Romfordjt Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just a quick question. My boy and his girlfriend are heading up for a weekend soon, inevitably the subject of food arose. They are looking for a decent Italian place preferably one that does pizzas as well. Any recommendations from jkbland. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Pizzeria 1926 in Dalry. Dough is decent as well, one on Rose Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Origano on Leith Walk's pizza's are excellent: http://www.origano-leith.co.uk/ or if you fancy more central, Civerinos on Hunter Square: http://www.civerinos.com/home-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dough is excellent, Origano too. Civerinos is a feat of marketing. Run by arseholes for dupable hipsters. I love The Caprice in Mussy but its probably a nostalgia or loyalty thing more than anything!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it’s always great and fairly priced. It's brilliant. It looks a bit of a dump but that's part of the charm, it's cheap as chips, the pizzas and pasta portions are huge and it's a proper family run place. I also really like Pizza Geeks on Dalry Road although it's a bit more of a pit stop for a quick pizza and beer on a night out kinda place.

Bozi Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I used to love Jollys but the quality has dipped a lot in recent years, pizza Pino or Santino was always my go to but the last couple of times I have been massively disappointed It's a shame because when I lived in Niddrie, Vito used to deliver because I was in there so often with my Italian exgf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunphy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Honestly can’t stand the utter guff you’re sold by places live Civerinos, Dough or La Fav. I’d rather eat a frozen number from Chicago Town than eat at any of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgundy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Was at Vittorias on George IV bridge on Sunday. First time and thought it was nice. 20% off with a Hearts or Flumps season ticket as well (not the drinks though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Ell Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 1926, never had a bad pizza there. Their prices have just gone up but still tremendous pizzas. I like Pizza geeks at Haymarket/Dalry too, the arcade machine/table a nice wee quirk too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
