Homies Pizza
Edinburgh Street Food, Leith Street
For pillowy, thick Detroit-style pizza, Homies is the place. Head to Edinburgh Street Food to find deep pies cooked in tall steel pans to create the crisp ‘frico’ cheese crust. The Detroit classic wins every time, covered in pepperoni, jalapeños and hot honey, with plenty of cheese. 

Matto Pizza
12 Cadzow Place, 370–372 Morningside Road & 29–33 Newington Road
Long an Abbeyhill takeaway favourite, Matto have relaxed restaurants in Morningside and newly opened Newington too. ‘Matto’ means crazy in Italian, so among the Neapolitan-style classics you’ll find a few off-beat options, like courgette pesto with mortadella, confit tomatoes and wasabi peas. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. 

Pizza Geeks
7 Commercial Street, 126 Easter Road & 19 Dalry Road
Pizza Geeks has three venues across the city, all with an individual retro gaming, film or TV-inspired theme. For example, at Easter Road a pizza from ‘The Shire’ is forged in an R2D2 oven and house classics include ‘The Mario’. These kind-hearted pizza slingers also donate thousands of pizzas to community groups and charities every year. 

Razzo Pizza 
59 Great Junction Street
Don’t ask for pineapple: the pizza toppings at Razzo are straight from Napoli. The small restaurant is dominated by a huge copper pizza oven and the sourdough pizzas are among the best in Scotland. The napoletana is hard to beat: just crushed San Marzano tomatoes with anchovies, capers, basil and oregano. Delivery drivers buzz in and out, but you won’t care.

San Ciro’s
148 Leith Walk
This new pizza spot has quickly moved up the hotly contested top pizza ranks in Leith. On the menu are delicious Neapolitan style pizzas with classic toppings, and a few more out-there specials (like smoked mozzarella, bacon and pineapple and chilli jam). Share hot arancini or crispy calamari while you wait.
