    I've tried teh peanut butter egg ;) and it was the best egg I've ever had. Peanut butter layer throughout the whole shell was an amazing idea.


    I'm defintiely trying their meal deals soon and they are so close, very handy! All the pictures of their food is amazing, and it sounds great. Hope they do well.

    I think I also saw on their page where they can do bigger family type meals, they also do large dessert pies, that could be very handy if you're looking for something to bring to a pot luck/family meal etc.

    Ordered from these earlier, very impressed! The food was lovely and extremely reasonably priced. Both my boyfriend (vegan) and I (non-vegan) were very happy with it :)

    I was a bit confused about the whole ordering process so I asked them about it yesterday - you can order from the full menu at any time, but they recommend placing the order the day before or early in the day so that it'll definitely be ready. So I placed mine yesterday to pick up today. I had a small pizza, the boyfriend had cannelloni, and we also got a banana and cinnamon pizza for dessert. :) You can also get the daily meal deal, I just fancied a pizza :D

    I really liked it! It was quite sweet but that's not a problem to me :P I'd never had a dessert pizza before either but I really enjoyed it.

    Is the food delivered all cooked and hot or do you reheat it yourself? I'm well outside their normal delivery area so it would be cool if I could go collect a few things then leave them in the fridge and reheat as required.

    If you ask them I'm sure they will do what you want, either way you can always just leave it in your fridge and reheat it

    I'm in college at 11am on a Wednesday in the city center, send a text asking for a hot e5 pizza delivered outside my college for 4.30 that day, and get it. Is this thread saying such a dream is possible?

    I guess try to remember they are just a teeny tiny business, set up in their own home I think, so it's understandable they need time to prepare stuff, so they say they prefer you order the day before but they can also do same day. If you have any questions for them I'd say just send them a message on fb and they should get back to you quick enough.

    And I saw them mention somewhere that they do leave heating instructions with the food. You can also collect from their house in Phibsboro afaik.

    The only thing and I said it to the girl before, but I wish they'd get paypal coz obviously I'm not at home at the moment and I'd like to be able to have stuff delivered to people if I wanted.
