Launched in 2018 in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, Pedro’s Flame-Grilled Chicken is one of South Africa’s most rapidly growing chicken chains with 200+ outlets in all 9 provinces and is expanding into Botswana. Although Pedro’s has been described by local media as a “challenge to Nando’s and KFC” in what they have termed South Africa’s “chicken wars,” it has managed to generate considerable interest and coverage, due in part to having a lower price point than Nando’s and KFC. Here are Pedros menu prices taken from their official live menu.
Chicken Only
It’s chicken, no side; the cheaper way to have chicken portions is to buy Pedro’s flame-grilled chicken portions. The recommended single-person serving is the Quarter Chicken, and the Full Chicken serves the needs of 2-3 people or can be used as the base for a larger family quantity. The budget extremes, Livers & Roll and Giblets & Roll, are sure to be under R30 and are not commonly mentioned in most of the reviews of the pedros menu prices.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Full Chicken | R124.99 |
| 1/2 Chicken | R64.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken | R32.99 |
| Livers & Roll | R29.99 |
| Giblets & Roll | R29.99 |
| Strips & Rice | R29.99 |
| Strips & Chips | R29.99 |
Chicken Meals at Pedros Menu South Africa
Chicken Meals combine a chicken serving with chips, rolls, pap, and chakalaka or extras on the chicken. This is the largest on the menu from an option standpoint, ranging from a simple Quarter Chicken & Chips to a 1/2 Viva Meal that has a lot more food for an additional moderate price increase. The ‘Meal’ options and the ‘& Chips’ option: In most cases, the Meal options are just a drink and extra sides of food on top of the restaurant price of the ‘& Chips’ options for about R10–R15 extra.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| 1/2 Chicken Meal | R89.99 |
| 1/2 Chicken & Chips | R79.99 |
| 1/2 Viva Meal | R84.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken Meal | R59.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken, Chips & Garlic Roll | R54.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken, Chips & Roll | R49.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken, Pap & Chakalaka | R44.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken & Chips | R44.99 |
| Full Chicken & Large Chips | R149.99 |
| Full Chicken & 4 Rolls | R139.99 |
Loaded Paella
One of Pedro’s more unique additions to the menu (unlike all of the South African fast food joints) is the paella, which is a rice-based dish with chicken portions. The “New Loaded” versions are the newer enhancements, which feature additional toppings, at a slight extra cost, on top of the “traditional” Paella selections. The single Paella Bowl is the more affordable option to experience the format without having to purchase a full chicken entrée at the same time.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| New Loaded Full Chicken Paella | R159.99 |
| Full Chicken Paella | R149.99 |
| New Loaded Half Chicken Paella | R89.99 |
| New Loaded Chicken Strips Paella | R89.99 |
| 1/2 Chicken Paella | R79.99 |
| Chicken Strips Paella | R79.99 |
| New Loaded Quarter Chicken Paella | R59.99 |
| 1/4 Chicken Paella | R49.99 |
| NEW Paella Bowl | R29.99 |
Family Meals & Combos
This is the argument used by Pedro’s groups when they tout the Viva Meal at R159.99 as one of the best value spreads in South African fast food, and the Double Up (two portions of chicken for one order) can be easily doubled up to a Double Combo with chips and a drink. On the higher side the Mega Meal (R309.99) is designed for a big family, not the average family of 4.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Mega Meal | R309.99 |
| Maxi Combo | R259.99 |
| Mini Combo | R219.99 |
| Full Meal + 4 Garlic Rolls | R209.99 |
| Full Meal | R199.99 |
| New Fiesta Meal | R179.99 |
| Viva Meal + 4 Garlic Rolls | R169.99 |
| Ola Meal | R169.99 |
| Viva Meal | R159.99 |
| Double Up, Chips & 300ml Buddy | R89.99 |
| Double Up & Chips | R79.99 |
| Double Up | R65.99 |
Platters
Platters are Pedro’s biggest sharing format, designed for parties or gatherings of a large group, but not a typical family dinner. The most expensive menu item is the Chicken Platter at R509.99. Despite the name, the Kids Platter is a sharing meal sized for a big family, not a kids’ meal, so check with your branch exactly what’s on it before ordering it for a children’s party.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Chicken Platter | R509.99 |
| Kids Platter | R389.99 |
Burger Meals
The price of the burgers in the Pedro’s burger range varies from the budget Sprinkle Chicken Burger to the Don Pedro Burger, their signature burger. They come in three different configurations, like one burger, chips, and one burger and chips, and each burger is priced consistently for value comparison throughout the menu, including with a 300 ml Buddy drink, which makes it easy to compare the value of the burgers.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Cheese Burger, Chips and 300ml Buddy | R59.99 |
| Cheese Burger and Chips | R49.99 |
| Cheese Burger | R39.99 |

The Fully Loaded Wrap and Cheesy Jalapeño Wrap are the two most substantial choices in this section, both of which are continually listed as a top menu item in independent reviews and which are both fully vegetarian except for the chicken.

Single Meals
Single Meals consists of the smaller and lighter options. These options do not fit neatly into the burger, wrap, or chicken-only categories. The people are always willing to buy two items that are the chicken salad and wing-based options. These two items are loved by those wanting something lighter than a full chicken serving. Let’s choose from these options:
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Chicken Salad | R39.99 |
| 4 Wings & Chips | R49.99 |
| 4 Flam’n Wings & Chips | R49.99 |
| 4 Wings | R39.99 |
Snacks; Pedros Menu Prices
Snacks are Pedro’s bite-sized, ready-to-eat options, such as one is the chicken nugget, and the other option is bites range as a newer addition and are priced aggressively for a quick, cheap option between R29.99 and R49.99. Loaded fries and cheesy chicken fries are the two more filling snack options if you want something closer to a light meal than a healthy snack.

Most Popular & Best Value Items
If you’re purchasing for a family, not for personal use, then the Full Chicken (R124.99) comes out cheaper per quarter (around R31.25) than the Quarter Chicken alone, which is R32.99. The Viva Meal (R159.99) is an excellent value, consistently appearing as one of the top value-for-money meals on the entire menu according to independent reviews. The Sprinkle Chicken Burger at R29.99 is still the lowest priced standalone meal (without sides or rolls) on the menu for a single order.
Vegetarian & Halal Options
While Pedro’s is a menu that is all about the chicken, the sides menu is also vegetarian friendly (apart from the Slaw Wrap, which is the sole vegetarian option off the menu), as are regular or Large Chips, Rice, Wedges, Garlic Roll, Pap & Chakalaka, Coleslaw Salad, Garden Salad and Greek Salad. On halal: Pedro’s is generally considered to be halal certified, but like most fast food restaurants in South Africa, certification is sometimes different at each stall. Check with the store if this is a hard requirement.
