Gannet co-founder launches pizza bar Flùr

Ivan Stein, co-founder of The Gannet restaurant in Glasgow, has opened a New York-style pizza bar called Flùr. 

Serving 18-inch pizzas as well as individual slices, Flùr has opened at Edinburgh's Bonnie & Wild following weeks of prep and a charity pop-up at The Palmerston. 

Stein has worked with global pizza consultant Anthony Falco for his support in developing the pizza recipe and flavours. 

"Flùr is absolutely inspired by the amazing New York pizzas, but I’ve sourced the ingredients from local suppliers, including Scottish-milled flour, so we can really showcase the best of what our country has to offer, which of course fits perfectly with the wider vision at Bonnie & Wild," he says.

"After visiting New York and sampling its amazing food scene, among the best in the world, I wanted to bring a flavour of that back to Scotland, and opening Flùr at Bonnie & Wild seemed the perfect way to do it, and it’s been fantastic to have the legendary pizza expert Falco with me on that journey."

Pizza flavours include classics such as Margherita and Pepperoni as well as a Nduja & Honey pie or home-made Salsiccia sausage. Flùr will also be serving a select menu of freshly made pasta dishes, including Bucatini Carbona, Tagliatelle with Spring Vegetables, and Ziti with Ragu Genovese, alongside arancino bites, garlic knots, weekly specials and kids dishes.  

"I’m so excited by Flùr, and I think it’s going to be massive," says Ryan Barrie, managing director at Bonnie & Wild. "I love the branding, the vision and most of all the food they’re producing. I think visitors to Bonnie & Wild are going to be blown away by the amazing pizza and pasta from Flùr, and it’s another amazing addition to our Scottish marketplace from another brilliant chef at the top of their game."
