Pizza Posto Reviews

Visited Pizza Posto with my family after hearing that it was not only the best pizzeria in Edinburgh but one of the best in the whole United Kingdom. As an Italian myself, I can confirm that their reputation is absolutely deserved. Pizza dough was fantastic, a delicious combination of chewyness and softness. Both side dishes we ordered were also very tasty and true to tradition. The menu had plenty of options, you’d be hard pressed not to find something to love. Staff was incredibly friendly and polite, always making sure that our needs were met and even helping in choosing what to order when we were stunned by the number of options. Service was very fast too, we waited less than 15 minutes for 2 pizzas and 2 sides on a semi-packed Friday evening. Prices were very fair, especially considering the fantastic location, right in front of the Edinburgh Festival Theatre and barely a 5 minute walk from the National Museum of Scotland. There are food chains like Pizza Hut and Pizza Express which serve a significantly worse product at about the same price, I think that’s all I need to say on the matter. I lived in Italy for 24 years before moving to Edinburgh and I can safely say that this place would outclass most pizzerias I’ve visited back home. That’s high praise but it’s absolutely warranted. If anybody ever asks me what’s the best pizza in the city, I know for a fact where I’ll point them towards. 11/10.
