- DDebbieEdinburgh/Midlothian •3 reviews4.0Dined on Apr 22, 2025It is is for fast, good service & the food is tasty, but I have been there twice in the last month and both times my friends have been disappointed with the temperature of the pizza. I understand the pizza this time has its topping added just before it is served, but if the base & tomato sauce were piping it would make for a better experience. Tables very close together.More infoPizza PostoPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Edinburgh•4.6
