alfie's pizzeria & deli

the new village is the melville of pretoria! with places like alfie's its stunning! the pizza bases are light, crisp, and the simplistic interior makes you think you are in a cuterestaurantsomewhere in rome! all pizzas are great! the staff are all very friendly! some dishes might be a bit pricey! but then again its quality!

we came for a sunday lunch and the atmosphere in this area (hazelwood village) makes you feel as if you are somewhere in a european city. 

we were offered two focaccias on the house, which was a generous gesture to start with.
for mains we had the classico and salsiccia paninis, and honestly we expected a bit more. we felt that the ciabattas was a tad on the small side - for the price we paid. nothing wrong with the flavours and ingredients though.

we also ordered the faggotino - the rump steak calzone. this meal was a real disappointment, as the calzone contained about 4 reaps of steak - not even close to the indicated 200g on the menu.

the frutti di mare (seafood) pizza was brilliant, abundance of toppings and all round a great pizza.

the wine is reasonably priced, we found that the spirits was a bit on the expensive side. saying that, the fact that thisrestaurant(and the village) makes you feel that you're somewhere abroad, it's worth the price to pay.

will definitely return to alfie's for a pizza!

nick and his team makes alfie’s my favoriterestaurantfor the following reasons:

the environment is always relaxed, the location is amazing, their gin cocktails are delicious, the waiters are kind and helpful and last but not least the food...ohhh the food! ask nick for the arrabbiata with prawns.

as for the people eating here: i recall one evening i spilled my glass of wine, before i evaluate the mess a gentleman came up to me and gave me some of his wine. restoring faith in humanity

thisrestaurantsituated in a fantastic culinary block in waterkloof is right up there with good food, taste and impeccable service. tried the alfies pizza and it's one of the best and most unusual pizza i have ever had. a must try and for me worth the drive from jhb.

one of three top pizza restaurants in pretoria. i’d rank alfie’s the second best pizzarestaurantin pretoria. try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed, staff is also very friendly!

the best pizza in pretoria without a doubt. the dough is phenomenal. i don't eat cheese and the staff are always so helpful in making me a cheese less pizza with my favourite toppings. the calamari accompanied by a bread salad is absolutely stunning!! the vibrance is lovely however family dinners get disturbed by the party goers therestaurantis trying to attract, making for an unpleasant situation. the time taken to receive drinks was quite slow however the food was timed well. ☺️

i went to alfie's on a saturday, there was a fair amount of people but not full, and i am quite disgusted in the service i received.

upon getting there, the waitor is blatantly rude. thereafter i order my sparkling water and he takes about 15-20 minutes to bring it.
and another 10 mins to see that everyone at my table's glasses are empty without asking if they'd like anything else to drink.
(he didn't even know the different drink therestaurantserves, and when asked he's rude)

so i finally found what i'd like to eat on the menu, which was a calamari/mussel/prawn salad, to which he said they don't have any mussels or prawns.

so i took the second option which was calamari and a carrot/celery/olive/tomato mix, and don't get me wrong the meal was good. but as soon as the service is terrible i already struggle to enjoy my meal.

i went to alfie's with high expectations, as people talk well about them and i'm sad to have received this terrible impression.

i am however, open to give them another try sometime and see if it's any different with another waitor and when they actually have the food i want.

the feel of a proper italian pizzeria which reminded me of arestaurantin naples i was recently at! service efficient and friendly! we ordered a mozzarella fior di latte pizza and i was left speechless! by far the best pizza i've had in years! the photo i've attached says it all! worth traveling to from johannesburg!

friday evening & we headed out to alfies for some pizza. after some confusion regarding our booking, the manager quickly sorted out a table for us whilst we waited outside sipping on some inverroche classic gin, topped off with tonic. (it's one of my favourites.)

the atmosphere was very pleasant. slightly on the noisy side of things inside therestaurantand made conversation a little bit difficult.

i opted for the capriciossa pizza. tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, cooked ham, artichoke hearts & calamata olives.
i must say. i am quite impressed with the standards of their pizza. i won't lie. the base is thin & crispy. cooked in the wood-fire oven. you can get that taste in the crust as it cracks in your mouth. you can taste the ingredients are fresh & crisp.

all in all, i would love to visit again soon to try out some more of their pizza. (that is me recommending the place to you...)

alfie's pizza in waterkloof is situated in the new village area. unfortunately parking is a huge problem at this stage.

therestaurantis quite nice and they are busy, so it is recommended to make a booking.

they are one of the few restaurants that hand press the pizza dough. it gives the pizza a special look. however it could have been in the wood fired oven a few seconds longer as it was a tad soggy. it looked very good though!

the service was a bit slow due to the fact that they were packed.

we would say that it is one of the better pizzerias in town.

will visit again 😄😄

comfort food galore. lekker italianrestaurantwith an amazing menu and setting.
the food was excellent and the service good.
complimentary bread for the table a bonus. we'll be back!
