Good Neapolitan pizza 👌🏻🍕 Highlights - Tasty pizzas and nice options - Tiramisu with a gentle coffee flavour - Lovely and friendly staff - Good price-quality We had a nice time at Paesano, definitely worth a visit! 🍕 The selection of pizza was nice, I had a ham and mushroom pizza and the ingredients were decent. The crust of the pizza was really nice and fluffy. 🍰 We're stuffed but shared a tiramisu and it was a perfect one person portion. Often a Tiramisu has the recognizable strong coffee liquor flavour but this one didn't. It was more delicate, which we actually liked. 🎶 The service was nice and the smallest mistake (forgetting to bring us a side dip) was addressed promptly. The atmosphere of the place wasn't our favourite. The music was loud and the overall space wasn't a relaxing one, but I guess it comes to personal preference! But the pizza a Paesano Is absolutely worth a try!

Pizzas run roughly £8–£15; specials on the West End page recently sat £12.90–£14.90. Vegan toppings can go on the No. 1 base; no gluten-free base and no house vegan cheese (you may bring your own). Strict walk-in only — no bookings or large-table reservations. Queues are normal at peak times. Takeaway is walk-up only (no delivery, no pre-order). High chairs and wheelchair access are available; not dog-friendly except service dogs. Part of DRG; the brand was named Scotland’s Best Pizzeria at the 50 Top Pizza Europa Awards 2026.
Reviews
If you're looking for a great traditional pizza, this is the place. The service is friendly, and the pizza turnaround is impressively fast. They have a small, curated menu with some excellent options. The restrooms were clean and well-kept. While the atmosphere is pretty typical and nothing to write home about, the quality of the food and service makes up for it. It’s also significantly better than their city center location, so I'd highly recommend coming to this branch instead.
Read on Google MapsFantastic establishment. Pizza was really good and well worth the time spent here. Real Italian woodfire Pizza made in front of you gets your tantalising taste buds flowing. There is a reason why this place is popular. Well done to the staff.
Read on Google MapsHands down the best pizza I’ve ever had! I never really enjoyed Napoli-style pizza before, but this place completely won me over. The service was fast, the atmosphere full of character, and everything showed their real passion for authenticity and quality.
Read on Google MapsI’m not usually a fan of pizza—it’s typically my last choice—but this pizza restaurant is probably one of my favourites in the UK. I tried the Fior di Latte mozzarella pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was quite large, and I couldn’t manage to finish it, though my friends thoroughly enjoyed theirs and cleared their plates. The restaurant was busy, which suggests it’s a popular spot in town. The staff were incredibly lovely, adding to the overall positive experience.
