Pierinos, The Shore
10 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/Edinburgh12 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Pierinos, with two commenters singling out the chips and a commenter picking the potato fritters. Another diner says the pizzas are superb, and one diner who has eaten there repeatedly says the food has consistently been cooked well. Two commenters point to the Shore branch, and one notes it sits a bit outside the city centre. Two commenters warn, though: one says added delivery fees made the total pricey, and another has stopped ordering, saying the fish supper is worse than a rival chippy's.
