While visiting Dublin we decided to try something close to our hotel other than the restaurant at…read morethe hotel. We went by Paulie's Pizza & the place was packed. Which is a good sign. They had no availability so we made a reservation for later on in the evening. When we returned at our scheduled time the place was still packed & we were seated upstairs. The place was loud & crowded with 2 different birthday parties going on upstairs. We decided to stay since we were hungry. We ordered drinks & looked over the menu. Our orders included the SLOW-BRAISED BEEF BOLOGNESE, FRESH TAGLIATELLE PUTANESCA & the NEW YORK PIZZA. The food was absolutely delicious! The Bolognese was meaty with just the right combination of ingredients. The PUTANESCA had the perfect combination of salty goodness (thanks to the capers & olives) that made the dish pop with flavor. Hubby has a dairy allergy so we shared the New York pizza without cheese with extra sauce. This was the absolute 1st time we've ever had the amount of sauce they put this pizza & it was perfect. The extra sauce helped to keep the crust from drying out during the cooking process so we were excited to actually see this. (Extra sauce in this amount is a rarity in most places we've been to) Paulie's staff members were ALL extremely friendly & polite helping to make the loud experience much better. As a group we decided this had been one of the absolute best meals we had eaten during our visit to Dublin. The flavors truly exploded in our mouths making each bite a delicious experience we were sad to see come to an end. If you are looking for some great Italian food during your time in Dublin give Paulie's a try! We don't t think you'll be disappointed.

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!

Also, they have a wholewheat based pizza. WHOLEWHEAT. I can barely find restaurants that serve wholewheat pasta, and these guys come in with their wholewheat base pizza. Amazing!

Best idea ever ! 1* For the place : Located on Lower Kilmacud road, facing the Stillorgan shopping centre, you open the door to a staircase that leads to the restaurant. The place is huge, with a view on the cool kitchen. It looks like I have travelled to Italy in a blink of an eye ! On the walls, old metallic advertising board given by the previous Italian pub that was there. On th ceiling above our table we can see a gigantic wooden spoon and fork. Why not? 1* For the food : as a starter I had a tomoto & mozarella plate with green pesto, and that was wonderful ! Fresh and tasty. Nom nom... He chose the chicken wings with extra garlic sauce and pepper served by our waiter from a ginormous wooden pepper mill ! As a main I had a ham-artichoke-tomato-mozarella pizza, and he had a spicy diavolo pizza. We honestly were starving but we only managed to get through to half of our respective pizza ! 1* For the service : The staff was unbelievably nice. I couldn't help smiling from start to finish. David, our Italian waiter, was the best ! The food was served really fast, so were the drinks. We never had to think of asking for anything, David was a magician ! He was incredibly sweet too. We left him a well deserved tip. 2* For the overall experience : This is my new pizza place ! I know this is crazy, but everything was so perfect I cannot think of words to describe how well the evening went. I need to add that the price is very reasonable for an amazing quality ! And... they deliver :D We will probably meet there. Leave me your impressions and let me know should you have questions, I will get back to you asap ! ;)

Wine menu offers a good affordable and drinkable selection, available by the glass as well as the bottle, house wine is very palatable in my opinion, unlike the muck they serve in some places! Pastas are pretty standard, but I am not a big pasta fan to start off with! There is a good selection of pizza with some interesting topping choices.

Maybe if I break it down into sections it'll help: - Staff 11/10 - Decor and ambience 12/10 - Food 13/10 Eating at The Revolution is like eating at your best friends house, except the food is ten times better. I felt so comfortable being there, from the naturally warmed room due to the open pizza oven to the funky selection of music, my visit was a good one. I met Paul there, the owner, and he could not have been more helpful. It was obvious he knew the menu inside out and was able to rattle off some great info about what accompanying beers would suit my food choice. I know this sounds cliché but I honestly couldn't choose from the menu because there was so much I wanted. In the end (after a few games of rock paper scissors with myself) I decided to get a main course AND a 'big bite' which looked, in terms of portion size, like something between a starter and a main which I thought was a really cool idea. You could choose from this list if you were a bit hungry but not starving. I was starving though so I ordered the mac & cheese with smoked chorizo. Sweet merciful jesus it was one of the nicest things I've ever eaten. Thinking about it now makes me want to throw my laptop on the floor and sprint back for another taste. For main I ordered a pizza with caramelized onions, bbq dressing and pulled pork. Yes you might read pulled pork and say in a whiny voice 'oh wow pulled pork, how original', well it was. Just like you and everyone else, I've had my fair share of pulled pork over the last year but this stuff was beyond tasty. I'd almost ring them up and get them to change the menu to 'super special pulled pork' as it would be more apt. As you can probably tell by now I enjoyed the pizza a lot. I also thought it was a really nice touch that you could see the chef making the pizza from scratch and cooking it right in front of you. For busier times there's even a cool bar counter area right in front of the stone oven pizza with high stools where you can watch the dishes being created, almost like a live episode of Masterchef (but with better chefs and food). I've been there and I've been back and I'll go back again. This is what a real revolution looks like.

The employees were friendly and it was fun watching them make all the pizzas. I look forward to ordering another pizza when I am back in the area.
