Iconic Edinburgh pizza restaurant to offer kids £1 slices amid cost of living crisis

An iconic Edinburgh pizza restaurant is offering school kids £1 pizza slices during the school term.

Civerinos, the New York-inspired pizza Edinburgh chain, are offering children their wood-fired pizzas for just £1, with the offer available from their locations on both Portobello Promenade and Forest Road..

This offer has actually been ongoing in their Portobello promenade branch (Porty Slice) since they opened a year ago and was originally available to families in the know.

However, as the cost of living crisis continues to put a strain on families, they are extending their offer to their Forrest Road location to make sure that school children can access restaurant-quality food for cheap.

The offer is available Monday -Thursday between 3pm and 4pm and on Fridays between 12pm and 1pm.

Civerinos CEO Michele Civeria said: “Over the seven years we’ve been in business, Civs has done a lot of work with local primary schools and secondary schools - after being approached by many of the local schools to help with feeding disadvantaged families, we became aware of the socio-economic problems facing a lot of those who live around us, now more than ever.

“We’ve consistently worked with our local communities to do different bits and pieces to keep kids fed and give them something to look forward to and be a part of - we can’t run venues that allow some to have and some to have not.

“Now, after school, for a certain period, everyone has access to affordable food - no one goes without.”
