Mary's, 68 St Mary's St, Edinburgh EH1 1SX · Pizza Takeout, Pizza restaurant · Edinburgh

Ultra-budget, takeout-focused pizza spot delivering hot, cheesy pies fast; outstanding value but variable service and occasional inconsistency.

Why this grade

Morrati delivers solid budget pizza with reliable speed and value, earning strong repeat-customer loyalty for its hot, cheesy pies at low cost. Inconsistent execution on dough quality and occasional service friction prevent a higher grade, while the bare-bones shop setting and limited seating keep it firmly in takeaway territory rather than destination appeal.

The full picture

A compact Old Town takeaway turning out hot, generously cheesy pies fast, this spot reads as a hole-in-the-wall gem for budget seekers. One diner raved, "Ready in minutes and perfect after a long day." Service ranges from warm and kind to brusque during rushes, but the value keeps people coming back. The cooking leans traditional, comfort-first pizza rather than showy technique: straightforward toppings, big flavor, and lots of cheese. The culinary approach leans classic and value-driven: simple, satisfying pies with quick turnaround, ideal for late-night hunger or hotel take-back. Families on the go will find kid-pleasers like Margherita and pepperoni, garlic breads, and even cheeseburgers. Seating is minimal, so plan for takeaway. Vegetarian choices are present, but vegan or gluten-free accommodations are limited; consider this a practical, grab-and-go option for kids who like familiar flavors.
