Pizza Geeks - Leith

Excellent Neapolitan-style pizza done with their own unique toppings, often with a Scottish twist. It's small inside but staff were very accommodating with us despite arriving on a busy Saturday night. The dough was excellent - light and fluffy but with suitable crispy blisters on the edge. I had the 'Millennium Chicken' which had a pleasing amount of tasty pulled chicken, tangy peppers and sweet red onions - I ate the lot. I like how Pizza Geeks offer a regular or large size as not many pizzerias do this. My partner had the 'Johnny Blaze' which she very much enjoyed. I like that staff not only communicated there may be a slight wait for food due to how busy it was and endeavoured to ensure this delay was kept to a minimum. They were all very hardworking and clearly good under pressure. Another plus point is you can buy a pizza for a person in need. Worth noting the comprehensive range of excellent Pilot beers.

Pizza Geeks has some of the best pizza in town at a reasonable price. They have great veggie options and GF pizza when requested. Their pizza toppings are unique enough that you won't find similar anywhere else. My go-to pizza is The Wildling or The Shire. I also recommend the Super Saiyan Dragonballz, which are basically cooked dough balls with your choice of filling and dip. Amazing! Atmosphere is really fun, with lots of nerd references scattered throughout. They have a Pacman table arcade machine, which I haven't seen since I was a kid. Unfortunately, I've never seen it working, otherwise they would get bonus points. My only complaint is frequently the restaurant will not do pick-up or delivery on short notice. A bit less frequent, but sometimes they will shut down on short notice too. I'm sure this is because of staffing issues, but it has happened enough that it is noteworthy. They have also been very busy lately, so they tend to forget parts of your order or your order entirely. Staff are always very friendly, though. If you're up in The Shore, and especially if you're a nerd, you owe it to yourself to stop here.
