I got a pasting last year for slagging off Ray’s pizza, but I was kind of asking for it. My gripe was that the pizza, although delicious, was overpriced. Our reader Nanazolie agreed:
A pizza is cheap to produce. I make some at home for less than 3 euros. The dough is essentially flour, water, yeast and olive oil. Top that with a few spoons of tomato sauce and cheese. Even with a slice of ham and some sliced mushrooms, that wouldn’t bring the cost up too much.
Regular commenter Sarah says Ray’s is “like crack for me. I would happily pay €3 for a slice.”
In fairness, Ray’s is indeed quite delicious late at night after a few scoops. I even like their chips. But like almost all Japanese and Thai food in Ireland, it’s still overpriced.
I return to this issue because, on a recent visit to Cork, I tucked into their Ray’s equivalent, Fast Al’s. Selling pizzas by the slice at €3.50, it was heaving with hungry bodies in need of booze soaking. We tucked into their slices and can confirm they are as good as anything Ray’s has to offer but like all late night pizza, still overpriced.
I know I’m asking for a fight by slagging off Ray’s or Fast Al’s. Bring it on.
