Pizzeria
Coalition
Coalition runs a wood-fired oven and a two-day slow-rising dough that a local guide explicitly contrasts with the thinner, less chewy base typical of South African pizza generally — a stated departure it makes on purpose rather than an unexamined default. It has multiple Johannesburg branches (Blairgowrie, Parkwood, Sandton Central).
