Best veggie Italian restaurant - Edit
Can’t recommend this enough! Everything is vegetarian and nearly everything is also available vegan. Went today for the second time with my family who isn’t vegan, but they loved it just as much.

Relaxing Place - Edit
Went for couple of pizzas with a mate. Very relaxing place, small and independent, Lovely waitress, very friendly.
Read moreHad the inferno calzone, wow it was filling. Really enjoyed the seitan in pizza (thinly sliced) as it's something I don't usually eat/enjoy.
Would defo go back, good Italian wine too!

Charcoal pizza - everything burnt - Edit
My partner and I went to Nova Pizza last Wednesday. Everything we ordered was burnt to a crisp. The garlic focaccia appetiser was burnt to a cinder around the edges, as were both pizzas. If I was dining alone I would have sent everything back but my too polite partner didn't want to make a fuss because we'd have good experiences previously. I've been frequenting this restaurant on a regular basis since it opened and I'm appalled by the deterioration in quality. The chef seems to have no pride in the standard of the food leaving the kitchen.
Read morePros: Waitress very polite and professional, Organic wine, Diverse menu
Cons: Food quality, Price per quality, Small table space

quality food - Edit
based in stockbridge just a short distance from town. Novopizza is a friendly welcoming eatery offer a total vegetarian menu, with a double page vegan menu.
Read morea good choice of starters, i have the bruschetta which was really good offering a good slice of bread, covered in vine tomato gently cooked in olive oil and balsamic, not oily at all.
there are plenty of main options and i went for the vegan pepperoni which was was on a thin base and well cooked, the vegan cheese was a much stronger flavour the mozzarella and was bubbling over the pepperoni and tomato base. my friend had the veggie calzone which was huge and came with a small side salad.
visited again recently and upped to 5 coos. it's not about the veggie food, its also about the ingredients. he only uses organic flour in his pizza and when we spoke about this he said i have a five year old, i want her to eat good food. Owners who believe in what they are doing not just out to make money from a growth in vegan food.
the one think i wouls like to add is that it does great pasta. nearly everyone i know gets pizza and has never tried the pasta, give it a go it's great.
Still awesome
It's not cheap for an Italian, but it's [censored] still awesome!
Upped the presentation. Boom.
Pros: location, organic produce, staff

Delicious - Edit
Great food. Pretty much anything can be made vegan upon request. If anything the portion sizes are too large; I got a half portion of pasta and it was more than enough.

Wonderfully cosy, friendly and tasty - Edit
Nova is a must visit if you are ever in Edinburgh. I decided to go after hearing so many positive reviews and looking at the menu. What a wonderful place! The restaurant itself is a proper Italian with gorgeous murals on the walls. The staff are so so friendly. I was so impressed with the menu, I'd never seen Seitan on pizza offered before. As for the food, I think I can say it was the best pizza I've ever had. It seems like many agree as the man next to me said the same thing! Also, I recommend the Vegan Chocolate cake for desert - divine! 5 stars through and through! I will definitely return - maybe for Valentines day!

The only place for Pizza - Edit
I've been going to Nova for over a year and it's still the best pizza in town.
Read moreThey have stopped doing their eat all you can night which is probably the best for my waist line. They do a nice choice of different flavours and pasta dishes which will suit everyone and they have drinks as well.
Pros: great Vegan options, great staff, lovely decoration
Cons: on the expensive side, always best to book as its very popular, a little cramped when full

Nova Pizza is great!! Their vegan bolognese might be the best I've ever had. They also do great pizza. It's a small venue but I've never had a problem getting a table.

Restaurant does NOT allow children under 5 - Edit
What more is there to say? I was really excited to eat here with my family after the very long walk to find a handwritten sign on the door that says they do not allow children under 5. Absolute waste.

amazing! - Edit
I came here on the recommendation of a friend who said it was amazing, and they were not wrong! I got the vegan lasagne, which was absolutely incredible, tasted so authentic, very very similar to a real meaty lasagne! My partner got a pizza, which he said was also amazing, so they had two very happy customers in us!

Incredible Italian - Edit
If you love Italian food this is the place to go. I thought i had said goodbye to my all time favourite dish “4 cheese gnocchi” forever when I became vegan but these guys made it happen and nailed it. Absolutely recommend this place, the meals are amazing and the restaurant is cozy. Friendly staff.

even better than expected! - Edit
Massive vegan menu, so many different pizzas (all of which can be made into calzones), pasta dishes, plus desserts and starters! We had the pepperoni and vegan cheese calzone, and the vegan salmon(!) creamy penne pasta. Wonderful food. Plus a lovely ambience and friendly staff, and very fair prices. We had the crème brulé which we weren't so fond of, so we'd try vegan cheesecake or dessert pizza next time!
