Paesano Pizza

Paesano Pizza is the most raved about pizza in Glasgow, so on a wet Sunday we paid the Great Western Road restaurant a visit.

Is it the best pizza in town?  Probably, yes.  There's a lot of talk about using the best, freshest ingredients and you can taste that the base is amazing and the toppings are tasty.  The pizzas cost between £5-£8 and there is a choice of nine plus specials.  You can also specify any changes.  There are also some sides and a choice of soft-serve ice-cream or the tart of the day and that's the whole menu.  Spotted the omission?  There's no kids menu.  We were told they would do a kids size of anything on the menu.  Here is Angus's cheese and tomato.  It's slightly smaller than a regular and I'm not sure what they charged us for it (no more than £5 anyway, which is what the full size costs).

The staff were some of the most welcoming we've come across.  The stereotypical "Italians are nuts about children" thing really came across even though it was all Glasgow students working there.

At the end of the day, I felt the pizza and service was better than Pizza Express, which is our usual go to for pizza all round.  We haven't tried the restaurant in Miller Street yet but we definitely intend to.   Watch this space!  Very, very delicious.

There are steps up to the entrance, which we managed with the pram between the two of us.  However, there is a step-free side entrance, which we left by.

I think there was a baby change on the same level as the restaurant (we didn't need to use it) but all the toilets were down lots of stairs.  There is metered parking nearby and the restaurant is close to Kelvinbridge Subway station.   They don't take reservations but we arrived early and were easily accommodated.
