Massive menu (possibly too big), not used to so many vegan options!! Very inventive pizzas with lovely thin crust. Great size too. Really enjoyed the oreo cheesecake, big enough for 2 to share.

Amazing!!! Fav place I’ve been to! 💗 - Edit
This was our 1st restaurant we visited in Edinburgh and after our meal we didn’t want to eat anywhere else! The food was absolutely delicious! Would travel back to Edinburgh just for this restaurant! Fully plant based which is great! And the food menu went on and on with the most vegan options I’ve ever seen on one menu! Really really enjoyed it and amazing atmosphere! Will defo return one day! 100% Recomned to everyone even if your not vegan you have to visit!! 😋

Buena comida, local acogedor pero el servicio no fué correcto. Camarero un poco mal encarado. Cocina italiana vegana con opciones vegetarianas.

Best vegan pizza in Edinburgh - Edit
I have brought my all family here and even if they are not vegan they loved everything!! The pizza is just like the one they make in Rome (thin and not too big) but in a vegan style of course

Unbelievable! - Edit
[Recommend booking] One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Staff were 10/10, and food was simply incredible. I had the truffle pasta (can’t remember the actual name) and it was so creamy and mushroomy, it took me right back to before I was vegan. My partner had a pizza which was equally amazing. My new favourite restaurant!

Perfect pizza - Edit
Love novapizza, one of the best vegan restaurants in Edinburgh. So good we ended up coming here after getting engaged! Small place with only a couple of tables, but great food (especially the white four cheese pizza). Also excellent gluten free options that taste good!

Great vegan options - Edit
Amazing menu with lots of pizza and pasta options all totally vegan.
Read moreWe had 3 pasta dishes, the vodka pasta was my favourite, and a 4 cheese/mushroom pizza (a little sweet for my liking) garlic bread and olives were delicious. Dessert we had the creme brûlée, nice but lemony which was unusual. The tiramisu was disappointing, bit expensive and not nice and light, but a good size. Overall would visit again. Servers were very helpful nice guys.
Pros: Lots of choice, Friendly servers, Traditional cooking
Cons: Bit pricey, Small restaurant so a little cramped, Tiramisu not sweet enough

Best Vegan Italian Restaurant Ever!!! - Edit
I love how authentic this little place is. It feel so homely and the food is too class. This is the best vegan food I’ve had in a restaurant since being vegan. I will keep coming back here until I’ve tried everything on the menu!

Actually awful - Edit
I have NO IDEA how this place has so many positive reviews. It was one of the worst meals out I have ever had. Only good thing was the olive starter, although they obviously came from a jar.
Read moreThe pizza was the worst I have ever had. I don't know how they can screw it up so badly. The dough was white and soft, barely cooked, and got very soggy. It said it had ham and pepperoni on, but I didn't find a single pepperoni and the quorn ham wasn't great. Cheese was scarce and tasteless.
I ordered an orange san pellegrino and got a lemon one instead. My boyfriend was served a warm beer at one point. When the waitress asked if I wanted to take home the 3/4 of my pizza left, I declined and mentioned it wasn't very good. She just said 'ok' and cleared the table.
Mediocre food, poor service, mega overpriced for the trash it is. There are infinitely better italian restaurants for a lot less money.
Cons: Everything

Delicious - good cheese - Edit
Had a delicious pasta dinner. The penne all’s vodka and the salmon pasta. Both were delightful. The cheese cake was also outstanding I can’t understand how they make it so good. The restaurant has a nice cozy vibe too.
Read moreWe enjoyed it so much we ordered pizzas the next night for delivery, which I was nervous about because vegan pizza cheese often tastes like coconut and sick - this did not! Their cheese is great obviously homemade, no strange tastes. Genuinely delicious.
Really recommend!!!

Left very disappointed - Edit
We really wanted to love this place. We came here for a romantic meal and felt let down. Menu was on a QR code, if you forget you glasses you can't read it as the text is so small. I know covid is around but even a candle on the table would have been nice. It had more of a cheap cafe feel than a fine food restaurant. The food was mediocre - pasta was nice and the fake steak medallions looked great but was awful texture and flavour. We actually sent it back. We visited Autumn 2020 so maybe its improved by now.
Read morePros: Wine was lovely. Really nice staff.
Cons: Food not great, not value for money

Fully vegan Italian restaurant with lots of different options. Prices on the high side for Edinburgh, but the taste and texture of the plates are worth the money
Read morePros: Amazing selection and variety , Great salmon flavour in the pasta , Great cheese textures and flavours
Cons: More expensive than others, We didn’t enjoy the ricotta starter

Best vegan and gluten free meal ever! - Edit
Amazing menu with so many gluten free options. I’ve not been able to have Italian since becoming gluten free & vegan over 10 years ago so this was an unbelievable find. The food is delicious and moreish. I literally had a 3 course meal because I wanted to try it all. Non alcoholic wine was also offered which really complimented the meal and as a non drinker this was such a bonus compared to having a Diet Coke!
Read moreStaff were really friendly and the place was super cute too. I’d definitely be back. Also I took my mum and sister who aren’t vegan and they absolutely loved the food so it’s definitely suitable for everyone (even the fussy meat eaters out there 🙈).

Great Pizza - Edit
The food was great and so we're the staff (I say staff, there was only 1 person who I could see who was looking after the whole restaurant and although she seemed super busy she was very attentive and very lovely). 2 of us went halves on 2 pizzas and desserts and we left stuffedand happy ☺️

Absolutely loved my visit to Nova Pizza. Shared starters of bruschetta and focaccia dracula which were both incredible and tasted so fresh.
Read moreFor mains enjoyed gnocchi and penne norma. The portions were plentiful and served in a pan which was a nice touch.
For dessert enjoyed the Oreo cheesecake with ice cream and the tiramisu.
Would have loved to try the Vego chocolate pizza for dessert but was just too full! Will need to return and try this!
Very happy with my experience here and Looking forward to my next visit 😁
Pros: Starters were incredible , Lovely atmosphere
Cons: Book in advance

Tasty, worth the money, excellent service, - Edit
We had the gnocci with pesto and spaghetti carbonara with some sides.
Read moreEspecially the mains were really delicious. The portions were quite big.
They have a lot of options to choose from including a big selection of pizza, pasta and sides/starters.
The service was execellent, our waiter was attentive but not in the intrusive way I experienced in different restaurants before.
The restaurant is pretty small, you might have to make a reservation.
Pros: fully vegan
Cons: expensive (but worth it)

Amazing Authentic Italian - Edit
Loved this restaurant. Small, homely and authentic. We had bruschetta and the caprese salad for starters. Their homemade ricotta was amazing. Followed by Carbonara and 4 Stagioni pizza. The portions were huge so for us we definitely ordered too much!

Fully vegan Italian - Edit
It’s nice to find a vegan restaurant that isn’t just burgers & junk food. I had the 4 stagioni pizza which was okay, but not amazing. It was kind of strange that it was in 4 segments, I didn’t really know that was a thing? I would prefer my toppings to be mixed! I would definitely go again to try something else on the menu, as the atmosphere was nice.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Plenty of extra toppings for pizzas available
Cons: Expensive, Small space - definitely pre book

Thank you Emily! We hope to see you back soon! :)
