Papachinos: Where Great Food and Familia Meet

Staff Writer / September 15, 2025


Papachinos, where food and family come together, has been Gauteng’s favourite family table for more than 20 years. Here, generations have spent years celebrating life events and eating delectable meals. With its substantial pastas, wood-fired pizzas, kid-friendly play areas, Bambino Chef lessons, and cheerful staff, Papachinos perfectly combines tradition with family-friendly dining.


Papachinos Keeps the Party Going

Papachinos are humbled by the love and loyalty of their community. And as a token of their appreciation for each laugh, smile, and memory made around their tables, their 21st Birthday Specials continue!



A Family Favourite Since 2003

This family favourite is more than just a restaurant. It’s South Africa’s family table. Papachinos is where toddlers roll their very first dough, where teens share shakes and friendships, and where grandparents watch children grow and families celebrate. They have been providing happiness as abundantly as their portions for 21 years by fusing traditional values with friendly hospitality.



Respect the Pizza

Pizza is the heart of Papachinos. Wood-fired, thin-crusted, and made with love, you won’t get better than a Papachinos pizza. From your table to their wood-burning ovens, each slice has a tale to tell. Pizza is only the start; there are also rich pastas, hearty burgers, crisp salads, popular shakes, and even sushi. Food that is abundant, happy, and always intended to create memories.



Celebrate Family

Papachinos is about the people, not just the food. Sunday lunch with families. Children growing up to be Bambino chefs. Teens grow up with laughter and cheer. Devoted employees who welcome diners as members of their family. Every moment, every dish, and every smile contributes to their story.



The Scrumptious Classics

Some foods become classics and never go out of style. Imagine fresh salads, stacked burgers, hot pasta, and rich milkshakes that will last a lifetime. Families order them again and again, sharing plates with old friends. Papachinos offers hearty, flavourful, comfortable food that is always prepared with love, whether it’s for a Sunday feast or a midweek dinner.



Weekly Rituals: Mafia Mondays & Teddy Tuesdays

Mafia Monday – start your week on a high note with half-priced pizza and pasta. Also, don’t miss Teddy Tuesdays, where young Bambinos can eat for free. By Wednesday, the focus will be on Papa’s Original Burgers, which are juicy, stacked, and only R95. They come with chips or a side salad, and your choice of one of their delectable sauces. Monday through Friday mornings, Papachinos serves up hearty breakfasts with complimentary coffee. These are not merely specialities; they are family customs that transform routine workdays into treasured memories. Click here to see their Specials and  Ts & Cs.
