"Idiosyncratic and authentically Italian, The Pizza Club is recommended as a good re-calibration in true pizza"

(Jean-Pierre Rossouw - click here for full article)

"I occasionally stumble across a place that blows me away. Massimo's Pizza Club is, by a mile, one of those restaurants...I am transported to Sunday afternoons at my Nonna. Only an Italian will understand how to make a pizza that can impress other Italians. You can taste the quality control; Massimo and Tracy are pedantic about their raw ingredients and ensuring they only have the freshest materials"

"The best value for money and fastest pizzas served in Cape Town must be those from the Pizza Club in Hout Bay"

(whale cottage portfolio blog)

"We don’t eat out at night. I wish we did... ...but all that has now changed with our belated, but happy discovery of Massimo’s Pizza Club in Hout Bay. ...if you like South African-style pizzas, don’t come here either. This is pizza for pizza purists..."

(Kathy Marston - wine editor Food24.com ) 

"Massimo takes pizza to a new level, in no small way due to his very rare ingredient which he uses liberaly, passion."

(Relax with Dax - click for full article)

"I cannot recommend the pizza (and the atmosphere) more highly.  These are no ordinary pizzas – each thin-based, artfully-topped creation is a taste-sensation, and I very much doubt you would be disappointed"

(Mother City Living website)

The Pizza Club is very much a communal celebration or a conviviality restaurant — where you share this unique experience of food and wine” (from www.iafrica.com - click here for full article)

“I haven't had such good pizza in ages! It really was special - the service, atmosphere, views to die for, just made this an amazing restaurant!” (from www.eatout.co.za - click here to read more)

“This new pizza concept in Hout Bay is unique and undoubtedly offers the best pizza in Cape Town

(from www.food24.com - click here to read more)

"Take everything you think you know about pizza and throw it out the window. These creations are paper-thin, spread with a delicious tomato sauce (the hero of the pizza) and topped sparingly with only a few ingredients. The philosophy here is that a real pizza should not be over-complicated"

(from jamiewhatshisname.blogspot.com)

"The kind of pizza that makes you drive all the way from Durbanville to Hout Bay, just for the pizza"

"...a succession of superb, thin-based pizzas with a variety of toppings, each one more delicious than the last"

(Slow Food Convivium - Cape Town)

"i really really recommend that everyone who respects food made well and with love goes to this restaurant. Massimo is clearly extremely passionate about his food and it is so nice to eat in a place where you can watch the food being made and ask the chef questions about anything and everything. Massimo and his wife were constantly walking around chatting with us and giving us information about the ingredients etc."

A VERY big thank you for hosting my 50th birthday party on Saturday night! We all had a SUPER time, and I got dozens of compliments for my choice of venue! A number of my guests told me afterwards that it was an EXPERIENCE rather than just a meal or party. I am really very, very pleased with what you offered. Thank you also for being such warm, friendly hosts and for your personal attention all through the evening. Your staff were also extremely competent and friendly. Please convey our sincerest thanks and compliments to them as well.

 Lastly, but certainly not least, I would like to thank you both for the EXCELLENT food we were privileged to enjoy! Everything went down extremely well, from the first to the very last crumb! The Limoncello and Bicerin were also received with much appreciation, everyone talking about it afterwards! I will certainly savour my gift bottle of Bicerin – thank you very much, that was such a kind gesture!

 M. & I wish you everything of the best for the future of your lovely restaurant. You definitely have a winner!" 

“Massimo and Tracy have a fabulous idea brilliantly executed with personalised, genuine service and a great feel to the place. This is a sure winner! Well done guys - we will be back on a very regular basis!”

...this is most definitely a slice above!”

“...as much top notch pizza as you can eat is revolutionary for Cape Town”

“...it was such a fun relaxed place, service very smiley and the food was really good”

“This place will undoubtedly be a winner amongst both locals and visitors, and I am delighted we have found the best pizza in CT! Thanks for a really fabulous meal!

“…pizza was awesome and the dessert was even better!

“...a little slice of heaven...”

“…gorgonzola & pear pizza… is to die for!

“…fantastic food, even for a fussy eater. Anything done to taste. 10 out of 10...

“…a fantastic experience... to be repeated. Thanks for a memorable evening of gastronomic delight

“…Colin never liked pizza until he tried Massimo's...

“…the yummiest pizza I ever had!

“…dit was heeltemal ongeloofluk! die pizzas was baie lekker
