A new restaurant is celebrating its arrival in Edinburgh today by serving up half price pizzas to locals.
The city's second Franco Manca welcomes in customers for the very first time this Monday after opening up in Stockbridge, with the Italian eatery offering stunning views over the Water of Leith.
Owners of the 'sourdough pizza pioneers' say they've brought their second food spot to the capital, on 1 Deanhaugh Street, 'due to phenomenal demand'.

And those who are keen to pop by today or tomorrow will get 50 percent off all pizza and salads on the menu as the pizzeria is welcomed to the neighbourhood.
Announcing the news this morning, the Franco Manca team say: "The beautiful new restaurant follows the success of Franco Manca’s sister site on south St Andrew Street, which regularly welcomes up to 2,000 customers a week - the city’s top sellers include the classic margherita (No.2) and lightly smoked beechwood salami (No.7).
"As well as offering its authentic Neapolitan cuisine, the new restaurant will serve up stunning views over the Water of Leith in the heart of Edinburgh’s Stockbridge community.
"Franco Manca pizzas are made with slow-rising sourdough, with a mother dough which dates back to the late 18th century, topped with fresh, properly sourced, seasonal ingredients. The dough is made fresh on site, with daily specials on offer, and menu prices starting at just £5.95.
"First procured by the pizzeria’s founder, Giuseppe Mascoli, near the city of Naples, the recipe still honours the ingredients and methods that make the age-old style of Neapolitan pizza unique, delicious and world-renowned."
Simone Annette, Area Manager at Franco Manca, said: "Following the success of our Edinburgh debut on south St Andrew Street, we wanted to offer pizza lovers even more choice with the launch of an incredible new location.
"Our iconic sourdough, unique to Franca Manca, is sure to go down a hit with Deanhaugh Street diners looking to get a slice of authentic Italian pizza. So, if you live in the city, or are just passing through, feel free to drop in and enjoy 50% off our entire menu."
