Pazzo

Pazzo on Kilmarnock Road arrived in Shawlands with a pedigree attached: it comes from the team behind Black Dove, with award-winning chef Chris Rouse involved in the opening. The kitchen produces Italian-style pizza and pasta with a clear focus on dough quality and authentic sauce preparation — one reviewer described it as the best pizza in a very long time, and another praised the sauce as being proper Italian pizzeria style. Itison has featured pizza or pasta for two with Prosecco and a bottle of wine, suggesting a restaurant comfortable promoting its food to the South Side's deal-seeking dining crowd. The Kilmarnock Road position places Pazzo at the heart of Shawlands' independent restaurant quarter, close to Cathay Cuisine and within easy walking distance of the broader Pollokshaws Road dining strip. Reservations available through the restaurant directly.
