Well, instead of just going with the majority, I decided to try it for myself. The main reason why I was interested in trying State 5, was because of the amazing pizza special they offer on Friday nights... And as seen from my previous review, my husband and I adore pizza! State 5, is a family style restaurant and Craft Coffee Roastery, situated on the corner of Witkoppen Road and Kingfisher Drive, Fourways. It is not easy to spot, so we had to ask the security exactly where to go. (This is not the only restaurant situated here). We were welcomed by a lovely, cozy setting with a mix between an urban and rustic atmosphere. The interior immediately struck us. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member and he escorted us to a table of our choice. Our drinks order was taken straight after our waiter introduced himself and explained the special to us.

Since it was a chilly night, I decided to go with a hot drink and for me, being so indecisive, it was a tough decision to decide which hot drink to choose. Everything from White Hot Chocolate to Oreo Cookie Hot Chocolate. And I must say, the Oreo Cookie Hot Chocolate was the best hot drink I have ever had! I think I have a new addiction. Of course we opted for the pizza special... All you can eat pizza at R 80 p.p. We were really surprised when we got the entire pizza and not only a slice or three. Our waiter checked on us every 10 minutes to make sure we are enjoying our pizzas and took our taste in consideration. Every pizza was freshly made and we were even able to see how they’re preparing them. Wood fired pizzas are the absolute best! Image Source: State 5
After a few good pizzas (four to be exact), we were stuffed. We left a few slices and the waiter offered to put it in a take-away box for us to take home. I haven’t experienced great service like this in a very long time! I highly recommend State 5 Restaurant Fourways, especially their Friday night special! Just make sure about their opening hours. They’re only open from 8 AM to 5 PM during the week. Find them on Facebook @State 5 Fourways and show them some love!

So twee naweke gelede, het ek en my man op die ingewing van die oomblik besluit, ons is lus vir ‘n “pizza binge” Sondag. Ek sien al vir ‘n geruime tydjie die advertensie van ‘n “Bistro & Café” en dis toe op die dag dat ons besluit ons gaan maak ‘n draai by Estrellas. Die plekkie het my aangenaam verras met eerste oogopslag. Klein, intiem en persoonlik. Ons was met vriendelikheid ontvang en het vir ons ‘n plekkie gekry onder die groot koelte bome, wat net-net die begin van lente aandui. Die kelnerin het ons dadelik kom groet en tuis laat voel. Indien jy enigsins soos ek is, is dit moeilik om dadelik ‘n besluit te neem oor waarvoor jy lus is, so ek vra gewoonlik dat hul my so 10 minute gee. Dadelik het die “Home-made Ice tea” my oog gevang. Ongelukkig het hul van die biere (vir my man), die “Peach ice tea” asook die “sugar free ice teas” nie beskikbaar gehad nie en dit was ‘n effense teleurstelling, maar dit het ek laat gaan nadat ek die “lemon home-made ice tea” eers proe! Uniek, verfrissend en die prys is glad nie sleg nie! Ek en my man het na die specials gekyk en is toe nou ‘overwhelmed’ deur al die specials wat hul aanbied! Jy kan ons albei in ‘n wip vang met ‘n lekker pizza en die pizza special is amazing! Eers was ons skepties, aangesien jy enige twee large pizzas kan kry vir ‘n R 100, maar dit het regtig ons verwagtinge oortref! Die pizza is deur en deur die moiete werd! Vars, toppings in oorvloed en een van die lekkerste pizzas wat ek nog geëet het Indien jy in die area bly, of iets anders soek en bereid is om te ry, doen jouself ‘n guns om by hulle uit te kom! My aanbeveling? Pizza en “home-made ice tea!” Like hul Facebook page @estrellasbistrocafe waar jy hul menus en specials kan kry. Estrellas Bistro & Café, hoek van Witkoppen & Main Rds, Fourways.
