Benzinho Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ok folks, need some help. I fancy pizza for dinner tonight but I'm bored with the usual Dominos/Pizza Hut options so want to try somewhere new. I don't want any of the stodgy crap with too much cheese you usually get from most chippys either, I'm talking a really nice, thin base pizza, with good quality toppings. It has to be within say 10-15 minutes drive max from Slateford as well. For example, I'd drive over to the bridges to get it if I think it's worthwhile.

Benzinho Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Francos in Stockbridge. Their Pizza's sre top notch and pretty well priced. I used to live right next to Franco's on Portgower Place but only ever used it for chips due to my mistrust of chippy pizzas. Is it genuinely worth a try?

Is it genuinely worth a try? I would say so. (I used to do a bit of work for them and have known the owners since I was a kid) The dough is made in the place next door (San Marco) and they have the same kind of Pizza ovens as well (the two places are owned by brothers) If you want a really thin cripsy base then get a 'Vinnie Special' which is a 10" base stretched in a 12" dish. If I get a take-away Pizza (Which is not very often these days) then thats where I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to go in on the way home from the game when I lived down there and I can remember always getting a bit of chat about the game from the older guy behind the counter.

jamb0_1874 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Zizzi's at Fountainbridge is really good. I've only eaten in their restaurant but am pretty sure they do takeaway as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmiyaRomanova Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 papa johns you'll not be disappointed Agreed. Not what you're after, but across the road from it there's a new(ish) chippie that fries its fish to order - best I've had in a long time....

Gershwin Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 La Favorita delivers as well. Although I'd keep the kids inside when one of their delivery guys is on the roads as they drive like frustrated Taxi Drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brothers support whoever they customer supports! But they keep up with the chat from the Hibs and Hearts games mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if it's a chain just as long as it tastes good and hopefully better than Dominos/Pizza Hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you were another of the Broughton reprobates! I still speak to Vinny reguarly and enjoy the occasional round of golf with him. He was a Celtic fan last time I checked - but he is forgiven that because he is a 'top lad'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Celtic fan last time I checked - but he is forgiven that because he is a 'top lad'. I think his only true love is Juve. He actually used to go to a fair few Hearts games with me. Can't believe he is claiming to be a Celtic fan now. Sad day. Puts things in perspective. Used to play a bit of golf with him as well but he was forever cancelling when his old boy dragged him into work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
