Scottish pizza chain Civerinos named among 'best in the world' by Time Out

A Scottish pizza chain has said it is “full of gratitude and grated mozzarella” after being named among the top pizzas in the world.

Civerinos, which has pizzerias and slice bars across Edinburgh and Glasgow, was named in Time Out Magazine’s 19 Best Pizzas in the World.

Slinging pies in different styles from crispy New Haven and New York slices to Detroit deep dish, the Scots pizzeria chain was named alongside classic pizza sites in Rome, New York and Naples.

Civerinos came out top for its New Haven style, specifically topped with Italian sausage, double marinara sauce, burrata, pepperoni, rosemary, black pepper, parsley and garlic oil.

Time Out said: “Scotland probably isn’t the first place that springs to mind when you think about pizza, but hear me out: with its chewy crusts, coal-fired bases, sweet-but-tangy marinara sauce and carefully curated toppings, I’d argue this New Haven-style pizza joint is up there with some of the best slices you’ll ever shove down your gob.”

Civerinos posted on Instagram: “Lucky 13 – What a wild few days… full of gratitude & grated mozzarella.

“Thank you to @timeoutlondon for giving us our flowers. So proud to make your list.”

Civerinos added that its “incredible team” work “hard as f**k” to make pizza dreams come true across Scotland.

The chain added: “Forever Grateful.”
