Best Pizza in Town

batm!ke · 12-10-2011 3:33pm #1

Well lads, anyone know of a really nice place to get a pizza in town, have a mad hankering for one all of a sudden but when I think of what's on offer; Dominos (greasy) Four Star (Dry) Pizza Hut (meh) Gino's (overrated IMO) I'm sure there are some nice local places people could recommend? And yes, I'm aware my post make me look like the Goldilocks of take-away pizza.

Heard good things about Stan's Tasty Bites in Kilcohan?

Sopranos across from Storm Cinemas. Currently my favourite pizza bar the Chicago town ones you buy in the shop

Heathen · 12-10-2011 4:10pm

Mizzonis for me :-) oh, and Domino's double decadence when its just after payday haha

BlaasForRafa · 12-10-2011 4:17pm

Sopranos. nom nom nom

The_Shotz · 12-10-2011 4:18pm

apache pizza in Johns street, its only gorgeous, the nicest of them all I reckon

johnnykilo · 12-10-2011 4:27pm

Coney Island special, you can't go wrong!

Crusty Blaa · 12-10-2011 4:31pm

I have loved Coney Island since I was a young fella and still do. Florins ain't bad either.

old gregg · 12-10-2011 4:53pm

La Fontana do a very nice pizza using top quality ingredients.

The only time I was ever in Apache I asked whether they use Mozzarella and none of the staff including the cook knew. Time to leave at that stage.

batm!ke · 12-10-2011 5:01pm

I had forgotten about ALL those places! Ha, thanks for the replies! Now ye mention it, I have heard lots of good things about Sopranos. Do Apache still do that meal deal for a fiver where you get a little small pizza, chip and a can? That was nice and handy to be fair!

ziedth · 12-10-2011 5:11pm

Is Sopranos not gone? Pizza hut in there now IIRC.

As a side note. When I finally come to power those that like thin base pizzas will be the first to be cut adrift........

jammstarr · 12-10-2011 5:14pm

Coney Island is the best option in town.

I'm a little obsessed with the espresso and brasserie pizzas

Espresso, yeah forgot about those. Was never keen on the food in Brasserie!

abouttobebanned · 12-10-2011 6:22pm

The BBQ chicken pizzas in the brasserie are very filling but top notch. I can't really comment on the other food (except the chips, which I was never a fan of but I think they've changed now) cause I only eat pizza there.

seanybiker · 12-10-2011 6:59pm

Dying to try one from la taverna. Supposed to be savage

Sully · 12-10-2011 6:59pm

I don't like the chips in espresso, tho! lol

Pizzas man pizzas. Stay on topic or your banned. Hahaha. Go me

dazftw · 12-10-2011 7:07pm

Coney Island is really nice, pizza hut is good too then id say apache.. Not as greasy as dominos. I should try some more places though as they're the only four I've tried.

They are to die for, but different, not a take away type thing.

Best give yourself some time, its a bit of a rush to get one inside a 1 hr lunch.

Hey Seanie! Are you a mod?

Where were you when I was banned?

Friends in low places & all that!!! :rolleyes:

batm!ke · 13-10-2011 9:05pm

I'd say Mod powers would completely go to Seany's head! :P Told my gf I was mad after pizza, was going to through all the suggestions with her when I got home and pick one but in the meantime she went and bought a frozen Aldi one! To be fair, the 'fresh' pizzas are nice enough there but the outer crust of the frozen one was impervious to my pizza cutter (after cooking it of course)

cocoshovel · 13-10-2011 9:13pm

This thread needs a poll.
Ive never really tried any pizza places aside from the main places (dominoes, pizza hut, godfathers). I've been eying up all the pizzerias in town over the past 2 weeks dying for one but can't decide! Actually, walking through town in general is torture with all the fast food smells wafting out at me

batm!ke · 13-10-2011 10:05pm

Poll open!

If anyone is comin to NY in the near future PM me and I will lead you to the holy effin pizza grail on this side of the pond. Great stuff over here bai!

Go for Pizza Hut!!!

Yep, La Taverna FTW all the way - the lads in there, Cristian etc., are all sound out too. Food like you get in Italy - none of this greasy lasagne and chips lark, or "Hawaiian" fcuking pineapple pizzas.

michellie wrote: »

Where's that?

By the way, the holy grail in Ireland is Steps of Rome just off Grafton St in Dublin. Pizza al taglio (done in a tray and sold by the slice) just like you get in la Città eterna... mmmm mmmm!!!

wellboytoo · 14-10-2011 8:46am

La Taverna should be in there!!!!!

ziedth · 14-10-2011 9:57am

Looks like a two horse race ATM

jonnyfingers · 14-10-2011 10:10am

Coney Island, Dominos and Pizza Hut leading the way??? :eek: Utter muck.

La Taverna for me everytime.

cocoshovel · 14-10-2011 10:55am

Where is La Taverna?

The place has been many coffee shops in its day, but now does lovely pizza! Expensive though,

Edit: I actually posted the location but it disapperared!

Beside Happy Garden I think.

Anyone tell me if they do takeaway pizza?

Yep, but last time I was there it was the same price as on the sit-down menu so very expensive. Things may have changed though as that was months ago.

STIG83 · 14-10-2011 11:47am

Dominos all the way, in Perth, their large is only a medium back home. Think ill order one now.

Ray's Pizza in Manhattan - now you're talking! Taste Buds now actually overloading with the thought!

Rays is ok but it is very commercial like pizza hut and the other chains. All the ingredients come in a can! Now, there are some better ones than that! Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side is tops in my book. Authentic, home made fresh sauce with real wet mozzarella and fresh basil cooked in a wood fired oven....FooK...now I'm gonna have to drive over there this weekend for one!

fricatus · 14-10-2011 3:47pm

I'm spoiling my vote unless I can vote for La Taverna!

OP, can you add La Taverna to the poll, or will I have to get the support of four county councils to get it onto the list?

and mayhap also add La Fontana. The poll is skewed towards the ingredients from a tin chain outlets I think.

leduke · 14-10-2011 4:41pm

is gino's closed down or does everyone just prefer the others????????

Premier · 14-10-2011 5:11pm

just my thoughts, Ginos got to be the best:D

cocoshovel · 14-10-2011 5:12pm

Apache pizza is really attracting me with that price. 9.99 for any size pizza :eek:

batm!ke · 14-10-2011 8:01pm

Can't change the poll sorry! That's why I left an "Other" option for places like La Taverna (which I'm sad to say I never heard of). It's not geared towards the major Pizza people like Dominos as such, just that they're more instantly recognizable and I reckoned most people would have had at least one of those compared to the rest.

Looking forward to trying La Taverna some night thanks to the recommendations but tonight Matthew... I'm a Coney Island customer!
