PizzaExpress Edinburgh Morningside occupies a listed former church at 1 Nile Grove, just off the neighbourhood’s main shopping street. The building dates from 1887, giving this branch a characterful setting for relaxed lunches, family meals, evening pizza and children’s pizza making parties.
The restaurant specialises in hand stretched Italian style pizza, from classic bases to the larger, thinner and crisper Romana format. Familiar combinations such as Margherita and American Hot sit alongside seasonal recipes, with toppings and base choices allowing diners to tailor a pizza to their preferences.
Dough Balls are a signature way to begin, while salads, sides and lighter options make it possible to build a meal beyond pizza. Vegetarian and vegan choices are clearly represented, and children have a dedicated menu designed around smaller portions and a simple multi course format.
Desserts, soft drinks, wine and other drinks complete the dine in experience, while collection and delivery are also available from this branch. Guests with allergies should use the current PizzaExpress allergen information and speak with the team because recipes and seasonal dishes can change.
Address: 1 Nile Grove, Hermitage Terrace, Morningside, Edinburgh EH10 4RE, Scotland
