Luigi's Pizzeria

I love a pizza. Love ‘em. But a takeaway pizza is more than a convenience, it has to be special. What’s more, because my tummy appears to protest about gluten, I have to choose my pizzeria carefully; just flour water salt, dough rested for ages. You know the drill. T’other week I spent an afternoon in Spex Pistols, also in Dundee, where head honcho, Richard raved about Luigis. So I made it a mission to get there whenever I next could. What do you need to know? Well, they have an app. That’s important because they’re busy and despite placing an order just after opening at 1700, I was given a collection time of 1915. But that’s fine, I had the option of ditching the order on the app once I had this beta. The app was a doddle to use and I could, and did, customise my choices. Collection: These guys and gals are in Hilltown, which isn’t town centre. I had the car and it was an easy spin. Google reckoned it would take half an hour to march there from the V&A. Just be aware that you might have to earn your calories if you are leather-tramping. The staff? Engaging, charismatic and funny. As soon as I arrived I was greeted, and chit-chat commenced. But no time was wasted. They hit my order. This was going to be fresh. And it was. Fresh and quick. It’s Neapolitan style, right? In the oven a couple of minutes. The smell was amazing. I was desperate to tuck in. Exceptional flavours, cooked to perfection and warm, Scottish service. It’s not all deep-fried mars bars and stovies up here, you know.

Great pizzeria? The fantastic friendly staff at Luigi's are second to none as are their exquisite range of pizza and one of the best chippies in Scotland. I can't praise the staff and their fine fare they have to offer enough... Must be tried, you will not be disappointed. They also offer gluten free pizza. Great wee family run eatery!!!
