Origano Cafe & Pizzeria in Edinburgh, City of

One of the nicest pizzas ove had in years. I was in a bit of a rush but the food came pretty quickly without asking. Pizza was excellent from base to toppings and cooked perfectly. Lovely cosy atmosphere as well. I'm rarely down this side of Edinurgh, but I might make a bot more of an effort now I know it's here.

what a yummy food , my husband for years had a favorite pizza in Edinburgh but this one takes over! starters are awesome good aswell , need a few more visits to try more!

The food was delicious. I love the simple, clear menu. I was there for a friend's birthday and so big group. Lovely atmosphere and the service was both friendly, helpful and efficient! Will defo return! Lovely evening due in part of the great food and vibe

Great restaurant for home cooked options and desserts

Lovely food. Was a busy night and bit noisy, couldn't hear conversation but lovely place.

Great pizza, awesome atmosphere and fantastic service. Will come back next time we're looking for pizza in Edinburgh.

Great pizza and fantastic banoffee pie. Lovely service

Absolutely amazing, the service was top notch, pizza was beautiful.

This is the best pizza in town 🍕

I was in the area for 4 nights and kept a going back, 3 times. The pizza is phenomenal, I would travel back to Scotland just to have dinner here again.

Fantastic place. Edinburgh's best pizzas!

Fantastic Italian pizzas in a nice atmosphere. Service is on point too.

We wonderfully accommodated as a large group. The pizza menu has so many incredible combinations with top quality ingredients. It made the choice difficult and every pizza selected on our table was ten out of ten delicious. A great reason to return time and time again to try them all. Thank you!

Pizzas were amazing, with very good quality ingredients. The dough was fresh and baked to the best quality in the pizza stove that guests can observe. I've seen my kid eaten whole pizza for the first time 😁 P.S. to the kitchen You absolutely rule, guys. Jest pan królem pizzy na tej wyspie 🤩

Very nice place and nice people. Delicious food, very friendly atmosphere. We organized a birthday party for a 4-year-old here and I was very pleased with all the help and kindness of the staff (especially Ben, who is the head of the restaurant). Thank you and I recommend

Beautiful food, relaxing chilled atmosphere, staff friendly would highly recommend

I tried the Margherita pizza and it was delicious and the workers were nice and helpful. I recommend it 👍🏻

Perfect pizza, exceptionally very good. A shower of flavors. Very reasonable prices.

We love going here. Great for vegetarians and gluten free people. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are lovely

Our family favourite. Great pizza, service is cheerful depending on who's working. Recommended!

Perfect, pleasant and attentive staff. The pizzas are excellent, the dough is quite thin, the ingredients very well measured to taste each taste, thank you for this pleasant moment. I forgot the tiramisu is very good too

Amazing Italian restaurant! We had the antipasti, goat cheese salad and pizza and it was all amazing. Some of the best Italian we have had!

Came across this place whilst walking up Leith Walk looking for somewhere for dinner, we were not expecting to find somewhere serving such good gluten free pizza! A new local favourite.

There is no sign indicating that this is not a dog-friendly café. I reserved a table for two, planning to enjoy time with my partner and our small dog (about 1 kg). However, when the waitress saw our dog, she informed us that the café is not dog-friendly and we couldn't be served. This was the most unpleasant experience we've ever had. Please put a sign at the entrance stating that pets are not allowed to avoid this awkward situation, as many other cafes and restaurants do.

Excellent pizza and great service

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere!

Chicago girls agree this is the best pizza in Scotland. The service was amazing and the pizza was out of this world! Ava was was lovely!

Best pizza in a long time. Highly recommended!

Came here very hungry looking forward to a big fat cannellonni (£15.95) that ended up looking canne-lonely on a huuuuuge plate, with a conveniently small dip in the middle. The pizza is better value for the size. Were both tasty but just wasn't enough to be satisfying and not justifying the price. Garlic bread also good but measley portion of 4 thin half slices of puffy white toast for £3.95, maybe the candles are organic gluten free and free range and very expensive so the food covers that cost of those.

Me and my partner went this afternoon to try a Pizza. And we have to say that Pizza is the best in Edinburgh. There is no words to discribe the taste. Also the gentelman and Lady who served us were really nice and polaid. We gonna come back without doubt.

Proper tasty pizza. I had the Milano, and I would’ve taken a phot but I ate it too quickly. I also had the rocket and Parmesan salad. Deeeeelicious

Excellent pizza! Too bad the waitress we had was not very pleasant, the table was not cleaned and sticky. I still recommend it for the very pleasant place and the really good food.

I’d definitely recommend this place! Ones of the most delicious pizzas I’ve eaten :) Staff were really friendly, fast and helpful. 10/10!

Just a gem. Our waiter went above and beyond to accommodate our party that had a few food allergies - gluten and diary intolerances. Everything we ordered was delicious. Love this place!

Proper wood-fired pizza, nice, thin crust. Well documented. Very friendly ladies in service.

First time trying origano cafe, The service here was amazing! All the ladies we're extremely great provided the best service completely blew me away. The food was amazing really hearty food that you can tell is Homemade and not from a box in the freezer out back. The atmosphere was amazing was really welcoming and inviting. Would highly recommend and would come back again. Can even get a Bus from Prince street straight outside if you're like me and was on holiday so very easy to find and get too.

The atmosphere is just amazing, the candle lit tables and low lighting really gives it such a romantic feel, the nice lo-fi/ jazz aswell is absoloutely perfect. pizza was incredible and servers were lovely, will definately come here again!

One of the best melanzani that I have ever taste 😋 the pizza is perfect but need some spices to give it taste 👌🏻

It's definitely different from every pizzeria and cafe. You can see chefs making your pizza while sitting by a lovely table. The staff is amazing, food is well prepared almost tasted like in Rome, someone definitely knows what they are doing with their food. My mocha was milky and rich, definitely something new. Worth giving it a shot and going outside of the commercial centre of Edinburgh to actually taste some proper food.

Can't believe I've never came here before. Been seriously missing out. This is hands down the best and most authentic neopoliton pizza in Edinburgh. It's not even a competition. The dough was perfectly cooked. Light. Crispy. Tasty. The quality of the bread in general was just amazing. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant was great too. Perfect for a date night, or special occasion. If you are a pizza guy like me then this is a must visit in Edinburgh. I would imagine that you will be as impressed as i was. 10/10

Been coming here for years. Pizza is incredible. Though the Bruschetta was just “ok” considering the amount and the price.

The pizzas are amazing! Need to say that service is good but not the best. Normally i order home but im a usual customer so i try to go there often as i live near by. Prices are decent for what you get and being in Edinburgh

A very nice place and good food. The dishes are big. And they make pretty good Italian coffee.

One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh, pizza is absolutely delicious and the Tiramisu is 10/10!

Super cute backyard pizzeria, delivery services go all out and yet the food from ordering to the table takes less than 5 minutes. Price and taste great.

Expensive - adequate service from an unfriendly brusque waitress - wine (red) served at twice room temperature - starter was sharing platter that lacked at least several of the items advertised including olives - only positive was that the other ( friendlier) waitress offered us more water. I don't usually post reviews on restaurants but in this case I make an exception. Poor and very pricey.

Italian restaurant and pizzeria with a nice menu, pleasant staff, delicious pizzas

Very friendly service, great pizza. Despite the restaurant being full, we were still served between reservations. Great atmosphere. There were 4 of us and we were all very satisfied.

Hands down one of the best pizzas that I have ever had. We tried the fungi and Valtellina and both were remarkably great. They have the perfect amount of sauce and topping and the dough is cooked to perfection. It is delicious from center to the crust with amazing leopard patterns on the crust. The staff are cordial and the ambient is really nice. Overall, a great experience.

It is a very nice and very warm place, the girls are very friendly and the food is very good.

I ate one of the best gluten-free pizzas ever, I had a capricciosa and I can tell you that it deserved a lot, the super friendly service, spectacular atmosphere 😍 if you happen to be allergic like me to gluten and eggs, trust this pizzeria, I celebrated the birthday well my wedding anniversary ❤️ I recommend it.

Very good food. All pizzas (but only large) can be made gluten free and the base is really good. Very happy with the experience! We had to take-away as the portions were big.

Amazing staff and one of my favourite pizza places in the city 💕

Lovely place for a catch-up with friends. Good food and helpful staff

Excellent food in a lovely rustic environment

Great pizzas and well stocked plate of antipasti

Had a delicious pizza takeaway from here at the weekend! Stunning pizza and even better garlic mayo dip!

Amazing pizza, lovely staff. Do yourself a favour and visit

Not the friendliest of welcomes. Did think about trying somewhere else while waiting. Couldn't fault the pizzas though.

Busy but good service. Freshly made pizza excellent

The dishes are very good and the intimate setting gives a charm to the restaurant. The prices are still quite high.

My boyfriend and I had a really great time here with some amazing pizza (and wine!). My gluten free pizza base had been pre made to avoid cross contamination (coeliac win) and tasted brilliant. Lovely thin, crispy crust.

Lovely but no tiramisu available

I live local but this is the first time here, will be back. Great food, atmosphere and lovely staff!

Fantastic gluten free pizza! Pizza was tasty, service was fantastic, Hungarian white wine was also very nice!

Always a winner . Great food. Great staff. Ben is a delight!

I love this place! High quality Italian cuisine - never too much!

Great evening at Origano - good service and good food. Definitely try their desserts

For an unforgettable Italian dining experience, Origano restaurant is a must-visit, offering a delectable selection of pizzas and pastas, complemented by the exceptional service of their attentive and charming staff. It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to indulge in authentic flavors and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

This is my idea of the perfect pizzeria. It smells great and looks great. The staff are friendly and knowledgable about coeliac disease. My daughter loved her gluten free pizza and we enjoyed ours too. The wine was great and the puddings were excellent. Delighted that there is a really nice gluten free warm orange cake available for pudding on the menu, most places just offer ice cream for coeliacs. Highly recommended!

We have eaten at this restaurant before and there is no doubt the food offering and atmosphere is first class. It was no surprise that when we wanted to book this time around there were no tables BUT - and it is a big BUT their on line booking service is terrible - you put in your requirements and 'wait till they get back to you at their convienence ' - I e-mailed @ 10am and over 4 hours later I got a response saying - full up. Good for them - but the customer waited over 4 hours to be told. When I gave feedback that such a booking service did not have the customer at the heart - the reply was rather 'sad' - ' we are a small family business - don't have a proper booking platform - don't attend till after 2pm ' - customers have a choice and waiting over 4 hours for the privilege of a reply is poor service - so yes their product is good - but more focus on customer retention and a proper booking platform or be up front on the web site that it could take many hours to get back and if that is not OK then maybe try another restaurant - control expectations or customers will think twice before considering. A poor experience.

The atmosphere was nice although quite cold and chilli. We ordered two pizzas, the base was so good but the sauce and toppings were not as expected.

Beautiful little Italian in Edinburgh! Staff very welcoming & polite, for the food hands down the best pizza in town with the added bonus of value for money. Go!!! You won’t be disappointed

Lovely restaurant and food. The atmosphere is delightful and the staff really friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend it for a special occasion or even just a nice bite to eat.

Atmosphere? Bellissimo. Pizza? Squisito. Service? Rapido. If you're looking to treat yourself or show someone special some love, you must stop at Origano. 🍕🤌

Food was fantastic. Service was incredible and the atmosphere suits this type of restaurant.

Our local pizza place. Always a lovely treat. Really fantastic pizza

The pizza was average and way overpriced! There wasn’t any strong flavours and I wanted to add salt but in the whole entire restaurant there was only one salt shaker and there was nothing inside it?! I have had better pizzas everywhere else such as Pizzeria 1926 at Dalry Road where the pizza is very tasty and at a great price! I won’t be coming back here. I still can’t get over the prices in there! £18 for a 14 inch pizza! Absolutely shocking prices when it really should be around £13/14.

Brilliant spot for a date, birthday party or a good catch up. Food is amazing, great veg options.

Aspires to be an Italian restaurant but sadly too far off the mark

Great service. Lovely cosy restaurant. Food was great. Our party ordered sharing platter, pizza, lasagne, cannelloni and caesar salad. All were fantastic!

Lovely pizzeria, proper pizza over. Decent options and lovely atmosphere. Good for groups of friends, family and Date night.

Had pizza. Absolutely delicious. Nice light crispy crust. The servers felt a bit cold, though the place was packed and busy, but it didn't feel too welcoming. Other than that the atmosphere is beutiful and cozy.

Best pizza in Edinburgh by a country mile....

Great food, atmosphere, and service.

Lekkere pizza's en betaalbaar restaurant. Vind het leuk om te observeren. Een van de bediening een slank meisje met bruin haar dat is een hele goede die heeft alles in de gaten. Die vliegt van de een naar de ander ziet als er mensen binnen komen of willen bestellen of zonder drankje zitten. Want het is een druk vol restaurant.

We had to wait a while before we were asked for drinks. When we did order drinks and food the service was very good. The food was excellent, and my pizza was the best pizza I have ever eaten.

Lovely local pizza joint. Warm, friendly, good food. Simple.

Lovely Italian with a nice menu and good service.

An amazing little Italian restaurant. The pizzas are amazing.

Favourite pizza restaurant in Edinburgh. Amazing wine, the best pizza and generous starters/desserts. Romantic setting with candles all around the tables.

Great place. Great service. Great atmosphere.

Amazing pizza! Children loved it as well.

Very nice. The food was excellent.

Great pizza, not tried anything else on the menu. Staff were friendly and efficient. Also squeezed us in at short notice would recommend.

First time here, I’ve been to plenty of other wood fired pizza places in the city and this one is right up there with the best of them. Had a lovely pizza with anchovy capers & black olives. I’ll be back for sure.

We ended up here at the end of a nice walk on the water of Leith. Lovely food and great service. Highly recommended. Great corner table for 8 if you have a large group

Loved this place, can't wait to go back, definitely go you will not be disappointed, great food, nice staff, lovely venue 👌

Look, it's a lovely place with lovely staff and the fact you can barely read the menu in the flickering candlelight only adds to the atmosphere but, the food isn't as good as the you'd want given the price and pretty decor. If you want a great pizza there's places close by that cost less and taste better.

True Italian flavours in the heart of Leith Walk.
