Piza ē Vino Melville: Where Joburg’s Love for Pizza Gets a Little More Italian

Melville isn’t just a neighbourhood – it’s a vibe. A little artistic, a little rebellious, and always full of flavour. Which makes it the perfect home for Piza ē Vino, where Joburg’s pizza lovers come to indulge in the kind of Italian food that doesn’t just feed you – it romances you.

Whether you’re a loyal regular or a curious first-timer, this is one of those places that feels like a warm welcome every time you walk in. And once you’ve tasted what’s coming out of their wood-fired oven, you’ll understand why this spot has become such a firm favourite.

From Italy, with a Whole Lot of Love

Piza ē Vino was born in 2009 out of a simple philosophy: good food, made well. Their recipes are rooted in traditional Italian cooking, with dough made fresh, sauces slow-cooked to perfection, and ingredients chosen with care.

At the Melville branch, that philosophy comes alive in every detail. From the crackle of the pizza base as it leaves the oven to the generous portions of handmade pasta, every dish is a celebration of flavour. Think bold, comforting, uncomplicated – and best enjoyed with your hands and a glass of something good.

Meet the Maestro in the Kitchen

Behind the scenes is Matteo, the brand’s culinary mentor and resident “Big Chef.” Raised in Italy and guided by the belief that food should be simple, honest, and shared, Matteo’s expertise shapes every seasonal menu update.

He works closely with the executive team to develop new dishes that bring the spirit of Italian street corners and family kitchens to life – right here in the heart of Joburg.

Family-Style Feasting, Your Way

This isn’t just a date-night destination (though the moody lighting and Chianti make it a strong contender). Piza ē Vino Melville is also a space for families, friends, and long-overdue catch-ups.

They’ve introduced a Family Meals menu made to serve four, perfect for cosy dinners at home without the clean-up. If you’re in the mood for a bit of DIY, grab one of their Home Pizza Kits – complete with authentic dough, sauce, and mozzarella. It’s all the fun of a pizza party, minus the stress of starting from scratch.

Raise a Glass to the Good Stuff

What’s pizza without a good wine? Each month, the team spotlights a Wine of the Month, often from standout local producers like Backsberg Family Wines – South Africa’s first carbon-neutral winery.

It’s a clever way to discover new pairings and enjoy an ever-changing drinks list that’s as considered as the food.

Loyalty That Actually Feels Rewarding

Regulars will want to join The Base Club, the restaurant’s loyalty programme. Members get exclusive perks, early access to specials, and a few delicious surprises along the way.

It’s free to join, and if you find yourself returning often (spoiler: you will), it’s well worth signing up.

The Final Slice

There’s no shortage of pizza joints in Joburg – but there’s something about Piza ē Vino Melville that just hits differently. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. Maybe it’s the food. Maybe it’s the mix of tradition and cool that feels right at home in Melville.

Whatever it is, this place is more than a restaurant. It’s a little piece of Italy tucked into one of the city’s most soulful suburbs.

Book your table today at Piza ē Vino Melville and experience pizza the way it was meant to be – fresh, fiery, and full of heart.
