Matto Pizza in Edinburgh is dedicated to the craft of authentic neapolitan pizza, bringing the true taste of Naples to Scotland with passion, precision, and flair.
Founded in 2020 with its first site in Meadowbank, Matto quickly became a local favourite thanks to its commitment to traditional methods. It continues to grow across Edinburgh, with each branch offering the same authentic neapolitan experience. The dough is made fresh daily, slowly proved, and baked in a wood-fired oven at 500 degrees for less than 60 seconds. This technique creates the signature neapolitan crust - light, airy, and slightly charred - while allowing the toppings to shine.
Since then, Matto has expanded to Morningside, a 44-seater restaurant with a large outdoor terrace, and most recently to Newington, reflecting its growing popularity across the city. Each location offers a welcoming atmosphere, blending casual dining with stylish interiors that feel both modern and authentic. The spaces are designed to encourage guests to linger, whether enjoying a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a gathering with friends.
The menu celebrates the simplicity and quality of neapolitan pizza. Using imported Italian products alongside fresh local ingredients, Matto offers a range of pizzas topped with classics like mozzarella, basil, and tomato, as well as inventive monthly specials that keep the experience fresh and exciting. The focus is always on balance and flavour, with the crust as the star of the show. Every pizza reflects their passion for neapolitan tradition, combined with a commitment to sourcing the best ingredients.
Matto Pizza has carved out a strong presence in Edinburgh, admired for its wood-fired neapolitan pizzas. It is a celebration of neapolitan culture, offering Edinburgh diners a slice of Italy with every bite.
