The Jolly - Edinburgh

Best authentic pizza in edinburgh. if they are looking for the best pizza outside italian – they avoid the “pizza house” chains (the jamies ersatz italian and the inflated egos and the consuming feeling of the service in the small Italian delicacies, the lothian road and hannover street are popping up (think about Macho-Italian versions of missrsham without the spirit) there is also a large selection of pizza alternatives: pasta etc. but as a veggie I tend to keep with what the jolly made famous. if they want a real bargain and must seriously fill with the day they can be a three cure lunch for £6.10 (rather choice including pizza, which must be the best worth in the city. a decent bottle of wine is about £15 – the house red/white served in carafes is considerably cheaper, what if it is not fussy, is okay. I trust no one who is sneaky over the jolly – and these people exist. okay, okay, the place is big, bright, busy, filled with kitsch, and may always seem so slightly chaotic – not fooling, the place runs like a well-oiled machine. but that’s why it’s so authentic italian – there are couples who sit next to big parties “in for the Playhouse”, local individual guides “in for their tea”, enthusiastic tourists and the occasional inebriated local politicians (it’s beguished that alex salmond gets his pizzas delivered from here, but I have actually not seen “the pie man” sitting on the space! a traitor in the jolly?

The best Italian in the city. splendid £5.70 set menu offers 25 different cursor choices. the wee is good, easy to understand, largely Italian and the ala-carte is appropriate. everyone seems to know the jolly, although I renew to dinburgh I have eaten there haklf a dozen times, wood fired pizza is great.

The personal was really friendly. to have half pizza and pasta is something I always wanted to try and not disappointed! the pizza was beautifully cooked and tasted amazing. the pasta was beautiful, but there was a tiny bit too much sauce for my lust. still worthy of 5 stars! the prices were very reasonable apartment for the busy city street. highly recommended.

Beautiful and old fashion / classic style, efficient service, very cheap lunch.

Easily the best and most authentic Pizza In Edinburgh. Along with some of the best service and a great welcoming family feel. Cant go wrong with the jolly I would highly recommend.
