Best Takeaway in Ireland 2018

If you want to cut to the chase – the best takeaway in Ireland for 2018… it’s Firehouse Pizza in Ballymun.

Having opened in 2011, Firehouse offers a wide range of classic and very innovative gourmet pizzas to create a distinctive and contemporary eating style for you to enjoy at home (via).

They’re also experts when it comes to gluten free pizza delivery, with vegan and lactose-free mozzarella also available if you’re that way inclined.

Letterkenny in Donegal looks like a veritable hotbed of takeaway goodness with a solid representation among this year’s winners.
