Croft Alley in Portlaoise

Superior quality pizza. As Italian people, both my husband and I really enjoyed it. Admittedly we haven't had pizza often in Ireland but this is possibly the best one we had since moving here two years ago. Service was polite and quick even on a busy Friday night. We had a table outside but even in November the temperature was comfortable thanks to the heating lamps. Inside it was a bit too warm. Final bill was a deal for Irish standards.

Margherita pizza with their house made pesto is delicious! Perfect slices to fold & eat. Not too crunchy, soggy or greasy at all. Made for 2 happy NYers.

I ordered the carbonara! Safe to say there was no cream in it. The Guanciale was very tasty complimented by the Pecorino Romano. The portion wasn’t too big. Absolutely perfect. Washed down with a glass of Pinot Grigio. Finished off by a tiramisu. Simple tasty, well prepared high quality food. Can’t recommend enough.

Really nice atmosphere, pizzas are really good, had a coffee to finish off, one of the best coffee's I have ever had!

Always a favourite of mine! The pacing of service, the flavour and quality of the food, the professionalism of staff, just perfect. Staff are very attentive to customers and just very friendly. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Croft alley food is genuinely a little bit of Italy in Portlaoise- the food is as authentic as been in Rome or Florence, the pizza are just delicious and we love their in house Tiramisu (it’s all maybe even nicer than in Italy) Yes highly recommend Croft Alley in every way. Imelda and Joe

Great Pizza and service. Highly recommend

The girl taking the order on the phone didn't seem to know what was on the menu. She told me what I was ordering wasn't on the menu when it clearly was and I told her it was but she just kept saying it wasnt. I had to order something else. We told her when we got there to pick up our pizza and she didn't seem bothered. Very rude young girl that didn't seem bothered. We got 2 pizzas to share but they didn't cut them for some reason. Not ideal when you are in a car with no Cutlery and sharing. Like a pizza place that doesn't cut the pizza....crazy. As for the pizza itself, it was beautiful.

Everything about this experience was great. The starters were incredibly good value with garlic bread the size of a pizza and high quality bruschetta. The pizza itself was also extremely tasty - the dough in particular. The staff were super nice and helpful and the overall atmosphere (sitting outside) was very pleasant with flowers set up everywhere I looked.

Oh My god. The Pizza was to die for. I normally wouldn’t order pizza in a restaurant. I’m glad I did. The dessert was Devine. Service was excellent. Espically from a young lad. He is a credit to the place.. Attentive and pleasant. We dint wait long for the food. Some people told me. The food was expensive there. Me and my beautiful partner. Found it very reasonable. Great experience. Our new dining place
