86 public

86 public offers tasty pizza, with a fantastic variety of toppings, spreads, and bases (the beer base with peppadew spread, for example). this, coupled with the urban chic setting that has become synonymous with braamfontein, makes for an altogethergoodafternoon out in the heart of jozi.

great for late lunch or dinner on a thursday-saterday with friends!!! ambiance is amazing pizza isgoodand the cocktails as well.
it's a small space but it's a great place to chill

i don't like the location and atmosphere at all.

however, the service isgoodand the pizzas aren't half bad. it is sad that pizzas are the only thing you can order.

it's also on the entertainer app which is great.

lovely warm smell of the open woodfired pizza oven soon as you enter (the ash does drift out and over the restaurant and you get covered in it if you sit close to the oven, but the waiters make sure to wipe things down.) the #saladpizza gets too mushy in the middle so not a great idea - better to have the foccacia separately from the salad. good, fresh ingredients cooked well, very nice.goodservice. didn't taste the rosemary or lavender in the #lavender, rosemary and rose mojito and it was a bit sweeter than a mojito should be, but otherwise nice. will return for the chickpea salad, cheeseless veg pizza (choice of 3 bases and sauces) and to try the other cocktails. oh, and thursday lunchtime you get a large pizza for r70 or 3 large pizzas for r200! definitely a must try for that authentic woodfired taste.

good! such an easy flowing & clean ambience, the service was super friendly & attended to all requests, lastly the pizza 😋 it wasgoodbut a bit on the dry side sadly.

was at this joint for a quick drink which turned out to be the whole nite its a vibe place wit nice music andgoodfood you must try number 21

i am going to make another really audacious statement and call this restaurant the best pizza place in johannesburg. every time i go, i am amazed at how great their pizza is. it may even taste better with visit.

this is an adorable little pizza place that is placed well in braamfontein. it isn’t really big, which is perfect because it allows everyone to get the treatment they deserve, and make sure all pizzas are made to perfection. i would recommend it for summer afternoons when the sun is out to play. there is a lot of outside seating so it is better when it is warmer to avoid a cold date out. as often stated, the smaller the restaurants the more they allow for more personal interactions.

the restaurant would be great for people who are coming together for an informal business meeting, or a cute lunch date with a friend or a partner, or agoodplace to eat when trying to show someone a day out around johannesburg and need agoodplace to eat. it is perfect for those small interactions that aren’t meant to last really long, just long enough to have a meal. it allows for deep conversations to occur because you have no one else to listen to but the person you are with. so it is ideal if you’re looking for that. there are also many business offices around so it would be col for a lunch break, you don’t always have to have a deeper reason to eat out.

there were people of many different types at the restaurant so it would be unfair to limit it to a certain type of group. it is obviously important that you come with a pizza lover so they get to enjoy the greatness the food has to offer but either than that, it is pretty much a free for all. i would typically associate braamfontein as a student area due to the several students roaming around because of the convenience, as well as for the alternative adults who are looking for a lunch break. so this place could interest them more than others.
pizza by itself is already life changing, but it might even touch your soul when bought from this fine place.

the atmosphere here is great. very electric and youthful.

although it's a pizzeria, i didn't feel like pizza at the time so i ordered a chicken salad which was fantastic. full of flavor.

the cocktail i ordered (plain daiquiri) was reallygoodtoo. quite a unique taste actually.

the service was reallygoodand the staff are very friendly.

it's the perfect place to catch up with friends, especially late afternoon when it comes alive.

was there on saturday afternoon & had the salad pizza & it was too good. the service isn't so great, waiters aren't really attentive. butgoodand vibe

oh yes, this place hit the mark. it's very casual, allows for lots of people watching, their pizza menu offered a wide range of really different pizzas and the watermelon and cherry mojito i had was amazing! both of our pizzas were incrediblygoodand the only reason we didn't sit around all day into the evening was because it got a bit chilly outside. the tunes that were played rather loudly in the afternoon were very vibey and people were clearly enjoying the music. my only negative comments are that the place is rather small and getting a table even at 3pm is an issue. the waitresses didn't try too hard to make a plan for us even though a few tables were reserved and stayed that way with no arrivals. we thus didn't get a table at first and needed to walk around the area for 15 minutes before coming back and then managed to snatch a reserved table that the waitress then allowed us to sit at. also, the high tables and chairs are pretty uncomfortable so opt for a normal table with normal chairs if you can. and my last tip, book ahead if possible. but otherwise, awesome!

we've tried to check out this restaurant before but it's always crazy busy on a saturday afternoons on. an impromptu late brunch with a friend on a calm saturday morning was some prettygoodtiming. we had a pizza and chicken salad. the salad has such a fantastic dressing and tasted so fresh! the pizza had lovely fresh ingredients and garnishing. worth the wait.

i was there on a saturday afternoon a week ago. the waiters welcomed us quite well and we took a table that was outside because all the tables inside were occupied. it got cold quite quickly so we requested to move inside which we did without too many issues. the outside tables give you a view of the busy street with people passing around, taking pictures chatting etc..it's agooddistraction.

we went there for a pizza and we received a reallygoodpizza. their ingredients were fresh and the chicken on the pizza tasted quite nice. i have no negative critics about the pizza that we ordered. really reallygoodpizza. looking forward to tasting two or three other pizzas from 86.

the restaurant is very warm inside with their tall windows and comfortable chairs. the wood oven is a few meters away which is the main source of heat inside, that's a +1 during winter but the speakers were just by the door so it can get pretty loud which makes it difficult to talk softly and that forces you to raise your voice to talk to your partner or friends.

if you're looking to catch a quick bite and that bite happens to be pizza then 86 public is perfect. situated in the bustling braamfontein square the energy is very hip and creative also a wonderful spot to people watch. their pizzas are delicious offering a variety of base options; gluten free, wheat free etc. the pasta dishes also lookgoodbut other than that there isn't much more variety to their menu so go with simple expectations. also a great place for coffee or lunch meetings.

hidden in the heart of braamfontein, this spot is charming and trendy. they have a decent number of pizza options for vegetarians so that's exciting. the pizza is definitely one of the best in joburg - light and thin. what's also interesting is that they make the pizza base in a variety of ways for example with beer. their wine is list isgoodbut only house wines are available by the glass which is unfortunate. the music can be really loud on weekends which can make conversation difficult.

the pizza isn't the only standout thing here. the service is great and they will always make a plan for you to get a table even when they are overflowing with people. love the food and will always go back.

great spot with great service andgoodpizza. drink options are also really good. had fun. if you go on a friday, rather book a table because it does get packed.
