Civerinos Slice is a pizza-by-the-slice counter at 2 Hunter Square in Edinburgh's Old Town, beside the Tron Kirk and just off the Royal Mile in Scotland. Hunter Square is a small pedestrian space at the junction of the High Street and the South Bridge, and the slice shop is a quick, affordable stop for visitors moving between the castle, the Royal Mile and the university area. The offering is simple: freshly baked pizza sold by the slice, with a slice costing about £4 to £5, and a changing selection of toppings displayed at the counter. That pricing makes it one of the most budget-friendly meals in the centre of Edinburgh and a popular option with students, families and festival-goers who want a quick bite rather than a sit-down meal. Because the shop is a counter, there is no formal dining room, and the atmosphere is busy, informal and fast, with a steady stream of customers and a moderate to high noise level at peak hours. There is no dress code. Drinks are typically soft drinks and other cold beverages sold alongside the pizza. The venue operates on a walk-in basis and does not take reservations, which suits its role as a grab-and-go stop. Queues can build at lunch, in the late evening after pubs close and throughout the August festival, though the line usually moves quickly because slices are served straight from the display. Hours run from lunch to late, but visitors should verify current times on the website. The shop is close to many Old Town attractions, so it fits easily into a walking route, and slices are easy to eat on the move or at the nearby benches in Hunter Square.
