How to Choose

For a sit-down night out with cocktails, Civerinos is hard to beat, while Cold Town House pairs stone-baked pizza with castle views and its own beer. For a proper Neapolitan bake to your door, order from Matto. On a budget, grab a slice from the £2 Pizza Slice on South Bridge; for a fully customised pie with GF, vegan and halal bases, Pure/Go Pizza delivers across the south side.

Edinburgh’s pizza scene goes well beyond the five names above. These eight pizzerias are consistently rated among the city’s best by locals and food critics:

Origano

236 Leith Walk, EH6 5EL — A Leith Walk institution since 2007, Origano hides behind an unassuming green front and serves properly authentic Italian pizzas from a big wood-fired oven. The dough is hand-stretched, toppings are imported from Naples, and the vibe is buzzy on weekend evenings. Prizes are fair and service is quick. Open Mon–Thu 5–10pm, Fri–Sun from 12pm.

Razzo Pizza

59 Great Junction Street, EH6 5HX — A Leith favourite that consistently wins Reddit debates about the city’s best pizza. Razzo’s Neapolitan pies have a pillowy, leopard-spotted crust and high-quality toppings. Deliveroo drivers queue outside most nights — a reliable sign. There’s room for small groups in person, too. Open daily 12–9.30pm (Fri–Sat to 10pm).

Paesano Pizza

77A George Street, EH2 3EE — Glasgow’s cult Neapolitan pizzeria brought its wood-fired pies to Edinburgh’s George Street.
