Welcome to Novapizza Vegan Kitchen. Our cuisine is extremely creative and delicious. We create every vegan pizza from scratch and using only fresh dough made in the restaurant. We experiment with flavours and preparation methods to make each dish taste perfect.

We work with 100% Organic and Fair Trade suppliers to make a difference in the world. Personally, we believe that vegan food should be at the best standard of the food industry.

Unfortunately we can not cater to groups containing children under the age of 5 due to licensing restrictions. Though our sister restaurant Sora Lella, can accommodate.

The food at Novapizza Vegan Kitchen was outstanding. the carbonara was the best I’ve ever had, so delicious. The restaurant is so calm and has a lovely ambiance with nice music playing. The decor is really cute too! Our waiter was fantastic! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. 10/10 an amazing restaurant and I will be coming again.

Really lovely place, nice atmosphere and brilliant service. Food was a little bland for the price of it; bruschetta (both the creamy sauce with mushrooms and the tomato topped one) minimal seasoning / garlic or any real depth of flavour to either starter. The bread wasn't toasted very well and actually appeared more like plain bread, usually bruschetta comes with toasted bread. So was a bit confused by that. The olives were really good! Main courses were all okay. My mum got the Melazane would looked lovely. I wish I had got that instead of the carbonara. Dessert was nice enough. Minimal choice of soft drinks (no ginger beer /elderflower / or any fresh juices). Nice evening overall but all a bit surprised at the lack of real flavour in most of the dishes. Maybe the pizzas and salads would have been better options! I think I would try those next time.

We loved the food here. Be aware it is 'cosy' (had to squeeze out of table past our neighbours to get to loo!) but it wasn't too bad & never got really noisy - for us on a Sunday evening anyway. Service was very good by the young man serving but there was a mistake on the bill but it got rectified very quickly with an apology. It's pretty fair value for money really given the current climate and what's going on in the world. So much choice here including desserts. Not a massive selection of drinks but, enough. I didn't see any rose wine from memory at least not by the glass but there was red & white. If I were in Edinburgh again I would definitely book again. Actually on that note I would recommend booking, it was busy and some people had to be turned away. Definitely recommend and food was delicious which is what really matters!

The food was quite unlike anything I’ve had before - absolutely delicious! Service was a little on the slow side but looked like the waiter was working solo, so understandable. Double took to make sure it was vegan because my gosh that was so good.

Lovely restaurant, the service was very good and we felt looked after and welcomed. The vibe of the restaurant was very cute, quiet and intimate. The food was very good, both for vegans and non vegans, an entire vegan menu but cooked with everyone in mind. We had the Gnocci and the Bolegnese and would recommend them both, although every meal we saw on other tables looked just as fantastic! Would recommend and visit again!

We had the carbanara and pepperoni pizza It was lovely probably the best carbanara I've ever had and loved that everything in the restaurant was vegan aswell! The only issue we had was that the restaurant did get quite busy and with only two servers we waited about 35 minutes to pay the bill.

The food was incredible! My partner and I had the carbonara pizze bianche, tagliatelle ai funghi porcini, tiramisu, and lemon cheesecake and it's genuinely some of the best vegan food we've ever tasted. We visited Rome a couple of years ago and this was honestly better than anything we are there. The service was also excellent. All round a 10/10 experience. Just sad we're not local and can't visit more often!

What a find. Both my husband and I are vegetarian not vegan but loved the varied and fairly extensive menu. Service and food wonderful. We both particularly enjoyed the Verdura sharing platter. Have had sharing platters in other places but not a patch on this one. Portions good. Would highly recommend but advise booking as restaurant small and would not want you to miss out!

We visited for my wife’s Christmas present. Really inventive food that just tasted great. Doesn’t make a big deal out of being vegan, just serves really tasty food in a small restaurant with a real neighbourhood feel. Great to see lots of delivery orders going out the door too. Would highly recommend!
