Pizza · Edinburgh
Sourdough pizza at pocket-money prices is the draw here — the dough comes out light and blistered, toppings taste fresh, and a plain margherita is the sort of thing children demolish before you've finished admiring it. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a buggy in, plus vegan options if someone in your party needs them, and for a city-centre lunch in Edinburgh the bill stays gentle. Be straight with yourself about timing, though: it's busy, and families arriving unbooked at peak hours have been told the wait is long with little warmth about it. Service swings — some visits bring a genuinely welcoming greeting and menu help, others feel rushed. Worth checking your bill before you leave. Go early, go hungry, and it's a cheap, fast, satisfying stop.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
