Giving back

Owner Michele Civiera, who opened the brand’s first Glasgow venue in the west end last year, says that the offers are his way of giving back.

He said: “Students in Edinburgh have been such a huge part of the Civerinos story. This is our way of saying thanks to them for their continued support, while saying welcome to Civerinos to the students of Glasgow. We can’t wait to welcome die-hard pizza fans old and new through our doors.

“As well as the free slices, students will be surprised with discounts on the app all year round. When you’ve been doom scrolling for a few hours, who wouldn’t want to be interrupted with some discounted pizza?

“We know students have tight budgets, so we want to do something, so hopefully freebies and discounts will do.”

Civerinos background

Michele bootstrapped Civerinos original Italian-dining room venue at Hunter Square, just by Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, with the sale of his rare sneaker collection and car. In the eight years since, the venture has gone from strength to strength with two Edinburgh venues inspired by NY pizza joints on Forrest Road and Portobello Promenade, as well as the new Finnieston venue in Glasgow.

All you can eat offer

The brand recently launched its popular ‘Thugslice’ events; a weekly 'all you can eat' special offer, where attendees can claim unlimited margarita, vegan margarita and pepperoni slices for £10. The Thug Slice offer is running Monday - Wednesday nights in January between 9pm and 11pm across the brand’s Finnieston and Forrest Road venues.
