 Desserts, and then cocktails.

To start off with Drinks, I noticed the Moscow Mule on the menu (single batch imported Vodka, Lime Juice, Ginger Beer and Soda.) So I couldn’t say no to this, even though between Pete and Lee, they mentioned a new cocktail called the Black Widow, which my sister decided to give it a try. Activated Charcoal, Spiced Rum, Triple Sec, Lime juice, Honey Syrup, Agnostura Bitters, finished off with Egg Whites. It tasted ok, I wasn’t completely sold, even though it looked stunning, I much rather enjoyed my Moscow Mule.

As you know I am a bacon lover, I had to order the “Percy” – Tomato, Streaky Bacon, Roasted Asparagus (yes I was skeptical about this part), Caramelised Red Onions, Danish Feta, Avo, and Fior Di Latte Mozzarella. Gorgeous looking Pizza, thin base crust, amazing aromas, and loved the combination of the toppings, and my bacon was cooked properly. The Asparagus was luckily the baby ones, so it wasn’t a major feature on the pizza.  My sister had the “Boris” Tomato, Salami, Danish Feta, Caramelised Jalapeno Chilli as well as the Mozzarella. Also, lovely thin crust, amazing flavour and my sister loved it. We didn’t polish off the entire pizza, as we wanted to try the desserts, so we asked Lee for one of each. Beautifully presented, perfectly executed, the smell from the Passion Fruit was lovely, and it had that “sexy” wobble as one of my fellow foodies like to call it.  I think the only issue we had was the Crème Brulee’s caramelized sugar topping was a bit too hard to “crack”, but it terms of texture and taste it was spot on.

To end off the meal, Pete convinced us to try there locally roasted Coffee’s. So we both had a Cappuccino, personally it was a bit too strong for me, but for the Coffee lovers, it will be a goodie.

Thanks to Sune, Pete and Lee, for a lovely afternoon, Fabulous Pizza’s and indulgent Dessert.

Happy to know there is another branch opening In Cedar Square soon, so go and check em...

Staff need training. The waiters don't understand what "vegan" means or what the vegan options are. We were actually sent to another restaurant before asking the manager. The male waiters don't listen to instructions. The waiters and manager stood "skinnerring" about us in full view and earshot. The pizza dough is under salted but the rosemary is a nice touch. The condiments are cheap. Not real garlic. Awful slimy pickled chilies. Lacked authenticity or flavor. Considering the above two points, the pizza is over-priced. The decor is different, original. After insisting on Gugu/Precious serving us - she was friendly and efficient. We would probably not return for an eat-in but might have considered take away if the cost was market related. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Yours sincerely, Italian Every-Day...

We had a horrible sit down experience. From the time we entered, the waiters were unengaged, chatting and drinking coffee. It wasn't that busy, but the precedent set was unprofessional and uninviting. The food was also poor. I ordered the slow roasted lamb panini which hardly had any lamb. The spicy slaw was 70% mayonnaise with lettuce. My wife initially ordered mozzarella and Parma Ham, we were told they don't have Buffalo Mozzarella and can substitute for Bocconcini - not the same thing. We then asked if they have Fior Di Latte, which they are meant to put on all their pizza, to which they said yes, and when I asked if it was also the ball, they said no (so...
