Pizza Stop

Cheap and cheerful!
Have been to Pizza Stop loads of times and reckon I’ll be back soon. It’s unassuming, cosy, and feels like it’s off the beaten track — even though it’s just off Grafton Street. The food is always good whilst being not as pricey as in some other, comparable places. So, I am — and will continue to be — a fan.

What an amazing Italian experience! Just a short walk off the exceptionally busy Grafton Street, tucked away down a quiet lane it seemed as if it’s one of Dublins hidden gems and we were in for a treat!
We were greeted at the door by a lovely real Italian hostess who immediately made us feel like we were dining in Italy! What made him even more great was that he had spent a lot of time in Italy doing Wine tasting classes which of course to our delight meant we would be guaranteed a quality bottle of white wine with our meal. And we did!
For my meal I decided to skip starters and get straight in to the main course. With so many dishes and specials (the specials are showcased on a table in the middle of the restaurant which I thought was a very old traditional touch and it’s nice to have an idea what the specials look like) to choose from I was thorn between pizza and pasta but settled on the Stop pizza, my sister had ordered the Tagliatelle Salmone. The pizza had a thin base with I love and the sauce was just perfecto! The pizza and wine were both on point and we were delighted with our choice of the many Italian restaurants available in Dublin.
Highly recommend this restaurant, it has a real Italian feel to it with a friendly, cozy and personable service and of course great food! I’ll definitely be back!

I found this place by chance… it reminded of Amalfi coast a bit, pizza was good and so was the dessert.
You can get a nice deal, they also offer a gluten free version.

Tyler wanted pizza so we ended up here for lunch. Tyler ended up with a Calzone which he then proceeded to inhale. Mom & I split a veggie pizza and Randy got his own 12 inch with spinach and mushroom. The food was quite good but our waitress was struggling with the English language something I was not expecting in Dublin but ran into frequently– people come from other countries to Ireland to learn or practice English. Fascinating fact and says something about the city itself.

Pizza Stop is one of those checked-​table-​cloth, candles-​in-​chianti bottles typa places but the food really sets this place apart. The pizzas are a little taste of heaven and over the many years and many, many occasions I’ve happily pigged out here, it has remained consistently great. I think it’s the best pizza in Dublin.

No lunch menu, no athmosphere, restaurant was freezing had to leave our coats on during entire meal, cramped tables coffee lukewarm. Asked for tint bit of cheese pizza was full of cheese. AND INSULT TO INJURY 5%service charge added to bill. Avoid this place, lots of really good value restaurants in area that deserves the custom.

Very mixed opinion here. We sat down and ordered pizzas at this seemingly quaint little pizza place in an alley in a shopping district. Only then do we notice the a small fruit fly? Or related critter flying around us. We watch it land in the table next to us and see 4 – 5 other little guys crawling around the table. Pretty gross. But we have ordered so we stick it out. The pizzas come very quickly and were delicious. However the fact that I need to keep an eye on the table next to me for an attack, or ask my wife to wave her hand around her head because someone is circling for a landing, really takes away from the experience. It’s tough to know how many stars to penalize them for flies when everything else was great. The right answer of course is to get their pizza carry out if you can. Meanwhile people at the restaurant, get ride of the flies because they ruin an otherwise great restaurant.

So. This was a weird experience. My husband wanted pizza. No problem. Was slightly difficult on a Sunday night but we managed it. Place was cute. Pizza was thin and delicious. But everything was completely wrecked by the flies or gnats hanging around. Seriously. Only reason I made it through this dinner is because I am a former Marine and nothing much phases us. But how disgusting. Seriously. Clean your tables. How do you showcase your product when it is clear that cleanliness is not a priority in your restaurant? Ugh.

Gluten free pizza with a crispy crust? Uhh yeah I’m a fan!
Service was really nice and pizza, cola and a dessert ended up being 20 euro for 1 person not a bad price.
I’ll be back to try their gluten free pasta dishes for sure!!!

I would highly suggest Their pizzas and espresso and of corse their choclate cake (death by chocalatee). One thing that i did not like is that the place is abit small and its not that comfortable to move. But why not trying you may like the place, its more of the old restaurants in Milano. To me i would go again and again for their pizzas but not on a busy day.

I enjoyed a tasty Monday night dinner here with my beau
We both ate the steak dinner special and shared the antipasto as a starter.
Everything was served in a timely manner, prepared appropriately, and tasty to every satisfaction!
Weekly specials advertised (pizza, chicken, and steak main dishes) or the regular menu is in full swing as you might prefer.
We both took the recommendation from the chef to try his steak with a white wine cream sauce. The steak was then topped with mushrooms and lemon. Yum! The main dishes are served with a choice of chips, salad, or pasta. Being in an Italian restaurant, I just couldn’t turn down the pasta. I also love carbs– no shame!
The pasta and tomato sauce were just enough to satiate my caving without leaving me too over stuffed. I thought my steak was cooked to perfection (med rare) and the sauce was to die for. I would’ve licked my plate clean, but I do put forth lady-​like manners in public. :)
I saw several good-​looking pizzas go around the restaurant and the fresh Italian aromas filled the restaurant all night.
I felt looked after and treated like regulars (even on our first visit). The staff are friendly, polite, and willing to chat if you fancy a chat (on a slower part of the night of course).

If you want to travel back to 1982 visit this pizza restaurant. I don’t believe the décor or menu has changed in all that time, and why would it? It’s got the perfect kitschy Italian appeal. Italian and Italian American tracks played on the stereo, red and white check table cloths, candles in chianti bottles and the name!
I first read about this place in a Come Here to Me article*, apparently it’s the oldest operational pizza place. I was intrigued so I ventured out one freezing cold Tuesday evening with my boyfriend. It was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday so I’d say it does a good amount of business. The service was attentive, the pizza was delicious and the prices were decent. I wouldn’t say there’s anything outstanding about this place, everything is quite average but I’d recommend it just for the historic value alone.

Great Pizza! would definitely recommend! Prices are fantastic an staff are very friendly. good if you want a quick bite before hitting the shops!!!

If you want to experience the true flavour and texture of an Italian pizza, this is the place. My favourite is the Napoletana, dough cooked thin with a hint of crispiness and a base topping of oregano scented tomato paste and mozarella and then the real deal, capers and anchovies. Not to everyone’s taste, I’ll admit but when I get it, I ask for extra garlic and chilli and it sings, sweeter than Andrea Bocelli.

Canned minestrone, good crust, but a poor example of a margherita pizza. BIG downside was downer atmosphere created by staff and owner.

Pizzas are good albeit a bit heavy handed on the flour.
Décor is kitchy and cosy!
Staff are bit scattered and service is a bit hit and miss.
Price is about std: for 2 12 inch pizzas and half caraffe of house white the bill came to 39.27.
Don’t get me wrong I like the place but I did find the management a bit surly. I’m not enamoured with their house white selection but hey you get what you pay for. Are there better places yes but it’s a — ok too.

Love it! The only words I can say about it. Tucked away on Chatham Lane, it is never the first idea that springs to mind when you think off an Italian restaurant in Dublin.
Amazing food at a decent price not to mention the authentic Italian layout and vino bar. The staff are über friendly and really has the feel of an il ristorante Italiano.

Hands down the best pizza in Dublin. It’s a shame that the manager or owner here isn’t the nicest.
I was told to come here by my boyfriend’s old boss who used to work here and had been a professional waiter for years. He booked me and my boyfriend a table and told us that if we used his name, we would get the special treatment. But instead, we got hastily ushered to our table and someone shoved a menu into our hands. It was pretty aggressive.
Apart from the less-​than perfect welcome, the rest of the night went well. It’s hard to be grumpy when you have a beautiful cheese pie in front of you. I recommend the pizza with anchovies and a bottle of red wine. The food alone makes this place a winner.

Checkered tablecloths, Italian staff, bustling with people — Pizza Stop is a pretty good Italian restuarant. It’s a favourite with lots of my friends. As you’d guess from the name, it’s speciality is pizza and they’re very good. They’re great value too, with the most expensive coming in at about € 12. I had the meatballs last time I was there & they weren’t great, so think I’ll stick to the pizzas from now on.
Great for a midweek bite with friends.

This is one of my favourite places in Dublin to eat pizza, or even to eat Italian. It’s a really authentic Italian — Italian waiters, owned by and Italian and it almost feels like you’re in Lake Garda or somewhere.
They’re bruschetta is delicious and I can never resist the Isabella Rossellini or Show pizza, it’s delicious. Really thin base, which I love.
It’s quite cheap too — the pizzas are around € 11 and the pasta dishes are around € 10. There are 10 different pasta dishes to choose form, so between the pizza, pasta and main courses, you are pretty spoilt for choice!
This place is easily missed though — it’s down the lane directly opposite Steps of Rome.
