Welcome

On Dalry Road, a few minutes' walk west of Haymarket, a pale blue shopfront reads Pizzeria e Friggitoria 1926.

Since 2016 it has been cooking pizza the way it is made in Naples, and it is the only pizzeria in Scotland to be a member of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the Naples association that guards the rules of the real thing.

That means dough left to rise slowly, baked fast in a very hot oven, with the soft, puffed, lightly charred crust that is chewy at the edge and tender in the middle, topped simply with tomato, mozzarella and the classics of Naples. As a friggitoria it fries too, with arancini and other Neapolitan snacks to start. The room is small and friendly, with the feel of a neighbourhood pizzeria anywhere in southern Italy.

Pizzeria 1926 opens every day, from the evening on Mondays and Tuesdays and from noon the rest of the week. Tables can be booked on 0131 337 5757.
