La Papessa Pizza in Swords

Well holy moly. Had lunch in the deli last week and I was as full as a bus load of Italian tourists when i was leaving. I had the Buffon and it tasted like I was sitting in a little town square in Italy itself. The flavours were unbelievable, and the bread was to die for. Loved the chilled out vibe sitting in the sun, Definitely be back again!

Amazing people. Amazing pizza. Very accomodating. This is my favourite pizza place :)

After jumping off a flight at Dublin Airport and headed up North with 3 hungry passengers, it had to be a real deal Neapolitan pizza. A quick Google maps search uncovered La Papessa and it looked like the spot for us! As die-hard pizza fans (who also make our own wood-fired , sourdough pizzas at home on the regular) we weren’t disappointed. The service was super friendly, really nice owners. The dough was light as air, with a satisfying chew and the perfect char. The sauce was flavoursome yet delicate. The toppings were perfectly judged and of excellent quality. To top it all off, a complementary Nutella and Oreo pizza was hand delivered to our car as a little surprise treat (this is surely what heaven tastes like - no words!!) The perfect experience to end a wonderful family holiday. Thanks a million guys and seriously well done - we’ll be back on our next trip to Dublin.

Absolutely stunning food & service! Quality ingredients paired with excellent attention to detail served up by wonderfully kind staff. Got sandwiches & fritta both were exceptional with fresh authentic ingredients. If you haven’t tried this place yet it’s a must. My first but won’t be my last! Owner & his family was very kind also,lovely people.

Have had both the pizzas and sandwiches here and they are absolutely delicious. Great to have a business that cares about knocking out top quality food. I have recommended to all pur friends in the area. The service here is absolutely first class, really friendly people.

Great tasty pizza. What more could you ask for 😁

We ordered a pizza each and both were to die for. The parma ham was so delicate on mine and the salami/nuja on his the perfect kick. The dough itself is light and fluffy with a slight char. Being a Friday night the staff were up to their eyes with orders so naturally there was a bit of a wait, but well worth it. As we finished our pizzas one of the staff came over with a complimentary dessert, a sweetbread with Pistashio cream, heavenly! All staff were lovely. Couldn't fault anything. Looking forward to coming back :)

Best Pizza in Ireland. Better than most pizzas in Italy as well! Unreal

Haven’t had pizza and mushroom garlic bread like that since my visit to Naples in 2022. 👏👏👏👏👏

I was in a pinch with a dead phone battery, and the amazing staff let me charge it and have a seat while I was waiting! They were incredibly kind and friendly. Even though I didn't get to try their food this time, I was so delighted that I want to recommend them for their excellent service and friendly atmosphere! Thank you team.
