Matto Pizza — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Let's start off with the only negative thing about this place: the music was a bit too loud. But other than that, the ambiance was very welcoming. After we were sat, we immediately received a bottle of complementary water. We ordered our food (Top pizza: Pizza 1 with extra Pepperoni; Bottom Pizza: Pizza 10) and we waited around 7-10 minutes before it came out. The presentation was beautiful, but the flavour really brought it home for us. Perfectly sweet and salty tomato sauce and a light, yet crispy dough. It was very exciting to see that they had vegan (lactose free) mozzarella, which you can ask for instead of the regular mozzarella for free. I, personally, had the pizza on the bottom. The chili honey was no joke. The sweetness was very subtle, but you could really tell it apart from the rest of the ingredients. And don't be fooled by the first bite - that honey is ACTUALLY spicy. By the time I was done eating, i could really feel the spice. I was positively surprised by the spice level, as most chili oils at Pizza places don't really do it for me. Sadly we were too full for desert. We ended up paying 23£ (without the tip). I can surely say that for this price - quality ratio we definitely plan to come back and I highly recommend checking...

Great Neapolitan Pizza! The server was super friendly and accommodating.

I am not a huge lover of pizza nor the authentic style pizza but this place was great. The flavour combinations were very intriguing. I ordered the no.13 from the menu. The sausage was so flavourful to the point it surprised me, pleasantly. It was my first time having the veg “Friarielli” and It had quite a strong earthy flavour to it. I think owing to the veg the pizza tasted a little like Brococoli and Stilton soup? The balance of flavours was however very pleasant. This pizza place is definitely worth a try! My friend ordered the no.10 pizza and the chilli honey jam was excellent, it complemented the pizza so well. It wasn’t too sweet and was slightly tangy. I’m like recommend trying that sauce, even as an extra topping.

We ended up ordering dips to accompany the bread crusts. Personally the crust was too smoky for me and I needed a dip to help me through. Despiste that, the crust was soft on the inside. The blue cheese dip was phenomenal and wasn’t too overpowering, it was also slightly sweet hitch was pleasant. The nduja aioli had a little spicy kick and it was enjoyable too!

I would definitely...

Maybe too much hype around this place ruined it a bit, but to me it was far from 5 stars and I tend to be generous with these reviews. The pepperoni pizza was too sweet because of the chilli honey, I do like sweet and sour combinations but this was too much unfortunately. The aubergine and artichoke one was delicious.

I also ordered a bolognese arancini(no photo sorry), I wasn’t impressed by it - it was a bit dry, small and again the combination was not great for me.

I decided it could’ve been my poor order choice so gave them a chance and ordered the tiramisu and that was a bit of disappointment as well. It was very sweet, almost it felt that there is chocolate inside.

In terms of service, the staff was great, but it was little things like having water for the table and getting it refilled.

It is hard to say if I will come back, while the aubergine pizza was good, nothing else lived up to the hype. I think if I fancy a pizza, I will probably try...
