    Pompeii pizza in Franciscan well on thursday nights - yummy.

    Pizzas my favourite food and four star is the tastiest I've had by far!

    Shame no one agrees with me :(

    Had a pizza from the volcano pizza stall in Mahon on Thursday and it was amazing. We're thinking of building our own wood fired oven this summer, if we get the weather for it.

    Funnily enough, I find Apache Pizza in Parchment Square the tastiest. It might be the fact that it's a tenner for a 15" that's tipping the scales though....

    I wouldn't say tastiest by far, but they are much better than Dominoes which don't taste right at all.

    My stomach is usually in bits after eating a Four Star Pizza the next day though.

    Four star is certainly the saltiest pizza going...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭Henry94


    The Rendezvous on Model Farm Road have set up a pizza take away and it's really good

    4 star is very nice I agree. Just not the nicest.

    I find Dominoes far worse.

    Yes it's excellent.

    man what happened to fast als, used to be great, just bought the slimiest smelliest rankest slice ever :(

    Yup, when Fast AL's first opened, it was - hands down - the best pizza in Cork.
    Now it really is rubbish only fit for drunks with no taste.
    It's a shame when greed destroys quality.
    I remember being in there in the early days and seeing Al hand kneading the dough. He didn't like the results from the dough hook!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,420 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    I got slice on the way home from the pub the other night (brother bought me it) , it was like cheese on toast it didn't even taste like pizza.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭rubicon99


    Heavens Pizza in Ballincollig is by far the best for me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    Novocento on McCurtain Street.
    Amazingly good pizza if you like the classic Italian version anyway.

    Has anyone tried Rising Sons?

    La Tana on barrack street, great pizza, wedges with garlic dip are insanely good. Uncle Petes are outstanding too.

    disagree on la tana - one should be able to eat pizza by the hand - la tana is more like an unwrapped kebab - or so i found anyway

    Yep, pizza there is pretty good. It's quite specific with the toppings though, so for fussy eaters it might be troublesome. They're also not very large, though the size was fine for me.

    As for best pizza in Cork I vote Fran well. Every pizza I've had there has been awesome, though I am yet to try the white one with potato which all my Italian friends rave about.

    Agree on that.

    As for this thread, it's like asking "What's the best colour" really! It's too subjective a topic and comes down to what people like...

    IMO Novecento is about the only place in Cork that does a "proper" pizza like the Italians do them. Nowhere else comes close IMO.

    But (as is normal with food topics in Ireland) not everyone sees that as being the best type of pizza! Some people prefer loads of toppings and thicker bases etc. etc.

    People go on about pizzas in Sober Lane being great.... but they are the type of things that you wouldnt get from a takeaway in Italy.

    An Italian friend of mine reckons the best pizza he has had in Cork is in La Dolce Vita near St. Fin Barres cathedral.

    Anyone ever tried there? Surprised there's no mention of it in the thread.

    yeah i had pizza there once but tbh I the only thing I can remember about it is that I had one with an italian sausage on it and it repeated on me allllll night long - nightmare - i was eating it for 24 hrs - probably no fault to the creator - i forgot that alot of those cured/fermented meats have this effects on me - like i cannot eat pepperoni/salami/chorizo etc for the same reason…

    so i do not remember what the actual pizza was like.. i wish i could say the same for the garlicky italian sausage,… shudder..:mad::eek:

    Have to say that La Dolce Vita (formerly Probys), does a great Pizza.

    Ya they do, its a proper stone oven too built by its predecessor The Brick Oven who also did a pretty good pizza.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,658 ✭✭✭Milly33


    You should stick a bar or poll on top of this thread so I can see whos winning properly. Was just looking going dya know a nice pizza out would be good but the thread is a bugger to read through.. Must say the nicest one I have had out is Del Arte in Mahon Point, in saying that I haven't gone out and ordered pizza for a main.. But you cant go wrong with theres


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭Sleephead


    Uncle petes and Novacento.

    Must try sober lane can you get a take away or delivery?

    Out of the places i have tried, Uncle Petes for me is always savage.

    Do they do take out from the place on Paul Street?

    I am sure they do, i thought i seen someone walk in having phoned ahead and picked it up.

    Thanks - Pope's Quay was handier when it was open but good to know if I'm stuck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,380 ✭✭✭.red.


    Is Lucianos still open on the grand parade. I havent been for a stroll around town in a long time but that used to be a pretty good pizza. It even tasted good the odd time i was in there sober.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭wonderboysam


    Anyone tried Apache in douglas? €9.99 for a large pizza :pac:

    It sucks. Toppings fall off as soon as you pull a slice. Undercooked processed muck.

    Dominos is much better if you are looking for a takeaway 'chain' pizza. Coupon code CLLG2015 will get you a large for a tenner too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,412 ✭✭✭Gamb!t


    Palmento Douglas is pretty good.

    I enjoyed La Dolce Vita for pizza a couple of days ago. Would recommend.

    Who actually gives a **** about this though? As long as it's tasty I really don't care how "authentic" it is.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 80 ✭✭28srf0c


    PizzAmore around Gilabbey street is actually quite decent! I thought it was an "Irish" style pizza place (massive thick doughy base, drenched in sauce and salt), but it's comparable to Novecento if you're into the "authentic" stuff.

    I have given La Tana a go twice now, won't go back. The pizza falls to pieces the second you pick it up. So soggy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,069 ✭✭✭sporina


    yeah Novecento is by far the best in the city - i need to rem to ask them to go easy on the cheese though..

    Had la Tana once and while it was nice I could not hold the slice in my hand as it would fall apart.. would not revisit..

    I wish Novecento did a 10 " though..

    I think that place is owned by the Italian guy who had the restaurant in the Mardyke complex for a while a couple of years ago. I'd imagine it's good alright.

    In fairness the general quality of pizza in the city has improved. I've had/seen decent pizzas in Rising Sons, Reardens, sober Lane recently.

    Agreed. I even had a pretty good pizza in the Woodford the other day, if you're into Italian style, thin bottom, not a lot of toppings type pizza I recommend it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 973 ✭✭✭eurokev


    rising sons. Really fresh and they give you tobassco sauce with it, yum. Pizza and a pint for a tenner too alot of the time, which is ridiculous value


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 879 ✭✭✭flo8s967qjh0nd


    +1 for novecento also. Great pizza.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40 Zuzi


    heya!

    about best pizza it really depends on your personal taste.
    From my side, I'm Italian, I would say that in the city center you should try Novecento, but you can just get in Douglas you will get the best of the best at Palmento.

    enjoy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,097 ✭✭✭Herb Powell


    I really love the pizza out the back of the Franciscan Well.

    Well worth the tenner and the queue.

    its nice but bery greasy - difficult to eat by hand and they only have a very small variety of toppings - but yes, essentially - the taste is good..
