Salerno Pizza in Edinburgh, City of

After attending a Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Meeting/Lunch at The Balmoral Hotel, visited "Salerno Pizza" on Monday night with a couple of Italian Friends from Basilicata, (who had suggested this place). The Pizzas arrived in super-quick time and the quality was much better than I ever expected and excellent value. Also, the young Lady that looked after us, she was charming and efficient. PS. Was surprised at your extremely restricted Wine List!

Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Service is fast and food is always great. 👌

Beautiful. Too kind and they had Montepulciano! Truly a pleasure.

Beautiful restaurant with very affordable prices, wonderful pizza, cozy atmosphere and super helpful and attentive staff.

One of the best pizza in Edinburgh

Website said it was open until 9:30 pm, but when we arrived (after a lonnnng day of traveling) at 8:40, the hostess said they were closing early, even though dozens of diners were eating and drinking. I said something rude and walked out and began looking for another restaurant. That’s when the hostess chased me down and said to come back, that the chef would stick around a few minutes longer to serve us. I apologized for being rude, but I felt about two inches tall. A huge thank you to the hostess Anna for the professional way she handled this. Who does kind things like this in this day and age? (The pizza was great, too).

Great service and very tasty pizza. I recommend it!

Great service and great food ordered the margarita pizza and came uncut so you can choose your size and cheap friend ordered number 6 and same goes

Good margarita but apple juice diluted with water

The best pizza I’ve ever had and I’ve had so many pizzas. Proper Italian food, perfectly priced, staff are lovely

Otra gran visita. Estas son las pizzas napolitanas más auténticas que hemos probado fuera de Italia. Servicio rápido, amable y eficiente. Somos clientes habituales y las pizzas son consistentemente deliciosas. Una joya absoluta.

Great food, super nice atmosphere, nice people. Beautiful pizza with good taste, fresh ingredients and tasty cheese and thin base, definitely recommended!

¡Gran pizza! Muy auténtico y cocinado a la perfección. Servicio genial. No es un lugar de lujo, pero sin duda volveremos ya que la comida era tan buena.

An acceptable pizza, without many pretensions. Price according to the place. Very busy. Fast service.

Really good. Kids enjoyed it too 👍

Great customer service made to feel very welcome, food was amazing would highly recommend

A lovely experience! The food was a tad salty but overall very good. Our service was friendly and our food came quickly. Thank you, will come again!

The Pizzas and the Foccaccia Bread were outstanding and the taste was on top. I would really want to come back to this pizza restaurant again. And also the people in the restaurant were really nice.

Tasty light pizza..I had mozzarella and tomatoes asked for basil to give more flavour. Lovely helpful staff would go back

Service was excellent, my friends had some modifications to the dishes they ordered without any problems. Unfortunately, the pizza was not the best, mostly due to the base teksture and the quality of the ingredients used. You can find a better pizza in the neighbourhood for a similar price.

Very good pizza, very little waiting, quite good prices compared to other pizzerias here in Edinburgh, highly recommended for those looking for a good Neapolitan pizza

Fantastic pizza with great service. Our waitress Anneleise was juggling a helluva lot (the wifi was down so reservations weren't showing) but she did so with efficiency and good humour. Will definitely go back!

I ordered a Pinot Grigio that was listed on the menu. Unfortunately, the server brought out a completely different brand of Pinot Grigio that wasn’t listed, without informing me about the substitution. There was no explanation or communication about the change, which I found disappointing. I understand that things can run out, but I feel it’s important for staff to let customers know if something isn’t available and offer a replacement before serving it.

Nice pizza, lovely staff and good decor.

Beautiful food, Great atmosphere. Looks expensive for pizza but once you get yours you see why. Can highly recommend.

Truly a pleasant experience. The pizza was good, not to be biased, but you can tell they are Italian. Nothing to say about the service either, fast and friendly, I was served by Danilo who was really approachable, making everything more pleasant.

Told were to sit in an almost empty restaurant, food came very quick , but was under cooked and to be honest tasted terrible ,45 pounds and we were in the restaurant total 20 minutes , pretty poor indeed

After a long hard day watching the rugby we needed a quick bite to keep us going. My very organised wife managed to get a table for 6 at the Salerno Pizza on a very busy Saturday night. The staff were very friendly and professional. We were sat quickly, water provided and drink orders taken. Pizza orders were taken when our drinks arrived, and within 10 minutes we were tucking in, which was excellent. Our group all agreed that the pizzas were delicious, staff excellent and the restaurant had a fun atmosphere. I have no hesitation in recommending if you are looking for a decent pizza, with good service at reasonable price in Edinburgh city centre.

Food is absolutely vile. Uncooked and sloppy.

I still haven't finished eating the pizza, and it must be said that everything is spectacular, from the pizza to the focaccia and above all the great kindness of all the staff, they really make you feel at home. Highly recommended... You are great.

Best pizzeria out of italy, the pasta of the pizza is so light and tasty, the tomato sauce is very fresh. The waiters are funny and kind, one even asked us if we wanted a picture of our group. the place is warm and relaxing. Everyone should go here at least once if he's in Edinburgh. ci avete fatto sentire a casa! from 4BSU thank you.

Amazing quality pizza that came out fast, Caitlin was so lovely and all in all had a great time

A passeggio per Edimburgo e shopping nel centro commerciale, ecco una pizzeria italiana. Ambiente accogliente, ottima la pizza. Consigliato.

Neapolitan style pizzas with great flavor and very, VERY fast service. The pizzas have a good flavor and their price is quite affordable, they are baked and are thin and soft. It has the Italian philosophy of few ingredients and a lot of flavor. On the bad side, it doesn't have much variety on its menu, it's not an Italian restaurant, it's a pizzeria and that's it. They also don't have any dressings or sauces that you can use. If you want to eat a delicious pizza, quickly and continue with your day, it is for you. If you want a place to eat, have a nice time and have options, variety, desserts, etc. Better look for another place.

In near empty restaurant was told exactly where I had to sit. Quite strange as asked for nice little table and was told "we tell customers where to sit". This would 100% be OK if busy but was 80% empty and felt very odd #awks

It's one of the best pizza places in town. It's a very friendly place, and the server was excellent. I strongly recommend it.

Amazingly warm inviting and attentive staff and servers, smiling, helping one another, working hard delivering great service! ( I would like to say that Jen is a star!) My margarita Pizza was absolutely delish…real Napoli pizza crust! I highly recommend!

A superb neapolitan style pizza, the buffalo mozzarella is worth the extra cost. Food came out piping hot amazingly quickly considering how busy the restaurant was, our server Anneleise was super efficient and all too happy to accommodate special requests!

The best pizza I had in a long time. Staff is polite, friendly and efficient.They were kind enough to understand our customisations. Ambience is good too.

We ordered an anchovy pizza, but it came with dough covered in a salty sauce and no anchovies at all. The pizza didn’t even have cheese. A real horror…

Very busy pizzeria. Waited for a while in the queue got asked if we’re waiting for table for 2 then we got completely ignored . Instead the staff prioritised the people behind us completely ignoring our request with visible tables available for 2 people.

Great pizza and great service, italian waiters which is a plus to feel at home

Great food, great service, great everything. If you are visiting Edinburgh you have to come to Salerno Pizza. They made our pizza really fast but it might be because we came at 3 o’clock and there was 5 tables token. The climate, wow! The great thing is that there should be no pineapple on pizza. On the sign „Ain’t no Pineapple” I agree Salerno. But to conclude come if your near Edinburgh!

Couldn’t even make it though the door. Ignored by members of staff so couldn’t even sit down. Senior member of staff came over only to collect menus and not greet us, he seemed more interested in setting up new empty tables than sitting anyone at them. Waited for 20min, watched multiple potential customers walk out as they had also been waiting and given up. Not a single customer was seated in the whole 20minutes despite there being 15+ tables free. Atleast 4 members of staff working the tables. Very disappointed.

The food was okay, it was very cold. My husband had to return his pizza twice as he had been given the wrong order. When asked for a new one the waitress had came back with a raw dough like pizza. Not impressed! The service was horrid, people were holding the doors open, it brought a cold breeze to me and my husband. There was one particular waitress I wasn’t the biggest fan of. She was continuously rude to me and my husband and was very blunt. She gave a bad, unpleasant energy to me and my husband Richard. I came across a long brown hair found in my rocket and parmesan salad, which was mainly lettuce with a sprinkle of cheese. This is a horrible restaurant, my Richard was extremely ill for days after eating here. We will not be coming back. And will be sure to inform our family and friends!!!!!!

Based on my experience this place should have a higher rating. The pizza was very good (like very good), service was fast, and it was fairly priced (£8.9 for a margarita, and other pizzas for about £11-£12). This is a true Italian pizza, the dough is out of this world, and you get that beautiful black oven crust on the edges. The margarita with garlic is enough of a reason to come back.

It was the most tasteless soggy pizza I've ever ever eaten! A cheap frozen one from Aldi's is far tastier!

Over all very nice, food came fast and very delicious, beautiful lights, amazing atmosphere. The waitress was a little mean and kept eyeing me and my freinds when we haven’t done anything

everyone’s so rude don’t come here

This is my second time at this pizzeria in Edinburgh. It will definitely be a must-visit on any trip!

Was the best experience I had since ítaly and five stars to Danilo

Italian pizzeria on the fourth floor of a shopping center. Neapolitan, delicious, light and super digestible. High quality ingredients and Italian guys all super nice and kind. If you are in the area and want a good pizza to go back to your origins, you are in the right place! Truly top pizza carbonara!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!"

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.

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

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.

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.

Excellent Italian pizza in Edinburgh, recommended!!

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!!!
