So much choice and large portions. Depends on what you have, it can be expensive but guaranteed vegan. Allergies - explain to the staff who will let the kitchen know. Food is made to order. They also do takeaway if you come in and order. Small place so no wheelchair access. Child friendly, no dogs. Parking is on side streets. Better access by bus. We have been back there again and it's still excellent , still vegan and very friendly. Definitely advise booking a table in advance

A brilliantly cosy place, ran by the most lovely family who delivered the tastiest and most fantastic meal we had the pleasure of enjoying during our stay in Edinburgh. We both had the garlic pizza bread, carbonara, and then separately enjoyed the tiramisu and the mousse of the day; pistachio and chocolate. All of which were absolutely delicious. We will be coming back for certain! Thank you so much! 🤩

Amazing vegan place! Lots of unique options like vegan prawns or special cheeses. The whole family enjoyed it! Sometimes waiting takes a bit and definitely book in advance, but this is to be expected from such a small place. Also mind the price: it's expensive, but that's also worth it for this high end vegan quality. The atmosphere was also very cool.

Cosy environment and had raving reviews but we were left very disappointed by the food and the service. Worth mentioning walking in there was a funky sulphurous scent across the restaurant (which dissipated throughout our time there) We waited an hour for our food and only got told after the long wait there had been a mix up with our food. We were kindly offered soft drinks on the house, I just wish it happened 20-30min into our wait, not by the end of the hour. The gluten free focaccia was £15 for 8 slices (£2 surcharge for it being gluten free which we only realised once the bill came - could be marked clearer on the menu). I had the spaghettone novopizza, which claims to be their specialty. For £22 I got severely overcooked pasta with tinned tomato sauce, two basil leaves and some vegan cream cheese on top. I am all for high quality ingredients and found the vegan cheeses to be pleasant (which is hard to find) but I did not think that the quality or taste was reflected in the price… Would hope this is a one off mishap given the rest of the reviews…

This is a lovely little independent vegan restaurant. Although it's called Nova Pizza they also serve pasta, salads and desserts. Our barata starter was delicious. There were 3 of us and we all chose different pizzas and they were amazing, really gorgeous bread base with very tasty toppings. We chose the pistachio cheesecake and the oreo cheesecake for dessert, you would never know they were vegan, they are just really good desserts. I would highly recommend a visit here, but make sure you book, as it is very popular! It is a small restaurant and they are focusing on quality and that ia reflected in the amazing food.

Ordered cheesecake to take back to hotel as too full to eat it in the restaurant. Loved all the crocheted flowers/plants in the room too. If you are vegan and in Edinburgh you should visit here. Even if you are not vegan, visit here. Wish I lived closer.

I was in Edinburgh for a nice solo birthday getaway. I was looking for a place to enjoy my birthday dinner & was looking for somewhere casual, chill with plenty of vegan options. Well, I found just that & it happened to be a fully vegan restaurant. Novapizza is a cozy spot and a great place for a date, small celebration or if you’re like me and enjoy a solo experience. The customer service was on point and the waitress ensured I was looked after all evening. The menu - so many amazing things to choose from and all the food that was coming out looked mouth watering. I got the focaccela romana as a starter, the Carbonara as the main and the tiramisu. Everything was 100% and on point. It was just as good as being in Italy - which is no surprise as it’s run by lovely Italians. Thank you for the lovely experience, I’ll be back for sure!

We were bought a gift voucher as a wedding gift so 5 star for my friend who is not vegan on finding you. Since going vegan two years ago the food I have missed most is good quality Italian food. Pat on the back to the chef, The food was simply amazing, some of the best vegan food I have ever had in fact the Carbonara was amazing and the deserts: well our only problem was deciding which ones to have. Even if you’re not vegan you simply have to try Nova pizza out, they will not disappoint. As someone who works in hospitality the service was also 5 star. We will definitely be back.

Been here a few times previously and really enjoyed it, but really dissatisfied this time . The 1hr 15min table time is insufficient for 3 courses with drinks. The waiter failed to mention this until after she had taken our desert order then became extremely rude when we were unable to finish on time. The main waiter taking orders should not be front of house as she has neither the training or the manner to deal with customers in a polite and professional manner. The other female waiter was the polar opposite, very polite and friendly. If you enjoy wolfing down your food without any conversation with your partner / friends, you may enjoy it, otherwise I would suggest an alternative restaurant. Very disappointed in the changes witnessed as our previous visits have been enjoyable but this experience will be our last given the high prices don't match the poor and rude level of service

Fabulous vegan food in a lovely area of Edinburgh. We were visiting our daughter who has recently moved to Stockbridge and she booked this for our penultimate night here. They were very busy and our table wasn’t quite ready so we popped to a local pub and came back. The service and food were brilliant and it’s nice to go to a purely vegan restaurant where our daughter can eat everything. We had lasagne, mushroom and truffle spaghetti and an aubergine pizza, followed by Tiramisu. Everything was delicious! This restaurant is tiny with 18 seats and you may have to wait but it’s definitely worth it! We will be back next time we visit. This is the nicest food we had during our five night stay.

Been here a few times before & it was excellent. Food nice but overpriced for pasta & pizza. Our bill was put on the table while we were still eating dessert which was very rude. Then told that we only had 1hr 15 mins for our booking which I appreciate was mentioned on our open table booking but we weren't clock watching & not sure why we we were asked if we wanted dessert/ coffees just 5 mins before our time was up then. We had to down our coffees & wine quickly & were made to feel like we were a nuisance as the waitress made a sarcastic comment about just asking other people to wait for a table. We had just spent a lot of money so 1 hr 15 mins is not long enough to enjoy a meal, really disappointed with attitude, won't be back.

I chose Novapizza for a girls dinner with my aunt and cousin for a birthday weekend in Edinburgh. We’re all dairy free and when I saw a vegan Italian it was a no brainer! And I’m so glad we went! The food was unbelievable, I’m also gluten free and everything I ate was delicious! The gnocci was so creamy! And the focaccia didn’t taste gluten free at all, it was that good! The service was also lovely and the whole experience was very nice! I highly recommend if you want a delicious, cosy Italian meal.

My family of 3 had to cancel less than the stated 24 hour cancellation notice due to my 18 month old son being ill. We had tried calling but couldn’t get through due to the opening time being 17:00. We were told we would be charged £30 per person including my son for the cancellation. We had explained the situation which was met with a rude attitude and no flexibility. It’s a shame as we like to help out smaller business’ but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for those with young families.

Amazing! Such a special little place and find for vegans and non-vegans alike. They were so kind and engaging and helped to give us great suggestions (thank you, Serena!). Make sure to book a reservation ahead of time, as it’s a smaller restaurant. The small size makes for a great atmosphere, though! In reference to the photos: We got the burrata cheese plate (vegan burrata, homemade pesto, tomatoes and rocket) with an order of focaccella romana (soft and thick focaccia bread). The combination of all of those together in one bite was truly incredible. Could eat that focaccia for every meal! We also ordered the carbonara pasta and funghi e prosciutto pizza. Both were very good! It was so hard to decide, so we can’t wait to go back and try other options. The burrata and focaccella romana will be an every time choice, though!

Was so much looking forward to eating here with my family after attending a university event in Edinburgh. My husband has visited before when in Edinburgh and raved about it. Unfortunately, we had our day in Edinburgh when the weather experience meant there was 3 weeks of rain in one weekend. I'd booked an evening slot, but we walked to the restaurant for just after opening time (wet through and cold ) to see if we could change the booking. They were able to change it slightly, but we were unable to wait two hours in the conditions we were in. I rang them with 1 hour 30 minutes notice to cancel, (with great regret- had been so looking forward to I know what would have been amazing meals), but we were told we'd have to pay the cancellation free. I understand this- of course we were only booking to support a wonderful vegan business and enjoy the food and I had planned this in advance. We did not want to cause them to be out of pocket! However, I noted that the cancellation fee was taken well over an hour before we were due to eat there. Yes- it's 20 pounds per person. I would advise people to ABSTAIN FROM USING OPEN TABLE. It's very, very rare that I have ever had to cancel anything. This was a disappointing end to the trip.

Was visiting Edinburgh with my family for the weekend having travelled to Scotland from the states. Thought I booked in for dinner on the Sunday but turns out I booked for the Saturday - my mistake. However, when I phoned them up (having received a missed call from the restaurant) and realized the error, they were completely apathetic. I explained the situation and requested a cancellation for Saturday and a table for Sunday. I was told they didn't have any availability for Sunday and that I was too late - they had already charged me £20 per person for my Saturday booking (that's £60 for the three of us). I asked if that could be cancelled and they said there was nothing they could do. In no way did they attempt to accommodate my family for us to actually be able to eat there. I understand a cover charge for last minute bookings and in my experience this is maybe £5 per head or £10 if the booking is for parties of 6 or more. This restaurant had full availability when I went to book (one of the reasons why I didn't realize I had gotten my days wrong) More importantly - THERE WERE NO TERMS/CONDITIONS DETAILING I WOULD BE CHARGED when I went through the booking process. I never checked a box - in fact I unchecked the marketing promotion boxes. It wasn't until I went back and looked at my confirmation email - which you receive AFTER you make the booking - that I saw this: "CREDIT CARD POLICY This restaurant requires a credit card to secure this booking. All credit card information will be processed securely. No-shows or cancellations less than 1 day in advance will be subject to a charge of £20 per person. Changes to guest count made less than 1 day in advance will be subject to a charge of £20 per person." This is ONLY detailed on the confirmation emails for bookings made same day - NOT for bookings made in advance, but they still charge you if you cancel within a day of the booking regardless. So even if I had noticed my mistake immediately after booking, I STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED even though I they don't make you aware of the charge until after it's too late.

The BEST vegan pizza I've had in 12 years as a vegan! I'm not kidding here folks. The crust was thin but the pizza was loaded with toppings. I had a pizza bianca, Cacciatora. (Again, the best!) My husband had the Meat Feast. He really enjoyed it but I think he liked mine more. We also had the gnocchi pesto di rucola e pomodori confit. They were light and fluffy with a great sauce and the walnuts gave a nice contrast and crunch. For dessert, I had the affogato which was simple but fantastic! My husband has the tiramisu, it was fluffy and rich without being too sweet. Now. The employees...they were delightful, kind and jokey. They made us feel comfortable and welcome. They also knew the menu like the back of their hands. I appreciate that kind of attention when dining at a one of a kind restaurant. When I'm back in Edinburgh, I'm definitely going there again.

Have been here 3 times, twice in July and once in August. Can highly recommend in July - the venue is small but relaxed and cosy, the waiter was talkative and friendly, the food was phenomenal and fairly priced (especially the carbonara, and the carpaccio pizza they had as a special at one point). In August, everything on the menu was £4 more expensive than it was in July, the staff a bit more brusque (including taking my plate away before my partner was done eating, which felt a little impolite and made them feel rushed) and my meal was still delicious but presented a bit more slapdash than it had been before. I understand businesses have to run a little differently during the Fringe, but these changes tipped the balance to the experience not really being worth it. Would give 5 stars for how I assume it is 11 months of the year, but would not recommend going if you're visiting for the Fringe.

This is slightly on the pricier side but worth it if you want a treat (and multiple courses!). We had the carbonara and a calzone followed by tiramisu which was amazing. Would definitely come back if in Edinburgh again.

Everything was incredible here! My friend and I were shocked everything was vegan as there was so much choice and it all tasted incredible! I had the white sauce 4 ‘cheese’ pizza which was the best pizza I have ever tasted, it was so creamy. As someone with a milk allergy I didn’t have to worry at all which was amazing. We ended up having 3 courses and sharing everything. Highlights were everything but in particular the ‘burrata’ for starter and the Tiramisu (yes that’s right a vegan tiramisu!). Made our first night in Edinburgh start off well and if I lived closer I’d definitely be a regular! Make sure you visit if you’re in the city!

Novapizza Vegan Kitchen, you are a dream come true! 🌟 Since embracing the vegan lifestyle, I've been on the hunt for that perfect spot, and my search happily came to an end in Edinburgh. This, my friends, was the birthday gift I didn't know I needed. Walking into Novapizza felt like stepping into an Italian paradise. The cozy size lends itself to the most intimate dinner experience, and the Italian-inspired decor added an authentic touch that truly warmed my heart. 🇮🇹❤️ Now, let's talk about the food – prepare for a taste sensation beyond words! 🍽️ Ordering the calzone was a genius move on my part – it was both scrumptiously large and incredibly delicious. I must confess, I may have over-indulged in the delectable bread they bring to the table, leaving me wonderfully satisfied but not quite hungry enough to conquer the whole calzone. Thankfully, leftovers meant I got to experience its magic all over again the next day, after a quick warm-up in the oven. Mind-blowing! My husband opted for the pizza and the lasagna, and it was a slice of heaven in every bite, just like my calzone. 🍕😋 For anyone on the lookout for exceptional vegan Italian fare, Novapizza is an absolute must-visit. The flavors, the ambiance, and the heartwarming experience make it a culinary gem that's not to be missed.

This is our 2nd visit to Nova Pizza, but the first where we brought friends. I’m short, the pasta was good, the service was average (the lady with the short black hair verging on being very rude) and the prices ridiculous. Between £19 and £22 for a bowl of pasta, £135 for 4 with bread, main course and one person having wine. And all of this sitting in the cold. We asked if we could have the door closed, we were told that it’s too hot in the kitchen with the door closed. So, the customers can freeze but the chef is ok. Get some ventilation in the kitchen and keep the very expensive paying customers warm. We normally go to their sister restaurant, Sorra Lella, which is 100 times better.

Un restaurante familiar, pequeño pero acogedor. Un servicio muy cercano y atento. La mejor comida italiana vegana que he comido nunca y con recetas familiares de los dueños. Pedimos (para dos): Burrata, la pasta Cacio e Pepe y la pizza Funghi e Prosciuto y Tiramisú (receta propia) por recomendación de la casa y fueron un acierto. Tutto perfetto e delizioso.

Really indulgent vegan pizzas. We tried the cacciatora and the meat feast pizzas. The cacciatora has seitan, roast potatoes, garlic, olives, artichokes, rosemary, tomato and vegan mozzarella, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat feast loaded with flavourful olives, onions etc. Whether or not you are vegan, I would definitely recommend. (We are not vegan, but had an excellent meal.)

I bought cannoli, but they were so small! The vanilla one could not have been more than 2 inches long! My Italian source says that the small versions, cannolicchio are at least 3.5 inches. I know that I am a tourist, but this was unbelievable. In addition, the oil soaked through the paper bag in which these were packaged. Have no desire to return to this establishment.

Lovely meal. Booking essential. Smoked burrata & palma ham, lovely, beef ragu excellent, ravioli & tiramisu all superb, service attentive. Good wine list which also has excellent choices of good single glasses which was a real treat. Packed in a Tuesday evening with locals .
