My experience at Col’Cacchios……….19-02-2012


Another one of our locals is this awesome pizzeria. Before discovering this pizzeria I would have never thought that I would come across a pizzeria that makes the best salads ever! This is what I love about them so much! Not only do they have amazing gourmet thin based pizzas but they also have the most amazing salads! A few years ago I remember myself saying that I will never actually order a salad at a restaurant as a main meal because it would never fill me. Well a few years later when your body doesn’t metabolize pizzas as good as it used to, you find yourself opting for the occasional salad on the menu. Having said that, I will seldom order a salad at another place because I know there is no way it would live up to Col’Cacchios’ salads.
Their salads are so massive and bursting with goodness that on a few occasions I have actually not been able to finish them. Even though I mostly order salads when visiting Col’Cacchios, I always steel a slice of pizza from the finance. Just having salad and no pizzas at a pizzeria as great as this one, would just be wrong. Another great thing that they have is wheat free bases, which opens their menu up to the unfortunate folk that can’t eat wheat. They clearly know that their pizzas are so good that people might struggle just deciding on one, therefore you can order two halves from two different pizzas. What is nice about this as well is that you can try something new, without running the risk of missing out on your favourite pizza. In this case you pay half of each pizza’s price.

I ordered the Brioso: Lettuce, rocket, roasted beetroot, roasted butternut, feta, crispy onions, butternut chips, pomegranate arils, green yoghurt dressing, seasoned chicken. Standard it comes without the chicken. I don’t like those root vegetable chips so I always ask that they leave the butternut chips off. The green yoghurt dressing they use is amazing !

The fiancé had half of the Stagionata: ham, mushroom, olives, artichokes and half of the Carricciosa: salami, olives, asparagus, mushroom. Stagionata is his favourite so he felt “adventurous” and tried something different with the other half. Even though their ingredients are so similar! J Both were really good of course.

There is no question that we will be back there. Once or twice we have had bad service and the occasional bad meal but 95% of the time their food is totally delicious!

Yours in fun & pizzas,
