    I had Capones chips for the first time last week. Jesus, they were savage; best chips I've had in Galway bar none. Proper Italian chipper chips. Serious nyomage:D

    tried a pizza from Pizza and Pasta Napoli beside Neachtains last night, unreal, hands down best pizza in Galway, authentically Italian based on the Italian guy making it. Prices very good too.

    Pizza Napoli is hands down the best pizza i've ever had

    They're quite nice actually, but very filling. I'd only go for a half-burrito if they have them.

    I don't get the number of people who've been saying that. I tasted it for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to say, I was really disappointed. I've had much nicer pizza elsewhere. Ray's New York Pizza beside the Central Bank in Dublin is a lot tastier. And I honestly think I preferred Ed's in Eyre Square when it was open.

    Has the chipper part of Apache (sp?) opened yet?
    I was looking at their breakfast menu last week and its the cheapest in town (veggie with all the bits for a fiver). Breakfast stops at ten or something so no no good for me.

    Eds was the best in Galway by a mile, id go there ahead of Napoli if it was still open, but the ones in Napoli are very good, far fresher and more authentic than the likes of Monroes with their burnt cheese top. The fresh pizzas are better than the slices too.

    It's really funny you said that... I spotted Rays in Dublin and we went in to grab a quick bite a while back after being at a gig before legging it West:)
    I had thought to myself 'mmm, slices, just like Napoli in Galway - yum'. Well I was reeeeally disappointed, no flavour at all in their plain pizza, and really dry. I had a bite of my friends (think it was pesto) one with extra stuff, and only marginally better. Their chips and dip was grand, but I think Napoli beats them hands down. The sauce on the pizza in Napoli is particularly good.

    I am still mourning Bianconi though...

    just had an 'after Roisin' Vinnies and seriously poor, cannot understand how anybody thinks its good. Got a mexican fries (average)and chicken fillet burger(or deep fried chicken burger from Dunnes), really poor and wont be going back again. Real let down given the rubbish some people say about it. Average at best and thats being very very fair.

    Ah man, you should have tried their Irish Breakfast or Pepperoni pizzas. Both were amazing...

    I don't go for the burgers or chicken. I always get sausages and chips. Their chips are lovely and the sausages are your typical chipper-types. Nothing gooey or messy.

    Trust me, Ed is the Pizza Chef.

    Edit:

    I'd suspected it for a while but it was only confirmed to me about 2 days ago by another American Chef, from New Jersey, who who would know Ed pretty well.

    Apparently he's been there since pretty much the day he closed his own place.

    When that place opened and the months following that, I was in there regularly and not once did I see Ed in there. It was always an Italian making the pizza.

    And what do you mean "suspected"? It's not like the pizza is made behind closed doors there. It's made in front of the customers. As I said, when I ate there, it was always an Italian guy.

    Just to confirm, Pizza Napoli is the place beside Neachtains, yeah?

    Suspected in that the crust and sauce are very like his were.

    As above, an American works there, that American is the pizza chef, his name is Ed, he's the former owner if Ed's New York Pizza, he's been there a fair while.

    for me, (I always raved about the kebab house), I have completely gone off it - can't eat there anymore. Not cause of the kebabs (used to be lovely) but because of certain staff. I have noticed one in particular being anything but hygenic - looks dirty, stands outside smoking, and on one occasion they 'blew their nose" into the sink by closing one nostril with a finger - you know the way - did not realise I was there - had to walk out of the place. Reallyl if you work in the food industry you should at least be hygenic.

    Chi in Westside is worth a mention. Not long open but it's got an Asian Tea House style menu and delivers which is handy for those of us outside the range of the Tea House.

    Many miles from your standard Chinese.
