Really disappointing experience. Staff was clearly over “the season” and the fact that they had to work on a Sunday. The place was not neat with lots of empty glasses, cans and pizza boards standing around. It was raining and there was limited seating available (which we completely understood) but the staff was not helpful in moving us to a better spot once it opened. The pizzas were quite pricey taking into consideration the experience. Sure it’s a great jol during season but won’t recommend for a family dinner during the quieter months.

Avo Bacon and Mozzarella Pizza
Wonderful pizza available here, the waffles were also very good. It's self service, and the food was very promptly served. The venue is very unique and offers a short walk to a Lookout of the river and ocean.

Tasty freshly prepared food. Scenic area. Free parking a little up the road.
I was told that there used to be fairy lights in the Garden path leading to the spectacular lookout, and there used to be some benches there, but now it's gone. The river has recently changed its course after the big rains recently.

Wonderful outdoor pizza place right on the sand, with lights in the trees. Just such a joy to eat here. Delicious and interesting pizzas. Friendly service. We will definitely come here again and again.
Good things: Beautiful place. Love it. It is what every beach bar dreams to be when it grows up. I would love to give it 5 stars on atmosphere alone.
Bad things: The coffee and cappuccino we had were really not good. It tasted a wee bit rotten, although I drank the cold milk and there was nothing wrong with it, so it might be the water. Also, the seafood pizza had mussels on it that were inedible. They tasted like they were very close to toxic and left a terrible lingering aftertaste.
While we were there a chair collapsed in the sand sending an elderly lady tumbling to the ground, knocking her head.
Another patron got up from his chair and banged the side of his head against a sharp, broken tree branch that should really be sawed off before someone loses an eye.
And someone's kids, for some unfathomable reason, were allowed to lie down in the middle of the path, where they played in the sand, obstructing absolutely everything, while making sand angels. Cute as it may be, I didn't see them for the throng of people milling about, and I very nearly stepped on the face of a toddler whose skull would certainly have been crushed under my weight.

Great pizza and stunning view. Try and get one of three tables by the water, it truly is spectacular. Good value for money and the staff were exceptionally friendly.

Chicken Prego Roll
Whenever I am in Kenton this is one of my go to places. The wagyu burgers are moreish. And so are the pizzas. Everything fresh. Staff is friendly and helpful. And what matters is also the business hours in a town where many places have limited hours I can rely on this eatery being open. So I am a repeat customer.

Delicious food, great service but the most wonderful atmosphere!! Love this place. We never visit Bushmans/Kenton area without having at least one meal here. We absolutely love the "vibe", of Pizzarella...think sandunder your toes, seating under milkwood undergrove strung with fairy lights, wood fire pit under the stars, views of the Kariega River and Kenton Beach. This is an absolute gem!!
Take note of the following:
1. Self-service, grab your own menu, glasses, cutlery, sauces etc when you enter and if you want food or drink, walk across and inform one of the staff, outside of you informing them they're going to leave you be all romantic under your tree
2. Feel free to bring your own fav bottle of wine, corkage is free!
