313 Detroit Pizza
51 Cochrane Street
Ravey neons, pounding techno and serious, serious Detroit pizza by the slice that nails all the breed traits. A good 2mm crunch at the base gives way to fluffy focaccia bubbles above, the sauce is deep and sweet and the caramelisation of the cheese round the edges is masterful. BYOB, for now.

Errol’s Hot Pizza
 379 Victoria Road
‘Thin’ and ‘crispy’ are taken to supreme levels here as vigorously seasoned pizza stamps all over your taste buds in the best way possible. It’s a small venue with massive pizzas and sharing is the vibe. Try the white, with gorgonzola, mushrooms, chives and cream. BYOB and get on board with the hard rock soundtrack.

West Side Tavern
162 Dumbarton Road
They didn’t invent hot honey, but the ‘Spice Boi’ at West Side Tavern is the best exponent of it in town. Tavern-style pizzas: thin, crispy, almost crustless, cut into squares for sharing, are defined by robust cheese and a tight balance of flavours. There’s a great beer garden at the back too. 

Paesano Pizza 
94 Miller Street & 471 Great Western Road
There’s been no drop-off in quality since the DiMaggio’s group bought this Neapolitan-style behemoth that’s become a Glasgow institution. From a tightly focused menu, scorched blisters of chewy sourdough crust and immensely thin, foldable centres are topped by San Marzano tomatoes and simple, fresh ingredients whisked out to your table minutes after ordering. Nobody (still) does it better.

Thundercat Pub + Diner
86 Miller Street
This basement venue goes an impressive way towards recreating the Chicago deep dish ‘pizza pie’ style where one slice is so filling it might be enough. Crumbles of fennel sausage top a spacious, biscuity crust and intense tomato base that almost become one: it’s genuinely pretty close to the Lou Malnati’s and Giordano’s of Chi-town itself.
