Casa Bella Loftus - Pretoria

The pizzas are a highlight and definitely worth trying. In South Africa, many pizzeria owners struggle to master the art of true Neapolitan pizza dough, but Casa Bella nails it. The dough features a traditional thin, crispy center and a delightful, chewy crust. While the toppings are more creative and adventurous than you'd find in Naples, they complement the base beautifully. I highly recommend the classic Margherita, particularly the Bufala Margherita with sweet Italian mozzarella—it's simple yet exquisite, reminding us why this dish was named after the Queen of Italy. Another pizza worth trying is the Gorgonzola, but I would steer clear of the Sardinian option. On the drinks side, they serve a beer called Alpha Warehouse, which comes highly recommended. A unique highlight is the complimentary fritti they serve at your table—deep-fried pizza dough balls that are so delicious and fulfilling that they put traditional rolls and breadsticks to shame. You’ll be left wondering why you’ve never tasted these delightful snacks before. Of course, like all great things, a meal at Casa Bella comes with a price tag of about R200 per person, excluding appetizers or dessert. Overall, I would rate this restaurant highly for its outstanding pizza and fast, friendly service.

Comfortable Italian food you want to come back to. My wife for dinner at Casa Bella and we had a great evening. The food is fantastic, I had the gorgonzola pizza that was one of the best pizzas I ever tasted. She had the pulled pork paste that was even better. The service was over 5 stars thanks to our waitress Charity, which was just great. I can recommend this restaurant as one of the best. Thanks to Dave, who monitors things and makes us feel at home. Go on!

Nice food. And very accommodating for special events such as anniversary or birthdays. The waiters are always friendly and super attentive.

This is my 3rd unpleasant visit to Casa Bella loftus park...I always have to wait the longest time for my food...45min for a starter
