Civerinos Slice in Edinburgh, City of

Food and service very good but BEWARE!!!! Toilet is absolutely disgusting. 1 toilet for all. Visited today with 2 small children who were told by me not to touch anything here. Floor swimming in urine. Sink blocked with water. Plastic bowl catching excess water from cistern. Had the kids not been desperate to use the toilet, we would have left and gone elsewhere. Such a disappointment as the owners are well know to Edinburgh social media. To allow this establishment get into this state is beyond belief!!!!

I loved my experience at Civerinos! I stumbled upon them while walking around Edinburgh and I could see why they were so popular as soon as they opened their doors. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza and loved it. The portion was generous and very tasty.

The 20" pepperoni pizza was great!!! JUST LOOK AT HOW PERFECT IT IS!!! 😌😌 Tastes just as good as it looks. Would definitely come back for more. ❤️❤️

Slices are HUGE. Food is good. Vibe is fun.

Pre-ordered a pepperoni pizza and requested for it to be cut in the order notes. Arrived on time for my collection only to have to wait at the door while the staff at the counter sat on their phones, even after ringing the bell by the door, and they didn't even bother to cut the pizza. The pizza itself was fine. A bit overpriced for what I'd comfortably pay for it. Customer service needs work, especially when you give customers a specific timeslot for collection, it's not like I was stopping by unexpectedly.

The pizza crust was completely burnt, almost like charcoal, and the chicken toppings were seriously overcooked. The fries were poorly fried, likely thrown into cold oil, making them soggy and unappetizing. More than half of the food went straight into the trash. I reached out to the company via email before posting this, but it seems like customer feedback doesn’t matter to them at all.

Bought a Margherita slice. Tasted amazing! The service was excellent, everything was perfect. If you want a bite of great pizza, this is the place to go!

Best pizza I've had maybe ever.

Excellent pizza. Obviously you cannot expect Neapolitan pizza but the classic pizza that you can eat abroad cooked in a wood oven. It's not heavy but very tasty. Young and friendly staff.

Very nice pizza here, friendly staff.

Stunning pizza though late at night so options were limited in store. Great service.

I love Civerinos. Unfussy pizza by the slice in a really chilled environment. I think most people go for the NY style (Slices and full 14" and 20" pizzas) and I get that but I really like the Detroit style slices they offer here. The double pep is a belter. Great place to have a quick bite. The menus vary by site so check them out, I've only been to the Forrest Rd branch.

Was there 6 months ago, got slice of margarita burn from bottom and top. I give them a chance today.... got myself slice of triple margarita....I do not fancy cold mozzarella and parmesan. Base was heavy like it had half kg of flour in it. Great service and lots of " cold " cheese, that's the stars. I MUST SAY I FEAL LIKE THIS IS REVIEW OF SLICE PIZZA you guys sell. I still hope you are better with large pizza. I stopped buying full sizes pizzas from you a couple of years ago. Meybe if you don't wonna put some love in to slices ... just don't advertise and don't sell them.

Always fantastic. Kind staff, delicious food what's can't go wrong

Their vegan aubergine pizza was so good I had an existential crisis, convinced it was actual cheese. Very impressive food.

Fue totalmente cuesta abajo, aunque el servicio nunca ha sido genial al menos se podía disfrutar de una buena pizza... .. ya no! ¡Mi última margarita era completamente negra en la parte inferior, 100% quemada! Nunca sabré cómo podrían servirlo.

The food was so delicious! there were four of us, and we ordered some garlic balls, two 14" pizzas (Double Pepperoni and Mushroom), and some canned drinks. The waiting time wasn't long as we've waited outside for around 10 minutes and inside for around 15 till me got our food. I'm very satisfied with staff members very polite, understandable and most importantly happy :). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Had to visit Civerinos to get their giant mozzarella stick as seen on Food Review Club! Was quick to be seated and food was served quite quickly - we only wanted a light snack so didn’t opt for the pizza but based on the number of take away orders, the pizzas must be decent! Would visit again just for the giant mozzarella stick! The mac and cheese balls were decent too - perfect during the cold weather.

The service and atmosphere were amazing, with all the staff dressed up in cool clothes and accessories! The food was alright, good but nothing too special. There was also a short hair in my food that i found on my last slice 😅 Hope that they can improve on hygiene levels - making sure everyone including the guy chefs wear hairnets or something haha!

Yesterday I ordered 2 Pizzas and inadvertently chose the pick up option with Deliveroo. When I noticed I decided to drive and pick it up myself. Minutes later when I tried to check the update, it said it had been picked up with out me even leaving my front door. I had already been charged for the Pizzas and after contacted deliveroo they said they couldn't help as it said a completed order and staff should have checked order details before handing over the pizza. I feel someone messed up and I paid for it. No one picked up the phone after I tried calling multiple times for an explanation. I'm just really sad, I like Civerinos a lot and so far had a great experience in their other locations as I support local businesses. Hopefully management will look into this.

Every now and then you find that absolute jewel of a place and for us this was it. The food was out of this world and served by staff who obviously enjoyed what they do, all rolled up in such a relaxed fun vibe. Do not miss out on dining here as it will be an experience you will talk about for ages.

Absolutely wonderful service. Servers and chefs are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. Pizza was delicious. Super speedy service, seemed like we had only just ordered! Will definitely be back.

10/10, best pizza I’ve ever had! The perfect amount of crispy base, soft cheese goodness with an amazing crust all the way around topped with parmesan 😮‍💨 Staff are great, super informative and super helpful! Vibe is top notch, and the interior is wicked, also seating outside. Just bangin’

Una delle pizze più buone mai mangiate, quella che ha colpito di più me e il mio ragazzo è stata la New York slice e quella da 14” (penso che l’impasto sia pressapoco lo stesso). Ottima la margherita e la pepperoni, può fare concorrenza a delle pizzerie italiane (ovviamente si tratta di un’altra tipologia di prodotto, e a chi in una recensione precedente ha scritto che il miele nella pizza è immangiabile consiglio un corso di inglese così che la prossima volta quando vedrà scritto honey tra gli ingredienti potrà non ordinarla, non facciamoci riconoscere grazie). Ci è piaciuta così tanto che abbiamo girato tutte le sedi, anche a Glasgow, le più buone erano quelle di Stockbridge e quella di Portobello Beach, tra l’altro qua il ragazzo è stato carinissimo e ci ha offerto anche una slice. Anche il prezzo per la Scozia è onestissimo.

Only one vegan pizza option but it's a cracker...one slice is enough. Super friendly staff too 🙂

I give it a 2 because the food was quite good, the staff a 10 but too expensive for two pizzas (peperoni and margarita) 1 cola and 1 fries in exchange about €70, very expensive

Front of house (male) pretty rude bug food good when hot

Nice restaurant with delicious pizza. Prices reasonable for Edinburgh. Unfortunately it was a bit cramped and very crowded in the evening! Unfortunately the toilets were dirty.

Great music great staff... more importantly great pizza.. would definitely recommend

Food is very tasty, the 'restaurant' has a decent range of pizzas (nothing too special but it's solid), and the portions are very good. Truffle fries are very tasty and you get loads of them. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a simple and quick food stop.

The chefs were lovely I wasn’t from the area so they helped me. The staff were lovely and it’s a chilled atmosphere. The pizza was delicious! I want to go back to try the dough balls!

Best Italian style pizzas at affordable rates and student discounts. Unique cheese that adds great a flavour. It's a must try

Keywords: Customer Insensitivity Potential Racism After a hectic day at college, I happened to visit this small eatery called Giverninos which apparently has a good rating. After a few minutes of waiting outside, I was greeted by a staff who enquired what I’d like to have to which I responded by saying that: I’d like to have a slice of margarita pizza. She took my order for a small pizza and asked me to wait outside which I found rude and unwarranted because I was seeing that everyone was being offered a place inside. When I asked her concerning why I wasn’t offered a place, she bluntly said that “ I assumed you wanted takeout.” This is peak poor customer needs evaluation. Is this how you treat international students? That’s very racist I should say. I think the organisation should give staff some cross cultural training and etiquette. After all, every customer brings profit to you- big or small and your salaries are literally dependent on every pence a customer brings in. So, it would be better to take such sensitive things into consideration while conducting business! Extremely disappointed!!

Easily the best vegan pizza I've ever had. Shared a 14" and a portion of fries, be aware the portions are quite big. very much recommended. Cost just over £25 for the two of us.

Friendly service but it took 15 minutes to order even though it wasn't busy and the next table ordered in 2 minutes. Everything else was great the food, prices and where it is.

This is my absolutely favorite vegan pizza! So good and a cute little spot to enjoy it.

Excellent pizza and cozy atmosphere makes you feel like a local!!

Amazing Pizza! The price for the quality and taste, as well as the quantity you get is incredible. A 20 inch pizza, one of the biggest ,I have seen, together with the top-tier quality of the pizza makes this one of the most value-for-money locations in Edinburgh! highly reccomended.

The slimiest pizza !!!! Like eating slugs 🐌 Both of us agreed this was the worst pizza we’ve ever had, even worse than 99p freezer pizza. Also there was only ONE veggie option left, not even a margarita. Disappointing all round. Best avoided.

Start from the main - don't repeat my mistake don't order Italian Sausage pizza 🍕 Now , overview: one of the busiest pizza bar in town, where you may take a slice of Juicy pizza for takeaway. We had a chance to sit inside. Pizza looks so nice, so slim and really Juicy and it's become a problem coz to eat it - you need to roll it first. Next flavour - too much Italian spice's, too much herb and other things which are supposed not to be there. Mb I'll back to try something else from menu, but 100% not Italian Sausage 🥲

Strongly recommend the spicy salami pizza, absolutely delicious. The 20’’ was amazing for 3 people, 2 if you’re very hungry. Good service generally. Only downside was that we asked for crispy onions on the side, it wasn’t brought to the table. We were then told that they don’t serve them on the side, only on the pizza, but it wasn’t added to ours. However they refused to remove the item from the bill because the manager claimed they onions were added. According to our photo they weren’t, but we were not going to start a fight over 1.5 pounds.

Take the thick pizza it's better

The food is delicious but a hair was found in the middle of the food.

A bit slow due to the demand of orders but it was really good. Worth the wait.

went to the West End location and felt welcome right away, Heather is a right laugh and gave us some delish recommendations! Will be popping by again the next time I'm in Glasgow

Food was decent for lunch. The giant mozzarella stick is OK but they do not offer or have any marina sauce for dipping. The margherita pizza was just cheese with a basil leaf. Garlic and parm fries were pretty good.

i will never financially recover from this pizza. ..........Like tell me why a medium sized pizza was £18 when my friend got a slice for a few quid that was half the size of my whole pizza..........

Honestly one of the highlights of my trip to Edinburgh. The Italian sausage and deep dish pizzas were especially excellent. Staff are super friendly.

A bit of unusual format (those ordering takeaway can eat at tables outside) but once it's explained by a patient hostess and you get table it is all great. Pizza a fantastic and service is excellent. Thank you team!

Excellent place, food and price!!!

Ate here twice last week at fringe and it was amazing. The pepperoni had so much flavor and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend!

Entré a tomar un bocadillo rápido, acabo de coger una rodaja de la margarita. Realmente estaba llenando, aunque creo que dos al menos sería mejor si vienes aquí con el estómago vacío. El precio también era bastante bueno.

Just to say thanks to the staff in the Edinburgh shop last night, there was a small mix up with my order near closing and they were about to shut without getting my order to me, one of the girls on shift offered some alternatives or a refund which I accepted but then also made sure I got a pizza to take home, really appreciated that and the pizza was lovely, thank you!

I am from the east coast of USA and can honestly say Civerinos had better NY style pizza than most pizza places in NYC.

El hijo de mi amigo me recomendó Civerinos, fuimos el sábado a comer durante el festival era una larga cola para llevar pero para sentarnos esperamos menos de 10 minutos, esta pizza es tan bonita y las porciones son masivas, comimos una porción de papas fritas y dos rebanadas de pizzas y chapuzón de ajo... eso fue más que suficiente para 3 de nosotros incluyendo un estómago vacío niño de 12 años

Photos don't do the size of these pizza slices or the portion of fries justice! When they arrived my friend said "that slice is literally half your body" and it actually was (didn't stop me from eating the whole thing though) Can't complain about the size or the flavour - the first bite was heavenly. The fries were addictive and we scranned the whole lot happily - plenty of garlic & parmesan on there. All that plus a drink for £10.34, great prices for Edinburgh City centre. Super busy being Fringe season, first come first serve for a table but we were literally waiting two minutes. Really friendly staff. Our food came within 5 minutes of being ordered, so super fresh & tasty. You can see them making the pizzas from scratch which I love for the authentic vibe. Can't fault - my favourite pizza place in Edinburgh! A MUST VISIT.

Amazing pizza! Our food took a long time to be made. Disappointing, as others who ordered more complex things later than us were served first.

Civerinos is always good, intact I'm always convinced it's THE best pizza you can buy that I have tried. Fires and those dough bites. Omg!

Best pizza in Edinburgh, chill af and economical prices

Excellent spot and good value for money. The pizza slices are a quarter of a 20" pizza. Massive.

We LOVED the pizza! But even better then that was the amazing service - in particular Katie’s maths <3

My favorite Pizza in Edinburgh!

defo coming back next time i’m nearby. such heavenly pizza

Only specialized on pizza & sides. Limited options to eat.

Poor service & food. We sat down for a table of 2 and ordered Parmesan fries and two slices of pizza. The waiter gave us the wrong fries with no Parmesan, 5 mins later the fries were getting cold, fire alarm went off and shortly after pizza was served. As you can see in the photo the slice was burnt, completely inedible. Perhaps that’s why the fire alarm went off? Anyway looks like kitchen tried to cover it up by throwing cheese on top of it. Couldn’t even take one bite.

Cool place. Great pizza and atmosphere. Can be very busy at lunchtime, especially during the school terms but it's worth it.

La pizza era excelente como de costumbre, siendo cliente frecuente en el restaurante portobello. Sin embargo, el servicio era deficiente y un miembro del personal en particular era muy grosero, y el resto parecía tranquilo y desatendido. Esperamos 20 minutos después de estar sentados, momento en el que pregunté en el mostrador si había pedido allí o en la mesa, a lo que el camarero gruñó “mesa”. Mientras tanto, a otro grupo de clientes se les tomó el pedido a los 5 minutos de sentarse. Nuestras bebidas no se nos dieron, tuvimos que preguntar. Hay un cargo por servicio aplicado automáticamente que pagué ya que la camarera que toma el pago fue la más útil del grupo.

First time/last time here. I ordered a double pepperoni slice, a can of Coke and sat at an outdoor table. It took a while, which I didn’t mind. When the time came, they gave my order to someone else. Who ate it. When they realized the mistake, they made another…but it was rushed out and not fully hot (cold in the center/loads of unmelted cheese). I asked for them to heat it more and they returned it to me BURNT beyond being edible. It wasn’t particularly busy and makes me feel they burnt it out of passive-aggressive spite for asking. I took another bite and left it. Worst £9 I’ve ever spent on pizza or anything else.

The kitchen electricity unexpectedly ran out just after I ordered and the staff were just absolutely wonderful about it! They told us straight away and quickly offered to reheat another slice that was still warm, free of charge and immediately insisted on giving us a refund without us even asking! The wait staff girls were so kind and made our experience here so lovely! The food was delicious also! I never write reviews but felt compelled to make sure civernos know that the wait staff are absolutely stellar, especially the kind girl with red hair and blue trousers who was working at 4:30pm on Monday 8th July (I never got her name 😭)

Authentic amazing pizza! Margheritta pizza 5/5 Mozerella stick 3/5 (A bit too cheezy for me) French fries 6/5 ! One of the best fries I have ever had. Highly recommended

Perfect for a little pizza craving in between. The atmosphere is appropriate, the prices are fair and the service was friendly.

Slices are massive and food is pretty reasonably priced for the quality. The giant mozzarella stick and the jalapeno and margarita pizzas were very good and the slice is more than enough food for a moderate dinner as it's 1/4 of a 20 inch pizza. Good for a quick, tasty, and filling meal

Best pizza I’ve had in the UK!! Great NY and Detroit-style options, fresh and piping hot, and absolutely massive for one slice. Also love that you can just grab a slice vs a whole pizza. Highly recommend, already looking forward to going back.

They don't have allergens written on them and what's on the pizza

Service was grumpy, pizza was cold and that frozen margarita was one of the worst of our lives. No bueno.

I am from NY bow living in Edinburgh and this is the closest to authentic NYC pizza I have had in the UK! I.asked the owner and he learned in NY. I hope you put a location back in Corstorphine!

Best pizza we’ve had in a very long time! The fries, cheese stick and margarita were also just as delicious!🤤 it was so good we went 2 nights in a row.

Great frozen margaritas 🍸 and wonderful service - we called ahead To book a table but they do walk in - we got a table for 6 pretty easily. There are vegan and veggie options but I had the salami one - lovely!!!

We went here for lunch last weekend and unfortunately it didn't wow me. We ordered a pizza to share and the famous ft long mozzarella stick - this just tasted like a bigger version of something I'd buy from Iceland, and the pizza was very mediocre. The staff were nice enough but unfortunately I wouldn't come back.

First of all, I am a big Pizza fan! When I travel, I am always in the hunt for a great pizza! So far, the best Pizza I’ve had was in a Sicilian Pizzeria in Paris. I had seen reviews about Civerinos on YouTube and I flagged it as a spot that I had to try. And wow!! I can easily say that it is within the top 3 pizza places I have ever tried! And I have had pizza in many places around the world! First of all, I really liked the choice of flavors that were offered. Each slice is massive! It’s the size of a 1/4 of a 20” pizza! So the first time I went there, I had two slices. I remember one of them being the Jalapeño & Chimichuri. Just from the smell itself, I know it would be amazing! And oh boy did it ever deliver!! I had taken my time eating the first slice that the second one got a little cold by the time I ate it. So it’s not fair to rate it based on that (the second slice). So I went back the next day to have two more slices. This time, I ordered one slice at a time to make sure that the second one was still hot. I tried another flavor for my first and then ordered again the Jalapeño & Chimichuri as the second one. It was just too good!! I saw the table around me ordering their truffle fries and some the mozzarella stick (more like a baseball bat) and they looked delicious!! I could not have eaten more after those two slices. Perhaps if I lived there, I would come back just to try their other items, but for the time I was there, I couldn’t go without sampling their pizza slices. Their pricing is pretty fair for what you get. I would 100% recommend Civerinos! Just typing this review is making me hungry!!!

Friendly service, amazing pizza!

Philp was horrible. Was rude and is an empulsive liar. Haven’t had worse in worse service in my life. He was slevering all over the table and would acknowledge us ever. Very unhappy.

Came into civerinos today and was served by Charlotte - she was super friendly and attentive, great service! The pizza was pretty good also, vibes were nice and chill!

Slice of pizza was tasty so stick to those. The dough balls were terrible very stodgy and tasteless. Service was truly atrocious took ages to take our order when we arrived to a pretty empty place. Then took ages to bring the food despite the now full restaurant all being served in front of us. Offered to pay for another table after seeing the guy outside asking for money. But waiter looks at my like I was crazy hmm. In hindsight should have just given the guy some money but made to feel stupid for trying to help. Still not sure what that was all about. Any hoo. Order a take away slice here and you will be sorted.

Fantastic pizza. I got the buttermilk chicken pizza which I thought was an interesting idea that I wasn't sure about but it was delicious, went really nice with the pepperoni. The best thing though was the customer service. My waitress, Sophie was so attentive and kind, I really felt at home and well looked after. Would thoroughly recommend this place if you're looking for great stonebaked pizza in Edinburgh. I love that they do big individual slices as well!

went in today and was served by sophie - she was so helpful and really passionate! would definitely go again! food is absolutely yum too - slices are massive and so filling - thanks sophie for the recommendations!

Fabulous lunch or dinner spot. We had really great food and at a very fair price. All the staff were great and our sever Sophie was just the sweetest. I’d recommend it for any occasion!

Please bring back cousin vinny!!

Had an unreal experience at civerinos slice! Wonderful service from our waitress Rosa and delicious pizza made by star chefs Sam and Andrew. Thanks so much- will be back.

Amazing pizza! Staff were lovely, Nancy had some great recommendations & was very lovely and attentive.

Exceptional pizza for the UK. Especially the Detroit slices.

One star is also a lot. Unfortunately for us we ordered by selecting a pizza with spicy salami from the window only to then discover that honey and parsley had been added... honey in the pizza... I don't know how anyone could think of such a thing!!!. Needless to say, it was inedible and from what we saw at another table we weren't the only ones who left it on their plate.

The blonde girl was a maths genius, totally made our day and deserves a raise if you ask me

Excellent pizza slices with good service

Nice pizza but horrendous fries. Tried to kick us out of the restaurant because we used the bathroom.

We visited because of a vlogger. I was stoked to eat a good slice. I was disappointed. It was confusing to know if we should wait outside or come inside. It turns out that take out orders stand out but eat in should come in despite the sign on the door. We ordered a whole pizza. The bottom was soggy and tore apart when trying to remove it from the pan. I think it needed another minute or two in the pizza oven. I wouldn't try it again.

Pizza was below par, burnt and barely any topping. Also why is it cheaper to buy 4x slices of a 20" pizza than buying the whole thing?

Huge slices and portions of delicious food. The staff are great and the vibes are immaculate. They didn't have my first choice on the menu, but I can't fault them for their popularity to be fair. Got the Italian sausage pizza and seasoned fries. Will be back for more! Thanks folks!

Incredible. Among the top 3 best pizza in Edinburgh.

Pizza was first class, staff were nice but the place is cramped and could maybe do with a renovation
