La Favorita Home

Why we are different:

At La Favorita you will not find any Deep pan, stuffed crusts, stodgy bases or gimmicky toppings: we only make and reproduce Italian pizza, thin, crispy, and flavoursome.

La Favorita was opened in April 2005 by Tony Crolla, who has been in the restaurant business all his life, his idea started simply in wanting somewhere in Edinburgh to go for an authentic Italian pizza.

Essentially what you require for the tastiest pizza is a log burning oven, Tony knew of one place that had such an oven, the Caprice in Leith walk that had been open for over 20 years, in going there Tony discovered a decent pizza but no real flavour of Italy, what happened next was simple: Tony made the owner of the Caprice an offer he couldn't refuse and set about planning his perfect pizzeria.

A lot of vision, time, and effort went into opening La Favorita, as soon as the doors opened it established itelse as the place for pizza not only in Edinburgh but Scotland, and then the UK, that's official as La Favorita has twice won the Pizza and Pasta associations Pizza restaurant of the year.

What makes our pizza better?

We have built our reputation on consistently making better pizzas, we believe you need to start with the best ingredients, so we have sourced the best flour for pizza, the finest San Marzano tomatoes from the Campania region in southern Italy, fior di latte mozzarella which comes from Calabria twice per week and fresh herbs and vegetables delivered daily, our hams and sausages come from the best family owned producer in northern Italy and our seafood delivered from the local markets daily.

Our fully trained pizza chefs then go about creating the most authentic Italian pizzas in our log burning ovens, it is these ovens which make all the difference because of the wood we use and the temperature of the oven which gas or electric ovens cannot recreate, the smokey aroma and taste of a real Italian pizza. Go on, try for yourself and taste an authentic Italian pizza as its meant to be!
