Best pizza in the city?

dapto1

Simple enough... In your opinion, where does the best pizza in Cork?

Sephiroth_dude

Ginos.

FTGFOP

Uncle Pete's.

stevexo

mizzoni on coburg st, just off mac curtain st.
i always go for the calzone combo - delicious, and they do free delivery before 1am

Dermighty

CafeBarDeli by far but also (surprisingly) Uncle Petes.

Nice one, I haven't tried any of these places. I'm working with a group of Italian students and they've been looking for good pizza.

Amicus have some fantastic pizza's at really good prices for a sit in place.

I love the Pizza in Il Padrino

anyone been to novacentos?

Yeah, Novecento is brilliant, actual live-blooded Italians own it as well! Crispy bases, traditional toppings, beside Fionnbaras so great before/after/in between pints.

Ginos is ok, but imo it's a homogenised version of pizza. Too much cheese, too dense base...

I second that. Novacento en route on my walk into town, good way to start the night eating a slice on the way to the pub, Beautiful Pizza

+1 for Novecento, very good pizza!

Uncle Pete's is very tasty,

Amicus for me , great choice and they do takeaway.

Hello All,
might check out some of those reccomendations. I live in Fermoy and the Wimpys Siciliana (onion and mushroom) is the best pizza i have tasted. If you are ever out in the countryside.....PB

Have you tried them because they're really good. Their rocket and parma ham is the closest I've gotten to that pizza in Italy. First stop in the city would be Uncle Pete's.

Why? Sober Lane pizza is lovely.

Uncle Petes is really great, but very very dear. I still quite like 4 star and even Apache as well. That said, I just like pizza. I love the make your own in Dunnes as well.

An exact copy of a pizza in Amicus, just minus the feta cheese

Wait, are you accusing Sober lane of copying an Amicus pizza, because it's a fairly standard - without feta - pizza in Italy

Their baguettes are very good value. Had a desire for their steak and cheese on saturday, but was lazy and phoned Dominos for pizza; it was a bad choice.

I wish the opposite re Novecento - even their smallest size is too much for me. Great pizza though. And Fast Al's is yum too.

TBH, Pizza's are like BJ's, even when they are bad, they are still pretty good.

That said, I just love Pizza, no matter where I get it! I really couldn't decide on the best because I would keep finding pro's about other ones and comparing them in a circle!

I've never been but googled it and it's on Douglas Street

RedRebel

Novecentos. It's savage. Best in the city imo.

Shenshen

Novecentos.

One of the few places in the whole of Ireland that actually does decent pizza!!!
Just like I remember it from Italy, perfect crust, yummy tomato sauce, great cheese, I could gorge myself just on their Margharita. And their toppings are dreamy... try the roast vegetable one, I've been there with Italian friends and even they were impressed!

Can't bring myself to go there after the one in the IFSC where the standard is appalling.

Vivara

Without a doubt, Milano. When there are these big companies who have absolutely perfected the taste of the pizza, nothing else can compare.

Anyone who has mentioned Amicus has no clue about pizza! They use like Dolmio sauce.

I have tried a number of the other places and I constantly go back to the cheaper, faster and tastier stuff in Milano.

Sounds like the first two places I should try:

Novocentos & Uncle Pete's!
