Forever Edinburgh is teaming up with Edinburgh favourite Civerinos to fire up National Pizza Day on Monday 9 February with the launch of two bold limited-edition pizzas, created with standout local ingredients and available only across the capital for a short time.
Created to celebrate Edinburgh’s dynamic food scene and the makers behind it, the ‘Local Legends: The Scotch Capital’ pizzas bring together punchy local flavours and Civerinos’ New Haven style craft, with both a meat and a vegetarian option designed to stand out on the menu and on the plate.
As part of Forever Edinburgh’s Resident Rewards programme, residents with an EH postcode can enjoy 50 percent off the special ‘Local Legends’ pizzas when dining in on National Pizza Day meaning residents can enjoy this exclusive £15 pizza for just £7.50. The pizzas will be available until they sell out across Civerinos’ Edinburgh locations in Leith, Stockbridge, Forrest Road, Hunter Square and Lost Shore.
Alongside the National Pizza Day offer, Civerinos will also offer 20 percent off all full-sized pizzas for residents dining in from Monday to Thursday for the remainder of February, helping locals enjoy great food for less beyond the celebration.
Cllr Jane Meagher, leader of the City of Edinburgh Council, said: “Forever Edinburgh’s Resident Rewards programme has been a real success in reminding residents what’s great about their city, while delivering real benefits for communities and local businesses. It supports year-round footfall, celebrates Edinburgh’s independent sector and gives residents reasons to explore and enjoy what’s right here on their doorstep.
“This partnership with Civerinos is a great example of that in action, bringing together local producers and a well-known Edinburgh brand to create something distinctive for National Pizza Day, while rewarding local people and promoting the very best of Edinburgh’s food scene.”
The meat pizza features a marinara base topped with mozzarella from Yester Farm, scotch bonnet chillies, rosemary roasted potato, seasoned sausage meat from Campbells Prime Meat, parmesan and a finishing drizzle of whisky-infused Scottish heather honey made using Woven Whisky.
The vegetarian option showcases a sweet potato base topped with crispy kale, sea salt and truffle whipped ricotta, celebrating ingredients long associated with Scottish cooking.
Mark De’Mar, Commerical Director at Civerinos, said: “Civerinos has always been about community, from the people we work with to the ingredients we use and the neighbourhoods our restaurants sit in.
