I would not recommend this pizza spot…read more We were looking for some quick takeout nearby. They were fast and we were able to get it delivered. Not a bad option, but I was just disappointed in a few things so I don't think we'll return. First, lots of burning on the crust. I'm happy with some char, but burnt pizza makes me feel like I'm not getting what I pay for. The toppings were minimal and haphazardly added, but that's a small note. The sauce is decent, but for a thin crust, it was incredibly flimsy. A bit soggy. Good, crisp pizza should hold its shape when you lift it up! I think the oven is maybe too hot? Or they aren't rotating the pizzas? Because it's burning on the edge but not fully cooked on the bottom. I'm also confused on the mozzarella stick dipping sauce. Marinara is what you would expect, but this is a garlic aoli... so basically just mayo. Garlic was not strong. It wasn't horrid, but not great, and it's a weird combo. THOUGH, I will add the mozzarella sticks were beautifully crispy and the breading was nice and thin. I really liked the mozzarella sticks themselves. Overall, I would unfortunately not recommend this location.

Getting to snag a La Favorita FTR feels almost devious. It's like I just laid down some James Bond…read morerealness on the Yelp Edinburgh community. They found Morningside and Leith, but Blackhall? Blackhall is all mine baby! Ok, gloating aside, there's a very good reason you should know about this particular La Favorita because it's the only one in town that opens at noon on the weekdays. Why is this important? Well because if you too find yourself sick on a Tuesday and drag your sorry butt out of bed at noon only to discover there is no food in the house and your go-to delivery spots don't open until 5pm, well this too shall be your saving grace. You're welcome internet. This place was so good, that I ordered from them two days in a row. Yeah, that's right, I was sick - there is no shame in this people - NO SHAME. Here's what i've learned thus far: Always opt for the 10'' over the 14'' pizza - even if you're ordering for more than one person. I grabbed a 10'' pizza the first go round and it was so delicious that I ordered a larger 14'' for myself the next day because i'm a monster. The crust on the 14'' was way too thin and my delightful truffle oil pizza (see below), got soggy and less delightful in the larger size. My go-to now and forever will be the Montanara - tomato sauce, wild mushrooms, italian sausage, mozzarella and white truffle oil. But (and stay with me here), if you want to ninja the heck out of this, lose the italian sausage, double up on the wild mushrooms and add garlic & olive oil. Yeah... it's as badass as it sounds. Again: You're welcome internet. Also, score yourself some sparkling apple juice! It's no better than soda, but you can trick yourself into thinking it is. Ignorance is bliss when you're sick. I'm not a huge pizza gal and I came back for near instant seconds with this place. If that's not saying something well... you haven't actually read this review and just skimmed to the bottom, so shame on you! Even writing this review is tempting me to order some delicious truffle oil clad pizza love this evening. It's addictive, it's convenient and the delivery drivers don't look judgey when two days in a row, you open the door at 2pm in sweats. If that isn't love...

We did that...but pizza is life...especially NYC-style pizza slices...so when Civerono's showed up on our radar a 2-minute walk from our hotel...there was nothing to consider...this was inevitable. One of their pizzas was listed by Timeout magazine as the 13th best in the world. Okay. Count us in even more. Now, we didn't get that one because it wasn't a vegetarian slice, but if they ranked so highly, surely the basic cheese slice would be at least acceptable. Spoiler alert: it was. My wife and shared a single margarita slice, split in half for the two of us. We were between lunch and dinner, so the main goal here was to try this pizza, not necessarily to fill ourselves up before resuming our Scottish-appropriate adventure. It was good. Super thin as a good NYC slice should be. If it were the local slice option for us back home, I would be happy with it. We thought the dough was a little bit undercooked, so not quite as chewy or crisp as we would have liked. It had a good mix of cheese and sauce, and the flavor was great. So perhaps not the best slice we've had, but miles above the chain pizza spots. The staff was really nice. We were there at about 3:30 in the afternoon, so it wasn't really very crowded. They have salads, and also Detroit-style pizza (Though I think only in full-pie form and only Pepperoni on the menu, so not sure if a vegetarian option is available if you're ordering a whole pie. It's a small but welcoming environment with rainbows everywhere. If we had a Civerino's near us in California, it would definitely be high up in the weekly pizza rotation.

Pomo Pizzeria is located in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh and was just a stones throw away from our hotel. We sat down and pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves! Their menu features pizza, pasta, a variety of share plates (appetizers) and more with a good amount of kid friendly options too. Posted on their wall, you'll also find their specials that include drinks and dessert. We went with a capricciosa pizza, risotto funghi misti, and penne arrabiata. For dessert, vanilla ice cream! Our food came out quickly and overall, pretty good. Flavors were a bit light and could've been seasoned more, but still good and didn't feel heavy on the stomach. What I really liked about the restaurant was the decor. It was totally my jam with a bit of the old world charm in the use of wood and their brick walls, mixed with modern fixtures and features. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the neighborhood! Prices are fair and don't break the bank.

I whooped when I saw dosa on the menu - love me some spicy pancake. The chickpea filling offered two choices, sweet or spicy. I opted for spicy - it was so tasty, but the initial spice had so much kick it gave me a sneezing fit - oops! The husband got a paneer masala which came with a generous amour of cubed cheese goodness in a rich and delicious sauce. Our pilau rice was delivered in a bag rather than a contain, which we thought was weird but it didn't detract. We also ordered a veggie pakora and thought "oh, we'll go for the large as we're sharing". Unwrapping a huge bag filled with crisp pakora bites we realised our folly - we were still snacking on the leftovers 2 days later! All in all, a solid curry that delivered on flavour and portion size. A little slow in getting to us (over an hour as I recall) but as we ordered through Just Eat we were given an update on the delivery time, so at least we knew.
