Paulie’s Pizza

I resisted this place for so long as it’s close to my work and all my colleagues go here. Really, I resisted, I protested, avoided, came up with any other option, but really. Resistance is futile. Paulie’s is one the best pizza places in Dublin. It just is.
From delicious veggie options to the meat lovers options, Paulie’s has it all. And they just get it right. So, so right that you shouldn’t be a fool like I was for too long. Reserve yourself a table (yes, you absolutely need to reserve) and treat yourself to pizza done right. No need to add anymore, if you want good pizza, get it right here.

I love Paulie’s. Great food, always a lively bustling vibe and even a patio for warm summer nights (I know, it’s winter, but it’s never too early to plan ahead for next year!).
The pizza is obviously a highlight with a perfectly chewy crispy crust. The crust, to me, is everything and if you’re also obsessed with this in a pizza, I recommend the Bianca. It’s their white base pizza (no tomato sauce), topped with parmesan, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto & rocket. All their pizzas are great, but not having the moisture of the tomato sauce means the crust stays perfect through your entire meal.
I’ve also tried their pot of mussels and the prawn linguine, which was one of the daily specials. They were also good, although the pasta was under-​seasoned. I didn’t mind that because we were able to easily troubleshoot and remedy that with salt at the table.
As other reviewers have mentioned, they do get VERY busy and the service a bit slow. Make a reservation and don’t go if you’re in a rush to be somewhere afterwards.
One last thing — finish your meal with an espresso martini. It was amazing.

I came here the other night, without reservation, so i sat at the bar. Staffs were very friendly, especially the bar tender, she made really good mojito for me. The starter was a special, fied ray wings, very nice, however, the pizza was not that good though, the bread base was burned, and there is no flaver balance on meat and source at all.

Steamed mussels, the best I’ve ever had and wayyyy better than my dad’s!

Really
and very friendly staff. The place is kind of. small so didn’t get to sit but there takeout was very quick. The pizza was very fresh, went with one of their specials and it was very tasty.

Excellent Italian in Dublin. From US, St. Louis area, eaten on the hill authentic excellent Italian all my life, so I know good Italian. Fun, creative, yummy cocktails too. I recommend the Rosey Stones dessert cocktail.

Some of the best pizza in town! You will need to book a table in order to get a taste, as this place is busy busy! They do charge quite high for pizza, but it is quite good as well and you can get craft beers with your tasty pizza. They always have specials, so check those out first. If you can’t finsih you pizza, just ask for a box and get the pleasure of having a tasty late night snak!

Definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Ingredients are fresh and imported from Italy, according to our waitress. Service is really quick, so make sure to put in your appetizers prior to your main meal.
If you’re in Dublin, you have to have a pie at Paulie’s.

Paulie’s pizza is one of the best pizza places I’ve ever had. The dough/​crust is just amazing.
Call in ahead to get some reserved seating (or show up and leave it to luck to see if someone missed their reservation). However, if you’re just getting takeaway, they can have a pizza ready for you in five minutes! Awesome.
I always go for the super picante (yum) since I need a bit of spice — there’s pasta and calzone too if you’re not feeling like pizza.
They have Brewdog Punk IPA as well!

Had the gambas bruschetta starter special and it was just amazing. The prawns were very meaty, so it was rewarding to open them up! Their pizza was good, but the crust was a bit burned in parts and the amount of basil in my marguerita pizza was disappointing. Still, the staff was very attentive and even gave us a call when our table was ready (we had to wait since the place was packed).
Overall a good experience, would return!

Great service. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The pizza base wasn’t really all that thin which led to a bit of a carb overload. Maybe I’m fussy but I like a very thin base. However the servings were very generous both with the pizza toppings and with the meals that were ordered around the table.
Not sure I would be in a great hurry to go back here but I seem alone in this thinking. The place became packed very quickly and I had to book a while in advance. The interiors are very nice but the tables are very close together and it got quick loud.

Paulie’s pizza is delicious! I ordered this for a work training session through
, who deliver gourmet food around the city from various vendors! I ordered about 12 various pizzas and they arrived perfectly hot.
The pizzas definitely looked great and were very tasty, so if you are looking for more than your average pizza, you should definitely give Paulie’s a try.

I came here with family for a great dinner. The pizzas were great, we had the Greek/​Mediterranean and the vegetarian. They kindly obliged to put extra eggplant in place of the red pepper as per my request. Good quality ingredients. For dessert, we tried the affagato– the presentation could be amped up here… Just ice cream and espresso in a coffee cup. We need the clear glass with the gelato at the bottom and espresso on top. The tiramisu was great.
A little expensive, but that’s Dublin. Staff were friendly and wonderful. Crowded so make reservations or call in ahead.

Love love love love love. There is no better option for a great food experience than Paulie’s when it comes to pizza.
Large groups, dates, families — it’s perfect for anyone looking for amazing Italian food and really fun environment.
I went with a large party and we got loads of food and cocktails. Paulie’s staff was on point and were pleasant to interact with. Large groups can be stressful, but it was no sweat for them!
The jugs of cocktails are so scrumptious and are only 26 Euro. They serve 6 glasses! They’re not boring cocktails either — Elderflower Collins, raspberry mojitos, Long Islands, Pineapple Express. All were really good — and strong if you’re into it!
The food was nothing short of mouth watering. The meatballs were soaked in the tomato sauce and topped with cheese — the meat was so juicy! The best. I had the prawn pasta special, pappardelle chorizo dish, and the super picante pizza. Did I mention I shared this? You need to so you can try as many items as possible!

I had heard the rumors and the rumors were true– this place is gooood! I actually went here for the first time the day Ireland played France in the Six Nations. Even though the place was packed we managed to get a table for three within 20 minutes. The staff were extremely courteous. We sat for a drink at the bar upstairs. I ordered a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu and the bar tender was still happy to make it. Most importantly it also tasted great!
We ordered the mussels to start which in itself would have been a full meal for one person. Then you have to order the pizza. Great selection of freshly made stone based pizza’s. I could only eat half as I was already extremely full but brought it home and finished it off the next day. Can’t wait to go back– wish it was closer to city centre!

I am Italian and I had quit ordering pizzas at restaurants in Dublin. The prices comparing to the quality are way too high everywhere for my standards of good pizzas.
Anyways, I was seduced to try Paulie’s pizza by a friend of mine (italian as well and very reliable in terms of food taste), so we went together on a busy saturday night.
Both the service and the food were excellent. We had a bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella to share and 2 pizzas.
It was about time for me to find a well-​worth pizza here. Paulie’s would be my only choice everytime i will fancy an original Pizza in Dublin. highly recommended!

This is a great place for a local dish pizza. We ordered the spicy Italian pizza called the Spicy Picante but asked for the peppers on the side because we were afraid it would be too spicy!
The place is small so be prepared not to talk about anything clandestine.
The waitress staff is real friendly and the service is quick.
They have a fire oven so any pizza that your order has that smokey taste.

Ive been waiting to go to this place for ages due to all the positive word of mouth and it absolutely met all my expectations.
The pizza was really quickly made and delicious, probably my favourite in dublin. The toppings were so well done and the base divine. I took some of the pizza home with me and it was almost as good the day after! Very reasonable price too.

I’ve been wanting to try paulies since 2011, expectations were high.
And boy was it worth the wait. I’m a major pizza fan and I always complain that outside of Italy people don’t know how to make pizza. I sincerely apologise. Paulies you are a dream come true my pizza was amazing and perfect.
The crust was crispy and thin yet reliable. You could taste the sauce and it just did this beautiful dance with the cheese which effortlessly complimented the parma ham.
As if that wasn’t amazing enough my friend paid for dinner so I mean it was pretty much the best meal ever!
The atmosphere was great I imagine it would be a great place for a date.

Well, what more can be said that hasn’t been?
The pizzas are absolutely delicous, ain’t no doubt about it. High quality toppings, well thought out combinations and excellent crust (if a little burnt for me, though some people seem to like that)
The vibe is also spot on — nicely candlelit tables, intimate settings but still a casual feeling to it all.
Service was very hit and miss. They were busy, fair enough, but aren’t they always? The pizzas came straight away, but after that, we must have been waiting half an hour to get our desert menus, another 20 mins to get our bill. Both waiter and waitress were super sound and I could see they were really rushed, but the service really did put a little bit of a dampner on it. Pretty much everything I asked for, from water to desert to the bill, had to be asked for a min of twice.
Either way, I’m sure I’ll be back, it’s a lovely spot. Not entirely sure it deserves the top spot in Dublin for pizza buzz, but it’s up there for sure!
