Best Pizza Place in Dublin CC?

readyletsgo

So me and my mate are sick of going to Eddies after the cinema all the time and want to go get pizza instead but can never think of anywhere really nice and cheap besides Pizza Hut off Grafton st, or even Milanos .

Any recommendations on good a place to sit in for pizza, no booking tables just walk in, sit and order nice food in Dublin city centre?

Thanks!

Pizza Stop in the laneway across from Bruxelles does really good pizzas...its a proper restaurant too.

Gotham does really good pizza too.

There was invariably a floor show as the insane owner berated staff who threw plates at him etc...good times.

Steps of Rome on Chatam Court (just off Grafton St) - Hands down the best in the city. Try the potato pizza. Unbelievable

They're gone.

Another vote for Pizza Stop from me. Truly wonderful pizza.

Gavin "shels"

Little Caesars Pizzeria on Balfe St used to do class pizzas.

Independent beside Drumcondra train station is class, though not CC strictly speaking.

Thanks guys!

DiFontaine's in Temple Bar is the best pizza slice that I know of in the city. You can sit in on a stool but it's more of a takeaway place.

I popped into what was Shebeen Chic on Sth. Gr. George's st. last week. I think it's called Speakeasy now. It a bar selling pizza.

I got the special of the day. 7quid for 9inch- it was the nicest pizza I've had in years.

I was only there that once, might've got lucky, but it was delicious.

It was 4.90 for my pint of Guinness though.

Didnt know they did pizza in there, sounds good, will check it out!
Only went there once for a pint when it was Shebeen Chic, didnt like it as the stink of fish with people eating at the back was mank, never went back lol

DiFontaine's great for a slice after the pub, but am always hungry after it lol.

Best value pizza deal in the city? The best I know of is the Apache 'any pizza any size' deal for €9.99 before midnight. You can get up to 15'' in size with four toppings I think.

Anywhere beat that?

As an aside, it's amazing how much cheaper pizza is in the US than here. A large pepperoni in Dominoes is $9 there but €18 here. At least we have more deals on offer now since the recession.

Ciao Bella Roma across from the Porterhouse does a cracking pizza. Very Cheap too, with great Early Birds and Lunch specials. Doesnt look much from the outside but pizza are great.

Di Fontaines in temple bar is nice, although their food sometimes a bit too greasy. They do pizza by the slice. I like apache on dame street near the junction with George's street. It's takeaway or sit down, is cheap and cheerful, there are good deals, and the pizza there always seems nicer than any other apache's (but that might be because i usually have had a skinful any time i end up there).:D

The pizza hut lunch deal is a good reason to go to the pizza hut in suffolk street (which is kind of meh otherwise). I can't remember how much it is, but it's good value, and you can have as much pizza, pasta, and salad as you'd like from a decent selection of food that's refreshed quite often once they're busy.

FYI Gotham Cafe D2 & Independent Pizza Co D9 Are basically the same pizza, they are the same owners

Those are Dave's Pizzas. Great they have a permanent location, I was following the cart around at markets on weekends like a groupie

+ 1 also for Steps of Rome, Milano's and a slice of Rays Pizza goes down well for a pitt stop on a night out. Not all together though...

Does anyone else think this place is very overrated? Pizzas are adequate at best, definitely nothing to rave about.

Yeah Daves pizzas are very nice. They had a stand out at the Point village for the markets, lovely fresh pizza.

Also love indepedent pizza company.

Another to mention is the Kitchen just off Grafton St. Nice and decent prices but havent been in a while.

They can be very,very good....sometimes if they're busy or shortstaffed the pizzas dont get cooked for long enough..its an easy matter to send it back fro another few minutes in the oven though.

I was there once years ago and I thought it was lovely but I moved to Drumcondra recently and have tried it twice (once for sit-in, once takeaway) and neither time was I blown away. I like the variety of toppings they have but they just weren't as tasty as they should be!

Another VERY overrated place I ate in last week was Miller's Pizza Kitchen on Baggot Street. Apparently renowned for their pizzas. They have some very interesting toppings but the pizzas we got weren't great at all, and you're paying through your nose for them!

I'm not always so moany Had a delicious pizza in Pacino's recently, nicest I've had in a while. Porterhouse also do a delicious margherita, great to share over a few beers.

I have to agree with you on that. Scrumptious!:)

Mr Simpson

Another vote for Dave's Wood Fired Pizza in the Speakeasy, it's delish between €5 and €7 for a 9 inch-ish size pizza.

a very cool kid

Big fan of the old €4 euro slice and a can at Papa Pizzeria on Talbot St, its pretty much takaway but you can get a stool.…

Ben D Bus

If you count the IFSC as city centre then Il Fornaio does my favourite. Also Botticelli in Temple Bar isn't bad.

I like eating in Pizza Stop but the pizza is only so-so.

Rowley Birkin QC

Not really CC but by far the best pizza I've had in Dublin is Da Mimmo on Fairview Strand.

As good as anything I've ever had in Italy.

That will be North Strand.
Yes, it's very authentic, even down to the toppings. No pineapple and the like there.

Its difficult to find good Pizza in Dublin. Independant Pizza Co is great but I never find myself out that direction. Saw Dave's Pizza at the market last week so tried one. Was delish! Really nice base adn sauce which is the making of a good pizza IMO. They have their sauce for sale too. Would like if you could buy the base. Would also like to see a good veggie pizza on the menu.

What market was that? I love Daves!

Sin_J

It's just outside the CC in rathmines, but Manifesto.
It's a proper sit down place, though they might do take away, not sure.

Was recommended it by some Italian friends who told me it's better than anything they've ever had at home.

It was really good.

Have only skimmed through, so apologies if its been mentioned, for my money, there's no better than Rays pizza in temple bar (beside central bank). Best pizza I've had in Dublin.

Had a slice in there today and it was SO good. €2.50 for a slice of cheese pizza is good value too.

The peoples park in Dun Laoghaire on Sunday. Haven't been there in a long time, it's great!

Its a bit far for me unfortunately, must check if they're at any other markets.

Absolutely adore Dave's pizzas! Every saturday I'm tempted to pop up to the market at st.annes to get one. They're not bad value too, compared to the ridiculous overpricing in most pizza places.

Fav pizza places are:
- Toffoli (if it's still there!) which is just on that laneway besides Burdocks in Christchurch - tiny, hole in the wall place, where you can watch your dough being thrown in the air 2m in front of you.
- Al Vesuvio on Mespil Rd - wood-fired oven in the window! (I ate my crusts with glee and that's saying something!)

xena2

Was in Honest Pizza tonight, new place on Dame Court (opps. Stag's Head), and dayum it was good pizza! Real deal, wood-fired etc. Pile of logs for the oven in the middle of the room! Decent beer selection too. Really liked it!

I used to frequent there quite a bit when it first opened, although it was always better if you could get his slices straight out of the oven, as even Papa himself was telling people one time that pizza should never go in the oven twice.

The place across the road does a pizza slice and drink deal for the same price and is better than Papas, IMO.

wanderingdub

I am surprised to hear the negative comments about Independent Pizza in Drumcondra as I always thought it was very good, although it's been a long time since I've been in there in Fairness.

I know it's not CC, but La Costa takeaway in Clontarf do nice pizzas.

Apache Pizza is fairly consistent if you're looking for something cheap and convenient.

I shall need to try some of the places that people have suggested on here, I'll go on a pizza pilgrimage of Dublin!
