What is it?
Paesano is a Glasgow institution for lovers of proper pizza. Located on Miller Street, this buzzing pizzeria specialises in authentic Napoletana pizza, the kind with charred, chewy crusts, simple toppings and soul-satisfying flavour.
Where is it?
In the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City, just a short stroll from Native Glasgow.
What you’ll find
The menu is concise and confident, around ten core pizzas, with weekly specials keeping things fresh. Dough is made on-site, left to proof slowly, then fired in wood-burning ovens imported from Naples. Every pizza that comes out is blistered, bubbling and irresistibly fragrant.
Standouts include the buffalo mozzarella with DOP San Marzano sugo, Grana Padano, and a drizzle of olive oil. But really, anything you order will be the kind of pizza that makes you close your eyes after the first bite.
Expect a lively, informal vibe and a no-nonsense, quality-first approach. It’s one of those rare spots where the hype is justified.
One-liner
The benchmark for authentic pizza in Glasgow.
Native’s tip
Order the No. 4 with buffalo mozzarella and don’t forget the chilli oil on the side it’s a game-changer.
