Namm namm namm!! - Edit
Great service, cozy place and pizzas with a homemade touch. You can get vegan versions of all the classic pizzas such as pepperoni or ham and cheese. If you're in a mood for lasagna they also have that. I really recommend trying they're delicious homemade food :)

Believe the hype! - Edit
Was super excited to try Nova pizza after hearing so many people rave about this place online and how good their cheese was. Huge selection of vegan dishes which I'm not use to and made it so hard to choose! I went for their vegan pizza which the most vegetables as possible and it was great! Cheese was delicious -was only my second time trying vegan cheese as
Read moreI'm so wary of it but it was really nice. Service was quick considering how busy it was and the pizza was so filling the staff kindly put some in a takeaway box for me to have later!

Incredible authentic Italian vegan-style - Edit
An incredibly rare example of an independent authentic restaurant offering an entire vegan menu with loads of choice of pizzas, pastas, calzones, and even alcohol (finding vegan red wine whilst dining out is just magical). I cannot recommend this place enough. You know it's good when you eat there two nights in a row.

Excellent - Edit
This was a great place for keeping both the veggies and vegans happy, with a wide range of options for both, and helpful and friendly staff who were willing to accommodate an annoyingly large range of random dietary questions from our group. Highly recommended.
Read moreOne minor gripe: they did claim it was fully wheelchair accessible, but there is in fact a single step up to the entrance. This led to the (amusing to the other patrons) sight of three grown men trying to heave an incredibly heavy electric wheelchair a few inches over said step. We managed it, but it might be something to keep in mind...

Amazing - Edit
Absolutely loved this place. Great variety of foods with pastas, pizzas and calzones. It's been a long time since I had a pepperoni pizza so it was amazing to finally try one again. We had the bruchetta to start which was really tasty and split a pizza. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly and it's close to the city centre. This will definitely become a regular for us!

Wonderful little pizza place - Edit
Very vegan friendly. There was a separate vegan menu listed at the back of the menu and there was just so much choice! I had the cheese and mushroom bruschetta for starter which was just so delicious and then me and my friend had a pizza each and shared half and half so we could try more of the flavours. Words can not describe how good these pizzas tasted, I normally eat 'healthy' vegan foods so I've never had vegan pizza or tried vegan cheese or imitation meats so I can't make any comparisons but this was just soo good. Had the chocolate cake for dessert and that was also heavenly. The service was also superb. A definite recommend. At first it seemed pricey but when you take into account the service, atmosphere, taste, choice and the fact this is the only place I've actually left feeling full since going vegan it was definitely worth it.
Read morePros: great service, relaxing atmosphere, great tasting food
Cons: not the healthiest ;)

Best vegan Pizza ever - Loved this place - Edit
Hands down, this was the best vegan pizza I ever had. I took the vegan rustico pizza with vegan mayo and cheese on it and it was delicious! My partner who is not vegan had a vegetarian pizza and also loved it.
Read moreThe restaurant is small but cozy and the staff was very nice. Since we went on a Monday afternoon we had lots of space but I could imagine it gets crowded there on evenings so I'd book a table in advance.
If you find yourself in Edinburgh, go here! Its only a short walk from the town center.
Pros: Best Vegan Pizza, Nice cozy atmosphere, Nice Staff

Great vegan pizza! - Edit
It is a LOVELY little place, with great staff, food and smells!
Read moreI enjoyed the zuchinna which had courgettes and vegan mozzarella. For dessert they do slices of pizza topped with vegan chocolate and icing sugar, so good!
It only has five tables, so booking is a must.
NovaPizza is great for visiting vegetarians and vegans who want somewhere that will please their whole family!
Pros: Amazing vegan and vegetarian food., Friendly staff, Good value.
Cons: Slow service

Excellent Vegan Pizza - Edit
My girlfriend and I visited NovaPizza a few days ago on the back of a number of positive reviews we had seen on the internet. Being a pizza fiend in my pre-vegan days and having had limited vegan eating options in Edinburgh for the last few years it seemed a little too good to be true to have a vegan pizza place so soon after Henderson’s Bistro made the switch to 100% vegan, so I didn’t get my hopes up too high prior to our visit.
Read moreThe restaurant is small and seems to be very popular, so booking is advised. At times the staff did seem to be struggling to cope with the number of people and service was quite slow, but they were also very friendly and polite and apologized for the wait, so it wasn’t an issue. Décor is fairly uninspiring – perhaps more to be done on this in future.
There is a vegan menu (always appreciated!) with a number of pastas and huge range of pizzas – we ordered a courgette pizza and a ham calzone. I tried both and loved both – especially the bases which are among the best I’ve had, vegan or otherwise. We finished with the pizza dolce, a very thin pizza base with chocolate and icing sugar on top and enjoyed every bite.
It’s understandable that people will take so many positive reviews with a pinch of salt as it’s easy to get excited at the mere promise of authentic vegan pizza given the scarcity of pizza options when eating out, but having been underwhelmed before (mainly with La Favorita’s delivery pizza) I can honestly say these deserve all the praise they are getting.

Great pizza. - Edit
Good selection of vegan pizzas here, and the one I tried was really great. One of the best vegan pizza I've ever eaten.
Read moreThe staff was friendly, but could pay the customers a bit more attention, so it had been possible to order more to drink example.

Fabulous vegan pizza - Edit
I came here earlier this week on a recommendation of a friend and was very impressed. It's always a good sign when they have a separate vegan menu, which in this case offered a wide range of pizza and pasta dishes, including vegan cheese and meats. I had a 4 Stagioni pizza which was very good! The atmosphere is quite a casual cafe experience which makes a nice contrast to the fancier vegan and vegetarian restaurants about. Highly recommended.
