New Takeaway on Mary Street - "Pizza Shack"

joeKel73

Sign is lit and looks ready to open very soon, tonight or tomorrow I'd say. Just what Galway needs, another takeaway!

It's in the spot Monroe's "Pizza Pizza" was, next door to Golden Rickshaw. They've been working on it inside for a couple of months. Says on the sign they do "Burgers, Chicken, Fish, Kebabs"... so not really specialising in Pizza.

I'll check it out when they open.

Charcoal wont be too happy if they are doing kebabs.

its just what we need, another fast food joint.

Charcoal is the biggest rip off in the world. Got a kebab in there once. Was about 8.50,I said alright,it must be huge. Tiny wee yoke. Never felt more ripped off.

Charcoal is fairly poor alright.
The fillings are good, but I hate getting a crappy pita when I order a Kebab.
The new place beside eddie rockets, opened by two lads who used to work in charcoal, is the best kebabs in town. nan made in shop fresh every day.

classy!

i notice abrakebakra never returned to galway. it had the reputation for being the dirties chipper in town

thesandeman

That was Abras second time in Galway. First lot pulled out as well. Franchise must be too expensive/too strict.

I perceive a huge pent-up demand for basic cookery classes judging by the amount of takeaway food posts on boards.

Most of their stuff is cheaper than Charcoal too. Watch out tho, their chilli sauce is hot.

Boards has it all

Cooking Club

This pizza shack has to have made Mary's St one of the most heavily take-awayed streets in Galway, Golden Rickshaw, Asian Teahouse, PS,Charcoal Grill and la Salsa.

Should be called the Fatten Quarter

dr.bollocko

Capital Kebab does some great falafel. Never got the obsession with charcoal grill myself.

Gave it a try, chicken burger meal. Chips were good, burger wasn't great. Overall it's not any cheaper than takeaways around or offer anything different or new unfortunately.

For a "pizza shack" it's surprising they have no pizza on the menu. Apparently the current menu is just a temporary job and pizza will be on the permanent one when it's up. Don't think I'll be back tho.

They have a vegi burger, chip pita, chips.....

UrbanSea

And lettuce.

Just to add my 2c, best kebabs ever in Galway were Anatolia's in Dominic street. They were only there for a year about 10 years back.
Lamb kofte... Schlurp...

Anyone had a pizza from here yet. They seem great value compared to the 4stars and dominos of this world.

thesandeman

Not yet. That sign on the window is awful tacky though.
On another note, it looks like Abrakebabra/noodle place is undergoing another transformation. They were gutting it yesterday.

Hopefully they can stay open. Best location in the city, and they just screw it up every time. Hopefully it's not another Subway :P

Went one of the days before work to get something to eat. The portions in there are huge, couldn't finish half of what was put in front of me. Tried the pizza in there as well and it was lovely. big snackbox at the minute for a fiver is a good deal as well.

GuessWho2009

its the same owner as the take away shop in ballymoneen store in sli gheal. havent tried it yet but it looks fairly quiet

Edgedinblue

tried the regular taco chips with sauce from pizza shack, it was such a big portion, bf got the large and it couldve fed two people easily!! best taco chips we've had in galway too. worth the 4 or 5euro!

Yeah got pizza here, wasn't good unfortunately.

They're other food is good though so strange they have pizza as their title product so to speak. Their chips are very good, much much better than Charcoal.

joeKel73

They're on just-eat by the way. They've a huge range of a menu;

By jaysus lads the large taco chips near killed me, huge portion about two long aluminium trays worth in the box they sent them in, good taco chips too

thesandeman

Just had garlic chips and a veggie burger from there. Serious amount of chips alright :-o The 'small' portion was a full snack box of chips. Pat McDonagh would have a seizure if he saw it. The garlic was lovely and thick but they could have put a bit more on. Nuttin special about the veg burger once we established I didnt want bacon on it (she misheard my order) but it was grand and filling. Ive enough chips left over for a buttie tomorrow so value for money. Everything cooked from scratch as well.
Strangest thing about the whole thing was while I was waiting outside having a smoke the 'character' who goes around waving his arms and speaking in tongues came over and asked me for a cigarette in perfect english. I was so taken aback I gave it to him lol.

Second day old chip buttie...not for the faint hearted!

UrbanSea

Must give it a go.
Finally got off my arse and went to Norio's tonight rather than getting it delivered. Still think their 5 euro meals are hard beat.

UrbanSea

Anyone get a kebab yet? Want to know what size they are

I always eat the chips first, and microwave half burger/kebab the next day (though possibly not for breakfast).
You can microwave everything except chips it would seem!

This is true. The grill is the saviour of second hand chips.

Have been in here three times for their 'Shack Burger' now its pricy @ €5.20 but damn is it yummy. Basically a really nice 1/2 pounder with jalapenos

My first two experiences werent great from a servive point of view though. First time the owner thought it was more important to fill up his minerals in the fridge than serving me and took about 10mins to serve me.
Second time I had to wait for the server to finish a full john player blue before he came in to serve me, I prob sound like a pain but when it takes 5mins to get served and then another 8-10mins to cook

UrbanSea

That would annoy me too Shanley.

Gave the shack burger a go last night, that is one tasty motherfcuker of a burger!

WindyMyth

Tried it as well last evening, not too shabby! I had a burger and an order of chips - order of chips was as big or bigger than it is everywhere else in town, and I saw a couple eating what looked like maybe taco chips? HUGE order.

I wasn't knocked out of my shoes, but for a girl who hasn't had beef in almost four months, it was pretty okay! I'd probably eat there again. Girl behind the counter was super nice, too (just a little too heavy on the salt on my chips )!

GiddyBlonde

tried pizza shack out last nite, got one of the deals on justeat...pizza was lovely and chips were big chunky ones, wasnt too bad on my pocket will deffo go back

GuessWho2009

just got a text message there from Whats for Dinner? there now doing pizza shack and they have 2 12inch pizza, 2 chips, 2 dips and 2 drinks delivered for €25 seems like a fairly decent offer

zero19

I see they sell wine now along with lots of new drinks, milkshakes and smoothies on the just eat menu now

EuskalHerria

Had a milkshake today, a little expensive but worth the taste. Was expecting something like the dodgy ones in supermacs, but there proper milkshakes, Delish

GiddyBlonde

did u try the chocolate bar milkshake?? i had one with a Moro bar in it...yum yum... think i'll have to go get another right now... u just gave me the taste for it

joeKel73

GiddyBlonde you should know that reviews of new businesses from users with only two posts, both pushing for the business, don't carry a lot of weight around here.

foto joe...
1) new to this
2) replying to a thread
3) give me a chance to see how this whole boards thing works

TheRealSquishy

only veggie burger i've ever liked out of a chipper...delighted the pricing is really weird they're either way dearer or way cheaper depending on what it is! bag of chips was the size of my head though omnomnom! curry was a bit appley for me but i'm weird.

WindyMyth

Just ordered a pizza from here. As a native Chicagoan, I know pizza. I'm really really tough on pizza. I have ridiculously high standards.

All I can say is Wow. Wow wow wow. I think I got too many toppings, because they piled them on so heavily that the pizza was hard to eat! Delicious. Just delicious. Considering the portion size, I'd say this place is very easy on the wallet, as well.

Very very pleased. Best pizza I've had in Ireland.


(And once again, the employees were very nice!)
