La Pizza · Wood-Fired by Hand

A perfectly thin, crispy base, blistered by the fire

Every base is stretched and fired by hand by Connie Mahlanyana, La Capannina's expert pizza maker — thin, crisp, and blistered in the wood-fired oven.

“The pizza was next level. A perfectly thin, crispy base, generous toppings, and absolutely divine flavour — every bite was a delight. You can taste the quality and care that goes into the food.”
