The popular restaurant has three branches in the city - on Miller Street in the city centre, Great Western Road in the West End and the newly opened Southside spot.
The new venue is located in the former Di Maggio's restaurant on Pollokshaws Road in Shawlands.
Blue signage appeared around the unit reading "a Southside sequel" before it officially opened to food fans on May 21.
And twin brothers Kevin and Kieran D'Arcy, from Glasgow, were some of the first people to sample the new restaurant's offerings.
The siblings boast 94,000 followers on TikTok, and regularly share their top food recommendations and tips.
During their visit to the new Paesano, the duo revealed a secret tip they learned from a former staff member.
And if you're not a fan of "sloppy" pizza, you'll want to take note.
That's because you can fix it by giving a simple two-word request to your server when you order.
In their TikTok clip reviewing the restaurant, the D'Arcy twins said: "A pro tip if you don't like a sloppy pizza, ask for your pizza well fired.

"I got that pro tip from an ex-Paesano employee."
Sugo and Paesano have recently been acquired by The DRG, Scotland's largest independent restaurant group.
The firm achieved a record annual turnover last year of almost £50million.

The DRG, which is owned by Mario Gizzi and Tony Conetta, said further restaurant rollouts are expected over the next 12 months.
The group told The Herald that the recent acquisition of the two brands is its "most significant acquisition to date".
Mr Conetta said: "Within 12 months, we expect to have doubled the number of Paesano and Sugo restaurants to six.
"And we have firm aspirations to further expand north and south of the Border in the years ahead.'

I'm 6ft 2' & my man is 2ft 11' – he's always the little spoon but when it comes to sex, our height doesn't matter
A VERY tall woman with a much shorter boyfriend has shared what their life is like. Sarah Button is 6ft 2in – comparatively, her partner, Gabriel Pimentel, is just 2ft 11in. 9 9 9 He also happens to be 19 years older. But the 26-year-old, a content creator with almost 250,000 TikTok followers, says neither age nor height stands in the way of their relationship. 'I've never had many issues with dating, but always found myself dating people about an inch shorter,' Sarah told What's The Jam. 'But, I am currently dating a much shorter guy and we get fetishised a lot. 'He is 2'11 tall and 45 years old. '[These are] both the biggest gaps I have had – ever. 'Height doesn't bother me in regards to partners matching mine or [being] taller. 'But I do get bothered by the thought of people suddenly realising how 'large' I am and wanting someone smaller. 'It [our height difference] doesn't change the dynamics too much; he still drives, works and picks me up from the airport etc. 'There are just certain accommodations to make [in other areas]. Couple's Clever Hack to Mask Height Difference 'There are definitely proportional differences in the bedroom but the difference in this relationship is the amount of effort he puts in both in person. 'I wish people would understand that we're all the same size laying down and other things matter. 'And to take into account that tall bodies move differently so some movements can look a little awkward and need to be adjusted (in the gym, during sex etc). 'I hope men understand that being a little spoon at least once in your life feels great! ' I know so many short-guy-tall-girl combos that are such successful pairings Sarah Button Sarah and her beau also face another challenge – while she is based in Brisbane, Australia, he lives in Los Angeles, US. But they are both making the effort and have been together for six months so far. Before meeting Gabriel, the influencer had a certain way of dating to make sure she didn't get hurt. She said: 'Height is something I always had in my bio straight away on dating apps along with 'Probably taller than you'. 9 9 9 Celebrity couples with height differences Zendaya (5'10") and Tom Holland (5'8") Cameron Diaz (5'9") and Benji Madden (5'6") Eniko Parrish (5'7") and Kevin Hart (5'4") Gwendoline Christie (6'3") and Giles Deacon (6') Tina Fey (5'5") and Jeff Richmond (5'2") Nicole Kidman (5'11") and Keith Urban (5'10") Helen Lasichanh (5'11") and Pharrell Williams (5'9") Erin Darke (5'7") and Daniel Radcliffe (5'5") 'Also, the amount of times someone with 6'2 in their bio has been 5'10 is hilarious. 'Not that the height matters but the deception is a red flag off the bat from them!' Sarah believes more men should try dating a taller woman. She said: ' Shorter guys wanting to date a taller girl should shoot for the moon, I know so many short-guy-tall-girl combos that are such successful pairings. '[Growing up, being tall] always made me a bit self-conscious. 'I was more negatively impacted when I was younger and taller than everyone at school but eventually everyone grew so I stood out less! 'Now I walk with my head high and know that it sets me apart and I love it. 'I do worry about posture more than most people though!' 9 9 9

Chanca by Coya in Dubai
Before Chanca by COYA was Chanca by COYA, it lived many lives. First, it was the intimate dining room of COYA at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, before morphing into a private members' club where Dubai's wealthy residents enjoyed exclusive benefits, from Cuban rolls and special dishes to premium grape selection and total privacy. Today, Chanca is what COYA likes to call a dedicated music room. Offering up a daily line-up of guest and resident DJs, live events, and parties with premium bottle service and creative mixed drinks is what today's edition does best. As for the vibe? That depends solely on the day of the week you visit. Go on a Saturday night, and you'll get a cooler-than-cool DJ spinning popular TikTok-trending R&B tracks and a crowd of twenty-something Gen Z-ers wearing revived '90s fashion and comfortable white sneakers. (Credit: Chanca by Coya) And if you consider yourself 'too old for this', then Thursday nights would be more your thing with a laid-back yet very grown-up evening brunch offering up a sophisticated menu of tasty Peruvian food. It's a relatively small space that's enveloped by a golden glow. Deep red velvet banquettes line the walls, surrounding polished marble-topped tables, creating cosy pockets perfect for conversation or bottle service. The design plays heavily with texture. Think mirrored mosaics, intricate lattice screens and layered metallic finishes. It's glamorous without being ostentatious, creating an atmosphere that feels stylish. Chanca offers its own menu of Peruvian bites, different to those offered in the COYA restaurant, including a wagyu maki roll and sweet potato croquettes covered in grated manchego, sitting on a tamarind sauce and plenty of sushi. But let's be real…you'll be too busy dancing to worry about your stomach. (Credit: Chanca by Coya) Service is attentive, while drinks are innovative and well-priced for the location, hovering between the Dhs60 to Dhs75 mark. And there's even a dedicated Peruvian mixed drinks menu featuring unique ingredients like rhubarb, cacao and kaffir lime. The ambience feels both curated and cool, but it's not without its occasional crowded nights. When the music is good and the vibe is right, Chanca reminds you why it's still one of Dubai's favourite speakeasies. While it may have evolved from its secretive beginnings, it hasn't lost its sense of exclusivity – it's just been made a little more accessible. Its latest chapter is one of its most exciting ones yet – and one that delivers with style.

Freddy and Jackiey appeared in a TikTok together this week FAMILY FEUD Jade Goody's mum Jackiey hits back at Jeff Brazier in war over Freddy after weed smoking pics JADE Goody's mum Jackiey has hit back at Jeff Brazier in a war over Freddy, after their weed smoking pictures emerged.

For over a decade I have watched everything you have done for your boys. I am in awe of the strength, sacrifice and love you show daily. What a dad. You deserve all the […] Credit: Instagram/katebrazierpr Then, in a clip shared on TikTok this week, a shirtless Freddy and his grandmother could be seen dancing around in the garden of her South London home. This comes after Freddy was spotted 'smoking a joint' with his former reality TV star grandmother near Tower Bridge in full view of tourists. Our exclusive photos and video show them smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette as Jackiey was seen to be 'acting erratically' with her grandson. An onlooker remarked: "The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. Advertisement The source added: "She appeared to be acting erratically." It comes as Freddy's TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey, 68, from seeing him. Now, Jackiey has hit back. The mum of Jade Goody dismissed the legal action, and said: 'This is all nonsense - seriously. I'm serious. Freddie has been here this morning. Advertisement 'He's just left. He will come back. I'm still going to be seeing him.' Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff by posting TikTok dance with gran Jackiey after legal action to stop him seeing her The 68-year-old was also defended by her neighbours, who told MailOnline: 'I've known her for years. She's a good nan. She's been through hell. 'She loves those boys. She might not always be very diplomatic. But she's protective of the lads. 'She'd do anything for them.' Advertisement Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 with the two boys then raised by their dad. Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for his son's wellbeing. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. Advertisement A source told the publication: "Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they've always had a strong bond. "Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. "They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years. "Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked." Advertisement 5 Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey Credit: Getty
