    I had Firehouse again over the weekend and decided I like their toppings and base, but don't care much for their tomato sauce, which tastes to me like it could use more seasoning. Also tastes like they add onions to the sauce which makes me feel like vomiting personally, though others may feel differently!

    They have a few sauces you can choose from if you are feeling fancy:


    Classic Firehouse Pizza Sauce
    Smokey BBQ
    Creamy Peppercorn
    Satay
    Fajita
    Garlic Butter

    Oh god that reminds me of the time I got their fajita pizza. That was possibly one of the worst pizzas I'd even had, it just didn't work as a combination at all.

    Don't see how Independant Pizza in Drumcondra comes up as one of the best. Went there last week. Fairly standard, disappointing base, and taste lacking.

    I find most places don't do a good base and the overdo the cheese BIG time.

    Pizza Max are the nuts. They've a few places around Dublin now. Don't let the name throw you, they pizza the fvck out of things. Quality toppings, great base, lovely sauces. They do pretty good 'value meal' type deals with sides and things as well (Hungryman meal - 16" pizza all the toppings or variations etc you want, two sides, five dipping sauces, two drinks - 20 books). Great chicken goujons. Awesome wedges. Thin base with garlic sauce for preference, if you're taking recommendations. They're the business.

    Yeah, I don't get the buzz over Independent Pizza, either. Very average product but expensive for what it is. I think it was one of the first sit down pizza restaurants in Dublin, so maybe people think it's good based on nostalgia? I don't know.

    Paulies pizza near Grand Canal is really nice.

    I found it one of the worst pizzas I ever had, Clanbrassil Street branch, just bad quality.

    Pizza Max is absolute muck, easily the worst takeaway pizza I've had. Bases are like those pre-made ones that you buy in the supermarket. I'd rather have frozen pizza!

    I've had it a good few times as well, so it wasn't a once-off bad experience. An ex used to order it a lot from a branch near Cabra, and tried the Clanbrassil Street one a few months ago as well.

    Pizza max and Firehouse are absolutely awful. Although these doughy shabby style pizzas seem to appeal to certain people or they wouldn't be in business!
    I was in the Bath pub in Beggars Bush on Sat night and the pizzas you order at the bar come from Base pizza. Absolutely delicious. Crispy thin base and beautifully arranged.
    There's a place in Portmarnock too, the name escapes me, but they are the real deal, even got a write up in the Indo a while ago.

    I thought Base was absolute garbage. The base was awful, no flavour or colour, and the scant toppings were tasteless. I assume they are meant to be neapolitan style after reading their site but they neither look nor taste like the real deal.

    Never had good pizza in Dublin anywhere.

    You must be hard to satisfy. Try milanos, although they don't deliver. The 4 of us eating Base on Saturday rather enjoyed it, perhaps you got Base on an off day.

    definitely best in dublin, BY FAR...

    proper tiny autenthic italian pizza, u can get take away but they dont deliver
    and they also open at very weird times so youd be best to ring ahead before dropping in to get your pizza

    the menu is whatever fresh ingredients he has but theyre always amazing... well worth checkin out, based beside dublin castle

    Maybe they've changed but I always thought the Bath ordered their pizza from Paulie's Pizza alongside it?

    Best pizza I've had in Ireland. Thin base, fresh ingredients that are balanced just right. Pretty sure they deliver although I've only ever eaten in (very small seating area).

    (I love Da Mimmo, to eat in. I don't eat takeaways myself, but this thread is interesting because it has places like this on it, that do both takeaway and seated).

    I've never heard of Doppio Zero, just googling it now I see it's on Abbey St.
    Is it nice to sit in?

    Had Da Mimmo last night- not bad, best we've had so far in Dublin. Still not a great base tho but like I said, best so far

    My expert opinion... Get the flat bread from tesco, cover it with napolitana pasta sauce and grated mozarella on top. From there, it is up to you: olives, mushrooms, ham, chicken, sausage, whatever you like.

    It is cheaper than any take away, more expensive than godfellas, but by far the best pizza I have ever tried in Ireland.

    That's not what was asked.

    If anyone lives around St Anne's park, there's a food market on Saturdays and the pizza truck thing does really amazing thin crust pizzas. Had one the other day, yum.
