A GLASGOW pizza restaurant has been named one of the best in the world by food experts.
Civerinos – based in Finnieston – ranked 13th on Time Out Magazine's list of the 19 best pizzas worldwide.
Civerinos' New Haven style pizza – topped with Italian sausage, double marinara, burrata, pepperoni, rosemary, black pepper, parsley and garlic oil – was singled out from the menu.
Civerinos took to Instagram to celebrate the "incredible" honour.
They wrote: "The world? This is incredible….. "Agree or disagree, before you tell us who you think is better or who you think is more deserving….. please remember, this is about 200 legends across Scotland getting their flowers today, and we couldn’t be prouder of them all. "Civerinos is all about its people and this one is for them. “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
In another post, they added: "Lucky 13 - What a wild few days… full of gratitude and grated mozzarella.
Speaking on Civerinos, Time Out said: "Scotland probably isn’t the first place that springs to mind when you think about pizza, but hear me out.
"With its chewy crusts, coal-fired bases, sweet-but-tangy marinara sauce and carefully curated toppings, I’d argue this New Haven-style pizza joint is up there with some of the best slices you’ll ever shove down your gob.
"Civerinos now has four Edinburgh spots and one in Glasgow, so take your pick.
"It's latest branch in Stockbridge is all red-and-white-checked table cloths and vintage, American diner decor, giving it a proper old school feel.
"One of the best things about this place is you can buy by the slice to takeaway at a really reasonable price tag – and trust me, the slices are a meal – or opt for a twenty-inch to share. Lush."
