Specialist pizza magazine PMG reported the fact that one of the UK’s leading Italian restaurants has cooked up a storm by becoming the first pizzeria in Scotland to receive a prestigious One Star AA Rosette.

The award to La Favorita, based in Edinburgh’s Leith Walk and famed for having a traditional log-fired oven, comes after it scooped the title of Pizza Restaurant of the Year in the PAPA (Pizza Pasta and Italian Food Association) Awards.

Owner Tony Crolla told PMG the AA award was well deserved and praised his team for their dedication and devotion to quality.

He said: “‘I’ve always believed that being a pizzeria does not mean people should in some way expect basic food.”

La Favorita turned to the Holyrood PR, PR in Scotland, to publicise their exciting win.
