Pizza · Glasgow
A cheap, cheerful pizza stop in the Merchant City that copes well with a pram and a couple of hungry kids — the room is genuinely spacious rather than the usual cramped Glasgow squeeze, so you're not shuffling chairs to get in. Bases come out light with a crisp crust, the toppings list is long enough to please fussy eaters, and the fries are crunchy and properly seasoned. The lunch deal is the real find: decent-sized pizzas around a fiver. Vegan options are good, there's a kids' menu and high chairs, and staff are friendly. Two honest snags — drinks can take an age to appear even when food arrives quickly, and it's busiest on Saturday afternoons. Food usually beats the drinks queue, which is the right way round with children. One parent calls it "a pleasant surprise".
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.
Cheerful, boisterous city-centre pub with a huge heated beer garden, brilliant burgers and vast fries — quietest on a weekday lunchtime.
Tiny, warm Middle Eastern spot where £11 buys a whole charcoal chicken and rice — limited seating, so go off-peak with a pram.
Step-free buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu in a lively Glasgow room, with vegan and gluten-free options too.
