Pizza Posto is a Neapolitan pizzeria on Nicolson Street in Edinburgh. The restaurant keeps its focus on pizza, creating a relaxed room for lunch and dinner every day. A concise format and quick oven time make it suitable for a casual meal without reducing the care given to the dough.
Multicereal dough rises slowly for 24 to 48 hours before it is shaped and topped. The pizzas are then blast baked in clay ovens, allowing the base to cook quickly while retaining moisture and the flour’s natural flavour. The resulting crust is soft, light and marked by the heat of the oven.
Classic tomato, mozzarella, meat and vegetable combinations sit beside house variations. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are identified, and a gluten free base is available, although it is cooked in the same oven and carries a cross contact risk. Guests with allergies should ask the team for current details before ordering.
Wine, beer, soft drinks and coffee accompany the food, while a children’s menu makes the pizzeria practical for families. The straightforward structure encourages diners to choose a pizza and enjoy it soon after baking. Pizza Posto’s character comes from patient fermentation, high heat and a clear commitment to the Neapolitan style.
