Overrated - Edit
I was disappointed with this one as I had such high expectations from the reviews. It’s always great to have a fully vegan restaurant but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on great food. The food was bland, really lacked some key ingredients that make Italian food delicious. It doesn’t help that it’s very very overpriced for what it is. If you’re charging £17 for a carbonara I’d expect something about the place to be great.. but the venue itself is very small and difficult to get up from your seat without bumping into people. The staff were slow and inattentive. The choice in food was average and the food itself was very average.
Read moreAgain disappointing as I love all vegan restaurants but I think the price should reflect the quality of their food better.
Pros: All vegan
Cons: Overpriced, Average food

Tasty enough - Edit
Food was good enough but was sparse on a few major ingredients. Didn't have any of the mains when I dined there. Big portions. Bit on the pricey side.

Ten Star Pizza! - Edit
Caprese salad is delicious. We ordered a pizza a special and forget what it was called, but could very well be the best pizza ever!! Peanut butter and jam cheesecake is delightful and the Sacher torte is rich and flavorful. If you order pizza, order two. And get some to go. SO good!!!

Four and a half stars - Edit
We enjoyed some good pizza and really good pasta here, but I suppose vegan tiramisu is a hard one to pull off. we also received some very tasty zucchini rolls compliments on the chef. Very friendly waiter, good atmosphere

Best Vegan Pizza - Edit
For appetiser we both shared a bruschetta and it was really lovely and fresh, served slightly warm. The bread was nice and thick and it was easily shareable but equally would be easy enough to eat alone. I had a meat feast pizza and my boyfriend had the pepperoni. Mine was delicious! I also tried the pepperoni and that was really good too. Maybe even slightly better than the one I chose (Food envy). They were both very saucy and indulgent. Quite possibly the best vegan pizza I have had since going vegan 2 years ago.
Read moreFor dessert, I had the chocolate cake, and whilst it had a nice flavour I would say that unfortunately the cake was a little dense and not quite the right texture. My boyfriend wanted the tiramisu but they had sold out, so he had the crème brûlée instead. I was curious as to how they had managed to recreate a crème brûlée as usually it would contain both milk and eggs, sadly I must say this recreation was not successful. Whilst the taste was okay, the texture was completely wrong. It was grainy and honestly a little weird. The desserts are the reason that I gave only 4 stars instead of 5.
We shared a bottle of wine which was lovely and well priced.
Pros: Totally vegan , Well priced wine
Cons: Desserts were not the right texture

Tasty pizza - Edit
Very good vegan restaurant. We started with the focaccia which wasn’t really focaccia it was more like a garlic pizza, perhaps deeper than their actual pizzas. We had 2 pizzas and they were very nice. Great options for toppings, lot of fake meats and lots of veg based. Would go back.

Best pizza I've ever had - Edit
This pizza was amazing. Lots of options to choose from on the menu, everything we ordered was delicious. Portion sizes for starters and sides were generous. Great decor, it was pouring with rain outside but inside was warm and cosy with good atmosphere

Great Pizza and Bellini 🍕 - Edit
Great pizza. I had the spicy meat. The mozzarella used is amazing l.
Read moreWe ordered starters and desserts too. The only reason I give four stars is because it's so so hot inside. I was full on having a melt down and so were the other tables. In fact there was a group of six and when one man went out for a smoke we were like keep the door open pleaseeeee.
Was approx £96 for two of us. That's three courses Ans 3 drinks.
I'd recommend. Best Bellini of my life 🥂
Pros: It's vegan
Cons: Very warm inside

The best all vegan italian restaurant ever! - Edit
Absolutely loved the calzone, the lasagna was pretty great too. I tasted a bit of the spaghetti carbonara and wished I had ordered this instead of the lasagna, it was this good. And the TIRAMISU 😍😍😍

Best Italian food I’ve ever had! - Edit
My husband and I had a wonderful meal here. We tried to come one night without reservations not knowing it was a small place that definitely needs to be pre-booked. We’d were happy to come back the next day. I had the soup special - peas & mint YUM! & my husband and I shared a pizza and gnocchi dish. It was truly the best quality Italian food I’ve ever eaten

I come to Edinburgh and visit my friend every year and we alway book this place. My friend is a non vegetarian and he says how amazing the food is. Pasta is freshly cooked and out of this world. My favourite restaurant ever!

Meh - Edit
We had gluten-free pizza and both were only meh. Both weren't seasoned well, and the dough was too thick and smooshy in the middle. Vegan cheese was good, brucscetta was very good. Server didn't pay attention, kept missing people needing sth even though there were only 3 tables with people
Read morePros: Good starters, Gluten free options for pasta and pizza
Cons: Very small space, Waitor is not attentive

Incredible tiramisu - Edit
We ordered the potatoes to share before our mains meals. They were really nice and tender but well roasted on the outside. I had the bolognese ravioli which was a special. The cheese and sauce made this meal particularly nice and it was a generous serving size. My partner had a pasta dish which tasted a bit “samey” after a while. I think because it didn’t have sauce. I can never resist a tiramisu when on offer even though I’d probably eaten enough. It was served with a strong coffee on the side. I liked it because it wasn’t particularly sweet and I could taste the coffee through it. It was presented well.
Read moreWe had booked and had a lovely table. I saw someone else turned away so I would book. I liked that it took a while between courses. Gave me time to recover!

Just the best vegan pizzas - Edit
Everything on this menu is a hit - between us, my partner and I have pretty much tried the whole thing over the years!
Read moreThe pizzas - for me - are the best vegan pizzas in Edinburgh. Everything feels and tastes lovingly hand made. The restaurant itself has a lovely homely but lively vibe… and, they’re on Deliveroo too!
Pros: Really tasty vegan food, GREAT pizzas, Homely, lively vibe
Cons: Pretty expensive, Book early

OK, but not really worth it - Edit
Service was friendly and prompt, but it seems like most of the food is based on the kind of widely available vegan products you'd find in any grocery store. The dishes were not well balanced. While the crust was actually quite good, it was so overloaded with these mediocre toppings that it became soggy and unpalatable. That being the case, the food itself is unremarkable and definitely not worth the price.

Food was incredible and delicious. The restaurant was decorated amazing and created an relaxing atmosphere. When we visited nova pizza they had pride flags up and the toilets were labeled as gender neutral.

Bloody good pizza - Edit
Ordered 4 pizzas for vegans and committed non vegans and they were excellent. Regardless of the pizzas being vegan they were some of the best pizzas I have eaten. The non vegans loved them and try as they might could not find fault with any of them.
Read moreLike many businesses they are struggling for staff and have restricted opening times but next time we are in Edinburgh definitely want to go into the restaurant and sit down and not just takeaway.
If you love Italian food that is vegan you have to try these guys!
Pros: Great pizza

A yummy treat - Edit
Italian food is definitely one of the hardest to come by as a vegan, so this one was high on my list of restaurants to try. The food was really good but I wasn't a huge fan of my pizza as it was quite soggy. I did, however, throughly enjoy my partners pasta so I would love to go back and try some more stuff!
Read moreCons: Pretty pricey

Delicious food - Edit
We loved our time at nova pizza, having the different bruschettas, pasta and pizza. I liked the carbonarra but it was a bit too heavy for me so would try a different one if you like something lighter! Loved the bruschettas, especially the spek and the pizza was also very good. I would echo other reviews that the wait staff maybe are not on par with other customer service. We had one extremely lovely helpful waiter and the other was not so much... However, this did not impact our experience at all personally. I would recommended reserving your table and the kitchen closes at 9 even though you can book after that. I didnt see any walk ins be shown seats even though the tables seems to be free for over an hour.

We came there after a long walk, without reservation. They were fully booked, but people were paying, so I guess a table would soon have been available. But we were turned away. The weather was good so we asked if we could have a pizza for take away. They refused saying they don‘t do take away. But we saw pizza boxes on shelves. Anything more to say?
