The 28-year-old father-of-two announced his surprising career change on social media on Wednesday.
After nearly five years as a news reporter at the station, Sariovski is leaving journalism to concentrate on restaurant franchise The Original Pancake Kitchen.
'From a kid with a camera to a reporter at 7News – this is my final sign-off,' he said on Instagram.
Explaining to followers that he had a childhood wish to enter broadcast news, he confessed that as a teenager, he once sold a car to buy a camera.
'That was my first real step into the world I wanted to be part of – and I poured everything I had into it,' he said.

After nearly five years as a news reporter at the station, Sariovski said he was leaving journalism to concentrate on his franchise with The Original Pancake Kitchen, a well-known restaurant chain in his hometown of Adelaide.
'Fifteen years ago, I walked into Channel 7 Adelaide as a work experience kid and was told I was too over-enthusiastic and not to come back.
'I left thinking the dream had ended before it even began. But it didn't.
'I found my way back – and became a reporter there. It became everything I'd hoped for – the stories, the pressure, the chaos, and the people who made it all worth it. It's hard to leave the dream behind… but it's time.
'Now, it's about my family – my fiancée Lauren, and our boys, Jett and Arlo.'
He also thanked South Australian viewers for their support and added, 'I'm still on your screen for now – but at the end of the month, it's me signing off.
'After that… the only deadlines will be pancakes on plates, not news on screens.'
Seven News Adelaide's Jasmin Teurlings was among the many followers who posted messages of support on Sariovski's post.

'Go well, Mitch,' she said, adding, 'No one quite does a chase like you do. Well done on an incredible chapter.'
