The Pantry by Marble: Joburg’s Stylish Stop for Pizza, Burgers, and More
A new kind of pit stop
Johannesburg drivers are used to forecourt food that feels like an afterthought. The Pantry by Marble has rewritten that rulebook. Conveniently located on Jan Smuts Avenue, it is a forecourt stop that puts food front and centre. Here, filling up your car comes with the bonus of filling up on dishes that taste far better than you would expect from a roadside shop.
From fine dining to fast dining
The Pantry carries the spirit of Marble, one of Joburg’s most celebrated restaurants, but strips it back to make it approachable and fun. The menu is packed with flavourful favourites: chicken or sirloin pregos, juicy beef burgers with or without fries, fried chicken burgers, and an impressive line-up of pizzas. Choices range from family classics like Hawaiian and margherita to bold creations such as oxtail with chakalaka, mushroom with gorgonzola and watercress, and a breakfast pizza topped with bacon, feta, chilli crisp and free-range eggs.
And because this is Marble’s spin on convenience, there are chefs and restaurant managers ready to help you choose or chat about new foodie ideas. That mix of quality and service is what sets The Pantry apart from standard takeaway stops.
Quick, easy, and still fancy
Life in Joburg is busy, but The Pantry makes it easy to eat well without slowing down. Morning commuters can grab a bacon and egg breakfast bun from 6am. Families often swing by for a whole rotisserie chicken to take home. Students and late-night snackers rely on fried chicken burgers and fries. It is designed to fit every kind of lifestyle, while keeping that touch of indulgence that Marble is known for.

Why Joburgers love it
The Pantry has become more than just a food stop. Social media is filled with posts celebrating its stylish look and café-like vibe, a refreshing change from the harsh lighting and cluttered aisles of typical forecourt shops. It feels like a lifestyle choice as much as a meal. Locals rave about grabbing pizzas before sports games, enjoying burgers during study breaks, or pairing strong coffee with breakfast buns before work.
More than a convenience
By combining speed, taste, and hospitality, The Pantry has turned the idea of forecourt dining into something people look forward to. It is about good food without the fuss, a touch of Marble’s fine-dining flair without the need for a booking. For Joburgers who want convenience without compromise, The Pantry by Marble has become the ultimate pit stop.
