Pizza is one of those foods that almost everyone loves but not all pizza is created equal. There is a world of difference between a pizza that is just acceptable and one that is genuinely perfect. The difference comes down to a handful of things that most takeaways in Dublin either ignore or do not bother getting right.
At D12 Pizza, based at 137 Saint Peter’s Road, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, D12 NH66, we take every single one of those things seriously. Here is our honest breakdown of what makes a truly perfect pizza Dublin and how D12 Pizza delivers on every point.
It Starts with the Base
Every great pizza starts with a great base. The base needs to be the right thickness to hold the toppings without becoming soggy, it needs to be properly cooked so it has texture without being dry and it needs to have enough flavour of its own to complement rather than compete with the toppings.
At D12 Pizza every base is freshly prepared for each order. We do not use pre-made bases that have been sitting around. The freshness of the base is the foundation of everything else and it is one of the first things you notice when you bite into a D12 Pizza.
The Sauce Matters More Than You Think
The sauce is the layer that connects the base to the toppings and it is where a lot of takeaways fall short. A great pizza sauce needs to be flavourful without overpowering the toppings, it needs to be the right consistency so it does not make the base wet and it needs to be applied in the right amount so every bite has the right balance.
Our Margherita pizza, which uses just pizza sauce and mozzarella from €8.50, is a perfect example of how much the sauce matters. When the sauce is right, even the simplest pizza is exceptional.
Fresh Toppings Make All the Difference
The quality of the toppings is where you can really taste the difference between a great pizza and an average one. At D12 Pizza we use fresh ingredients across our full menu of 10 pizzas:
• Margherita: pizza sauce and mozzarella from €8.50
• Meat Lover: pepperoni, ham, bacon, meatballs and sausage from €11.50
• BBQ Beast: BBQ base, Cajun chicken, meatballs, onions and bell pepper from €11.50
• Desi Feast: onion, peppers, Cajun chicken, jalapeño and chili flakes from €11.50
• The King: pepperoni, bacon, meatballs, Cajun chicken, onions and taco drizzles from €11.50
• Double Pepperoni: double pepperoni in extra cheese from €11.50
• Hawaiian: ham and pineapple from €11.50
• Golden Bite: plain chicken, mushrooms, sweet corn and black olives from €11.50
• Vegetarian: mushroom, onion, tomatoes and peppers from €11.50
• The Kebab Pizza: doner meat, chicken, onions, garlic and chili sauce drizzle from €11.50
Whether it is the Cajun chicken on the BBQ Beast and the Desi Feast, the mozzarella on the Double Pepperoni or the vegetables on the Vegetarian, every topping is fresh and added to order.
The Right Amount of Cheese
Cheese is one of the most important elements of a great pizza and getting it right is not as simple as it sounds. Too little and the pizza feels dry and ungenerous. Too much and it overwhelms everything else. The right amount of cheese melts evenly, covers the whole pizza and brings everything together into a unified, satisfying bite.
The Double Pepperoni at D12 Pizza, which features double pepperoni in extra cheese from €11.50, is a great example of how extra cheese done properly elevates a pizza rather than weighing it down.
Cooked to Order: The Single Biggest Factor
Here is the honest truth about what makes or breaks a delivery pizza: the time between the oven and your door. A pizza that was made an hour ago and has been sitting in a box will never be as good as one that came out of the oven ten minutes ago.
At D12 Pizza every order is made fresh when you place it. That means by the time your pizza reaches your door it has come straight from our oven. The cheese is still melted, the base still has texture and the toppings are still at their best. This is the single biggest difference between D12 Pizza and a lot of other takeaways in Dublin.
Variety: A Perfect Pizza for Every Taste
A perfect pizza is also personal. What is perfect for one person might not be perfect for another. That is why having a genuine range of options matters. At D12 Pizza our menu of 10 freshly made pizzas covers:
• Classic lovers: Margherita from €8.50
• Meat fans: Meat Lover, The King, Double Pepperoni all from €11.50
• Spice seekers: Desi Feast, BBQ Beast from €11.50
• Light and fresh: Golden Bite from €11.50
• Meat-free: Vegetarian from €11.50
• Something unique: The Kebab Pizza from €11.50
Whatever perfect pizza means to you, D12 Pizza has the option that fits.
