Palmyra Pizza

Palmyra Pizza has been operating on Nicolson Street for well over fifteen years and has earned a devoted following among Edinburgh students and late-night diners as one of the street's most reliable halal takeaways. All meat is halal and the shop is alcohol-free. The menu covers kebabs, wraps, pizzas, burgers and salads — the chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel wrap are consistently the most reviewed items, drawing praise from across the UK. Prices are deliberately student-friendly, with a 10% student discount and a basic Margherita pizza at a price point that keeps the queues moving on Friday and Saturday nights. The shop opens every evening for a long service, with Friday and Saturday running well into the early hours. Nicolson Street is the heart of Edinburgh's student eating strip, connecting South Bridge to the University's residential clusters, and Palmyra draws a loyal regular crowd from across the postcode.
