Pierinos in Edinburgh, City of

It didn’t live up to the hype. Small piece of fish, the chips weren’t fresh and they didn’t dress it with vinegar as requested. It all tasted like it was cooked in oil instead of dripping : / The mushy peas were average too. There’s better in Edinburgh

Pizza and chicken kebab was excellent

Delicious sicilian slices, same with deep fried mars, great place to eat, but I prefer takeaways

After multiple questions to local folk. The majority said this place was worth the visit. Well I can agree. Soon as you walked in you were greeted with Friendliness. After even asking for a pizza topping unheard of. I got pointed in the right direction. So my order was. Originally spicy chicken red onion and olives. But after having a good genuine chat with the pizza chef. SLICED CHICKEN PAKORA,RED ONION AND ANCHOVIES WAS ordered. And it paid off. One of the best pizzas I have had. Did the old one bite and score. Perfect base. Crispy. Flavour of the tomato base was great. As a side I had a single haggis. As was recommended. Can't fault it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Pierinos is an impressively run family business. The Vegetable Pakora was absolutely delicious - I’ve never had better. And they open late which is great when you get back from a busy day exploring Edinburgh.

Good affordable food. Great staff very nice.

Amazing, the best chippy I've had in years. Both our haggis and the white pudding suppers were delicious and fresh 😋

Very good chippie. Fab fish and chips, white pudding is tasty and does a good pizza. Highly recommend.

Wow just had a fast delivery, and my meal of fish and chips was lovely, thanks all

Love the food never disappointed

Unreal! I wouldn’t have believed a chippy would do such good pizza. There was a bit of an issue last night with my order as I thought incorrectly it hadn’t gone through on the app. However staff were absolutely brilliant and sorted the mistake! Will be back.

Amazing gluten free food (Wednesday only for fried/chippy staples)! It's been about 5 years since I had anything from a chippy battered. Though the gold star company are (I hope) still working on a GF alternative for chippy sauce, being able to have a legit sausage supper made my month. I've been back several times and tried their GF pizza too - which also is incredible. My favourite is their Bolognese pizza. Sorry Italy. My partner, who isn't GF has also remarked on the quality of their GF food but also has enjoyed their normal calzone and Sicilian pizza. Thank you Pierinos for having great staff and a warm, welcome environment!

Asked for 2 calazones both times they got it wrong waited 2 hrs this time now going to wait another hour as not a lot of delivery drivers think they should get your order right 1st time

Got some takeaway fish & chips, they were absolutely delicious and a huge portion.

Got a few nice pizzas then got one that was tasteless.paper thin dough 10 pence .2pence worth of toppings. Horrible don't know who made it probably the driver.in the bin 20 quid.will never use these gangsters again

Best take away in town, sparkly clean, food is delicious, always fresh, portions are huge, big variety of foods ❤️❤️❤️ the owners are really friendly

Probably best takeaway in Edinburgh. Food is always amazing and staff super friendly.

Great fish and chips. They do gluten free on Wednesdays, it was really good.

Best fish and chips in Leith, must be. Great value too.

Long wait on food and not worth it when it came...can get the same from anywhere in town.

I'm a big fan of Pierinos. Really friendly people and a lovely, clean, modern new shop and kitchen. Importantly the food is good and not expensive. Some of the best pizza in Edinburgh. They've an app and a website you can order from. [Dec 23 update - Pierinos turns 40 today and my earlier review, which feels nearly as old, does not do it just. Pierino's is clean and friendly, food is fresh, lovely and reasonably priced. There is a great range here; pasta and burgers, wraps and pizza as well as fish and chips. Often open late and available online.] [March 24 - lovely new Sicilian pizza]

Best Pizza, best staff, thank you!

Ordered my Halloumi Birger meal online and I had to phone them after waiting over an hour - took 2hours before it was delivered. There was no apologise or compensation. Hope this was one time only.

Friendly, personable staff! Great portions at great prices. There was a long queue but it moved very quickly so props to the fast service. Food was made to order. Pizza crunch recommended.

We made an order online and wasn't informed until we'd paid for the order that the delivery would be 1 1/2 hours later. I rang up and spoke to someone and tried to cancel the order but was told the order would be with us in 15 minutes. After 1 hour we are still waiting....

Got few meals. Chips were undercooked. Dissapointing

I don’t understand the hype abou this place. The chips were bland, pale and under seasoned and they charge 45p for any sauces. Grossly overpriced and poor quality

Great place that does gluten free options on Wednesday.

Best chippy in Leith and Edinburgh. Won't go anywhere else. Fish batter is proper. Also recommend the Mac&cheese and the haggis bites.

First time I’ve have eaten from here and would absolutely recommend it. Food was beautiful and so fresh. Staff are well super friendly great service and place is spotlessly clean. Thanks you enjoy

Easily one of the best chips shops in Edinburgh. One of the best Pizzas you can get. Forget the chain restaurants these guys do it cheaper, better and with care.

This is way more than your average chippy. Everything from the fish suppers, kebabs, pizzas and burgers are delicious. We've ordered from here a few times now and always impressed. The kebabs are delicious, high quality meat and the lamb in particular was tender and delicious. Great value for money. They have a lot of different options and they do them well.

The Best Fish n Chips in #edinburgh

My new doner kebab shop I would recommend i have the doner kebab and the scotch pie and chips

Food is great which is why it's so popular and busy which as a result means quite a long wait.

Surprised and disappointed – I’ve used this chip shop many times since I’ve lived in the area, it appears that asking how fresh the food is in the fryer cabinet would generate such a hostile response, to the point that the women serving walked off. I didn’t think you could be so precious over such a minor question. Embarrassing and cringe at the same time.

Fish and chips was great. Very pleasant staff. I loved it right after I walked into. Prices are reasonable, short walk from tram line in calm and safe feeling neighbourhood.

Great fish supper, dog friendly, wonderful staff.

Wow this is a great chippy in Leith. We had haggis nuggets, homemade onion rings, homemade potato frittas, chips, whole tail scampi and beef pie. It was cooked fresh for us and the quality was excellent. If you are looking for an authentic chippy in Edinburgh look no further.

Fish and chips shop that recently won an award is actually quite average and expensive for what you get compared to other places in and around Edinburgh.

High quality food that's available late at night

Not happy with how long the wait is for delivery only to have to phone up and be told it's not even left the shop yet and then receive it 15m after the phone call. Sauces forgotten in order too. Good food but annoying you have to chase up your order. I'll be taking my business elsewhere after this happening twice.

Well done on your second award have been to your shop tonight and very busy must say fish and chips the best and better than restaurant keep up the standard that you deserve will be back next week what more can I say but thanks

Fish und Chips. War echt lecker.

Pizza dough soggy, cheddar awfull on the top, topings very liw quality, Kebab average.

Love our local chippy. Feel really lucky to have a great place so close to home. Great staff, lovely food and always cheerful even when mobbed.

Great local chip shop, food is always brilliant, slightly pricey and the delivery time is the only let down, sometimes your waiting over 2/2.5 hours on a delivery which is ridiculous. If you can’t deliver to local people what’s the point in having the service.

Battered Haggis not bad could be more crispy. They had a haggis ready but kept me waiting once to deal with bigger orders after ten minutes i reminded them about it. After 20 minutes I said to forget it.

Bought fish and chips .chips cold .Next time try before buying .then pay ... upfront pay ment in shop can't see what serving up

Food is top quality, staff are friendly Only issue is the manager/owner is an absolute douchebag

Fish & Chips very much enjoyed.

Firstly the chips to be fair were cooked to perfection. Regarding the haddock (£7:40) I think it was more a kids meal fish! Very oily and the batter on under side stuck to the box. Perhaps the oil wasn’t hot enough when cooked.

Excellent et très pratique, nous y sommes allés à notre premier soir en Écosse. On s'est fait surprendre par la taille des portions, elles sont très grandes ! Très bonne adresse

No sauces on kebab wrap , no sausa with chips and wrong drink!. All order pretty Wong . Have to say though usually great however this had happened a couple of times now

This little gem is located in the great neighborhood of Leith. We tried the Fish and the chicken plates and they were delicious. The fish is the star here and was beautifully cooked crisp and flaky. You have a small counter and stools that you can saddle up to enjoy a great meal. Do not miss out!

Best chippy in Edinburgh, used to love nipping in at lunchtime

If you want authentic, perfectly cooked fish and chips, try Pierinos. I ordered this throughout England and Scotland and, hands down, this was the very best. Daiana, you are a wonderful cook. Great staff, friendly atmosphere. Jane McCoy USA

The best fish and chips I've ever had! Also the price is so much cheaper than the "good places". I highly, highly recommend this place for the best fish and chips in the world!

Not sure what’s happened tonight, we order here all the time and it’s usually good. Tonight however, it’s honestly one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. Pizza was really under done, it was so soggy and there was tomato sauce all over the crust. Ate a slice each and chucked it. Paid extra for more cheese and it was the cheapest, most horrible tasting cheddar. The chips went straight in the bin, so soggy and under done. They were all stuck together in a mush. Whole thing was disgusting. Really disappointing.

Introduction: I recently visited an Italian fish and chips (Pierinos) in Edinburgh, and was pleasantly surprised by the unique and delicious twist they put on this classic dish. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with friendly staff and a relaxed ambiance. Food: The fish was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The batter had a subtle Italian flavor that added a new dimension to the dish. The chips were also fantastic, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Service: The service was friendly and attentive, with the staff happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions. Conclusion: Overall, I highly recommend this Italian fish and chips for anyone looking for a unique and delicious twist on a classic dish in a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Looked forward to visit as voted Fish and Chip shop of the year in Scotland. Unbelievably bad and disappointing - same as some other reviews. Ate on the premises so was not expecting chips soggy and tepid, mushy peas nearly cold, and fish batter soggy, stuck to paper (so assume kept under a heat lamp) and not crispy even at the ends. I was recommended battered sausages and these were obviously not cooked fresh. Took two bites and left them. Astonished at how busy they were. Surely Edinburgh can do better?

Well organised takeaway store selling top quality fish and chips.

Listen up.!! This mob are at it with the pizzas.! Their Sicilian pizza (which can only buy a slice of) is welcome side dish..!! We need whole pizzas of the same making.!! If I have to start a petition I will.!! Fantastic.!!

Best Italian style pizzas In edinburgh! Fish n chips excellent also . Never fails to dissapoint!

The best chip shop in Edinburgh. The pizzas are amazing and the fish and chips are as well. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the fish and chips from this fantastic takeaway, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a crispy, golden batter that was not at all greasy or heavy. The chips were equally delicious - hot, crispy, and just the right amount of salt. The portion sizes were very generous, and I felt like I got great value for my money. In addition to the fish and chips, I also tried some of the sides, like the mushy peas and the tartar sauce, which were both fantastic. Everything was clearly made with care and attention to detail, and it really showed in the taste and quality of the food. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, and it was clear that they take pride in their work. They were happy to answer any questions I had about the menu, and they even offered some great suggestions for other dishes to try in the future. Overall, I would highly recommend this fish and chips takeaway to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying meal. The quality of the food, the generous portion sizes, and the friendly service all make for a truly wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

Per provare un ottimo "fish and chips" senza spendere una fucilata, ideale. Il locale è molto semplice e con sgabello per sedersi alla veloce. Fanno anche asporto. Personale gentile. Lo consiglierei.

The chip shop is really quick at making your orders and the service assistant's are really helpful as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PLEASE STAFF THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Fantastic fish and chips and pizza. Great friendly service and the best Fish and chips I have had in the UK. Thanks

The best fish and chips in the UK hands down!

Live just around the corner from this fantastic place for our weekly fish 'n' chips with top-quality Haddock. Domenico and Adriano are great guys, backed up by a really bright and friendly team of people. A special mention to Mo who always serves up a wonderful piece of fish. No need to look any further, simply the best in Town (pizzas are pretty good too!)

Hadn't used them for a while they used to do a great burger but ordered one a few days ago took one bite and threw the rest in the bin it was awful and tasted like a microwaved rustlers burger

Ordered delivery while staying nearby, fantastic meat feast pizza, awesome fish and chips at a decent price and adequate delivery times, deffo reccomended

The the absolute best pizza you can get in the area if not in Edinburgh, good burgers too and great price!

One's of the best family running chips shop 🍟🍟 delicious and well prepared..we all enjoyed the crisp 😋 🐟 and the home made chippy 👋🌟

Very nice staff very welcoming prices are a bit higher than I would have thought but given that we are going through hard times just now one can understand thanks

Best pizza ever! Said my teenage boys, I had kebab, also nice. Really lovely looking take away inside and clean!! Very busy, defo recommend

First of all, this is not so much the review of the food but rather the app that they have. I urge everyone to not use their app but order directly within the shop. Over 2 different accounts, I have ordered a reasonable amount from them however, now I will not order via their app & most likely, not from them at all. Reasons are this - I have ordered before accepting that you pay a Process Fee (70p) & a Delivery Charge (£3.30) & although I do not agree with these charges, I didnt let it sway me from ordering from them however tonight, there was a new charge! You now pay a Tip (there is no option for this other than what percentage you pay) - we paid 10% which came to £2.99 & as we were very hungry I decided to continue with the order, which I regret as it completely ruined the meal for me! Under no circumstances should we ever be givin a mandatory tip to pay - we are paying a tip even before we receive the food, and tonight the food was cold but still edible. A tip should always be optional and when it comes to food, a tip should only be payable after you have received the food, and ate it - this is what determines whether a tip is worth paying! All in all, before we even received the food we paid on top of our order, we paid £6.99 alone in admin fees!

Despite having known about Pierino's reputation as a good chippy for a number of years I've never felt the need to stray from my excellent more local takeway, but as it was closed over the holiday's I thought I would give Pierinos a try and it was definiely one of my better decisions! The order was taken over the phone and I was advised that due to it being New Year they were exceptionally busy. However I was given an estimated delivery time which turned out to be almost dead on. When the food arrived it was still piping hot and didn't need a reheat in the microwave (which is so often the case and spoils it a bit). The fish I ordered was soft and meaty and the batter crispy and light as a feather. The chicken was juicy and succulent. While the prices charged are at the higher end of the going rate it was worth it for the quality. I am now a convert to Pierinos and would definiely recommend.

Mix of a chip shop and Italian takeaway. You can get grill food and pasta as well. Everything tastes GREAT. Try lamb shish kebab!

Fantastic fish and chips..the onion rings are to die for.. Would recommend to everyone going to Leith

The food is good but the portions you get in the kebabs & pakoras is shocking especially the mixed kebabs for the price you pay for it. Fill the box for god sake

Oh no way had a fish and fritters last night it tasted ok a bit greasy , all night I’ve been up with feeling sick all I could take was this Chippy think it’s put me of Chippy’s for life good luck with being the best in Scotland if this is the best I would hate to see the worst

Great food, family run business.

Good food nice staff great service

Tried twice and they just need to give up on delivery. They might be great for a walk-up, but they can't deliver. First order took nearly two hours and, thinking it was a fluke, we tried again tonight and are approaching the 2 hour mark. Just don't bother - there's too much good pizza in the city to deal with this.

Visited this establishment as voted Fish and Chip shop of the year in Scotland. Sadly very disappointing. No mushy peas in box despite being told they were. Chips soggy and tepid and fish tastless. Batter not crispy.

Very tasty and relative to some other Chippies, clean and fresh. Decent portion sizes. Rated no 1 Chippie in scotland Accordin to September 22 Eveningnews . Deserve it and highly recommended!

It’s recently won an award best chippy so I thought it’s a trip to leith . Don’t know what the award was based on but the fish was not very nice , and the chips where like they had sat in water to long. Both not very good certainly not award standard .

It is very well priced for very good quality. My personal favourite is Pierinos Burger which can easily top the posh burgers around.

Clean and modern shop... good standard of food (sit in tooo) and tv 🐟🐳🐬

Used to be brilliant but the last 3 orders have been shocking. The pepperoni on the pizza is closer to chorizo. They just sent us chewy chicken coujons which were not fully cooked, and they dont even send garlic sauce with pizza anymore. SHOCKING

Bardzo dobra ryba z frytami. Polecam serdecznie!

El mejor fish and chips que hemos comido! Muy buena calidad y cantidad. La unica pega, no hay sitio para sentarse, mejor comprar para llevar

Good fresh fish although chips could do with a bit longer to add colour. Charges 45p for ketchup/mayo/tartare etc which is ridiculous!

Acudimos a Pierinos porque era uno de los pocos sitios que estaban abiertos al llegar a nuestro destino en Edimburgo. El local tiene su historia, fundado en 1983 por Pierino y su esposa continúa a día de hoy ofreciendo una amplía variedad de comida rápida, desde fish and chips y pizzas hasta hamburguesas pasando por kebabs. Nosotros probamos uno de sus platos estrella, fish and chips (por 10,90 £), un clásico de la comida británica, rico, aunque no apto para comerlo todos los días si no quieres sufrir "el efecto palomita" en tu cuerpo.

Hello, I was a regular customer until after the 10th order, the next one should be free, I've been waiting for 3 weeks and have not received any discount code, I was at their place and the owner told me to wait patiently, how long can you wait, they just lost a customer I will never order from them again.

Best fish and chips in Edinburgh 👏

The food was perfect, the staff was very friendly and the prices are unbeatable. I can only recommend this place, it became one of my favourites. Thank you so much.
