La Favorita Restaurant, nestled in the bustling Leith Walk, is known to many locals as the best pizzeria in Edinburgh. With its bright, fuss-free dining room, friendly Italian staff and award-winning pizzas, it's easy to see why. The restaurant is family-friendly, with a resident balloon-bending clown on hand at weekends, and birthday cakes at the ready. Favourites from the wood-fired ovens include the Fiorentina pizza with spinach and egg, the Viennese pizza with pork sausage and sliced potatoes and the folded calzones with spicy salami. The ice cream stand is well-stocked whatever the season, and La Favorita's famous tiramisu, big enough to share, is not to be missed.
