Salerno Pizza in Edinburgh, City of

The best pizza ver!! Second time at this pizzeria, never disappoints! The staff, the food, Thank you from Portugal!!!!

Went here with a few friends one Thursday mid-evening. Servers were kind and very attentive - sometimes overly so (it was quiet so they collected plates overly fast & did hang around the table alot). Very fast service & great food

A great place to eat a delicious Neapolitan pizza with a quiet atmosphere to chat and have a good time.

Best authentic Pizza I have ever had been several times never miss a chance when were in Edinburgh top class service Great Pizza

Party of 3 showed up 1.5 hr before closed and was not allowed to sit at booth that we requested. All 3 pies came out quickly but barely cooked, crust was doughy, cheese barely melted, toppings luke warm. Splitting the check 3 ways by items ordered vs straight dollar amount was made to be a bigger deal than anywhere I’ve ever been. Mall Pizza should have told us what we needed to know. Will NEVER go back! Thumbs down!

Had a great meal here!! Pizza was amazing and staff were so friendly particularly Davide who was our waiter. Would definitely come here again

Good place for lunch, staff are friendly and welcoming. Nice and clean. Tasty, authentic italian pizza . Would recommend

Muy rápido del servicio. La pizza era rica, y venía recién hecha. Puedes agregar los toppings que deseas y te dan varias opciones de base

Without a doubt it was the best option, a sensational Jamon pizza and another with 4 cheeses! Amazing location

Spent 5 minutes stood waiting at the door to be seated. Manager made eye contact with us on more than one occasion, I decided to go take a seat at a table as more customers was now cueing behind us to which we was told to go back and wait to be seated. We decided to go eat else where and I can guarantee that I will never step foot in the place again.

I would not recommend using their delivery services through Deliveroo. Their rider delivered our pizzas to the wrong address, a public cafe and not our hotel. They were not contactable at any point with the number they gave and no refund or compensation was offered by the restaurant or Deliveroo. I would recommend using a business that uses a reputable service like Uber eats.

Great speedy service and reasonably priced pizzas! £2 for sauce is steep but the garlic mayo was so good

Food was fine, service was atrocious. The host waved at us from across the room to tell us which table to go to, and then left us to it, didn’t walk with us or even speak to us. We then sat at the wrong table, because for some reason we assumed that the table with 6 settings and not the one with 3 settings was the one he was waving our party of 4 in the general direction of. Of course he then made us get up and move, and told us the table we had sat at was reserved. He and a colleague then pulled it apart and made it up into two tables, before pushing back together into one table again (not sure how he knew it was reserved but clearly didn’t know how many people it was for). The table were were left at was a hastily thrown together one wedged between the waiters’ station and emergency exit, and we were clearly in the way, because the staff were continually pushing past us, without so much as an “excuse me” or a “sorry” when they kicked my 4 year old daughter’s chair. The drinks arrived while I was taking my daughter to the bathrooms and when I came back the waiter had spilled water over my place setting and seat and just left it for me to clean up, apparently without even acknowledging it. Later in the meal, my daughter had stood up from her seat and was standing between our table and the table next to us, and the staff kept pushing past her, once again without so much as an “excuse me”. After the host who had originally waved us unenthusiastically towards a table nearly took her head off with a high chair, I told him off and asked him to please go round the other side of the table next time, where there was plenty of room, rather than pushing past a small child while carrying a heavy piece of furniture. Looking at other reviews here, it seems this place is well regarded, but this was such a bad experience we’ll definitely never be going back. The one saving grace was that they didn’t actually put the optional service charge onto the bill, because that saved me the hassle of asking to have it taken off.

After a disappointing visit to StreetBurger Edinburgh (limited menu, poor prep), Salerno Pizza saved the day! Incredible flavors, great service, and plenty of options. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Edinburgh!"

Best pizza in Edinburgh! Great,attentive service and excellent prices! We booked, there was a big queue to enter when we left!

Without a doubt the most farcical eatery I’ve ever ever visited” 40% full with an array of empty tables and a huge queue out the door waiting” very few staff and zero management. Don’t waste your time on this pathetic shambles of a business. It’s evident when you receive a reply like the one below from the business claiming to be the owner they won’t be around long” the restaurant was around 40% occupancy and numerous people queued and left” CCTV would Confirm this to be accurate, no business is able to be successful with such poor arrogant argumentative management.

Bad quality pizzas, a typical PE backed chain. Avoid

pizza was so burnt, terrible texture

We really didn't enjoy ourselves very much. The only good thing that I can say is that the service was fast and the pizza was a good size for but other that that, the pizza didn't really taste anything, the sauce was bland and overall just unimpressive the question of people outside also kept holding the door open which led to a terrible cold wind and a cold pizza. Also, I understand that you are busy, but to start setting the table for other customers while we were still at the table getting ready didn't make us feel very valued.

Came in on a week day for a lunch with my heavily pregnant wife. Even with it being December, it wasn't overly busy, still plenty seating left. Stood for 15 minutes at the door waiting to be seated, as did the group behind us (which included an elderly woman not good on her feet). All the staff were aware of our presence, but refused to make eye contact or acknowledge us in any way. They actually served multiple customers already seated right in front of us. Extremely rude and badly run place by the manager, not even getting the basics right. It would be nice to review the food, but it didn't stand a chance of getting that far as we decided to leave. Will not be back.

Excellent Italian pizza in Edinburgh, recommended!!

Vegan cheese available to swap in for any pizza. Melted very well. Dough was absolutely unreal. They also have a dedicated vegan pizza with truffle cream base and veg. Would be nice to have some vegan dips like a vegan mayo. Went on a busy Saturday night and was easy to get a table. Staff were nice, drinks order was wrong but staff were sound about it and offered to replace. Located on top floor of a shopping centre.

Might be one of the best pizzas I've ever had. It was made hella quick too!!

We were looking for a place to eat a good pizza that reminded us of our beautiful country and we found this place where the staff is kind and friendly, the pizzas ordered are fantastic 😋 a special thanks to Davide who made us feel at home with his sincere and friendly manner 😉

served super quick and the food was very good :)

Nice friendly helpful staff food was fantastic really nice friendly atmosphere. Only complaint was being charged £3.30 for a can of Diet Coke everything else was fantastic Pizzas we're amazing.

Such good fresh food and cocktails. Beautiful restaurant decor and Marica was lovely and so helpful. 10/10 experience and couldn’t fault

We took my mum in-law yesterday, she lives abroad and we wanted to surprise her as she never had a real Italian pizza before. It was perfect, she lived the place, the waiters and of course the pizza as well😊 Thank you for being so amazing every time❤️ Ps.: our 11 months old one also loved the crust, so new pizza-lover is growing now

Tasty pizza. Big pizza for your money. Good sized restaurant with a great atmosphere

Food was ok. Pizza 4 cheese was good. Focaccia that they gave to us was already cooked, so no hot, just was setting there waiting for a table. I believe they have a problem with the speedy that they want to work. They rush every single step during the service. The waiters was literally running for copy with all. 20 min for arrive, eat and leave without a thank you or how was everything. I believe they should think about the service as much they think about the food.

Quick efficient service and perfect food

Salerno Pizza in Edinburgh serves the best pizza in town Every bite is packed with authentic flavor, and the quality is outstanding. The staff are equally amazing friendly, attentive, and truly dedicated to making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great pizza experience in Edinburgh

The waiters push you out of the restaurant. They came 3 times in less than 5 minutes and asked if we knew what we wanted to order, then I had barely finished my dinner, and my uncle was still eating they removed my place, then a minute latter without requearing they gave me the bill.

Love dining in HOWEVER… the music. Please put on something more chilled and a bit quieter and it’ll be perfect!

Amazing food and service. Alicia is a nice waitress

Excellent pizza, friendly and helpful staff

Staff were very unfriendly, and the entire meal was completely rushed, (we were out within 20 minutes) along with the service charge being added without our consent and not being given the option to remove it, despite the receipt and the menu stating it was optional! Furthermore, the food was abysmal to say the least, there was barely any mozzarella cheese on the pizza and it kept falling off the pizza! The toppings were not cooked on the pizza and just put on afterwards which makes me guess there are pre-cooking pizzas and just dumping pizza toppings on afterwards? Which is just completely unacceptable and not at all what we paid for. We also ordered garlic bread that was flavourless and if anything tasted like uncooked garlic. Don’t waste your time going to this place unless you enjoy being treated awfully!

The service was extremely fast, I got my pizza in a very good time! It was delicious too, and the cheese was super stringy!! I didn’t quite like the garlic bread, (it had cheese on it) but it might’ve just been me. The only negative thing I’d say is that the tables are quite close together, but that wasn’t too bad, and overall, the experience was extremely positive!

Great food. Very professional service. Frendly and smile staff and really really good atmosphere. Im not surprised that they are always busy 👍 Highly recommended 👌

Best pizza base I've had in a long time.

Good food. Exceedingly fast service. Friendly staff. Very happy experience, would come again.

Veryyy friendly staff and quick service, and the food portion and quality are very good

Good size Piza and taste, limited menu. Friday night very busy and noisy

Very good pizza and pleasant atmosphere

Food was great, service was amazing and fast, just a wee bit cramped but would definitely recommend :)

I took part in baby shower party. Was great.

the pizza (especially the dough) was sooo tasty, and the atmosphere was great

Very rude waiter, unpleasant tone, (tattoos). The pizza has very minimal amount of sauce( eating very very thin layer of the dough itself)& toppings as well, so we had to order more toppings so we can eat at least what’s called a pizza. The 10% tip is mandatory for this horrible service!!!

The atmosphere is good and the service is good, but the taste is too inconsistent

The menu is very simple, the prices are very reasonable for a city center. The servers are very friendly and efficient. My pizza was served to me in less than 5 minutes! 3-4 minutes I think. I have never had a fresh pizza so quickly. If you want a quick pizza, this is the place to come.

Do you want to eat an excellent Italian pizza in Edinburgh? this is the right place! and the price is really great! Exceptional Italian staff and especially Davide. My next trip already has a pre-established destination, Salerno Pizza!

Pizza was soggy to much tomatoes cheese was thick and greasy to much olive oil crust left a lot to be desired won’t take a chance in there again I like to decide if a service charge is appropriate or not but you don’t get to decide they automatically add it just hope that it goes to the staff and not the greedy owners

Their staff are very impolite and they throw out bill on the table and i can not found their manager to say him

WONDERFUL RESTAURANT. Delicious food, large, freshly made pizzas. Attentive attendants. TRY THE NUTELLA PIZZA!!!

Food great. Waited ages for the bill after asking.

Great pizza! One was enough for 2 people if you get an appetizer to share, or if not too hungry.....decent prices, Ok service, ambiance. Recommended for a quick bite, pizza came out fast.

Pizza undercooked and not easily digestible, I expected something more given that it seems to be an Italian place. Friendly waiters.

I ate a good pizza. It was nice to speak a little Italian. Very kind staff. Davide super.

Amazing pizza and friendly staff :)))

Delicious pizza and friendly staff, you can definitely feel the Italian vibe x

We had the focaccia and olives followed by the cotto pizzas fantastic food would highly recommend this restaurant 👍🏼🍷

The food was good enough for a fast food place and the gluten free base was nice although I do begrudge paying an extra £3 for it because of dietary restrictions beyond my control. My main issue was with the service charge when we visited. When we had the bill, I said we didn't want to pay the service charge which we are well within our rights to do because it is discretionary. The staff member's attitude changed completely. He snatched the bill out of my hand, stormed off, got it removed, came back and dumped it on the table (he almost threw it that's how forceful it was) then left to nicely and politely serve customers who he obviously believed would pay the service charge. When he came back to us, he barely spoke. This is the sort of conduct I would expect from a child, not a fully grown adult whose entire behaviour just solidified the fact that we were right to decline to pay the service charge. We won't be going back because I refuse to be treated in such a manner by anyone, especially when I haven't actually done anything wrong.

Good spot for a quick bite to eat. Pizza is solid and quick.

Very good service from Rauine, delicious pizza and great atmosphere 🙌🏼

Pizza was amazing and the staff were great with our little one. Definitely recommend.

We had a great family evening at Salerno Pizza. Our pizzas were tasty and juicy with the right amount of tomato sauce and toppings. I definitely recommend it for the friendly atmosphere and the quality of the ingredients. Thanks to the staff !!!

Excellent pizza, good, I recommend it for anyone traveling to Edinburgh.

Pizza as good as in Italy, friendly and polite staff, when I come to Edinburgh Salerno Pizza must not be missed, thank you

Delicious food and the staff were super friendly would 100% recommend

Excellent experience in Edinburgh, real Neapolitan pizza delicious!!! A special thanks to the very good and sincere waiter Davide

Wish I could rat higher but it wasn't overly busy and we had to ask for things several times over to be given a dirty glass and also not enough cutlery or napkins for the whole table!

I visited this pizzeria based on a friend's recommendation, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The true star of the evening was the pizza chef Mauro, who, with his skill and passion, prepared one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted. Every bite was an explosion of flavors: the dough was perfectly leavened, soft yet crispy, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality. Mauro managed to create a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, bringing to the table a pizza that tells a story of love for cooking. I can't wait to return and enjoy his creations again. I highly recommend everyone to give this place a try

top Pizza, fast service and very good food

Very quick and perfect pizza! I had so good pizza really long ago!

I’ve been here many times and I will keep coming! An excellent pizza for a good price.

As Italians, my wife and I had a good time. Davide a boy from Naples was very kind to us. The oil that accompanies the focaccia is young but good, it is Spanish but this does not change the opinion. In the appetizers we liked the focaccia which we accompanied with a trio of cured meats.

Lovely pizza and service..clean and really nice atmosphere

Delicious food and nice atmosphere •

The pizza dough is fine. But they come with just a few ingredients. (I asked for extra mushrooms and there were 2 pieces on the entire pizza) +2.60. Hallucinatory. Excessively loud music to make you eat in a hurry. Impossible to have a conversation. I won't come back.

Had a great experience tonight in Salerno, been here a few times and as always i was very impressed by the service and quality of the food, can’t wait to come back.

Had dinner with my family, food was delicious, service was excellent. Friendly atmosphere, will definitely go back.

I came solo, and tables were available, but the host kept giving the tables to groups of 2 saying that no tables were available for me. When I asked further, host said I had to order, eat, and leave within 20 minutes. Understandable during busy hours, but not right to lie saying no tables were available.

Delicious pizza, delicious ice cream. But we came as a family of five and the large table was only on the aisle. You don't feel very comfortable. I would like to sit near the window or on the sofas, but there wasn’t such a large table there.

Quick and charming service (shout to Ash!), tasty pizza and reasonable (Edinburgh) pricing. Thanks folks 👏👏

Salerno Pizza offers an average dining experience. The pizza is okay—nothing particularly memorable, but it does the job if you’re craving a quick bite. The crust was a bit underwhelming, and the toppings were decent, though not exceptional. As for the service, it was also just okay. The staff were polite but not particularly attentive or friendly. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re in the area and need a quick meal, but don’t expect anything extraordinary.

love the pizzas, one of the best in Edinburgh

We were basically the only ones in there, but overall it was good food and average speed

Nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the pizza was not the best overpriced topping and has its own price To add olive Evie it costs £3 which is too much The pizza was cold The only good thing was the halal pepperoni The restaurant is very ordinary, and the pizza is cold The only good and halal thing is paprika

I lately went and ordered from there. There servers are just very unfriendly and will make you feel like you’re gonna dine and dash. I did complaint to her supervisor. It won’t do anything. Please just IGNORE this pizza joint please. You will thank me later👃🏻. Thanks

Friendly service and authentic pizza. Highly recommend

Me and my daughters visited Edinburgh for the first time. We came across this hidden gem while strolling along shopping centre and decided to give it a go, and what can I say - WOW, staff friendly, pizza's tasting amazing and I couldn't believe how not expensive it was! What I also loved about it that it's run by a family, which is rare nowadays. We would definitely be coming back once in Edinburgh again. Thank you xx.

Female supervisor was incredible today. I ordered the wrong thing (vegetarian) and she got it all fixed for me no problem.

Came to EDINBURGH for the marathon and needed to carb load the night before, we were torn between this restaurant and another but decided to try this one (purely because they had Nutella pizza on the menu). For a restaurant that looks like a chain restaurant, this exceeded our expectations: all the staff are Italian, the owners the Italian, and the Pizza is very obviously Italian made. Service was fantastic - very welcoming, quick service, no complaints at all. We had the Spianata spicy pizza & the carbonara pizza - both were insanely delicious, we actually think we preferred the carbonara pizza over the other. Would absolutely recommend and return again next year for another pre-marathon carb loading meal. Thank you so much!

Food was great good price and tasty Service a little slow left waiting quite a while at the end to pay but that was the only negative

Fantastic food and authentic pizza in the heart of Edinburgh. The decor and ambience of the place is also very warm and welcoming. We were a large group of 20 people and we booked online. They set everything up very nicely. The staff were super especially Annaliese who managed everything to perfection for us. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing, super busy but the service was great and fast. Danilo was great and the pizza was fantastic. We would recommend to anybody

Personale gentilissimo e io super disponibile pizza deliziosa, mi è sembrato di ritornare a Salerno nella mia dolce Italia

Delicious pizza, the best pizza eaten abroad!!! The guys are courteous and super fast in service. Well done.

We ended up here yesterday for a spot of lunch and it was really good. The menu is basic and is purely Pizza, this is a great thing because it means the Pizzas are brilliant. The Pizzas cane freshly made and were a good size, we also got a side of Foccacia and this was hot and had a nice oil dip at the side. We were £38 in total for two Pizzas, foccacia and two drinks which is good value for the portion size and location.
