    Can I just take a minute here to talk about my Pizza Issue?…read more I'm a woman of two worlds - on one hand raised on a diet of thick crust East Coast American pizza. Thick sauce, a little romano in the cheese mix. Don't mess with a great formula. On the other hand, my time in Ireland has brought about a new appreciation for pizza with a crust so thin Tyra Banks would want to cast in Season 1 of Ireland's Next Top Model. While my ongoing search for EU examples of the former have gone in vain... today I found an excellent specimen of the latter - baked in a wood fired oven on wheels no less! Encountered at the Point Village Market, Dick and Dave's pizza cart keep it real with a sourdough crust that's super thin to allow flash baking to work its magic. Toppings like chorizo and chilli, baked ham, mushrooms or anchovies, capers and olives are simple and simply good. The guys are fast, too. My ham and mushroom order when in and in less than ten minutes I was face to face with a seriously tasty lunch. Sure, they'd run out of ham by the time they got to my pie - but a quick confab with yours truly resolved the matter with a last- minute chorizo replacement. Takeaway box open, chilled diet cola at the ready, I began my feast. An ethereally light base (with a shade of pizza-appropriate char) supported scatterings of mild sauce, mozzarella, herbs and toppings. The crust tore between my teeth in bite after light, moist bite. So tasty, so light was the pizza that the whole thing was gone before I could comprehend how was it was being eaten. Prices on their lightweight menu ranges from €5-7, with water rocking up at €1.50 and cans of soda cropping up at €1 a pop (pun absolutely intended). Normally I'd take issue with a cart charging the better part of a tenner for four small slices, but I can appreciate the ingredients and work that goes into every pie that brilliant over on wheels turns out. Fair play fellas, see you at the next food market.

    I walked by the cart for the hundredth time today at the Point Village Market, and I saw that Dick…read morehas been removed from the marquee! Maybe a fallout at Electric Picnic broke them up? Well and so, Dave offered a daily special of pineapple, mozzarella, chilli and fresh coriander. I'm a sucker for pineapple pizza, and the sweet-hot flavour combination was a siren call. The thing about me is that in every meal, I'm fixated on getting the Perfect Bite. That means some of everything in the same bite. Like most pizzas this side of the Atlantic, topping distribution was aesthetically pleasing... in other words, nothing overlapped! (Fold the slice; problem solved.) Like Bridget said, it was ready in a flash. I loved the bubbly, crispy-chewy and flour-covered crust. The chillis gave me a kick in the tongue. The pineapples were lovely hot-grilly sweet. The mozzarella was a bit quiet (or maybe I just didn't taste it in my rush to finish before the rainstorm came). Another cool thing about the cart is the little pot of growing herbs they have on the counter: proof that everything they do is fresh. It's definitely a pizza worth coming back for- next time when I don't have to bolt it down for fear of being rained on!

    Sano had great pizza. Especially noticeable for being in a touristy area like Temple Bar…read more The pizza comes out fast, like 5-10 minutes after you order it, so don't be surprised. It's hot, flavorful, and the crust is done perfectly, not too thick or thin, crisp or doughy. Service isn't overwhelming, be ready to flag down your server if you need something...a refill or the check. Typical for here and that's ok, they leave you alone to enjoy your meal, and if you watch the locals, they aren't needy. I'd recommend this to anybody looking for a good Neapolitan pizza in Dublin.

    Delicious vegan Neapolitan-style pizza (4/5 Green Stars) Our…read moretrip to Sano Pizza was a bit of a blur in a rainy, boozy night but a memorable blur. I was thinking we wouldn't have time for a sit-down dinner but the pizza came out so fast that my concerns were allayed. Here's the complete, concise and abridged lowdown on Sano Pizza: Sano Pizza was founded by twins Ray and Tony McHugh (former owners of Chez Jules, decades ago) who were inspired by a trip to Naples. They imported two traditional stone ovens from Naples that allows them to cook pizza in 1.5 minutes at 500 degrees (Celcius!). Sano's Neapolitan-style pizza is made from a sourdough that's fermented for 2 days - producing a crust that's soft and chewy (and more digestible). Service at Sano Pizza is efficient and friendly - they were especially accommodating as we were in a rush. As we were leaving there were a lot of people waiting for tables, so get there early! I was impressed that there are two vegan pizza options. On the online menu there's one called Delizia d'Autunno (cream of pumpkin, mixed mushrooms, red semi-dried cherry tomato & truffle vegan mayo) but mine was different. It was simply called Vegan Pizza 2 on the menu, which didn't give me a lot of hope, to be honest. (The other pizza, revered online as the Delizia d'Autunno, was listed merely as Vegan Pizza 1.) But my pizza was fresh and delicious with lots of caramelized onions, fresh basil, courgette/zucchini, and - my fave part - potato! Let it be known that potato is a highly underrated pizza topping. If I'd had more than twenty seconds to peruse the menu I would have also noticed that any pizza can be made with vegan cheese for no extra charge! Next time, I want to try the vegan version of the Mediterranean pizza (tomato sugo, vegan cheese, grilled peppers, mushrooms, courgette, and finished with basil pesto). They also do a vegan panna cotta for dessert - something I would try next time, as it's rare to find a plant-based version. I'm giving Sano Pizza 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * There are many vegetarian pizzas on the menu, which can also be made vegan (vegan cheese instead of mozzarella) at no extra charge. This is a really nice touch - vegans are often charged more for these substitutions, as the vegan ingredients often do cost a bit more. This way, there's no disincentive to picking the more sustainable and ethical choice. I've tried many vegan cheeses (and also eat regular cheese sometimes) and thought that the kind they used worked very well on my pizza. * Also great to see that there were two dedicated vegan pizzas and even a vegan panna cotta for dessert. * As far a meat goes, Sano Pizza avoids those with the largest environmental footprints (beef and lamb) and uses mainly pork products (ham, salami). Same deal with fish, choosing anchovies and tuna instead of the more destructive crustaceans like shrimp. (Clarification: destructive, high-impact fishing methods; the crustaceans themselves are not destructive!) * Would be nice to see more beers on tap - draught beer, transported in reusable kegs has a much lower footprint compared to bottles or cans. * On packaging, from an Irish Times review of delivery pizza from Sano: "The pizza boxes are made from recycled cardboard and most of the other takeaway containers are biodegradable."
