Pizza night is hard to really hate, but the extras are what can turn it into a real treat. Choose sides and desserts wisely to accompany similar flavours on the pizza, not go against them.
Compatible with most pizzas – Ideas for Sides
Soft, salty and perfect for sharing – garlic dough balls! Top with grated parmesan (no more than 20g per person) or chilli flakes for a kick.
Rocket, cherry tomatoes and red onion simple side salad dressed with lemon juice mixed into a little olive oil. It provides a contrast to the creamy cheese, making for an overall light feeling.
Fries or wedges with the skin on: Great for a bit of seasoning (paprika, garlic salt) and perhaps some kind of dip on side.
Roast veg: Peppers, courgettes and mushrooms bring a smoky sweetness that work great with pepperoni. For a Pizza Restaurant Dublin, consider https://www.forno500.ie/
Dips that actually add something
Garlic, herb mayo: For bread and wedges.
Honey: Great honey already has some complexity and can add a nice sweet note to any pizza with or without other toppings, plus temper the sourness of an overly acidic tomato sauce. Spicy honey: This way you get that same sweetness on your next pie but there’s a hint of spice too that goes great with pepperoni, nduja or anything salty.
Ranch or blue cheese dressing: Best with BBQ chicken or hot wings-style toppings.
Marinara dip: Perfect for lovers of extra tomato flavour (and it’s not as heavy as creamy dips).
Sweet Snacks
Gelato or sorbet – Soft and cold
Chocolate Brownies – (for the best results, eat by putting some vanilla ice cream on top).
Cinnamon sugar dough bites – A sweet mouthful that remains true to the idea of “pizza night”
