Civerinos Finnieston — Restaurant in Scotland

Edit: Unfortunately had a really bad experience, 3rd time we’ve visited Civerinos since my first review and we were really looking forward to the USUALLY mouthwatering pizza & ordered a side of fries - Placed an order at 19:15-ish and was told that it would be ready by 20:03 - walked in to the restaurant and seen 2 large pizza boxes sitting in a bag to keep them warm, still standing there at 20 past 8 I finally see one of the boys stick some chips in the fryer. Server comes over and apologised for the wait, gives me the pizzas that have been sitting for I’m not sure how long by now, and I leave. Absolutely fine, things happen and people run behind. Drove 45 minutes home, opened my pizza and when I say it was black, I mean BLACK. I’m fine with people running behind, but the whole time I was waiting the chef making the pizzas must have screamed “WOOOO!” maybe 8 or 9 times trying to act funny to the ladies that were serving (who were lovely I might add btw) I would suggest if he spent less time acting like Rick flair and more time concentrating on the pizzas, I wouldn’t have wasted the money and time making my way through . An absolute shame as it was quickly becoming my favourite pizza spot but the chef completely ruined the experience, we wont be back unfortunately - I’d still recommend the other locations! Just definitely not Finnieston

3/5 because of the first couple of times and the girls serving being really nice. I’m just not wasting hard earned cash again for chefs that can’t...

Really glad to see more pizza spots in Glasgow, especially ones with good options and sides and dips etc.

I’m chalking most of this up to being busy and stretched on their first weekend but our experience was average to not so great.

Waited 30 minutes for a table which was all good, the greeter was lovely, got seated and didn’t get menus for about 15 minutes.

We ordered and most of the pizza options we wanted were sold out. Then they became available to the table next to us about 10 minutes later, I guess you just have to get your timing right to get what you want.

When we did get our food we got a side first after about 15 minutes, my partners pizza arrived about 15 minutes later thereafter, then mine another 15-20 after that. The wait for food felt long and it seemed like the staff and kitchen were struggling.

When it was all finally on the table, the margarita pizza I ordered was fairly uninspiring, it was soft, floppy and pretty bland in taste, I’d ordered it to come with Parmesan on top but they forgot. The pepperoni slice I got was pretty good and I’d probably go for that next time if going for a whole pizza.

Once we’d finished the bill came to over £60 with tip.

I definitely feel this place has promise with some tweaks and refinement, I’m keen to see how it progresses and think it can be a really cool spot, but in all honesty I won’t be...

Visited the Glasgow branch with my wife yesterday evening around 8.30pm. The place was more or less empty but tables were still dirty, was told to come back after 20 minutes so they could clean a table waitress was just rude I think she thought we would just leave and say we didn’t want the table.

Upon ordering was told that the Detroit slice wasn’t available, on a Friday evening I was just very surprised. We went for the New Yorker style 14 inch pepperoni pizza and the gnocchi as a side.. Gnocchi was ok nothing special could have done with some seasoning, in my opinion far too big a portion looked like a sharing platter so some weren’t crispy as described. The pizza itself was ok nothing special. Definitely not like the pizza you get in New York. And the sauce was overly sweet. In a whole don’t think I’d be back food and restaurant where just average at best and the toilet facilities were dirty and graffiti all over. Also to note I ordered a bottle of water and was told they didn’t have any. The first restaurant I have ever been to that had no bottles of water
