What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ We’re very satisfied with our experience at Wood Fire Edinburgh. The pizza called Diavola was absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu was amazing as well, everything was incredibly flavourful. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One of the best pizzas we’ve ever tried. Highly recommended! ”
“ My husband and I are so glad we tried this pizza place in front of our hotel! It was our first time in Edinburgh and it was also our first time trying a neopolitan pizza (as we are used to getting the fast food pizza) and oh my god. Our jaw dropped at the first bite. Nothing really compares to an authentic italian pizza. We are definitely coming back to this city and coming back for the pizza and maybe try the calzone next. We highly recommend this place!! ”
“ What an incredible journey - from the first bite to the last!! Spotted Mr Wood Fire accidentally while on our way to the hotel, looked extremely tempting and thought why not? You really made our trip to Edinburgh memorable and I constantly find myself telling people that I had the best pizza of my life here. If I’m ever fortunate enough to make a trip to Edinburgh again, I’m coming straight here!! Skilful charming chefs, 12/10 highly recommend. ”
“ So good I went twice. The first time was a quiet afternoon, and I got to chat at length with the owner, who was a really nice guy and clearly passionate about pizza, which I also make as a hobby. I had the Zucca Piccante, a seasonal pizza with pumpkin cream, ’nduja, and sausage, and it was fantastic. The dough texture was spot on, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that went into it. I came back the next evening when they were packed, and the diavola was just as incredible. This is truly excellent pizza. I hope to visit the full shop someday because pizza of this quality absolutely deserves one. Highly recommend. ”
“ Incredible pizza tuck in the corner. Although it looks like a food truck pizza, but they are very serious with their pizza. They have real wood fire oven. Very friendly and great pizza. Recommended pizza place if you stay around novotel which is just 1 min walk from the hotel. ”
