A concept conceived in Italy, inspired by New York and born in Johannesburg.
A unique brand specialising in authentic Italian pizza and pasta, that South
Africans have been waiting for and welcome with open arms – Hello Tomato.
Launched in November 2015 John Khoury and Gerry Thomas of John and
Gerry's brands created Hello Tomato to revolutionise the fast-casual dining
experience in South Africa. Drawing on elements of authentic modern Italian
eating. Hello Tomato is affordable and unpretentious as it is their
consideration that artisanal, carefully crafted dining doesn't have to be
designated a ‘special treat'.
Fresh ingredients are key to the Hello Tomato experience, made-to-order
pasta and thin crust pizza make sure restaurant quality food is accessible to
more South Africans. "We follow a policy of fresh ingredients, made to order,
by hand", says John Khoury, MD of Hello Tomato. "Our mantra is to make
authentic pizza and pasta, following age-old Italian methods. With an
authentically Italian base product, we then add a very modern and uniquely
South African appeal in the form of our toppings and creative combinations",
adds Khoury. The menu is continually updated with the bottom four sellers in
each section being replaced with new items.
Having most recently launched an all-new menu Hello Tomato which will have
fans overjoyed by what's on offer. The menu simply ignites even the fussiest
food lover's tastes with an array of dishes including; cheesy pizzas, comforting
pasta, generous pasta bakes, flavourful chicken dishes and crispy fresh salads.
This menu itself is a true reflection of Hello Tomato's creative energy. With
pizzas like the Ciao Sausage, which is a typical tomato base with mozzarella
cheese topped with authentic Italian salsiccia, roasted red pepper, caramelized
onion and smoked mozzarella cheese. The Holy Shiitake, a pizza topped with
exotic mushrooms, sundried tomato, artichokes, olive paste, rocket and
balsamic glaze. Pasta's include dishes like the Chick Norris, a chicken pasta dish
with baby marrows, chilli flakes, garlic cream and parmesan cheese.
Hello, Tomato is also ready to satisfy event the carb-conscious individual with a
craving for Italian decadence with their gluten-free and banting friendly
options and the veggie-lovers can veg out with the various vegetarian options.
For those with a sweet tooth, for the first time in South Africa, Hello Tomato
exclusively introduce frozen custard, a dense, rich and creamy taste
experience, choose to swirl things up with the selections of frozen custard
concretes, with chunky mix-ins of Oreo cookies, flaked chocolate, banana or
peanut brittle blended with a decadent fudge, chocolate hazelnut, Tiramisu or
caramel infused sauce. Take your pick! Alternatively, those looking for an
additional sweet treat can select one of the hand spun double thick shakes of
sinful flavours including; caramel fudge, peanut butter, strawberry, chocolate,
coffee, bubblegum and a classic vanilla.
In true Italian style Hello Tomato shares in the culture of eating together,
providing a ‘standard' size option just for you or a hearty ‘company' option
that serves 2 – 4 people so, feel free to size ‘em up!
