Best pizza in Glasgow!!!!! Me and my boyfriend went on a Monday night, place was very busy, the pizza's are massive and not very expensive about £8, love how the menu is simple so the pizza is of a high standard, will 100% return to this place. read more

great pizza!! really worth trying. We had a pizza with capers, anchovies, olives, mozzarella and garlic and a pizza with mushrooms, spinach, mozzarella, ricotta, oregano and garlic which were both fantastic. we also ordered balsamic onions (loved them!) and a side salad which were great company to the hearty pizzas. 4 out of 8 pizzas are vegetarian friendly, so that's also a big pro! One is with fish (anchovies) and three with meat. The place is huge and they don't take reservations but we only waited 5-10 minutes to be seated, the service was good, all in all, very good experience! read more

Went in here as a party of 5 and was seated very quickly at one of their central *family style* tables. The urban/unfinished look of the décor was fitting with the theme of rustic Italian pizza. The menu is only pizza, with a few sides like salad and olives etc. The pizza comes out looking great but the crust comes out soggy because of the amount of sauce used on the base. I don't mind this but others in our party were not so impressed. The special that evening was Porchetta (a quick Google amongst our party found that this was *a savoury, fatty, and moist boneless pork roast*) which was picked by three of us, a vegetarian pizza with chillies and olives and a prosciutto pizza rounding out the party of 5. Not the best pizza we have ever had any of us, but also not the worst the location is a little hard to find and the decor is in keeping with the theme. A definite 3 stars meal and experience. read more

Took the family to Paesano on a Sunday recently. The kids love Italian food and a friend had recommended it. This place makes VERY good pizza. As a student of pizza making myself, the basic pizza (dough, ragu and mozzarella) are of the highest quality and it shows. There will be no leaving of crusts with these pizzas because they taste so damn good. The service was very good - we had an attentive waiter who helped the kids with the menu. The mostly ice cream based desserts were surprisingly good. Posh Mr Whippy soft ice cream lots of ways. Excellent. One criticism was that there was a little too much liquid on top of my olive, artichoke and anchovy pizza. This is always a problem when you use fresh mozzarella and high temperature ovens that cook so quickly. Solution? Who knows. I reduce the moisture in my mozzarella by sandwiching it in kitchen towel sheets for a while. Pizza making is a fiercely contested subject however, so I expect Paesano would defend their tried and tested methods to the hilt. Who can blame them, their pizzas are up there with the best. read more

Sorry. Mostly hype + decent Neapolitan pizza in a noisy space with staff who clearly would rather be somewhere else.

The pizza and food were great, but really, really loud. Impossible to make conversation with your party. (To be fair I did go on a Saturday night and it was packed!) read more

Probably the finest pizza I have had in 49 years on this planet. Phenomenal value for money. I recommend booking if you plan to dine later than 6pm, however. read more

Paesano Pizza - Best. Pizza. Ever. - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Delicious Italian style pizzas with very reasonable prices. Great atmosphere as well. My husband and I were out shopping and wanted to try something a bit different, not just another McDonalds for a quick bite at lunch time. We were next to Paesano's and decided to check out the menu. Looked interesting and the prices were within our budget. Very friendly staff and the food came out quickly. Only negative would be their limited selection of toppings. There were about ten pizza choices but you could add to for a small extra price. read more

We've been to Paesano twice now. I love the open, airy feeling of the restaurant. Most importantly, the pizza here is top notch. They do one thing, and they do it very well. The crust is flavorful, the tomato sugo has just enough sweetness, and the toppings are fresh and flavourful. I always get the sausage pizza, eat half, and enjoy the rest warmed up in the oven the next day. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Decided to head to Paesano following their (joint) 1st place placing the the Yelp Glasgow pizza battle. We went during a fairly quiet Sunday lunch period - so service was very fast, flawless. We had a spicy salami and one of the specials of the day which featured ham and truffle oil. There is nothing to say about the pizza except that it was brilliant. read more

Attentive and friendly staff, great atmosphere (we were sat right at the back which meant we could sit and watch the chefs making the pizzas!) and most importantly, delicious pizza which is unlike any others I've had in the city. Looking forward to going back! read more

Paesano Pizza - Salami / mushroom and spinach - Pizza Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

After having read wonders about pizza at Paesano's I was curious to try it out and see for myself if it actually deserves all the fame that it's getting lately and - OMG - it really does!! I can honestly say that after giving the first bite I recognised the real Italian taste that I've been missing and I've been looking for in a pizza here in Glasgow. This is THE pizza and it goes without saying that me and my beau became regular customers. First off, the service is very good and quick, without being rushed. All the staff is friendly; I don't quite like the idea of the table sharing but luckily we were accomodated there only the very first time as from our second visit onwards we kind of have our usual table. On to the pizzas, as many people have stated the crust is just right both in the consistency and the flavour. I have tried quite a few different pizze now - spianata calabrese, tuscan flennel sausage, ham and mushroom, tomato and cheese, and one of the specialities with nduja - and they are ALL d e l i c i o u s!! The good thing of Paesano is also that you can add some extra toppings that you find listed either on the menu or on the specialities board - mozzarella di bufala and scamorza are among my favourites - so you can customize your own pizza. The key to this place is simplicity and quality that I've been happy to witness that it doesn't decrease even when the place is busy - try a Friday during this Christmas period!! As far as the drinks are concerned, they have a short list of fizzy drinks, beers and wines. I've tried heir house red, which is quite good, and syrah which is even better. Take a look also at their sweet dishes listed on the specialities board, we tried the chocolate sponge cake, polenta cake al limone and polenta cake with lime and raspberry; they come all with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and are very rich in taste. This place deserves even more than five stars, it is a real gem in the city centre and I've already recommended it to many of my work colleagues! read more

The service was really quick, though we got there right before peak hour. The pizza was good, not my favourite but a solid pie. Pretty decent prices, very hip place. read more

After not having even heard of this place till yesterday, I've now been here twice within 24 hours! So either the pizza here is awesome or a sign of my laziness...It's actually both; as you can see from the 5 stars and due to the fact I'm also wearing the same clothes as yesterday (clean socks and pants of course...I'm not a total crud). My Italian amici had raved about this place and its easy to see why. The pizza is delicious with a thin base and thick tasty crusts with just a few quality "simple" toppings. Pizza hut this is not. The fact that the pizza dough is so tasty, makes even something as basic as a margarita something truly special. Both times, for dinner and lunch, the pizza was quick to the table and the staff friendly and accommodating. I do feel for the Soho pizzeria next door, as although I'm sure they do good pizza as well, I cant see myself trying it out as long as this place is delivering pizza of this quality... read more

So we just happened to be in the vicinity of Paesano on Saturday while enjoying a catch-up over a beer or two, so it would have been wrong to not drop by for a fuel-stop surely? On entering I was impressed by the large, spacious, airy, buzzing atmosphere. An awesome, bold light installation along the main wall proudly shouting the restaurant's name, but not literally... Initially seated near the door, we asked to move as it was a wee bit chilly, this was no problem. Drinks orders were quickly taken and delivered. There's around 8 standard pizzas on the menu with 3 or so on the specials board. I opted for mushrooms with ham and tomato. The food arrived seriously quickly - like in under five minutes. Literally straight out of the traditional ovens to our table. Needless to say the pizzas were awesome. Paesano use a hybrid traditional/sourdough dough which is delicious. Really light crusts and ultra thin bases. At around £6-£8 per pizza it's really good value. Two pizzas, olives and two beers came to around £30. read more

A wee meet up with my Neice & Great Neice as they were visiting Glasgow to spend Christmas money. I chose Paesano for lunch as we all love Pizza and they are super fast at serving. My Daughter and I arrived first and both ordered a schooner of Birra Morretti. When the Girls arrived the Server came to take their drinks order, we were all ready to order our food anf the girls their drinks. My Daughter and I decided to order one each of the specials and share she had Aubergine Pizza and I had Nduja & Chorizo they were both delicious and the sausage quite spicy Mmmmm. My Great Neice had a Mozzarello & Sugo and her Mum, had Fennal Sausage and a side salad as usual they were super fast and also delicious. The server forgot about the Girls drinks,but when asked was very prompt and did not charge us for them. The girls were very happy with there first visit to Paesano I am sure it will not be their last. read more

Very nice pizza all of my family LOVES it waiters are very nice and will accept any order you say , the pizza is AMAZING and the starters are equally nice read more

We certainly enjoyed this place. With 80's music playing inthe background where locals go. The pizza was wood oven baked, therefore on the doughy side but delicious. They use tomato juice instead of sauce and it is fresh. All ingredients were very fresh. They have about nine choices but you could add ingredients of your choice. If you are coming from America you will enjoy the service and the value. Desserts are really good, so leave space to try them. read more

BEST PIZZA EVER!! This place is amazing and I wish they would open one up in Birmingham. The pizzas not only looked amazing but they also tasted amazing. You could really taste every ingredient on the pizza. It is reasonably prices as well. It cost us 23 pound for two pizzas, two cokes and a side dish. If you love pizza you have to eat here! read more

Great pizza, very quick service and reasonably priced. Very similar to franca manca in London both in terms of setup, limited menu and sourdough bases read more

It doesn't get much better than this!!! The pizza was AMAZING!!! I hope they eventually bring one to Edinburgh.

Great atmosphere, great service, good ingredients, and delicious food! I've been once after hearing about it for ages, and I don't know why I waited for so long! The prosciutto pizza was so good, can't wait to go back! read more

I went for the spicy pizza and was delighted. Very good and tasty with a decent price. Definately reccomend, definately gonna go again!

I can honestly say that Paesano is the best pizza I have ever had-- and trust me I know my pizza. It was a cold and rainy day and all I wanted was a good warm pizza and I got way more than I expected. I placed an order for pickup as I didn't have enough time for eating in. It took a while for the staff to pickup the phone when I called but eventually I got someone. I ordered a Salame Pizza with extra chilies. The staff was friendly on the phone and told me it would be ready in 7 minutes! I ran to the car and rushed over there. When I walked in I was immediately impressed with the interior. It was bright and buzzing atmosphere which really made up for the dismal weather outside. They greeted me and took my payment and then handed me my pizza box. I must admit I didn't wait to return to the office to try the pizza..I took my first bite then and there! And I didn't stop- by the time I had reach the office the only thing left was an empty pizza box. The dough was cooked perfectly and had the lovely taste of sourdough. There was just the perfect balance of cheese and tomatoes. And speaking of the tomatoes-- these are on point. You always forget about the tomatoes until you have really delicious ones-- these were it. Everything was perfection. And to top it all of it was priced well. To say I am a huge fan is...well.. an understatment. read more

I consider myself a pizza expert, and this place deserves the 5 stars I gave it. Being originally from the New York area I have earned my pizza degree. Coming on a vacation to Scotland I didn't expect much in terms of pizza, but I was proven wrong but eating here. Great pizza, you can't go wrong give it a try. You will thank me read more

Per my 9 year old " best pizza ever". From me, great value, quality food, lovely staff. We'll be back!

Wow Paesano did not disappoint! After hearing many glowing reports, we decided to check this out for dinner on Friday evening. As we were already in the area at around half past 5, we decided to opt for an early dinner and headed along. The place was already buzzing and bustling by that time but we were seated immediately. Our drinks orders were taken promptly, followed by our pizza orders not long after. We chose 1 spicy salami pizza and 1 olive, anchovy and caper pizza both of which we would share between us. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the pizzas were brought over (maybe 10 minutes at most after ordering). Two huge, beautiful pizza works of art were presented before us. Taste wise I think we both preferred the anchovy, caper and olive pizza but both were delicious. The ingredients are quite obviously of such high quality which makes a real difference. Whilst others have commented that the crust was too doughy, I personally loved this. Little charred spots gave such a tasty mouthful, I was in my element. Our two large pizzas (about the same size as dominos large), 1 diet coke and 1 esrella beer came to just shy of £20 which I was impressed with, given the quality and size of the pizza. One note though, by around 6pm there were queues out the door to get in with people being told that there would be a half hour wait. I would recommend going a little bit earlier to avoid this. read more

Quick service, quality ingredients, and reasonable prices. We happened upon Paesanos and were happy with our choice. We had an anchovy pizza and a roasted red pepper pizza - both yummy! The spicy oil is some of the spiciest around, and hit the spot. The soft serve ice cream wasn't what I love, but much better than what you get at McDonald's. Highly recommended! read more

The pizza here is absolutely delicious! The dough is incredible. I got a huge olives, capers and anchovies pizza for just £7. There isn't much (anything?) on the menu if you don't want a pizza - but why would you order anything else? read more

Paesano has become a bit of a regular haunt for me since it opened. Affordably priced but far better quality than most other fast food joints, it feels like you're getting food of proper restaurant quality than a quick-bite factory. The restaurant is cavernous and has seating for a sizeable number of diners, and I've never struggled to get a table for 4 people, even at peak times. I'm a huge fan of the giant PAESANO sign made out of lightbulbs and the rustic wood finishes. The little design flourishes throughout really give it a hipster Williamsburgh vibe (even I'm cringing at typing that, but it's true!). The standard mozzarella is your best bet. I learned this the hard way, trying twice to be cool and hip by opting for the Buffalo and each time being left with a horrible sloppy mess. Third time was the charm though, and it said enough about the place and the quality of the ingredients that I wanted to give it a third go. The desserts are as pleasantly pared-down as all the menu options, with soft scoop ice cream with raspberry and chocolate sauce being a perennial favourite. One area that the menu does fall down on though is criminally not offering IRN-BRU, God's own nectar, in GLASGOW! I mean, really. It's all fine and well going against the grain and giving punters a different offering, but in a city where the neon orange libation is drank more than water, this is a misstep. Also, they could do with adding more variety to their San Pellegrino flavours. We have evolved beyond standard limonata and aranciata, people. Aranciata rossa or pompelmo are a must, though I'll forgive them if they continue to avoid stocking that vile, bitter chinotto drink. Paesano is a great addition to the Merchant City and perfect for a quick mid-shopping lunch or casual dinner with friends and infinitely nicer than Pizza Hut or Express. read more

The food is excellent - especially the ice cream! The decor is great too. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the slightly slow service but don't let that put you off an otherwise very good restaurant. read more

It's deservedly the best Pizza in Glasgow it's always consistent and never anything less than superb service excellent nice environment to eat coffee also flavorsum and rich it's usually always buzzing with people and for good reason the full 5 stars is very well deserved if you haven't been why not !! read more

Excellent pizza, service, prices. Terribly noisy, though. Acoustics are excruciating. We sat at 7:45; maybe earlier would have been quieter.

Had a great lunch here during our little weekend getaway in Glasgow. It's a big restaurant, so despite quite a lot of people there for Sunday lunch, we didn't have to wait for a table and our pizzas came out lightning fast. Service was a bit forgetful - our pizzas came out before our drinks - but it would be hard to bring anything faster than those pizzas. It looks like they've got three ovens going at once, at Neopolitan pizza is famously cooked very briefly and at a very high temperature, so you won't be waiting long. We got one of the pizzas from the specials board with speck and rocket, and another with fennel sausage - both traditional red sauce pizzas with mozzarella cheese. All the ingredients - cheese, flour, tomatoes, olive oil - are imported from Italy. The pizzas are gorgeous, and big - hard to finish for one person - and the flavors are lush. Lovely meats, the sausage had such great flavor and must be homemade. Like all pizzas of this style, they are to be eaten with knife and fork (though they provide a pizza cutter here which is great), and get very soft in the middle, so don't expect pizza you can hold in hand! It's an excellent version of Neopolitan pizza, one that you wouldn't be disappointed to have in Italy. read more

This is the tastiest pizza in Glasgow!!! I had a lovely thin vegetarian pizza dripping in melted goats cheese and decorated with dollops of spinach. I used their chilli oil for an extra kick of taste too! I have now visited this establishment twice and both times it has been packed, they staff are lovely and really accommodating and will try hard to squeeze you in where they can. I would happily dine here every day if it wasn't for the waistline!! The price is reasonable and the atmosphere is just right for a group of friends to catch up. read more

Short menu, simple decor inside and tasty inexpensive pizza-what's not to like?!

If you're looking for pizza in Glasgow, don't even bother looking anywhere else. They have an amazing selection of pizzas ranging from about £6-9 and you can get a beer and a pizza here for £10, which wins in my book. The decor is so lovely, the illuminated sign and open kitchen really makes the place. Not to mention the service is exceptionally quick, so this is a good one for a quick lunch or dinner before the theatre! Definetely becoming a regular here! read more

Great pizza. Went for a meal with a group of friends and I'll definitely be going back. The food was delicious, service speedy and a good price for both food and drinks. I'd highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I came in Glasgow last September, since then i've tried several pizzas and this is my favourite! A definite recommend to pizza lovers!
