    Ricardos is a take away, I know they have a small restaurant in there as well but its a different business really.

    Ricardos pizza does great business for instance. What are they doing different than others ?

    Ricardos sells different food and possibly the rent is less at this location.
    Eden Gate also strikes me as being a particularly affluent estate, so I think that it is likely that the residents have a higher disposable income than in most other areas.

    How come no one is comparing it to the pizza shop in charlesland? The pizza shop in charlesland has been there much longer than ricardos and is still in business. There have been plenty of businesses in edan gate closed down and changed hands. The wine shop lasted 5 minutes and wasnt the place where ricardos is called pizza and cream before it shut down (and a different one before that) and i remeber the convenience store was well over twice the size it is now.

    Having said that ricardos does seem very popular and i know people from all over greystones travel to it. I dont see appeal myself, tried their pizza but didnt think much of it.

    Yeah lots of shops have come and gone in Eden Gate so I dont a comparison.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Really? I thought Brian was always the owner... I know the franchise has changed from Godfathers originally to PHQ then PizzaHut Delivery (just a brand change within the Pizza Hut group).

    It didn't change hands. The franchise changed from Godfathers to Pizza Hut.

    It did change hands, Brian is no longer operating the business. There was a long standing employee (I think it might be two long standing employees) who took over the business. Lovely guy (Elgin), you'll know his face as he has been there from day one.

    Dropped into La Creperie Pierre Grise for brunch this morning. Really impressed- we had the gaulettes and they were delicious! Can't wait to go back!

    Agree completely. Delicious treats. Lovely setting. Friendly staff. I've brought the kids for a treat there a couple of times and have a nice savoury myself.

    Great addition to Greystones in my opinion.
