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.

I can confidently say that the burger I had here was the best burger I ever had, but I'll get to it. I sat in the terrace area and it was a good view with nice feeling to it. I like the lift things as little booths. Their boneless chicken wings were absolutely perfect. The bbq sauce was light and sweet due to the honey bbq. And don't get me started on the burger. The cheese was perfect and melty, the haggis wasn't overpowering and gave the whole thing an extra edge and the patties were perfectly cooked. The chips were not what I'm used to but were really nice and crispy. The waitress I had was quite nice.

Giancarlo's opened before Christmas and I have to say I was sceptical as Tranent wouldn't be my choice of location for a smart family Italian restaurant. My partner and I decided to go for lunch and were instantly impressed. Service was fab, so friendly and made you feel at home, typical Italian welcome which I love. The atmosphere was relaxed, the restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and so clean! Love the huge woodfired oven and the fact you can watch the chefs do their magic! And oh the food, I came expecting not much and had that wonderful experience of being completely wrong!! They have a lunch deal, two courses for £10. We had mussels to start, fantastic portion size, delicious cream and white wine sauce and plenty of bread. I then had a margarita pizza, just fancied it and I know it's the boring option but honestly this was the best one I've had in Scotland. Delicious fresh dough base and the tomato sauce was just to die for, so flavoursome and to top it all off, proper buffalo mozzarella, generously heaped on top and cooked to perfection! For me this is pizza heaven. Looking around the rest of their menu seems not to disappoint and I can't wait to go back and try some pasta and pretty much everything else!!!! If you find yourself in this neck of the woods then this place is a must! Delizioso!!

Were they like the US and have gluten-free options now? Ohhh yes they did, yay! It was great to thaw out inside while the pizza was made -- everything looks new and clean. They also added a free dip sauce (garlic/herb creamy base), which was great as there wasn't a ton of extra pizza sauce -- more bread for dipping :) The menu said that gluten-free pizzas were not to be cut, but mine was. I guess if you're celiac, beware? Gluten intolerant folks shouldn't worry. Bonus: I learned what rashers are (bacon pieces)
