📅 Available from this Saturday, every day of the week EXCEPT Mondays (Petrone's is closed Mondays)
📍 Petrone's Pizzeria, Dowerglen, Edenvale
🎁 And there's a MASSIVE holiday prize on the way — for people who catch this launch and get involved with this post. Like, comment and share to be in the running. Full T&Cs coming shortly, so keep your eyes here.

New spot in Edenvale with daily specials 🦆 The Duck Up — go support it
There's a brand-new spot in Edenvale, and it's ridiculously fun. Ducks everywhere, cool branding, proper vibes — it's called The Duck Up, and it's opened up where the old Glassy Junction used to be. That place had a bit of a reputation, so these guys have a real job rebuilding it — and honestly, they're smashing it. All new furniture, all new energy.
I went with two mates and we paid full price for everything (this one cost me a bit — we tried three specials AND a full-price dish to show you the lot 😅). Since they're brand new, I'm scoring them in stars rather than out of ten — a friendlier scale for a spot still finding its feet.
Here's what they run:
🍗 Saturdays (on Springbok rugby game days) — bottomless wings, R150 (about £6.80 / $9.30), three flavours, unlimited. Unheard of. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ And if you wear a Bok jersey, they hit you with a Springbok shooter.
🥩 Mondays — a R100 steak and side (£4.55 / $6.20). A proper steak, not a sad one. That's a Kief deal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
🍖 Tuesdays — ribs, R150. Solid. ⭐⭐⭐½
🔥 The Trichardo — we paid full price for this one and it was unreal. That secret sauce is special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth coming back for.
🍺 Plus 2 Stella draughts for R100.
Vibes and branding: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Value for money: ⭐⭐⭐⭐. A genuinely cool local spot that won't cost you an arm and a leg.
Here's my ask: these new local spots need us. If we want cool, independent places in our area, we have to actually show up and support them — before they're forced to close their doors. So if you're nearby, go give The Duck Up a shot. Tell them Kief Deals sent you.
📍 The Duck Up — 1st floor, 52 Harris Ave, Eden Glen, Edenvale, 1609

R140 and the kids play ALL DAY 🎢 Braaifesta Family Restaurant, Boksburg
Parents, this one's for you — save it for the holidays or a weekend.
Braaifesta in Boksburg is a proper one-stop family spot. For R140 per child (17 and younger), the kids get unlimited play the WHOLE day — trampolines, a ninja course, a ball pit, and all the arcade games included in the price. They run around and have an absolute blast while you actually get to sit and relax.
And the food's proper braai fare. We had beef brisket, steak rolls, and all the good traditional sides — braaibroodjie, pap and sous, potato salad. On taste, I'd give it a solid 8/10. The food's a little on the pricey side, I'll be honest — but here's the thing: when you factor in a full day of the kids being entertained and happy, the combined value jumps to a 9/10. That's a genuinely great family outing.
📍 Braaifesta, 12 Fobian Street, Hughes, Boksburg

We designed a pizza for Petrone's actual menu 🍕🇮🇹
This might be the most fun we've had making a video. Petrone's — the family-run Italian pizzeria in Edenvale ,East Rand (real Napoli family, wood-fired oven) — let us design a pizza for their menu. One pizza. So naturally, we made four, brought the boys, and turned it into a proper taste-off.
Here's how it went down:
🐟 The Anchovies — here's the funny part: all of us LOVED it. A genuine 9/10. But we all knew the truth — put anchovies on a Joburg menu and most people run. So the best-loved pizza of the night never stood a chance.
🌶️ The Bush — pepperoni, bacon, jalapeños and a honey drizzle. Sweet meets heat. 9/10.
🥩 The Ron — prosciutto, sun-dried tomato, rocket, balsamic. Classy. The pizza wears a suit. 9.5 — highest score of the night. It should've won…
🏆 The Kief Deal Bandit — salami, bacon, peppadews, creamy cheese, fresh avo, rocket, balsamic. Also 9.5 — a tie at the top. So how'd we break it? The Ron was gorgeous, but Petrone's already make something like it. The Bandit had everything people actually love on one pizza — that ultimate flavour combo that just works, everywhere. Salty, creamy, fresh, tangy. Nobody said no to it. That's what goes on a menu.
🦑 And a bonus: we tried Petrone's mussels on a whim — creamy, garlicky, unreal. 8.5/10.
The Kief Deal Bandit drops THIS SATURDAY. And keep your eyes peeled, because big things are coming for this little pizza — bigger than you think. 😏
📍 Petrone's Pizzeria, Edenvale, Johannesburg

Tuesday buy-1-get-1-free pregos in Dowerglen 🇵🇹 Sr Frango + Old Fashioned Fish & Chips
Here's an honest one — and a genuinely good midweek deal for the community, even if the spot itself isn't going to be my regular.
Sr Frango (Portuguese) and Old Fashioned Fish & Chips share one shop on Linksfield Road, Dowerglen — one kitchen, two menus. I'll be straight with you: I found it a bit pricey for what you get. I had the full calamari strips (R105) — genuinely tasty, an 8 on flavour — but you pay R10 extra for tartar sauce and it doesn't come with a side, which for a takeaway pushes the value down to a 6.5. My wife had the beef prego (R89), which was fine — a 7.
So personally, it's not a place I'd rush back to. BUT — here's why this is worth your attention: on Tuesdays they run a "Prego Madness Special" — buy one get one free on ALL pregos, beef or chicken. That deal is genuinely good value, an 8.5 from me. One for you, one for someone else.
As always, I paid my own bill and I'm giving it to you straight — my personal feelings aside, that Tuesday deal is a solid shout.
📍 Glendower Centre, 99 Linksfield Road, Dowerglen. Open Sun–Thurs 10am–7pm, Fri–Sat 10am–8pm. They deliver too.

School holiday thing to do in Joburg 🤯 Museum of Illusions, Rosebank — is it worth it?
With the school holidays coming up, here's something a bit different to do with the family in Joburg — and an honest take on whether it's worth your money.
The Museum of Illusions in The Zone @ Rosebank is part of a global brand, and it's exactly what it sounds like: mind-bending rooms, optical illusions, infinity mirrors and trippy walls that mess with your head in the best way. Matt, my wife and I went through it and genuinely had a cool time — as an experience, I'd give it a solid 8/10.
Now, being honest as always: it's R250 per person (about £11), and you'll get through the whole thing in around 40 minutes. So it's a fun experience, but it's not cheap and it's not a deal — on value for money, that's a 6/10 from me.
A few useful heads-ups:
👁️ After all the illusions, your eyes and head genuinely feel a bit dizzy and sore, so ease back into the day.
💳 It's card only — they don't take cash.
🧒 It's not really one for the very little kids (they won't have the patience).
Verdict: worth doing once, and a genuinely fun holiday outing if you go in knowing what it is.
📍 Museum of Illusions, 177 Oxford Road, The Zone @ Rosebank, Johannesburg. Open 7 days.

Half-price pizza & milkshakes at Kota Joe's, Edenvale 🍕🥤 An honest look
Not every spot is a 10/10 — and that's exactly why you can trust the ones that are. So here's an honest one.
Kota Joe's in Edenvale is a proper roadhouse — cool setup, nicely done. Quick heads-up though: Van Riebeeck Avenue can get a little dodgy late at night, so I'd go earlier rather than later.
They run two deals worth knowing about:
🍕 Mondays — half-price pizza
🥤 Wednesdays — half-price basic milkshakes
On value, those deals are genuinely good — I'd give the deal an 8.5/10. But being straight with you: the pizza itself is a 7 (my wife had it, it's not something I'd order), and the basic milkshake is a 7.5.
Here's the honest insider bit — if it were my money, I'd skip the deal and order two things instead. First, a kota. I had the Jozi (R90) — polony, Viennas, egg and all the proper local stuff, big and juicy and saucy. Taste an 8, though it's a bit pricey for a sandwich stuffed with chips, so value's a 7.5. And second, their specialty milkshakes — they're NOT on the deal, but they're honestly some of the best I've ever had.
I paid for everything myself, as always.
📍 Kota Joe's, Van Riebeeck Ave, Edenvale. Deals every Monday & Wednesday.
Good deals, or straight for the kota — what are you ordering? 👇

Real Napoli family pizza in the East Rand 🍕🇮🇹 Petrone's Pizzeria
A few of you asked me to go show our neighbourhood favourite some love — so this one's a little different. No deal hunt, just a genuinely great family restaurant worth supporting.
Petrone's is the real deal. Massimiliano came over from Napoli, Italy, and in 2014 built this pizzeria with his wife Colette. It's family-owned, wood-fired, made with proper Italian ingredients — and you can taste the difference in the dough. Their motto says it all: "There is only one."
We went big. Jacky had the Don Peppe, I had the Don Petrone — creamy, rich, loaded with flavour. Both a strict 9/10 (and I don't hand those out easily). The kiddies pizza was simple and perfect too.
Honesty time, because that's the whole point of this channel: Colette insisted on treating our family, so this was a hosted meal. As always, that doesn't soften my scores one bit — and hand on heart, Petrone's is our family's genuine favourite new pizza spot.
On value: their large Standard pizzas are R130–R140, where a lot of places charge R150+ for less. They've even got a loyalty card — every 10th visit over R300, you get a R300 meal free.
📍 Petrone's Pizzeria, Edenvale, Eastrand, Johannesburg
