Verona

Verona is a pizza and fried chicken takeaway on Cadzow Place in Abbeyhill, the compact residential neighbourhood tucked between Easter Road, London Road and Holyrood Park. The kitchen describes itself as a family-run operation using Italian ingredients, with pizzas made fresh to order. The menu extends to fried chicken, mozzarella sticks and sides. Cadzow Place sits at the core of the Abbeyhill colony — a cluster of worker's cottages built in the 1860s that remain one of Edinburgh's better-preserved Victorian artisan streets — and the takeaway serves local residents as well as the Easter Road and Meadowbank catchments. Reviews on Google average 4.4 and note the freshness of the dough and the generous portions. Online ordering is available through their own site.
