Edinburgh restaurant Civerinos, well known all over the capital for their pizzas, are officially opening their latest venture on the promenade at Portobello beach on April 12.
Opening a slice bar in the new location has always been a dream for the Owner Michele Civiera and his family as it is situated in their hometown of Portobello, right on the beach.
This will be the fifth opening for Civerinos in the city, following their recent slice bar in Corstorphine called ‘West Slice’, and the new venue is all about community.
Porty-goers will spot the new 50 beach deckchairs overlooking the sea which will be rented out to customers and locals alike who are looking to enjoy a day by the seaside. All proceeds from the rentals will go to local Portobello charities such as The Toddler Hut, Beach Wheelchairs and Edinburgh’s Dog and Cat Home.
Civs also plan to offer local Portobello school children £1 pizza slices during term time from their new location on the promenade.
Renowned Edinburgh chef Tom Kitchin is also designing an exclusive pizza for the opening week with all proceeds going to a local charity and Civerinos will be donating DIY pizza kits to the local food bank for underprivileged families.
Prom Slice will open in the morning for smoothies and breakfast with all day pizza (who said pizza has to be for dinner, right?), through to late night.
Owner, Michele Civiera said: “I have always dreamt of opening in Portobello since I moved here 7 years ago with my family. I just wanted somewhere to take the kids in the evening for pizza on the beach. When this opportunity came up, it was the perfect location and fit for us.
"You can sit and look out to sea and enjoy an evening pizza with the whole family on the prom, it makes it extra special that it is in my neighbourhood which has always been a dream but something I think it also needed. I can’t wait for everyone to see it and what we have in store."
Prom Slice will officially open on Monday April 12 - follow them on Instagram here.
