Ordered the number 7 pizza and a tiramisu for dessert. Pizza was a 7/10 but the tiramisu was to die for. Super nice staff, Giampiero the waiter was really chatty and friendly. Just walked in for a table and managed to get straight in. Super fast service too.

Absolutely loved our experience here! We live in Edinburgh so we were absolutely amazed of the quality of pizza we can find so close to city center. The pizza was nothing short of incredible — that signature sourdough crust never disappoints. Every bite was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We had the pork cheek one and the pistachio one from the special menu. A huge shoutout to the wonderful Giampiero, whose enthusiasm and expert recommendations made choosing from all the mouthwatering options so much easier. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Lovely little place. Food was really fresh and tasty, staff were very nice and accommodating. Really good price for what we got. (Some places nearby are grossly overpriced for worse quality food, i.e. TATTU) Cheesecake was good. We requested a heart shaped pizza for valentine's day and were accommodated even though the chef was busy! Made our evening even more special. Thank you. :)

We wanted to have pizza and happened to pass by this restaurant and decided to try their sourdough pizza. With little expectations, we ordered 2 sourdough pizzas and were blown away by how good they are. Be sure to check them out when you are in Edinburgh.

Absolutely loved this place! It’s not easy to find pizza that fits my dietary needs, but they delivered perfectly—gluten-free, no cheese, and still full of flavor. The staff was warm and accommodating, making the experience even better. Also, don’t miss their homemade lemonade—refreshing and delicious! Highly recommended for anyone with specific dietary preferences.
