    Well, that was an abomination.

    Purée is not sauce. You can'T just smear it onto pizza bread and call it tomato sauce.
    Also, there shouldn't be a strange cleaning product after taste from a cheese pizza. Has anyone ever had a nice pizza from dunnes deli?

    I didn't know they'd expanded to India.

    Did you take the plastic off it before you put it in the oven?

    A cheese pizza is just the foundation of a proper Pizza. Try getting a proper pizza next time.

    Those pizzas were lush once upon a time. Then both our local Dunnes and Tesco stopped doing them. Haven't had a deli pizza in a long time now.

    To be honest, it might have improved the taste.

    A margherita isn't a "proper" pizza?

    No, ask any Italian, it brings shame and embarrassment to the entire country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,789 ✭✭✭Alf Stewart.


    Any Italian worth his or her salt knows the most authentic and traditional Italian pizza one can consume is a Hawaiian one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,618 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Dunne Stores mentality...How can we produce this as cheaply as possible but still make it look fairly close to half decent.

    They went to the bother of getting the dish an EU label of Traditional Guaranteed Specialty so I doubt that.

    Who are you going to believe? The EU or some random stranger off the internet?

    If you folded one of them pizzas in half and threw a slice of ham into it, it wouldn't even make a good sandwich.

    Yip, and you can't have an authentic carbonara if it doesn't include a few good dollops of cream

    I seem to remember that Paulo on newstalk said that real Italian carbonara didn't use cream.

    EDIT: Yup, not supposed to put cream in carbonara.

    Unfortunately yes. Ended up giving the better part of it to a dog, he didn't seem too impressed either.

    The secret to Dunnes Stores Deli Pizzas is making them into triple deckers with lots of different animal in the layers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,349 ✭✭✭Jimmy Garlic


    No such thing as a proper pizza in Ireland... Except in a good establishment with proper Italians in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Dunnes is a horrible kip of a place, wouldn't expect anything better really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,465 ✭✭✭Archeron


    I miss the little mini pizzas from when I was a kid, ten in a pack, stacked on top of each other. They were only nice when your burned the "cheese" on them.

    Loved them, even if the cheese left the roof of my mouth permanently disfigured.

    Wouldn't be totally adverse to a bit of Pineapple on a Pizza.
    Anchovies however are a crime against humanity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭beardybrewer


    A couple years back they did a gorgeous goat's cheese and caramelised onion one the missus loved. We used to go out of our way to get it even though we don't normally shop there. It was dear at €5.00 but always on sale. I guess quality didn't sell so they dropped it and brought out this instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭markupmales


    Well you can't blame them for the toppings as you put those on yourself... the base is pure styrofoam alright though.
    They're value by calorie count if nothing else.

    And the topping always came away from the base in one go, leaving basically a perforated disc of bread behind

    Fantastic when cooked fresh from our pizza oven.



    Or 'microwave' as it was also called...

    I would rather have pubes on my pizza. Anchovies are pure rotten mank.
