Edinburgh has seen a real boom in Italian-style pizzerias, and you will now find some of the best pizza in Scotland right here in the city.

In no particular order, this is our selection of Edinburgh’s 6 best pizza places.

1. Pomo Pizzeria

67-69 Dalry Road, Edinburgh EH3 8DT

0131 281 9755

If you are looking for great Italian-style pizza in Edinburgh, Pomo Pizzeria is a very strong option. This warm and welcoming restaurant is especially well known for its authentic pizzas, fresh ingredients and relaxed atmosphere.

Their pizzas stand out for their Roman-style bases, which are thin, crisp and full of flavour. The dough is made fresh on site every day, left to ferment slowly, and cooked quickly in a traditional oven, creating a light but very satisfying pizza.

Pomo is also a good choice if you are dining with different tastes or dietary requirements, as the menu includes vegan and gluten-free options alongside a wider range of Italian dishes.

3. Mr Wood Fire

59 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9DG

If you are looking for authentic wood-fired pizza in Edinburgh, Mr Wood Fire is a fantastic choice. Although it is a street food van rather than a traditional restaurant, it has quickly built a strong reputation for serving excellent Neapolitan-style pizzas, cooked in a real wood-fired oven.

This is a particularly good option if you want something a little more informal but still full of quality, with freshly made pizzas, a soft and flavourful crust and high-quality toppings. It is a great stop if you are exploring the city centre or the Southside.
