Pizza Posto

Edinburgh, 2025-08-15

It’s amazing that we’ve been coming to Pizza Posto for three years and they still haven’t solved some of the fundamental issues. There’s always a massive queue outside that is always massively unclear whether that’s for walk-ups or for reservations. Eventually George navigates this, and we’re in. The service is… in some ways quicker than usual, but certainly odder. They decide, as they seat six of us, that there should only be five place settings, and act surprised when we ask for another glass and set of cutlery. They forget a starter and a dessert, eventually take them off the bill, and then deliver the dessert. I don’t even get to have a chocolate Baileys espresso martini! But, the pizzas are good - today, a margarita with Tuscan sausage and parmesan - as is the tiramisu, it’s reasonably priced, and it’s pretty much equidistant between Pleasance Courtyard and Pleasance Dome and we always seem to end up with one night going from one to the other, so it’s a good option.
