True Joburgers know that their city’s food scene holds up against that of New York to Hong Kong, and recently, it just got better. Little Kitchener’s in Braamfontein has landed a coveted 6th spot on Time Out’s ‘The 18 best pizzas in the world right now‘.
Braamfontein has undergone major revamps in recent years, including the revival of its famous market, The Playground, and many other foodie injections that fall under the Play Braam umbrella. From hip and up-and-coming coffee spots to the stylishly revamped Kitchener’s Carvery (the second oldest pub in the city), Braamfontein sparks hope for a bright, groovy, and tasty future in the City of Gold.
The most exciting part is the addition of Little Kitchener’s. The sister restaurant to Kitchener’s Carvery, Little Kitchener’s has embraced the grit and glamour of Joburg life and combined it with Italy. Their menu honours Neapolitan roots while maintaining the bold flavours Jozi craves.
Which pizza grabbed the coveted 6th spot? Meet the Pepperoni & Hot Honey pizza. Time Out’s Joburg editor describes it as “a messy, glorious masterclass in balance…the Pepperoni & Hot Honey Pizza is a simple combination on paper: San Marzano tomato base, fior di latte, and spicy pepperoni, but it’s the generous drizzle of local, home-made hot honey that elevates it to world-class status”.
Little Kitchener’s is proof that you don’t need to fly to Italy for the best slice of pizza; instead, you just need a ride to Braam in Joburg.
