Last night in Franschhoek, and the theme is no more meat. Meat is murder, and sadly, I've discovered that I do actually have a physical limit on how much meat I can consume.
Pizza is the answer, and Col'cacchio's Green Genie is our pie. A crispy thin crust is a planter of all things green. The avocado is creamy, beets are firmly sweet, and butternut is softer. Arugula finishes with a bitter tinge of spice, uplifting against a down-to-earth mix of so many seeds. Balsamic glaze brings it all together for a pizza that has a lot going on and has a lot going for it.
We split a full salad because we are cows...and we're eating like them too. The Giardino is a full garden in a bowl, with lettuce and spinach as the greens and cute little zucchetti and dramatic broccoli florets for extra effect. There's a soft-boiled egg on top for protein, and though there is more yuzu dressing than I prefer, it's so light with all that sunny citrus that it's easy to keep on eating.
A much-needed selection of lighter fare for us, but the menu promises diversity, with pages upon pages of meat and what meat eats. Nice for a casual meal, a fulfilling fill for your pizza craving.
