Sear's Pizza opens new slice shop in Shawlands in time for Christmas
Already established as a neighbourhood favourite in the West End, Sear’s Pizza is now bringing a slice of New York to Shawlands.
Sear’s Pizza made their debut in Glasgow’s West End in September 2024, then opened their second location in Marchmont, Edinburgh in August this year. Now it’s time to hit Glasgow’s Southside with their authentic, no-frills NYC-style pizza.
The opening announcement states: “Glasgow pizza lovers, rejoice! Sear’s Pizza is bringing a slice of New York to Shawlands!” Local independent pizza shop inspired by New York style pizza, Sear’s will open on Skirving Street on Wednesday 24th December, with a bigger space and home delivery.
Pizza can be ordered as a full 18-inch pie or by the slice for your lunch break, a casual dinner or a late-night bite: “Inspired by the institutional slice-spots of NYC, Sear’s Pizza offers up classic hand-tossed, thin-crust slices with the feel of an 80s New York style pizza joint.”


Sear’s Pizza offers 6 pizza options and regular specials with slices starting from £2 each. Sear’s pizzas are made with low-moisture mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes and a mix of “Italian and organic, sustainable Wildfarmed Regenerative dough, fermented and baked to perfection.”
The interior, imagined by owner Paul Beveridge, is reminiscent of an 80s/90s New York pizza joint with exposed brick, wood panelled walls, an 80’s style menu board, self-serve soda fountain, NYC imagery, hand painted signage by Crooked Creative Studio, neon signs made by Solas Signs, counter service and a case filled with pizza pies. It has a nostalgic yet modern feel to it.
While the Chancellor Street branch is quite a neat space, Skirving Street will be larger, with two booths at the window. There will also be outdoor tables and a canopy for cover. With a bigger kitchen, Sear’s will now be available for delivery via UberEats.
