La Favorita Restaurant

La Favorita is a modern pizzeria, with black-topped tables and whitewashed walls. In recent years, owner Tony Crolla has expanded his brand to include a takeaway fleet of Mini Coopers and a mobile van, complete with a log-fired pizza oven. Yet it is the original restaurant on Leith Walk that continues to offer what is surely Edinburgh's best pizza, with their thin crispy bases and superb quality ingredients. That said, overlooking La Favorita's pasta and regularly changing specials would be unfair; their saltimbocca is superb.

• 325-331 Leith Walk, 0131-554 2430 (restaurant), 0131 555 5564 (takeaway), la-favorita.com. Restaurant and takeaway open noon-11pm every day, pizza from £10
