Civerinos Forrest Road is the group’s first Edinburgh slice bar and its second restaurant. Close to the university, it pairs exposed brick and graffiti art with a casual, spontaneous style of service. The venue is walk in only, with table service for guests staying to eat and a takeaway window for anyone after a quick slice.
The menu explores three distinct American pizza traditions. New York style pies have large foldable slices and a thin crisp base, Detroit style pizza uses a thick airy dough with caramelised cheese edges, and New Haven inspired apizza brings a leaner, charred crust. That range lets texture matter as much as the toppings.
Margherita and pepperoni sit beside combinations using nduja, hot honey, sausage, mushrooms and whipped ricotta. Whole pies suit groups, while single slices encourage diners to compare styles in one visit. Vegan and vegetarian choices are available, and current allergy information can be requested from the team.
Drinks and simple sides support the pizza without turning the venue into a formal restaurant. Its dog friendly policy and late opening reinforce the easygoing neighbourhood character. Civerinos Forrest Road succeeds by treating the slice as a serious form of pizza while preserving the speed and sociability that make it appealing.
