Harden's survey result
Summary
Stop Press – in summer 2024, Paul Stevenson sold this hit pizzeria with a local sibling (plus equally popular pasta-only brand Sugo) to Glasgow-based DRG, whose empire includes Café Andaluz amongst many others, in what was reportedly an eight-figure deal. Fortunately, the new owners have announced that they have no plans to tinker with the winning formula, and for now it seems to be business as usual at this industrially styled venue, meaning that it continues to turn out “exceptional” Neapolitan-style pies from a “buzzy short menu” (almost wholly comprising a list of ten pizzas plus “amazing specials”).
Summary
There’s a “wonderful buzz” around Sugo owner Paul Stevenson’s city-centre pizza joint – also with a West End spin-off; cooked in artisan-built, wood-fired ovens imported from Naples, the pizzas are “exceptional”, while a “limited menu ensures quality” – and is rounded out, in any case, by “always amazing specials” (e.g. pancetta, roasted violet potatoes and fior di latte).
Summary
“You don’t have to go to Naples” to find “great, reasonably priced pizza and excellent ice cream”. This “very buzzy place in the centre of Glasgow” is “setting the standard for great, no-frills pizza”. There is a second branch in the city’s West End, and owner Paul Stevenson also runs pasta specialist Sugo.
Summary
Dough proved for up to 48 hours to satisfy those Neapolitan pie puritans are the draw to this “very cheap” and accordingly “very busy” pizza pitstop with city-centre and West End branches; they also run a pasta-centric three-year-old sibling, Sugo, in the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Herald Building.
