The best restaurantsof pizza & pasta in Tipperary

22/05/2025: Absolutely awful place. Frankly, the only reason a place like Prego in Clonmel even exists is because, sadly, we live in a town where people could eat garbage and still call it “lovely.” That probably explains the high ratings — either from people who have never had actual pizza (not even great pizza, just decent pizza), or from those with very low standards. Let’s start with the pizza itself. The dough is completely tasteless and has the consistency of old chewing gum. It’s clearly rolled with a pin (a massive no-no in pizza making), instead of being hand-stretched — which would give it proper elasticity and texture. But I doubt the owner has ever even heard of that. The tomato sauce tastes weird and industrial — like it's made from some generic brand. Honestly, even a 99-cent passata from Lidl would taste better. And as for quality brands like Mutti? That would probably be news to them — budget ingredients are clearly the standard here. The mozzarella? Of course, it's the cheapest, pre-shredded, bought-in-bulk stuff you can find. Real pizzerias use fresh mozzarella balls — sliced and laid on by hand. But that would require care and effort, so instead they just sprinkle the cheapest mix they can find. The toppings are no better — bland, low-grade vegetables and tasteless meat that add nothing but disappointment. To be honest, my wife and I regularly make pizza at home, in a basic oven that hits 300°C — and it’s a hundred times better than what we were served here. That’s why we never go back. It’s a waste of time waiting, and a waste of money paying for something so poorly made. It’s genuinely a shame. I’d rather pay more for something actually good — something that doesn’t make me regret the experience. But unfortunately, in a beautiful town like Clonmel, options like this leave me no choice.
