Edinburgh Named Paradise For Pizza Lovers

Published 25th Aug 2015

Edinburgh is being named a hotspot for top notch pizza with restaurants selling the Italian dish coming second only to London in reviews on a travel website.

The Scottish capital is among the big cheeses of doughy goodness with TripAdvisor naming the highest rated pizzeria in Edinburgh as Origano on Leith Walk.

The eatery enjoys an average 4.5 out of 5 'bubble-rating' from 372 reviews.

This makes it the third best pizzeria in the UK - Da Mario in Bournemouth came first, followed by Trattoria Il Forno in Horsforth, West Yorkshire.

TripAdvisor works out the ranking based on three factors; the quality of reviews, the quantity of pizza restaurants and reviews, and the ratio of pizza restaurants and reviews compared to all restaurants in the city.

The top ten cities for pizza in the UK are: London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Belfast, Bournemouth, Manchester, Brighton, Oxford, Newcastle and Newquay.
