For the main meal, we chose to share several dishes. The pizza was absolutely perfect and a huge surprise with its charred crust and delicious sauce. The lasagna with spinach noodles and calzone choices were good. For dessert we shared a cheesecake slice with toffee sauce was creamy and perfectly sweet. A great meal and a place I'll definitely return to when in the area again.

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 imagine there's more on the menu that we would like. The pizza bases were thin and crispy. The tomato base was tasty but I think that might have been where they lost a bit of an edge. If you ask me it could have done with a little bit more of a tang. The cheese and toppings rounded it off for a great tasting pizza. I've read reviews about their delivery taking terribly long but we literally live over the bridge from them so decided to collect. So maybe I would hesitate if you're planning on a delivery and suck it up and go and pick them up :)

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)

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!!
