Been here a couple of times while visiting friends in Edinburgh and I will insist we go back again! I’m veggie and some of my friends are vegan and no one is ever disappointed by the food. It’s a tiny restaurant though so book a table to avoid disappointment!
Best vegan Italian food I have tried. In fact, some of the best Italian food I have had. Nice little hideaway, offering fantastic food with very friendly service. Tried the spaghetti bolognese and vegan pizza, both were great. It was a little chilly, as they only had a small space heater going, but it was a nice break from the horrendous weather outside. We didn't leave without trying the vegan coconut cheesecake, topped off with a well measured chocolate drizzle, and I would recommend you do the same, because it was one of the best vegan desserts I have ever had. Still thinking about it, my mouth waters.
A surprising revelation for teenage kids who are fed up with other veggie options! The one man owner has put his heart and soul into this new establishment. You can even watch him work alone in the kitchen. Yes, you may need to wait a wee while but his menu will satisfy most pizzeria palates. Now the 2015 Festival has finished, we sincerely hope he succeeds through the winter. Do go, you wont be disappointed!
Some places radiate disaster as soon as you cross the threshold. Such was the case with Cafe Cornucopia, which took over when Appetite Direct closed their shop on Howe Street to focus squarely on their catering business (although saying that, they’ve just taken over the cafe at the Festival Theatre). I was unsurprised to see Cornucopia quickly closed, to bereplaced by an interesting looking Italian called Nova Pizza – Vegetarian Kitchen. I popped in to check it out.
Delicious Italian food - fully vegan but even meat eaters would love it. Delicious flavours and the homemade 'bacon' was amazing! A great range on the menu for food and wine too.
Took myself for a date and I cannot say enough. This was damn delicious I wish we had one at home, although then I would spend all of my money there so maybe for the best. The antipasti was incredible, the focaccia crispy and fluffy, the pizza, divine. I also have enough leftovers for 2 days.
The BEST vegan pizza I've had in 12 years as a vegan! I'm not kidding here folks. The crust was thin but the pizza was loaded with toppings. I had a pizza bianca, Cacciatora. (Again, the best!) My husband had the Meat Feast. He really enjoyed it but I think he liked mine more.
We also had the gnocchi pesto di rucola e pomodori confit. They were light and fluffy with a great sauce and the walnuts gave a nice contrast and crunch.
For dessert, I had the affogato which was simple but fantastic! My husband has the tiramisu, it was fluffy and rich without being too sweet.
Now. The employees...they were delightful, kind and jokey. They made us feel comfortable and welcome. They also knew the menu like the back of their hands. I appreciate that kind of attention when dining at a one of a kind restaurant.
When I'm back in Edinburgh, I'm definitely going there again. Wow!
Reservation recommended. Had a lovely dinner here. The owner and her partner moved from Italy and started this restaurant and having been to Italy last year, it felt very authentic! Had delicious cheese foccacia bread, Lasagna, and a carbonara pasta and my non vegan partner loved it as well!
I was amazed by food! I eat gluten free and they have such great options. The portion sizes are large and we were quite full when we left. We definitely could have split a pizza. Really wish this was in my hometown so I could go more than just this once on my vacation.

Novapizza Vegan Kitchen, you are a dream come true! 🌟 Since embracing the vegan lifestyle, I've been on the hunt for that perfect spot, and my search happily came to an end in Edinburgh. This, my friends, was the birthday gift I didn't know I needed.
Walking into Novapizza felt like stepping into an Italian paradise. The cozy size lends itself to the most intimate dinner experience, and the Italian-inspired decor added an authentic touch that truly warmed my heart. 🇮🇹❤️
Now, let's talk about the food – prepare for a taste sensation beyond words! 🍽️ Ordering the calzone was a genius move on my part – it was both scrumptiously large and incredibly delicious. I must confess, I may have over-indulged in the delectable bread they bring to the table, leaving me wonderfully satisfied but not quite hungry enough to conquer the whole calzone. Thankfully, leftovers meant I got to experience its magic all over again the next day, after a quick warm-up in the oven. Mind-blowing!
My husband opted for the pizza and the lasagna, and it was a slice of heaven in every bite, just like my calzone. 🍕😋
For anyone on the lookout for exceptional vegan Italian fare, Novapizza is an absolute must-visit. The flavors, the ambiance, and the heartwarming experience make it a culinary gem that's not to be missed.
My BEST meal in Edinburgh. That vegan carbonara pasta..... It was incredible. You really taste the fattiness specific to pork, but cruelty-free.
We had a burrata as an entrée and it was excellent.
The Novapizza pasta with a rich garlicky tomato sauce and stracciatella was also great.
The Crema Catalana was refreshing.
Unfortunately I don't leave in Edinburgh, this would be my go-to place anytime.
This is slightly on the pricier side but worth it if you want a treat (and multiple courses!). We had the carbonara and a calzone followed by tiramisu which was amazing. Would definitely come back if in Edinburgh again.
A quaint, homely, friendly yet professional Italian restaurant with a twist: everything is vegan! My partner and I are both vegan; it was weird and liberating to have a COMPLETE Italian menu to choose from (rather than scouring the menu for 2-3 “ve” items). The food is as high-quality as restaurant food comes, vegan or otherwise. Better than any other Italian restaurant I have been to!
what an amazing dinner, so freaking good, loved the food, staff really nice and beautiful small place. absolutely recommended for best food animal abuse free (vegan). reservation is also recommended.
