Open from 9am, with complimentary filter coffee and wifi, the breakfast menu also features their exclusive breakfast pizzas.

Starting from £5, the Civerinos Slice specials come with both vegetarian and vegan options, as well as the Works, a pizza which includes black pudding, BBQ sauce and baked beans and is described as "perfect for starting your day off in style".

The laid-back eatery officially opened in April and is part of the Civerinos chain - already well-known across the city for their New York style wood-fired pizzas and modern Italian street food, which has two already established city centre locations - ‘Civerinos’ at Hunter Square on The Royal Mile and ‘Civerinos Slice’ at Forrest Road.

Owner and executive director, Michele Civiera stated that their breakfast offering will be available every day until noon: "It is the new evolution of the neighbourhood pub. This new incantation takes it from the traditional boozer to a space that is open all day providing healthy fresh breakfasts and smoothie bowls.

"The Civerinos pizza dough butty came about when we wanted to add to that healthy vibe a traditional staple. We had no rolls to hand so we got our pizza dough and formed the perfect breakfast pizza dough butty. The rest is Edinburgh folklore."
