The highly anticipated Col’Cacchio pizzeria Celebrity Chef Series is back and will be running from September until the end of November 2015. This year’s series will see three top South African sport stars team up with three of SA’s hottest young chefs to present their take on a signature pizza.
The signature pizzas will be a combination of both chef and sportsman’s favourite pizza toppings and flavours. The gourmet masterpieces will be featured on all Col’Cacchio pizzeria menus during the months of September, October and November:
November showcases Jabu Mahlangu (Former Bafana Bafana, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs midfielder) and Ivor Jones’ (head chef of The Test Kitchen) pizza creation.
