Errol's Hot Pizza

By far the best pizza in the Southside of Glasgow. This place could stand tall on its food alone but with the addition of the funky retro atmosphere and awesome rock music it's an instant winner. If it was easier to get a table I would eat here every weekend.

We came to Glasgow for the weekend and on Saturday afternoon, set about the business of trying to identify the thinnest, crispiest, most authentically Romana-Styled pizza in town. 'Erol's Hot Pizza' appeared to be a fairly good bet, so we resolved to walk for 45 minutes (past innumerable Hipsteresque 'Napoletana-Styled' outlets; offering characteristically sumptuous and puffy-looking UNESCO-protected crusts of exquisite sourdough with little puddles of of terribly expensive toppings somewhere in amongst them for you to tuck your knife and fork into 🙄), and present ourselves in person to contend for the walk-in table at 'Erol's Hot Pizza' as upon phoning to enquire, we were informed that all of their bookings were taken (I would recommend booking in advance, apparently they are consistently full). The staff were understanding, and advised us to entertain ourselves at a nearby establishment whereupon they would ring us in the event that a table were to become available. After a refreshing beverage and half a game of Cribbage at The Victoria across the road, the phone rang with the happy tidings that a table had indeed become available for us. The atmosphere inside was relaxed and the music good. To make matters even better, we were informed that 'Erol's Hot Pizza' was in fact BYO so I sourced a good bottle of wine from nearby. The pizzas themselves were nothing short of sensational. Exactly what I had been hoping for; wide enough to protrude over the edge of a large pizza plate in every direction, crispy enough to pick up an entire slice between finger and thumb without the need to support the pointy end with another finger, and thin enough that I felt that I could happily take down another straight afterwards had the occasion provided. Importantly, they were not suffocating in a slick of cheap cheese. The perfect, sparing allocation of quality ingredients to allow optimum conditions for the dough to actually cook properly. An observance so often scornfully overlooked by the Common Or Garden incompetent High-Street Pizzaiolo... An entirely joyous pizza experience. Probably the best pizza in the city. A number of regular patrons with whom we spoke certainly seemed to think so. Definitely one of the best pizzas that I have eaten. There have been many... many... Literally cannot recommend highly enough. Three cheers and five stars for 'Erol's Hot Pizza'!

Pizzas were 10/10 and the staff and service was top notch 👍 will definitely be back again! For those wondering wether they should try the salad you definitely should it was class and I don't even like salads that much

Highly recommend Errol’s. The vibes in here are so cool and you don’t feel like you’re in Glasgow at all - very New York New York. This was up there with the best NY style pizza I’ve had in Glasgow and such good value. The BYOB element is fab too. In total we paid £40 for our large pizza, salad, burratta, dip, and corkage. Love that the burratta changes regularly and the salad was crazy but so good. Service was well paced and friendly too. Can’t wait to return!

Portion size was epic! Food was fresh and delicious! Staff were attentive, sound, kind & friendly. Tunes were loud and eclectic. Prices were decent.
