Pizzeria 1926

Joe De Martino

Best authentic Neapolitan pizza in Edinburgh is at Pizzeria 1926 on Dalry Road a few minutes walk from Haymarket railway station. It is one of the only establishments in UK that is certified with the "Vera Pizza Napoletana" recognition. We tried the Zielinski and the Ostigard and having recently tried a number of pizzas in Napoli, Italy, these were equally as exquisite. Gennaro, the head pizza chef, knows his stuff. The dough is fluffy with just the right level of yeast fermentation. The ingredients are all DOP and the wood fired oven runs at the right temperature. The resulting pizzas just melts in your mouth. The staff is friendly and quick to serve, and the restaurant represents the Neapolitan following for the Napoli football team. Highly recommended.

Such good pizza. Like, better than most places we tried in Italy last summer good. Not many options for our son with food allergies but he had some chips and they were really good. The service was a bit lacking. The girls were nice just inattentive. They were more interested in chatting to each other. The restaurant is quite large compared to most we found in the city, as well as bright and airy. We still can’t figure out why Europe doesn’t cut their pizza or order pizza cutters. lol This place could sharpen their table knives for sure. We basically ended up ripping our pizzas apart.

There were about 20 of us turned up here for pizza and they were very accommodating. All the staff were lovely and friendly and the starters and Pizza were delicious. We didn't have to wait long and we could even buy alcohol here so an even better meal. If you are ever close by, definitely pop in. Lovely little place 💙
