La Favorita Delivered Leith in Edinburgh

Oh how the mighty have fallen - placed an order 17:45 on a Thursday night with La Favorita through UberEats. After 1.5hr wait for a 10” pizza I called and was told my order was on the way. After 2hr wait I called again and the story had changed “there has been a mix-up and the order is being remade and delivered”. No apology or explanation. 5yrs ago I wouldn’t have ordered pizza from anywhere else, these days it’s anywhere but La Favorita.

19/03As the first review says when hot it’s the best pizza in town but it’s now just cold on delivery, then to get a refund it’s several phone calls whilst waiting on the cold food to be collected.OldIs the best pizza in town ... when it’s hot. The number of times I order and it’s barley warm is very surprising when everything from the group is normally perfect.

I can't fault La Favorita, their pizzas are the best I've ever had, outisde of Italy. The smokey wood fired taste, the base, touch of oregano, the quality of ingredients are genuinely mouth-watering.Having had quite a few deliveries, I find collection is the best method. I have noted that they have reheating instructions on the box now. I do pop it in the oven for 2 or 3 mins on a pizza stone after collecting it, unless it was fresh out of the oven. To be completely honest, I would eat it cold for breakfast too. It's a shame they no longer sell the chicken broccolli pasta and I don't find their arancini that good. The last few times, they have been overcooked and far too expensive for what you get. The calamari has been excellent on occasion, on others, not the best. I find their pizzas are mostly consistently excellent. Having tried many others in the area, there is no competition. Apart from their garlic bread, I have found somewhere that I prefer but the pizzas.....faultless.

Excellent customer service and food! I completely made a mistake when I ordered for delivery, my fault entirely and despite this, my pizza was replaced. They completely went above and beyond. Thank you so much.

Considering the situation of these days, the collection has been easy. They have been very kind and accurate.The pizza and the "glorious"calzone are excellent as usual. Fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked.

The worst pizza I've had since....the last time I had La Favorita delivered 2 years ago, apparently I had to remind myself why I don't order delivery from here. I struggle to reconcile how one restaurant group can summarily have my favoritate Italian restuarant (Vittoria's) and the worst pizza delivery service in Edinburgh. The food was quoted as arriving in 60 minutes....it took an hour and a half and when it arrived the food was either cold or lukewarm; no one else in Edinburgh has ever delivered my pizza this cold. Asked for pre-sliced pizza and it was not, which is minor but shows that they are clearly just skimming the orders not actually reading them. No notificaiton that our order was going to be late or an apology; ordered on a Tuesday evening as well so not even a traditionally busy night where you would expect delays.Don't waste your money.

Ordered 2 pizzas, 2 calamari spending the best part of £40. It's my 10 year old son's birthday and two and half hours later still no food. It's now past their bedtime and whwn the food eventually arrived it was awful. Stone cold pizza and inedible calamari. Having phoned numerous times I've still yet to hear anything back. Hugely disappointed seeing as my son is really upset and it's too late to do anything food wise to make up for it. Been going here for years and I'm italian myself and even know many of the staff so this review isn't something I'm happy to have to do but am really not happy at all.

ordered two pizzas and 2 hours later still waiting for them( although estimated delivery time was 35min). Called the shop and were told it will be another 40 min due to them being busy. What'd the point of ordering takeway when you have to wait 3h for it???

Fresh ingredients all cooked to order and one of the best calzones I've eaten in quite some time! Food was still hot when it was delivered.

The food is good but not exceptional. Unfortunately closing Blackhall has had a negative impact on the delivery times and quality.
