Quick info
About Mr Woodfire
Mr Woodfire is a pizza restaurant on Merchant St in Edinburgh, cooking its pies in a wood-fired oven that gives the crust a smoky taste. The business started as a van-based operation, trading as Mr Woodfire and Little Woodfire, before it grew into the current sit-down restaurant. Alongside the pizza menu, the counter also serves espresso. The room opens daily and runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. That van-to-restaurant path shapes a menu still built around the wood-fired oven at its center, rather than a wider kitchen setup added later. Diners can drop in any day of the week and order at the counter, with coffee available to round out a meal alongside the pizza itself.

“Had a really lovely experience at Mr Wood Fire Restaurant. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and cooked really well. The wood-fired dishes had a great smoky taste, and everything was served nicely and with good attention to detail. The staff were friendly and welcoming(bravo to Danilo👏very attentive), and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. You can tell the chefs put care into what they make . Would definitely recommend giving Mr Wood Fire Restaurant a try — I’ll happily be coming back again!”

“🤤 🍕 👌🏼 We've been excited about this place opening up for weeks! We finally got to give it a go. It did not disappoint. To start with, the place looks fantastic. And if you've ever had pizza from Little Woodfire (the van-based predecessor to this fully fledged restaurant) then you'll already know that the pizza is the best in Edinburgh. The overall "vibe" is really fun and staff are super friendly. Thanks! We shall be back very soon!”

“Great pizza! So incredibly tasty, the right amount of seasoning, the perfect texture base both fluffy and chewy and a hint of smoke from the fire oven - amazing! The service was also good. Also the olives were good quality and the espresso was top-notch Italian. You can tell the attention to detail that has gone into the place. We were visiting from out of town and were happy to catch the opening of this restaurant. One improvement would be the wobbly table, but that should be easy for the restaurant to fix.”
