Authentic Neapolitan restaurant Settebello has officially been named the winner of 947’s ‘Best Pizza in Joburg’ search, following a city-wide hunt led by the station’s breakfast show Anele and the Club in partnership with Old Mutual Insure.
Hosted by Anele Mgudlwa, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta, the popular breakfast show previously searched for the city’s best wings, chocolate cake, ribs, and burgers.
This time, after tasting recommendations from listeners across Johannesburg, the team crowned Settebello as the ultimate pizza destination.
“To be recognised as serving the best pizza in Johannesburg is an incredible honour,” says Pino Di Benedetto, co-owner of Settebello. “Johannesburg has an outstanding food culture, so to receive this recognition from 947’s listeners and the Anele and the Club team means the world to us. We’ve always believed that authenticity speaks for itself.”
Settebello is committed to Traditional Neapolitan Craftsmanship
Since opening its doors seven years ago, this restaurant has remained dedicated to preserving the traditions of Naples by using premium Italian ingredients, including Caputo flour, Ciao tomatoes, and mozzarella from Puglia Cheese.
Every pizza is hand-stretched, slow-fermented for natural flavor development, and baked at high temperatures in traditional Neapolitan style.
Co-owner Ramiro ‘Miro’ Marques adds that the award belongs equally to the chefs, pizzaiolos, waiters, and kitchen staff who maintain that standard every day.
The victory also carries special meaning as it coincides with celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of SSC Napoli, the iconic football club from the birthplace of pizza.
