Civerinos Glasgow
For the first Civerinos location outside of their Edinburgh home, the much-loved Scottish pizza giants needed to make their mark on Glasgow, updating their brand along the way. This was a dream brief to create a neighbourhood slice bar in the heart of Finnieston.

PIZZA BOY
Our vision was to bring the Civs' story to life by diving into the subculture that inspired the brand and the neighbourhood slice bar concept. Nostalgic references, in terms of style, colour and form from 80’s and 90’s skate, hip hop, film, NYC, fashion and pizza, informed every aspect of our work.
our response
The Civerinos identity was re-worked in tandem with the fit-out, providing an opportunity for the whole S+Co team to collaborate on a brand with a strong, positive personality. This included a new logo, graffiti style strapline and graphic symbols, paired with a new colour palette and signature chequered pattern.

REINVENTED INTERIORS
The interior space needed to work hard and yet have life and atmosphere - operationally it needed to ensure fast service to two different types of customer while maintaining flow and comfort for both customers and staff. Opening it up to allow natural light to flood in, putting the kitchen on display and creating separate but connected spaces for dining in and a takeaway slice counter was key to achieving that duality.
Bespoke furnishings
A simple palette of materials complements the existing rough brick walls. The client’s love of skate culture lead to the design of crisp, bent-plywood furniture inspired by half pipe skate ramp construction. The flexible curved forms create seating areas, bar fronts and a DJ booth that sits in the centre of the space.

360° approach
The result is a vibrant neighbourhood destination that captures the spirit of Civerinos while establishing a distinctive presence in Glasgow.

The project marked a successful evolution of the brand and set the template for its next chapter of growth
