amazing! - Edit
I came here on the recommendation of a friend who said it was amazing, and they were not wrong! I got the vegan lasagne, which was absolutely incredible, tasted so authentic, very very similar to a real meaty lasagne! My partner got a pizza, which he said was also amazing, so they had two very happy customers in us!

Absolutely love the vegan pizza in here, recommend the vegan bolognese pizza - it's amazing. Brilliant choice for vegans for all courses. It is a little pricey so unfortunately I have to limit my visits for special occasions but what a treat it is!
Pros: Best vegan cheese I've had, Amazing coice
Cons: A little pricey, Limited seating, need to book

Proper Pizza, Veggie Style - Edit
Cosy little place with a proper Italian restaurant feel, excellent pizza, and about 50% of their menu is vegan (and it's a big menu). Staff are lovely too. Make sure you book as the place really is tiny!
Pros: Fully veggie, vegan options for nearly everything, Tasty pizza in generous portions
Cons: Small - need to book

Incredible Italian - Edit
If you love Italian food this is the place to go. I thought i had said goodbye to my all time favourite dish “4 cheese gnocchi” forever when I became vegan but these guys made it happen and nailed it. Absolutely recommend this place, the meals are amazing and the restaurant is cozy. Friendly staff.

even better than expected! - Edit
Massive vegan menu, so many different pizzas (all of which can be made into calzones), pasta dishes, plus desserts and starters! We had the pepperoni and vegan cheese calzone, and the vegan salmon(!) creamy penne pasta. Wonderful food. Plus a lovely ambience and friendly staff, and very fair prices. We had the crème brulé which we weren't so fond of, so we'd try vegan cheesecake or dessert pizza next time!
Plus free WiFi

Nice food, slow service - Edit
We had two create your own vegan pizzas which were lovely. A good size for the price and had a lot of toppings. However service was very slow and we never got our drinks we ordered, so a good place if you have lots of time. There was not a particularly great choice of vegan desserts, but lots of pizza and pastas to choose from with vegan meat, cheese and cream options.

Amazing vegan food - Edit
Novapizza is a small but cute and cosy restaurant in Edinburgh. The menu has an extremely wide choice of vegan options, I litterally would have tried everything if I could. The vegan 4-cheese and mushroom pizza was mind-blowing, outstanding... so so delicious! Same can be said of the peanut butter and jelly and the chocolate cheescakes. Book in advance cause it is quite small but super busy.

Worth getting round too - Edit
I'd been meaning to come to this place for a while but it's fairly busy so whenever I'd popped in it had been a struggle to get a table. It's small and busy but does tasty pizza. Has a large vegan selection and I found it difficult to choose. A friend and I shared two pizzas and they were both very tasty. I'd go back if I was in that area and in need of a pizza feast.
.
Pros: Large selection of vegan pizzas
Cons: Quite busy and probably needs booking

Yummy pizza - Edit
Very extensive vegan menu. Not used to having so much choice! We had a lunch on a Sunday. Service was friendly and speedy. And the pizza was soooo good. Could have happily ordered several menu items. I had a pepperoni pizza and it was great. Thin crust and the cheese was very flavoursome! Would definitely recommend a visit.
Pros: Good value, Huge choice, Really good pizza!

Hands down the best pizza! - Edit
Wow what a great find! This intimate little pizza place is not small on amazing flavor! We ordered the vegan pizza with seitan (probably the best vegan pizza I have ever had) the salmon gnocchi and the bruschetta with salami. Everything was out of this world. It was so fun to find some unique items on the menu like vegan salmon. It took us a long time to decide because there are SO MANY options. The service was impeccable!! If you are in Edinbrugh, this is a must stop!

Huge vegan menu, tasty - Edit
Wow, huge range of vegan options! I got the four cheese bruschetta and the pepperoni pizza (delivered). They were both really delicious.
I did have to go to hospital at 3am but that's not their fault, it's my fault for disregarding my doctor's advice and eating fatty foods while I had gallstones haha. But it was so good I still ate the leftovers the next day.
Pros: Yummy, Huge vegan menu, Delivery
Cons: Maybe a bit expensive

the place that everyone wants as their local - Edit
It's like a proper Italian local trattoria but all veggie and vegan. Huge menu and you will be spoilt for choice with the usual pizza v pasta dilemma. Several pages dedicated to vegan options. It isn't a huge place so I recommend you book. Takeaway also an option. Very efficient and pleasant staff and you could glimpse how hard the kitchen were working. I had two different vegan pasta dishes that were great with some nice red wine and garlic bread and the pizzas looks great too. Lovely vegan coffee cheesecake. If you visit Edinburgh you must come and support this attractive little restaurant in the new town with cobbled streets out front.

AMAZING - Edit
My boyfriend and I went for dinner - we each had a vegan calzone, the size of a mountain and they were absolutely amazing (the vegan calzone and the spicy one, we can't remember the name). We also had the oreo cheescake for desert and it was honestly mindblowing. Would 200% recommend for vegans (and veggies) as there is SO MUCH CHOICE. Will definitely be visiting back soon!!!!
Pros: Heaps of vegan options, Traditional Italian food, Absolutely delicious
Cons: Small restaurant - would recommend booking!

quality food - Edit
based in stockbridge just a short distance from town. Novopizza is a friendly welcoming eatery offer a total vegetarian menu, with a double page vegan menu.
a good choice of starters, i have the bruschetta which was really good offering a good slice of bread, covered in vine tomato gently cooked in olive oil and balsamic, not oily at all.
there are plenty of main options and i went for the vegan pepperoni which was was on a thin base and well cooked, the vegan cheese was a much stronger flavour the mozzarella and was bubbling over the pepperoni and tomato base. my friend had the veggie calzone which was huge and came with a small side salad.
visited again recently and upped to 5 coos. it's not about the veggie food, its also about the ingredients. he only uses organic flour in his pizza and when we spoke about this he said i have a five year old, i want her to eat good food. Owners who believe in what they are doing not just out to make money from a growth in vegan food.
the one think i wouls like to add is that it does great pasta. nearly everyone i know gets pizza and has never tried the pasta, give it a go it's great.
Still awesome
Pros: location, organic produce, staff

Wirklich gute vegane Pizza - Edit
Kleiner gemütlicher Italiener in recht zentraler Lage (Reservierung empfohlen, v.a. abends). Sehr leckere vegane Pizza, vegetarische Variante auch sehr gut. Gutes Kindermenü, Ausmalbild und Stifte, absolut familientauglich. Nette Weine, schöne Dessertauswahl.

Located in Queen street it is easy to access from the town centre and deserves its fine reputation.

Amazing italian food with a vegan twist - Edit
I only stumbled upon this restaurant by chance but was so happy to have found it. It is a very small restaurant with about 6 tables (if I remember correctly) so booking ahead is recommended if wanting to dine-in. They offer a big vegan menu that doesn´t only include vegan pizza but also great pasta dishes, lasagnas as well as a great selection of vegan desserts. It was VERY difficult for me to choose amongst all the great things on the menu. I ended up choosing the vegan lasagna and had a great vegan oreo cheesecake for dessert. Everything as absolutely amazing and I am hoping to go back to Edinburgh again soon to eat my way through the rest of the menu. Would highly recommend
Pros: Big vegan menu, both mains and desserts, affordable, friendly staff
Cons: not a very big place, so reservations recommended
