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.

This is a lovely little restaurant with a good quality, all vegan menu and nice staff. However, when we visited there were shortages on quite a few things including most of the dessert menu. I can understand there are problems with a lot of supplies at the moment but the food was enjoyable so not being able to have one of their desserts was a disappointment.

We've been coming to Nova for years but since leaving Edinburgh it makes the trips here even more amazing. I love that they're 100% vegan. There's so much choice and honestly it's the closest to proper Italian I've had outside of Italy itself. On the pricey side but for a treat, it's entirely worth it.

It's hard to believe that this wonderful Italian menu is entirely, as in 100%, Vegan. I had the spaghetti carbonara - it was delicious. My husband and son both had pizza - equally delicious. For dessert we had tiramisu x 1, chocolate cake and vegan ice cream x 2. Excellent. Book online and prepare to be flexible as the restaurant is very small and popular. You won't regret it.

Understand everyone has bad days but the service was extremely poor. Could audibly hear the waiter huffing before attending any table. The main meal was ready before we were even served our drinks. That’s not to say the food wasn’t delicious. It’s a shame cause the time before the service and food was brilliant.

My wife’s vegan rigatoni was the best she has ever eaten…she says. Small friendly restaurant with an extensive vegan menu. Ingredients evidently very high quality and taste just like the ‘real’ thing. Excellent experience.

The most memorable meal in Edinburgh- delicious, hospitable, and with a menu that combines classic and adventurous flavours. I wish I could go back! I think non-vegans alike would love this authentic restaurant. LOVE that it is 100% vegan. Our table had pastas, a pizza, and 2 desserts and they were all divine.

Lovely little place with very few tables, great atmosphere, very quick service, amazing variety of dishes and food was fantastic. A bit expensive by usual quaint Italian standards but can appreciate the vegan produce may be the main reason for that. Would thoroughly recommend!
