Welcome

On the promenade at Portobello, where Figgate Lane runs down to the sand, a pink-and-white front painted with a great curling wave is the seaside slice bar of Civerinos, the Edinburgh pizza makers.

It opened in April 2021, and on a sunny day the queue runs along the prom.

The pizza comes by the slice, in two styles: thin New York slices folded in half to eat on the go, and thick, crisp-edged Detroit squares. There are sides too, fries, mozzarella sticks and garlic crust bites, and plant-based choices on the menu board. Most people take their slices across the prom and onto the beach, though there are bench tables outside and a little room to eat in.

The slice bar opens every day from noon until nine. It takes no bookings, and dogs are welcome. Civerinos has another slice bar on Forrest Road, and pizzerias in Stockbridge, Hunter Square and Leith.
