Civerinos Pizza Review | Vegan Edinburgh

Review analysis
food   menu  

Civerinos, located just off the Royal Mile in Hunter Square, is one of the coolest pizza places in town.

At the time of writing, there is only one vegan option on the menu at Civerinos, but it’s one more option than a lot of pizza places serve!

I was really surprised when the pizza came out and there was absolutely no attempt of vegan “cheese” on it.

I have had pizza ruined in the past by sub-standard vegan “cheese”, so actually leaving it out entirely was a really good call.

This is definitely one of the more imaginative vegan pizza options in the city, so it’s definitely worth checking out.

Stylish Hunter Square venue with communal bench tables and some of the city’s finest sourdough pizza and Italian street food.

This Civerinos operation is all about taking the time to share and enjoy good Italian food, a very different approach to their grab-and-go pizza slice bar on Forrest Road.

There are salads, pizzas (the base here is thinner and crispier than Slice's New York-inspired pies) and pastas.

The big things to share option offers the very popular steak tagliata, a salumi board of meats and cheeses or bruschetta.

The atmosphere is relaxed with exposed brick walls plastered with posters, R&B on the stereo, shared tables and everything served on wooden boards, metal trays or vintage bowls.

The Hawaiian pizza at Civerinos Slice will make you do the hula, says Gaby Soutar You can tell a lot about people from their pizza eating habits.

I’d say, if you fold, you should probably have ordered a calzone, but, apparently, along with a thin and crispy base, foldability is a feature of the New York style pizza that they serve at this joint, a sister restaurant to the original and slightly more formal Civerinos on Hunter Square.

Back in February the president of Iceland said he was “fundamentally opposed” to pineapple on pizza, spawning the Twitter hashtag #pineappleonpizza, used by some (Justin Trudeau, for example) to support this Canadian creation, while others agreed that it’s an abomination (Gordon Ramsay).

Though the pizzas here are kind of sloppy looking and feral, it tasted way more sophisticated than the usual retro syrupy fruit and fleshy ham creation, with a base of sweet sugo, shreds of smoked pork shoulder, a judicious amount of grated mozzarella, chunks of fruit that had been charred to caramelisation, rocket and lots of black pepper.

Another sweet-ish pizza is the Meat is Murder (£4.50) slice – a vegan option, with more of that marinara sugo, halved figs, nuts and piperade.

Civerinos Slice opened in Edinburgh’s Old Town in May 2017.

This second city centre destination for the award-winning Civerinos has 80 covers and serves 11 different pizzas by the slice in an informal, New-York-style street food dining room, where eating with your hands is strictly encouraged.

From Italian heritage, Michele Civiera, founder of Civerinos, has worked with the very best pizza chefs from Sardinia to Sicily to ensure that the pizzas here are as authentic as possible.

Pizza, by the slice and 20-inchers.

Civerinos’ slushy cocktails, which include Frozey, (a frozen rosé wine drink), are a great summer accompaniment to your slice.
