About Errol's Hot Pizza
Pizza in Glasgow rarely hits this register. Errol's does thin, crispy New York-style bases with a seriousness that puts it ahead of the city's better-known spots, and the room — funky, eclectic decor with a retro feel — matches the food's confidence. The burrata of the day is where to start: the version with coppa and balsamic has been drawing attention. From there, the salami or the sausage and onion pizza are the ones people keep ordering, and the portions are large enough that sharing one between two is a genuine option. The marinated olives are worth knowing about. BYOB is allowed at £3 corkage, which changes the economics of the evening considerably. Book online before you go — walk-ins regularly get turned away.
In the last 90 days, Errol's Hot Pizza has drawn 6 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
