A popular pizzeria has opened the doors to its new Edinburgh venue offering 'New York style slices'.
Sear's Pizza, located at 27A Marchmont Road, opened in Glasgow's West End last September and has had queues outside its door ever since.
Promising to serve up authentic, no-frills NYC-style pizza by the slice, Sear's Pizza is inspired by the institutional slice-spots of New York City.
The Edinburgh branch offers six pizza options, with slices starting from just £2 each and will offer the same pizza menu as Glasgow but with added extras such as buffalo ranch tenders and truffle parmesan fries.
The interior, curated by owner Paul Beveridge, is reminiscent of an 80s/90s New York pizza joint with exposed brick, wood panelled walls, an 80's style menu board, self-serve soda fountain and NYC imagery.

Glasgow cafe wants to rival Starbucks to do this amazing thing
Craig Johnson, founder of Launch Foods, joked he would like to open beside 'every Starbucks in the city and give them a doing' as he revealed the news. The former banker and restaurateur admitted feeling ambivalent about his charity's landmark achievement. Craig Johnson (Image: Newsquest) 'We're chasing down one million free meals, which one side of me thinks is great,' he said. 'The other, the proud Scot in me, thinks it's atrocious because it shouldn't be happening. 'We need to do more, though, because that allows me to fund the charity and its activities feeding kids. I would dearly love to sit alongside every Starbucks in the city and give them a doing, in the nicest possible way.' Speaking on the Murphy Wealth Human First podcast, Craig added: 'There are other ways we can feed even more children, with the right support. I don't view Launch as a success story – nowhere near it. 'We're still in challenging times, but the challenges are part of the journey.' Launch food truck (Image: Newsquest) Craig, who owned the Merchant City's popular Loop restaurant, began Launch Foods in 2018, visiting Glasgow schools in an American-style Airstream Rocket caravan. 'I happened to be watching the news one evening, and they were talking about food surplus, which is madness – tonnes of food being disposed of, inefficiencies in the food sector,' he said. 'I'm getting a bit grumpy, so I turned the channel only to hear about food scarcity, showing images of Glasgow. 'I thought they'd got the wrong video, until they explained that one in four kids in the city are living in poverty and in certain parts it's one in two.' Craig Johnson (Image: Newsquest) He added: 'Given what I'd watched a couple of minutes beforehand, I thought, how can I connect these things? But doing it in a way that avoids stigma? 'And that's how Launch came about.' Big food and drink companies donate surplus products, which are then used to produce nutritious meals and snacks at the charity's base in Anniesland Business Park. 'I promote it to the kids that they are helping us with the environment, and we feed every child at the end of the school day to avoid any stigma,' added Craig. The first Launch Coffee café opened on Bothwell Street in 2022, helping to provide a regular income stream to fund an after-school meal for every pupil at six Glasgow primaries. Earlier this year, the charity secured a property on Cresswell Street – just off Byres Road – to open its second Launch Coffee, and talks are also underway on a third location. With the extra sales, Launch Foods now hopes to exceed the one-million-free-meals milestone in the next few weeks. Craig is one of a series of prominent Scottish businesspeople interviewed by Murphy Wealth CEO Adrian Murphy for Human First. Previous guests include Scotland and Glasgow Warriors international turned entrepreneur Adam Ashe, Sub Club founder Mike Grieve, and former Dyson and Volvo Cars CEO Jim Rowan.
