Best Pizza in Dublin

pastorbarrett · 22-08-2019 7:37pm

Di Fontaines used to be a top notch slice. Quality has taken an absolute dive in the last couple of years. Wonder if some change-up in ownership? Base no longer chewy deliciousness, overall a hot greasy mess these days.

For shame. It was a bona fide taste of New York style pizza.

Sano pizza is great value, and so delicious. Most pizzas are under €10, bar the specials. It's a big space so you won't be long waiting for a table. My only complaint was the sauce for your 99 ice cream for dessert, which arrived in a little jug to the table, not on the ice cream. Safe to say more ended up on the table and my clothes than the ice cream :pac:

I think I said it before in this thread, but I agree that DiFontaines has gone to greasy crap. Totally inedible the last time I got it. Would prefer Dollard & Co if I'm craving a slice after a few drinks.

Dublin Pizza Company is my best takeaway pizza.

Pi is the overall best pizza.

Special mention to Aperitivo on Parliament St., a cute wee place that specialises in veggie and vegan pizza. Only been there once but it was great.

Does anywhere do deep dish in Dublin?

I dont think there is. Pizza Hut on Suffolk St. used to do deep pan pizzas alright but they're gone now. Have never had Chicago style myself and wouldnt mind trying it but there doesnt seem to be any options in Dublin

Has Manifesto even got a mention here? Obviously the esteemed voters of this award aren’t Boardies! :rolleyes:

Pi is delicious. For take out Tiger in Rathmines is hard to beat. The most disappointing over the last year has been Base. We live close to one of their places and when they changed the menu the quality changed too. too many bad experiences put us off completely.

Muahahaha · 07-09-2019 3:23pm

Would agree with the inconsistency of Base, had a couple of pizzas from their Terenure branch recently and they just werent as good as a couple of years ago.

Not Dublin but had a pizza from Al Vesuvio on the main street of Newbridge a few weeks back and it was excellent. They're doing pizzas wood fired neapolitan style.

Heard good things about it. But I only had it as takeaway in a friends and it was very meh. Granted good pizza doesn't travel very well so I'd have an open mind and would try it in house.

Birthday on Wednesday and I'm being treated to a meal (my annual one :pac:), want to go for a simple pizza nothing too dear. Have personally posted in here about Sano and a few other places... what's my best shout, stick with Sano? Around Dublin 2 area.

Muahahaha · 27-09-2019 1:49pm

Maybe give Pi or Forno 500 a try if you havent been. They're a bit more expensive than Sano but wont break the bank either, besides you're not paying :pac:

Tried Forno before, prefer Sano. Not sure I'm bothered with all the queuing which seems to go with Pi after work either... eating in pint time :pac:

They take your name and number and let you when your table is available now so no need to queue

Pi is the best pizza I've eaten in Dublin lately. Highly recommend.

Going with Sano... €25 on Groupon for two pizzas, two desserts & two drinks! Basically giving it away!

Muahahaha · 02-10-2019 12:38pm

What a bargain, a sit down meal for two in the city centre for €25, cant go wrong with that

Qrt · 02-10-2019 12:55pm

Sano? Phenomenal.
Rua? Great, but mind the €7 a bottle Moretti.
Platform is...okay, it was nice but not worth the price.

There are two excellent options in Dun Laoghaire.

Shovelhead pizza. They use Toonsbridge mozzarella, its crazy good.

00 in Dun Loaghaire also, thin base minimalist style. You can taste different flavours with each bite. Actually i'm getting one of these tonight at thinking of the roasted garlic flavour just now.

+1 on 00. Ate there last Friday and thought it really excellent. Thin, elastic dough.

I've just been to the number one on that list in London. It was lovely but Forno 500,for me, was almost on a par.

Here is a link to a page that reviews pizzas in Dublin, it's very detailed.

I may be biased (being local enough) but the pizza in McGarry's, Harold's X is the bee's knees for, admittedly, pub pizza. Proper pizza oven, fresh, €13 with a craft beer. Cheaper with Heineken/Carlsberg

Rooster86 · 13-10-2019 6:38pm

Manifesto in Rathmines.

Was in there recently for fish and chips, must try the pizza. Fish was gorgeous the portion sizes were huge

Doctor Nick · 13-10-2019 7:22pm

Coke Lane Pizza in the back of Lucky's bar on Meath Street is the best I've had in a long time.

It's bloody expensive though

Muahahaha · 13-10-2019 7:28pm

Went for the €25 Groupon deal in Sano during the week. Pizza was delicious as always but maybe just a bit too much sauce on it which made it pretty sloppy. Made the mistake of ordering the sundae for dessert, my god they are massive and after a pizza I came no-where near finishing it. At a guess its the equivalent of eating 3 99's

Millers was the height of sophistication one time, along with Acapulco on George’s Street, and the Taj Mahal on Lincoln Place.

Was in Rascal's in Inchicore the other night for the 3rd or 4th time. Pizzas really are unreal. We got breadsticks and dips while waiting for everyone to arrive. Breadsticks are pretty much pizza crusts...airy and crispy and delicious, and gorgeous dips. I live local to it, but it's worth travelling for IMO.

Twee. · 14-10-2019 12:48pm

Rascals is great, and they do takeaway as I recently discovered!

jack01986 · 14-10-2019 12:52pm

Rita's in Ranelagh is my current favourite.

Lighthouse in Dun Laoghaire do amazing gourmet pizzas. My favourites are the Benjamin Zephaniah and the Eamon Dunphy. They do vegan and white pizzas but I haven't tried them.

Best thing is if you order before 18.30 you can get a pizza and a pint or glass of wine for €13.00.

Jumps in to follow! Very exciting, if it's as good as you all say, I thought the only local pizza options were 4* and chippers!!

The Nal · 14-10-2019 1:18pm

Pi for me, not having had Sano yet. Its on the list.

Pi On George's Street Ranked Seventh Best Pizza in Europe

Manifesto in Rathmines too. Lovely.

Irish restaurant voted in top 50 best in Europe for pizza

Base, hmmm. Its alright and very expensive. 15 quid for a Margherita!

The pizzas is Base are 13.5 inch so a bit bigger than a lot of other places. But agreed, they are expensive for what they are, good few pizzas on their menu are €18 which is pricey for a take away pizza

Yeah, Pi for example. Margherita is €11.50. 12 inch granted but 1.5 inch extra for 15 quid is a bit much. Buy two and throw in delivery and you're paying 33 quid for 2 Margheritas from a takeaway.

Considering each pizza costs about 20c to make I can't justify that.
