Pizzeria

Rathmines

About the restaurant

The idea of UNO is simple, to offer the number one pizza in Dublin, the very best traditional Neopolitan style pizza, using the best quality ingredients. Not only do we pride ourselves on our pizza, but also our passionate personable team who care about our product as much as we do!

We have a selection of Italian wines, cocktails and Moretti beer, tried and tested by ourselves of course, which go perfectly with our pizzas. As well as our pizza offerings, we have a range of bites, salads and sharing plates.

Dine in our first Dublin location in Rathmines and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere and upbeat tunes. Or chill with a cool Moretti at the bar while waiting for your takeaway. Or order online and have your Uno pizza delivered to your door!

Where there's dough, there's love...

The best pizza place in Dublin! Mortazza was delicious and so was the pear juice. It’s worth the price and the vibes early in the Friday’s evening were just of relaxation and chill. I bet they are packed later on but my experience was just pure pleasure all around. Thank you for the meal and I hope to come by soon for another pizza.

If you want delicious Italian food in a cozy, comfortable and friendly environment, Gigi is your place. We had the pasta special, the sea bream and the ribeye steak. Everything was delicious, and the best part of the whole evening was the great care that Andres, Ella & Hugh took to make our experience fantastic from start to finish. What a team! We love this place.
