Pizzas don’t just have to be oven baked. Cooking a pizza on a barbecue is a great way to get a smoky and wood-fired-oven flavour. This antipasti pizza is made from scratch but well worth the effort. You can choose any topping you like but this combo works well. According to Met Eireann, it’s due [...]

Milano are running a €15 set menu offer at the moment – your €15 gets you Doughballs or Garlic Bread, a pizza from a decent selection and a glass of wine or a beer.  You just have to fill out a quick form at their website www.milanooffers.ie and you will get a printable voucher. The [...]

I’d heard great things about Bistro Bianconi, but always put off ordering. Hmmm, it does look and sound lovely, but I’m always loath to pay for takeaway pizza. Dominos, with their horrible stodgy dough and sinister, shiny toppings, charges around 16 for a 12 inch pizza. Four Star, which jostles with Domino’s for the title [...]

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, [...]

Bits and Pizzas was a childhood favourite. I wrote about it last week, but for the first time since I started this blog, I wasn’t entirely comfortable with what I said. I have such fond memories of this place, and still think it’s a great little restaurant. I have no personal connection to the owners [...]

Milano, the Irish arm of the UK chain Pizza Express, has recently launched a new menu which was created by celebrity chef Francesco Mazzei.  Mazzei runs the Italian restaurant L’Anima in London, and has created 11 dishes for Milano.  Milano very kindly invited us along to try them out, and treated us to a very [...]

The other day I came home from work and looked in the fridge. I had nothing to eat. NOTHING. And my pay cheque is not due for another week. I was really hungry. After sitting on the sofa for a full ten-minute huff, I went back to the fridge and looked again. There must be [...]

Check out this current offer at Milano – two pizzas for €12 until October 4th. The offer doesn’t apply on Saturdays, but does include their low-fat Leggera pizza.

I noticed this large shiny sign in the window of Ray’s Pizza, beside the Foggy Dew at the Central Bank. Three euro for a slice of cheese pizza, and four for a pepperoni slice! Sheesh… A full pizza in most similar places might be around the €10  mark, and contain, let’s say, six slices. So [...]

This week, Milano very kindly invited us to try out a new menu item that they are currently promoting: the Leggera Pizza, an interesting new low-fat pizza and salad combination.  I brought my friend and hero Geordie Sue along to try it out.  I was in the throes of a manky cold, and Sue was [...]
