The story
Civerinos, on Hunter Square, brings an Italian-American sensibility to Edinburgh’s pizza scene. As Only Scrans notes in their food guide, this isn’t your standard slice: expect creative options like a pizza lasagna and a Chicago-style deep dish, alongside a Giant Mozzarella Stick with Ranch Dip. It’s a place that leans into indulgence and mash-ups, offering a menu that feels both familiar and unexpected.
The vibe is trendy and playful, fitting for a city that loves its pizza but appreciates a twist. While the restaurant carries a solid 4.4-star rating, the real draw seems to be its willingness to experiment—without losing the comfort of classic ingredients. For those ready to venture beyond Neapolitan, Civerinos offers a compelling, cheese-laden detour.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
Scrans’s pizza lasagna is the standout, a gloriously messy mashup that delivers on indulgence. The overall vibe is unpretentious, hearty comfort food that feels like a warm, satisfying hug.
“The pizza lasagna was genius. It's essentially lasagna with thin sheets of pizza dough instead of pasta. It was amazing.”

Giant Mozzarella Stick with Ranch Dip
The giant mozzarella stick was absolutely outstanding. It was very very good, especially with the ranch dip. It could have been a meal in itself.
- Lasagna
Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza
The Chicago-style deep dish pizza was the closest you can get to a real Chicago pizza outside of Chicago. It was incredible — they're doing all the right things here. I highly recommend coming here.
