    I noticed that the place opposite the hospital (just at the entrance to Glenwood) is called 'Pizza Hut', but the logo looked different than the usual PH logo.

    Does anybody know whether this is an actual Pizza Hut, or just some pizza place using that name (although I don't know if that's legal).

    I think its a pizza hut delivery only place, they must be well on cos they had pallets of drinks going into it this evening. I would say that its kosher, there was a painted up D reg van at it the last few days. http://www.pizzahutdelivery.ie/

    Yeah I had a good look at it today and the sign said 'Pizza Hut Delivery' (the actual Pizza Hut - the same logo).

    What is PH delivery - is that where they only delivery and not serve over the counter?

    They're rampant around dublin and surrounding areas, they do over the counter and deliveries, just no sit down part.
    Should give dominos a run for their money

    I just live round the corner and can smell the damn place! Gonna treat myself to one tonight for the Munich/Lyon game, will report back. Large 4 toppings pizza for a tenner with the wee vouchers that came in the door, seems decent value at least.

    Ah feck it lads, I saw the post and wooped for joy as I thought Pizza Hut had come to Drogheda, and then to be deflated as I learned its in our sister town to the North that has the honour. TBH I've had takeout from PHD in Dublin and there food is top notch, i'd go for them over the other popular names.

    Sent the missus down last night and it was disastrous. 40 mins of waiting and still no pizza ready, 3 people in the shop walked out after demanding their money back because it took too long to get an order. maybe its just because they were only starting out, or maybe they are all idiots, either way i'm still hungry :(

    LOL! Sorry about that - it's my fault - I forgot to specify whether it was Dundalk in the OP (silly of me, I think I forgot this forum was for the whole of Louth). Sorry again!

    Hmmmm, let's see, now; Which of the following two possible occurences is the more likely?

    1. Godfather's forgot to update their website.
    2. The OP saw a sign that said "Godfather's" and thought it said "Pizza Hut".

    My money's on "1".

    I'm 100% sure that it is Pizza Hut - definitely not Godfather's. They probably forgot to update their website - unless they moved somewhere else in Dundalk?

    The service is Shocking , the delivery time was even worst and then the managers attitude when I wanted to speak to him regarding my pizza taking 1hour to be delivered was appalling.

    But the Pizza was amazing !


    I just don't know if i could go again due to principle.

    From a pizza point of view it was lovely but I got the impression that they weren't ready to be opened. I didn't phone ahead but just strolled over to it, it took 10 mins for them to take my order and another 20 mins to get my order! In the time I was there a guy was quite irate as he turned up for his phone order to find that it had gone missing! I did get the impression that they were prioritising phoned orders rather than counter ones.
    Maybe a bit harsh given that they are only opening and reviewing/tweaking their practices, I wouldn't recommend or not recommend on my only visit, will try it again in a few weeks and see how its going.

    Well both my cousin and I ordered yesterday and it was delivered in 20-25 minutes. Admittedly it was at about 3.30 and 6pm.
    The pizza itself wasn't bad. Little on the small side. Generous with the toppings. They could do with improving the sauce also.
    Still for a tenner it was fine. :pac:

    I had one the other night: 40 mins from phone call to delivery, which isn't bad. Pizza was nice, but not as good as Mizzoni. Guy on the phone was helpful, spent a couple of mins explaining a special offer to me that saved me a couple of € on the order.

    I ordered one last night - a large mega meat - was fairly good but wasnt as large as a mizzonis. The hot chicken wings were amazing though. It took about 45 minutes to deliver it which wasnt to bad but im used to gettin my mizzonis 15 minutes after i ring

    Is Mizzonis worth while then? I never liked the look of it passing by and have never tried it as a result. Personally the best in the town that I have had so far is from La Cantina

    Mizzoni is the best in town, IMO.

    +1 from me on that note. The food is good quality and the delivery is lightening quick.

    Yes, just opposite the Windsor (as far as I know, it's somewhere between the Windsor and the Ford garage, but on the other side of the road). I never had 4 star pizza so I don't know whether it is nice or not, but I have heard nice things.

    I wonder will PH do any damage to Dominos? I told my friends about Pizza Hut but none of them knew that there was one in Dundalk - it wasn't advertised/publicised much.

    A recent development on this is that Dominos have a guy standing across the Dublin Road from Pizza Hut at the bus shelter with a sign "10 euros for any sized pizza @ Dominos", he was there from 5-7 yesterday and again at 4pm today! Bet Pizza Hut aren't best pleased!
