Mamma’s American Pizza Company has been going strong in the Grassmarket for nearly three decades. It’s a laid-back place that packs out quickly, especially on sunny days when the Grassmarket is heaving and the outside seating looks especially inviting. All the pizzas are freshly made and, as well as standard toppings such as mushroom and ham, customers can choose from exotics such as banana, haggis and cactus. Pizza is the point here but if that don’t float your boat then try the steak and Cajun salmon served on a hot stone.
