Pizzeria 1926 is an Italian restaurant at 85 Dalry Road in Edinburgh. It has served Neapolitan style pizza in the city since 2016, building its menu around the traditional foundations of water, flour, salt and yeast. The restaurant welcomes both table bookings and takeaway orders, with service running through lunch and dinner seven days a week.
Pizza is the centre of the menu, with dough and careful baking supporting combinations drawn from Naples and the wider Campania region. Choices range from simple tomato, garlic and oregano to pizzas topped with fior di latte, smoked provola, burrata, spicy nduja, sausage or friarielli. Vegetarian combinations are clearly represented, and guests can add selected vegetable, meat and cheese toppings.
The meal can begin with bruschetta, focaccia, caprese, fried mozzarella sandwiches or salads. Pasta and baked dishes add alternatives to pizza, including lasagne and filled or sauced pasta that changes with the restaurant’s current selection. Tiramisu, gelato, affogato and sugar coated doughnuts continue the familiar Italian theme at dessert. Diners should tell staff about allergies or dietary requirements before ordering.
The room is casual and energetic, making Pizzeria 1926 suitable for a quick pizza, a family meal or a longer evening with several courses. Its identity comes from keeping the focus firmly on Neapolitan pizza making while still offering enough starters, pasta and desserts for a complete restaurant visit. Collection and takeaway service also give local diners a convenient alternative to eating in.
