Civerinos has five popular slice bars across Glasgow and Edinburgh
Over 160,000 votes were cast by loyal fans over three weeks to crown no less than 50 regional cuisine-led winners in the delivery giant's awards.
Judges included Deliveroo's CEO and founder, Will Shu, food critic and journalist Jimi Famurewa, and TV Chef and personality Tilly Ramsay.
Civerinos serves up authentic East Coast-style pizza, inspired by skate culture and 90s hip-hop.
Owner Michele Civiera sold his shoe collection to help buy the initial venue.
Since launching in 2014, the brand has become known for its 14-inch pies, laid-back interiors and great tunes.
Bosses even launched a "Sopranos-themed" diner last year.
Time Out Magazine previously said Civerinos pizza served up "some of the best slices you'll ever shove down your gob".
Raving over the delicious scran, professionals praised its "chewy crusts" and delicious "sweet-but-tangy marinara sauce".
Meanwhile, Deliveroo's Independent Restaurant of the Year 2025 has been won by CRUNCH from London after the five regional finalists, including Big Mannys' Pizza from Scotland, battled it out at a cook-off held at Deliveroo Editions in London.
Competing finalists had 45 minutes to cook their most popular Deliveroo main dish to the panels' discerning taste buds.

CRUNCH's most popular Deliveroo dish, the "Patty Melt", dazzled judges with its "next level" flavours.
Jimi Famurewa, food critic and Deliveroo restaurant awards judge, said: "Each finalist brought something unique and delicious to the table, making the final decision incredibly tough for us.
"However, CRUNCH from London stood out amongst the fierce competition, showcasing immense creativity, fine dining-level technique and mind-blowing flavour that impressed us all."
Scotland's best fish and chip shop was also crowned in this year's annual takeaway awards.
