Pizza Fair is well known in Constantia for great pizza, great ribs and great value. I decided to visit the restaurant on a Saturday evening to see how the atmosphere was and to try the food out for myself. They are located in Old Constantia Village along with a few other restaurants which create a great buzz and atmosphere in the centre at night. Unfortunately Pizza Fair is tucked away from the other restaurants and is sorely lacking any sort of atmosphere at all. The was one couple eating in at Pizza Fair when I visited the restaurant and a few people were collecting takeaways, which seems to be the more popular route. They have a very plain and small indoor seating area as well as an outdoor area which could be quite nice, but unfortunately was dirty and completely empty.

The restaurant serves alcohol and hosts a big, old fashioned pizza oven which is one of the reasons why their pizza is so good. The staff are friendly and the food is ready very quickly. They run a few specials including their Monday Madness special where you can get half a rack of ribs and a medium pizza for just R149.99.

I ordered the Wild Thing pizza with bacon, avocado, mushroom, onion and garlic with added ribs as I was very keen to try a rib pizza. Although I wasn’t sure what to expect, my pizza was absolutely delicious. The ribs were tender and juicy and make an incredible topping for a Pizza Fair pizza and the other toppings were plentiful and tasty. I also ordered a side order of chips which were below average and something I wouldn’t recommend. I can’t wait to try out the rack of ribs next time I visit Pizza Fair as well as their burgers and Portuguese rolls.
