    Maybe it's my imagination, but sometimes I find I can taste the cardboard on a takeaway pizza :(

    I'd prefer to either get pizza fresh in a restaurant or cook my own pizza from frozen. Frozen pizza is cheap, but not bad for what you pay - better value for money than takeaway pizza imho. If I'm ordering food in I'd prefer chinese or maybe a chipper.

    Despite living in Bray, I'm having trouble visualizing where Platform is exactly .. in fact, I'd never even heard of it until I read this post, so it must be well hidden. Their location map isn't working on their website, and given the address of 7 Strand Road I'd imagine it's somewhere around Katie Gallaghers or whatever it's called these days, but I'm struggling to see where they could have fitted a place in like this without me spotting it.

    It's part of what used to be Katie Gallghers. totally unrecognisable now and the food is amazing. I would recommend it.

    By the pier? Yes. Our verdict is that you need to be uber choosey with the toppings.

    Their oven is good, sauce good, cheese good. When you pick non-italian toppings like pepperoni or guac it's not their strong point. Fairly fake and totally mank. Stick to very plain, like oprosciutto or just tomato/cheese, and it's nice.

    Non-pizza, but great from there are the homemade biscuits, the tiramisu and the cannelloni.

    For those of you who love good thin base pizza but hate it cold and find reheating it makes it soggy, this is the best reheating process I've found so far.

    They usually are using high temp pizza ovens, so it might not come out nearly as good at home.

    The problem is more that the dough is all floppy, so with the toppings on top, you wouldn't be able to get the thing out of the box. In the restaurants, the chefs stretch the dough on to pans (in Milano anyway), but you have the problem of trying to remove a floppy base from the box and put it in a pan.

    Maybe they could half-cook it?

    Any chance you're tried their arancini?

    ... non-italian toppings like pepperoni...

    :confused: I would have considered pepperoni an Italian topping. At the very least it is a staple pizza ingredient & any restaurant that messes it up should be avoided.

    I would have too, just see this though

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperoni
    Pepperoni, also known as pepperoni sausage, is an American variety of salami, usually made from cured pork and beef mashed together....

    The term pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the plural of peperone, the Italian word for bell pepper.
    This explains why I got a pizza with bell peppers on it when I asked for pepperoni as a topping in Italy!

    Life hack:

    If reheating old pizza. Put a slice it two on a dry frying pan cover in a tin foil top.

    It gets a crispy bottom and wats the pizza through.

    I find dominos/ four star/apache truly awful. I'm not a health freak, far from it but the grease, heavy dough and low grade toppings are absolutely vile imo

    The pizza made by the deli counters in centra's shops is actually not bad. To be honest I was surprised, I got it recently and to be honest I was not expecting much.

    I heard some of them have proper hot ovens to cook it in just a few minutes.
