About Pizza Geeks

Pizza Geeks is a pizza restaurant on Easter Rd in Edinburgh, built around a wood-fired oven visible from the counter. Pizzas take names like the Mario, White Walker, Dragon Ballz and Pineapple Express, and dough balls come with a choice of filling, including goats cheese and haggis. Gluten-free bases are available, and mac and cheese bites round out the starters. A drinks list runs from margaritas to beer. Alongside the dining room sits an arcade and gaming room, with arcade machines, board games and a projector running cartoons and movies. Dogs are welcome inside. Collection orders can be placed through an in-house app, which also runs a loyalty scheme for repeat customers.

Customer Review Summary

Pizza is the clear draw, with the Dragon Balls dough balls singled out repeatedly alongside dishes like the White Walker, Mario pizza, and Pineapple Express, plus recurring praise for the Mac and cheese bites. Reviewers describe the dough as crispy and charred, though one diner felt the cheese tasted store bought and that dried herbs overpowered an otherwise good tomato base. Several mention the wood fired oven, arcade games, and a friendly, informal staff who go out of their way for visitors, including performers during the Fringe. One reviewer reports repeated mix ups with collection orders, once receiving a different pizza than ordered and another time waiting an hour, though staff replaced the food and offered free drinks; the loyalty app was also flagged as not recognising past orders. Separately, one reviewer describes being refused alcohol service because they were dining with children, while other tables with children were served drinks, leaving them feeling discriminated against. Most return for the pizza, drinks, and games room atmosphere despite these occasional order and service concerns.

    “Tonight I went to Pizza Geeks on Easter Road with my wife and daughter for pizza and drinks. We were meeting a group of friends — five other mums and four more children, all around five years old. We were the last to arrive, and when we got there, the other adults at the table were already having drinks. I went to the bar to order a beer for myself and a drink for my wife, but we were refused alcohol. When I asked why, I was told that because we were with children, we were not allowed to drink. I was honestly shocked and confused. Everyone else at our table, who were also there with children, was already drinking. Neither my wife nor I had consumed any alcohol before arriving, and we certainly did nothing to justify being refused service. The whole situation made us feel extremely uncomfortable and, frankly, discriminated against simply because we were accompanied by our children. We were left with the impression that perhaps families with children were not welcome in the restaurant. If Pizza Geeks does not want families with children drinking alcohol on the premises, then this should be made clear to customers before they enter. What a disappointing experience. We came to enjoy a pizza and spend time with friends and our children, and instead we left feeling unwelcome and embarrassed.”

    “Love the food from Pizza geeks especially the gf options (although cross contamination could be ab issue for celiacs). But they have seriously messed up the last couple of orders we have made for collection. One o phoned in as I didn’t see the gf options on the app. They next time I used the app, but not only was it an hour for collection, they gave us - different pizza then we ordered. They have been quick to offer to replace the pizza and on the first occasion also gave us free drinks. But the extra wait the second time meant someone in the group had to wait for their food. Also the app doesn’t recognise previous orders in its loyalty scheme ☹️. Love to support a local business, but you need to up your game guys!”

    “This place is wonderful. The pizzas are outstanding, the goats cheese and haggis dough balls were incredible - you can choose your filling, that's what I chose! The drinks were delicious, we had margaritas! I was here for a week doing a show as part of the Edinburgh Fringe and Callie, best employee ever, was so kind. She went above and beyond to ensure that every performer felt supported at the venue, even offering further support to ensure better audiences and a personalised experience. I really cannot thank Callie enough for the attention to detail and the warmth she gave myself and visiting friends/audience. It certainly is a special place, with pizza that is top of its game and lots of friendly welcomes. If this is what Edinburgh is about, I can't wait to come back and visit Pizza Geeks again!”

    “A gaming. anime and manga themed bar/resturant, with 1980s decor. The staff are informal and friendly and the food is exceptionally good. The pizzas are delicious, made fresh and are cooked in a traditional wood fired pizza oven. Great starters (too stuffed for dessert) and a good selection of beers and cocktails. I can't fault it.”

    “Place made for gamers definitely :3 But even if u don’t play games you can enter as they don’t check 😁 . Staff members are super nice 👌 Pizza is amazing, like a heaven - and I known thing or two about pizza. Pie is made out of good flour, smooth cheese and good quantity of ingredients. It’s my second time in Edinburgh and second visit at this place - definitely not last! Prices are decent too. Recommend 10/10”
