Paesano in Glasgow City

I don't get the hype with this pizza Been a few times as its convenient, price is descent and toppings are quite good. But, the base is just a watery mess. Doesn't make a difference what type of toppings. I assume it's the type of flour they use. Even when I asked for well done the result is the same. Dont think I will return anymore

The good: Pizzas are gorgeous and freshly made Staff work very hard and are polite and courteous Not so good: We’d to wait outside across the road for 20 minutes in the cold. We could have walked away but chose to wait it out It is very busy once you get inside. We ended up sharing a bench with four others. It is so busy / noisy that it is hard to have a conversation We would return but maybe at a quieter time.

My partner and I don’t usually leave reviews, but we were so impressed with the food and atmosphere that we decided to leave a solid 5/5 and recommend this to every pizza lover out there! P.s. also the best tiramisu I have had in a long time *chefs kiss

Great food and good service also dirt cheap . Only issue is music way too loud and like not good

Best pizza we've had outside of Napoli.

amazing pizzas. best in glasgow. great value for money and service.check it out!

Really not great. The only perk is nice staff. Dire system, where you stand outside in the cold to wait, then are herded inside, in front of the welcome desk to stand crammed in with tons of others waiting. The pizza was SO soggy and cold, and overall just really wet. Mine and my husband’s were both the same. The sides options are also really limited. Wanted to love this place, but really gutted we wasted a meal out on it. Can’t fathom why it’s so busy.

Really not great. The only perk is nice staff, soggy pizza is not the one. Dire system, where you stand outside in the cold to wait, then are herded inside, in front of the welcome desk to stand crammed in with tons of others waiting. The tables are SO close together that you may as well be sat on the same table as whoever is next to you. Loud music also. The pizza was SO soggy and cold, and overall just really wet. Mine and my husband's were both the same. The sides options are also really limited. Wanted to love this place, but really gutted we wasted a meal out on it. Can't fathom why it's so busy.

The takeaway pizza wasn't bad, but I have had better. I felt the price was a tad expensive. Saying that it was ready on time and the staff were pleasant.

Good pizza but queing system annoying (wouldn’t let us take a table as the rest of our party was 2 minutes away, had to wait another 25 minutes)

Absolutely love the pizzas in here 😋

Best pizza place in Glasgow. Always busy, but the service is fast. The pizzas are authentic, amazing and reasonably priced. Get the ham one. Option 8 I believe. Vegan options are available. LGBT friendly environment. No dogs. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Does offer take away service. They also offer a few desert options that are always great quality.

Such good pizza. Will be thinkin of it for awhile. If I come back to Glasgow it will be a must return venue.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. Been back three times now and it’s always the same great quality. You can really taste the difference with the ingredient, all from Italy. The staff are really friendly and well-organised, which makes the whole experience really enjoyable. If you’re after a proper pizza in Glasgow, this is the place to go!

Everything is fabulous ! No need to go to Italy to eat a pizza. They’ve done it just like them.

I am still trying to find an Italian place that beats this for authentic taste, price and the chilli oil!

The best pizza in the UK - hands down. A must in Glasgow!

Amazing pizza amazing staff, can we reserve tables

Super good pizzas in a nice decor

Went in shortly after they opened for lunch and had a really good meal, let down at the end by the service. We were seated, the menu was explained, given great information by our first server. Food arrived timely and was amazing. Then we got ignored for around 20 minutes. We wanted to get some coffees and dessert but as time went on we got more annoyed. We waved at 2 servers who gave us a quick 1 minute signal and never came over, we asked a gentleman as he walked past and he said he wouldn't bring the bill but would let our server know, then we watched him walk to the front of house and not talk to anybody... Our train was due soon and we ended up having to get up and go to the bar to ask for our bill to be printed which they seemed really confused by and I had to explain they'd been ignoring us. It seems bizarre to ignore customers so that they neither order more things, or let them leave and free up a table. The experience left a bitter taste which is a shame because the food *was* very good.

Good place to have food and then roam around city...

Deliciously fresh and very cheep for the quality. Fast service and place looks lovely. Highly recommended. Their draught beer Menabrea is delicious too.

Nice experience… it’s a pizza place after all so not going to blow your socks off. The reception girl was welcoming and friendly and as the place gets extremely busy we were advised it’s a 10 minute wait for a table. No problem with that at all , small comfortable waiting area and in fact it turned out to be a 6 minute wait. Tables are cosily close to each other which I’d imagine if you had other diners next to you who are loud then it might be a bit annoying but luckily no issue there with us. The pizza was lovely but for me the rocket salad with Parmesan and balsamic was soooo nice (not wet and drenched) and the sharing meat board salad was also really tasty. The wine was basic but drinkable and unfortunately served in a tumbler not a wine glass but to be fair we’ve been to Italy many times and that’s how the locals drink it sometimes. The waitress was friendly and the food came very quickly - would return as it was a very pleasant experience.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza (for real!) definitely the best I personally tried so far in Scotland in 8+ years. Nice size, filling but also light. Would definitely recommend a stop here.

Best pizza in Glasgow, excellent service

Limited options but the best! One of the best pizzas in the city🍕 Good Service 👍🏽

Pizzas were pretty tasty, but expensive. Our server wasn't very friendly and bordered on rude a couple of times. One of our party asked for a box for some of our leftover pizza and the server left and never bothered to get the box. Almost 10 mins later we asked again and she was huffy about this. Additionally we asked for a beer at one time and she again left and ignored our request. We had to ask someone else to get us the beer. It was a busy Friday night so I appreciate she may have been under some stress, but it wasn't a pleasant experience for us. It was extremely busy and fully packed when we went and it was a bit loud and boisterous for me personally. We were directly seated next to some quite loud and drunk people who interrupted our conversation a few times. Overall the pizza is still decent, but poor service and not an enjoyable atmosphere for me personally.

The food is almost excellent and delicious...👌

Great food, unfortunately let down by the poor service from one team member. Everyone else was great including the owners.

This place is atrocius. Food is mediocre, cutlery is manky, staff are rude and not presented well. DO NOT RECOMEND STICKY NAPKINS AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's one of my favourite places for having pizza the authentic way in Glasgow. They source their ingredients from Italy - you read it right. With the basic ingredients and the perfectly cooked oven pizza , it gives that authentic taste. Also has the best selection of desserts.

Amazing Pizza. Very authentic and they provide you option add more toppings. Service staff are very supportive and suggests the best combination that you can enjoy the most. Must TRY dessert “Tiramisu”. ❤️❤️❤️

No words describe the quality of the pizza! They have amazing principles! Definitely competes original Italian places within Italy! A must visit, not only once! Amazing atmosphere, great and friendly staff! Extremely tasty original pizza!🍕

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever tasted! Tiramisu was amazing as well. Really nice atmosphere!

Don't need to book, just turn up and wait for a table. The pizza has to be some of the best pizza I have ever had. The arrival of the food is the quickest I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Don't let that put you off as the pizza arrive fresh and hot. The menu is limited, particularly on sides, but when the main star of the show (the pizza) is this good who needs sides!! Go you won't regret it!

Delicious pizza, friendly service and great value.

Excellent pizza, will be returning

What can we say? It's a five star review!

The pizza was so delicious!!! We had the spicy nduja one and some side salads (vinaigrette was on point!) and service was super friendly and quick Can also recommend the dipping sauces eg truffle aioli or nduja mascarpone Only thing missing would maybe be a good espresso martini :-)

Chilled out, great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Best value for money anywhere in Glasgow, been plenty of times keep coming back

Friendly staff, always back in Paesano when in GLA. BEST pizza in town! super clean and attentive crew! Love how smooth the service is writing down the number on the place mat and so they know who ordered who and kind of personalized detail is awesome! Thank you guys and keep up the good work!

Fast and fab! Excellent value. Always busy but rarely have to wait.

Quite simply our favorite pizzeria! The price is low, the service is fast. The pizzas are delicious.

Pizza was underwhelming, not as good as civerinos. Staff were lovely and restaurant was packed.

The pizza was AMAZING. Very reasonable on price. Beer selection was good. We went at a time when it was busy as heck, but still got seated in a reasonable time.

A fun lively atmosphere, simple great pizza, great servers.

Highly recommended place, excellent service and relaxing atmosphere. Menu not very extensive but sufficient, we tried the disposable pizza and very good and delicious rvioli. Penne with very delicious three cheese sauce. We came as a tourist recommended by the tourist guide and we repeated. Very correct price.

Amazing pizza that never disappoints.

Thank you for good service specially(Nadiia)

Great servide with the food to match. New items added to the menu 😋. Especially the crust dip. GREAT ADDITION. Value is always on point and the staff are happy to help with a smile

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. Airy, light and tasty dough and top quality products. The Nocellera olives and cannoli are also highly recommended. Service was very friendly.

Nice service and very good pizza!

Best pizza in Glasgow. Do you need more than that? Go! Don't be put off by the queue, it never lasts long. Consistently excellent experience.

Best pizzas since we were last in Napoli and great value too. Lovely atmosphere and friendly and professional staff. Can't wait to visit again next time we are in Glasgow.

The pizza was lovely! The waitress could be nicer, but the guy who was also serving was helpful!

I came on the recommendation of my boyfriend, who lived here for years. Attentive service (it took them a while to serve us but the place was full, that's normal). Not very extensive letter. Delicious pizzas but they didn't seem exceptional to me, just normal. Price for two people with drink and pizza about £38

always quality pizza dough is always great, service is super quick it is always super busy and that would be my only cpmplaint but it is also a good sign

There are great pizzas here! Went here twice within 2 days and it was great🙌 We never had to wait long for our food, even when it was full. Particularly worth mentioning is the extremely friendly service staff. I like to come back here when I'm in Glasgow

Very busy but fantastic food. Loved that I could order a small pizza.

Checks all the boxes. An amazing place, food and beverages great, staff is very friendly and the place is confortable. Gets a little packed because is good so you might need to plan ahead or be patient go get a table. Service is quick though Always ask for a birra Moretti

Never had a bad pizza or service here. I've tried other restaurants but this is my favourite. Great dough, well cooked and generous toppings at a reasonable price.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had, high quality, but somewhat lacking in ingredients. The spectacular tiramisu.

Disappointed to see the number 8 menu since 2018 served is dropped . Very much disappointed. Please bring back the same one . The closest match from the new menu is not that appealing

One of the best pizzerias in the world and I can attest to that. The atmosphere, incredible. The food, spectacular. The price is more than good. A mandatory stop if you are in Glasgow.

Highly recommended, the price is great and the food is delicious, although one of the waitresses gave us a service that left something to be desired.

Pizza was great, arrived in time Staff very patient and polite.

Their pizzas are top notch. Try their DOP San Marzano Tomato pizza, it's transcendental (according to Faez). And also their number 4 was amazing. The staff was also very friendly and willing to serve

I think that the pizza is delicious but so many things were detrimental to a positive restaurant experience. First off the meet and greet was perfunctory with the ridiculous challenge that we had 7 mins to make our order and we were led all the way back to a table for two at the back of the restaurant. This was 6 30 on a Mon night but no explanation was given for the 7 min deadline until after we had finished we were told that the restaurant had to be cleared for a staff party. Our waiter was peculiar to say the least which l think he thought enhanced the dining experience. When subsequently we asked for a bowl of olives while we waited for the pizza, the reaction was that this request was impossible. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the meal was the house red Paesano Rosso: watered down muck, to thin. We were then decanted to the front of the restaurant when we finished for some again obscure reason. Good pizza, rubbish wine and poor service

As a Spaniard, I came to dinner with my partner, the product was very good and of good quality, you can see that the pizzas are chosen with love and time, you can see the knowledge of Italian gastronomy. The super friendly atmosphere as well as the treatment of the waiters, a 100 out of 10. I am clear that when I return I will repeat. Delighted!

Very good pizza, rather loud and hectic but still within limits

The last time I had pizza like this was in Florence (yup, the one in Italy). Really flavorful, perfectly made in the style. You've guy to know that it's a wee bit different from what most folks expect - the crust has zones from well-fired to soft. It's delicious. The staff were excellent and good fun (we agreed to disagree on the merits of raspberry sauce on my single-nougat dessert, but I do think I dropped in their estimation ;⁠-⁠) ) Can't wait to go back, which we will. Maybe I'll try the raspberry sauce next time.

First time here and loved it. Will definitely not be my only time. Plus the pizza and ice cream where great. Will be back.

Visited with the grandchildren They loved it.

This pizza place is superb The atmosphere is fantastic and pizzas are unbelievable 👍👌

Simply amazing, the best pizza 🤩

At 54 years old I can say that I have rolled out some pizza dough, but then I have to bow, their pizzas are delicious. Amazing and very successful combinations of tastes, really well done! The atmosphere is obviously a little noisy but regardless, the food is really good and good value for money. To do again :)

This place has fantastic pizzas and is always bustling with activity, which can make it quite noisy due to all the chatter. While the atmosphere is beautiful, I wouldn't describe it as relaxing. It's a great spot for meeting friends or having a quick dinner. There are no starters, but nice dessert options. The food is delicious, and I would definitely come back!

Amazing pizza and atmosphere! We recommend the fennel sausage pizza with the hot chilli dip 🌶️

Everything about this restaurant is great.

Great pizza always like fries but not available along with tomatoe ketchup. But never the less great pizzas

Fantastic authentic pizza. The queues outside tell you all you need to know. Don't be put off as they go down quickly. Busy when we passed at lunchtime and full in the evening- Monday night too, Small menu, but for me that tells me they will be great as they don't have massive menu to try to service. Pizza came well cooked with just enough topping on. Big bottle of chili oil on the table to zest it up if you wish. Try the chilli honey dip for the crusts as well, you wont regret it. The red wine list only had three on it- had the Nero d'avola from Sicily, good value and served in little tumblers just like the cafes in rural Italy serve. The coffee at the end of the meal was strong and just right to help the delicious cannoli go down- my wife says they were the best she has had outside of Sicily. If you fancy a real pizza on your visit to Glasgow I would recommend this place without hesitation- Just wished they had one closer to home.

Excellent in all respects, but go early or join a long queue to get in. Would not hesitate to make the journey from East Lothian to Glasgow just to visit for lunch.

It was great. The space was truly exceptional. The staff was very helpful and nice. The pizza was incredibly delicious with beautiful garnishing. It’s true that it gets very busy, and we had to wait in the queue, but it was worth it.

I am Brown, and I visited to have pizza today. I did not feel welcomed and felt awkward as well. The waitress behaved differently toward us compared to others. She also served us a burnt pizza and did not bother to ask about our food, even though she was asking at the nearby tables. Our pizza was served very late, but the service at the nearby tables was much quicker. When my husband paid the bill and chose not to tip (why should we??), she gave us a strange expression and swished away. I would never visit here again and wouldn’t recommend it to the fellow mates. Don’t get carried away with the stars! When you’re not treated likewise and served burnt food!

It was a bit crowded when we arrived, but they managed to find us a table. The pizza was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

🍕🌟According to the restaurant, among the best 50 pizzas in the world, they were not wrong £31.80

Another great visit to Pizza Paesano - the best pizzas in Glasgow! We were greeted by Ross on the door who was very welcoming and friendly. My sister has Down's Syndrome and he was brilliant with her making sure we got a table quicky so she could get out of the cold. Then our server Nicola was just lovely. So friendly and happy, a credit to your company. Can't recommend the pizzas or the staff highly enough! 🍕🩷

Easily the best pizza I've had in Glasgow and surprisingly affordable. This has quickly become a go to for us; especially if we have people visiting and we're walking around city centre. It's always packed so not the best place if you want some degree of privacy, but that's an observation, not a complaint.

Fast service tasty pizza and lovely decor

Brilliant as always. Packed, half hour wait outside to even get in the door, but fantastic pizza and a great atmosphere.

We were in Glasgow and decided upon pizza for dinner. We googled our choice and Paesano Pizza was close by and had a high review score. When we arrived we were greeted and shown to our table. Service was instant. Our order was served in good time. Our pizza was delicious, as was our drinks and the Tiramasu. The tiramasu was light and fluffy, perfect for finishing off our meal. We'd highly recommend a visit and we look forward to our next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Second visit and was very enjoyable. We will definitely come back! Both times, I had one of the specials. The dips were delicious All I can say is... if you want a pizza like in Italy, this is the place!!❤️❤️❤️ Take it from someone who worked in hospitality 15 years all over England🤗

The pizza here is incredible and definitely worth the wait. You can tell that they use decent ingredients. I hadn't dined in before and I have to say, having the pizza fresh from the oven is incredible. Though takeaway is also very good. I, personally, wouldn't get the dips as the cost is high for a tablespoon worth and the crust is amazing on it's own. The service was a bit slow, after you've received your food, so had to wait a while for the bill but if you're not in a rush then it's fine.

Asked at reception if they catered for gluten free to be told yes. Only to wait half an hour to order to be told they don't do gluten free pizzas.. for a pizza only restaurant to say they cater for gluten free but there only meal is not. The staff attitude after this was horrendous saying you cannot get gluten free pizzas in any restaurants. Avoid if you have any food allergies. Staff to busy to care

No booking system (sort of) means that you have to queue for a table during busy periods when full. Service is fast and friendly and you're really in and out after food in about 1 hour. The pizza I had with sausage on it was really good but the star of the day was the cheesecake. It was one of the best I've tasted and the vanilla ice-cream is very tasty as well.

I visited this pizza place in Glasgow for the first time after I was recommended by several friends, and it was incredible. Even though it was early, around 11 am, there were already customers waiting to get in—proof of how popular it is. Despite being a very spacious place, the queues make sense because the food is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, and the whole experience, from the food to the service and the friendly staff, was fantastic. Definitely worth the going!

The food was gorgeous as usual. But the night was made even better by the eggcelent service from Red. We will definitely be back, and hope that Red is working again!

Absolutely must try! Normally I avoid Italian food abroad but Paesano's pizza is of a quality that is difficult to find even in Italy. High quality ingredients, courtesy and a very welcoming environment.

Always a classic! Must visit for Glasgow. 10/10 every time

Pizza was okay, a bit watery in the middle.
