    Anyone else deeply saddened by this? Does anyone know what the story is?

    The pizza was lovely, but the prices were horrendous.

    I suppose. €16 for a pizza was a bit too much. :(

    I was in there one wednesday a few months ago and it was busy. Probably had an expensive lease agreement and couldnt afford to drop prices to get trade in.
    I tried Base wood fired in Terenue but wasnt as nice as Bistro and sauce lacked enough herbs IMO. It's impossible to get a nice, wood fired stone oven pizza in dublin, one with a real smoky wood taste in the base.

    seriously? wow that was the best of all takeaways ever. hope it is not true. 16€ for a pizza is not expensive if the pizza is out of this world

    It was a nice place alright.However,given the given they were charging, especially in the current climate,it was inevitable.

    My source tells me its the actual owner of the chain and not a franchisee who has re-opened it.

    I ordered from there a few times and was always disappointed. Too expensive, little flavour, are hardly any toppings. Also, some of their "designer" pizzas were simply horrible.

    Obviously sad to see a business close down, but don't think they should be missed.

    This is just my opinion. I appreciate you may have a different opinion.

    If you are looking to get a really tasty pizza in Ranelagh or Tenerure I would reccommend Marios. Pizzas are great as are all mains. Atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable and extremely friendly staff. Terenure have a really great early bird menu running at the moment :)

    This place is back open. I was in there this evening. It's under new management. All pizzas are €10 at the moment and the prices are down across the board.

    I've always been a fan of their food and I'm glad to say the menu hasn't changed during the changeover.
