Lady Fire Slice is very accommodating, very personable, makes fantastic and delicious pizzas. You cannot lose by ordering here.
So to get this out of the way... Lady Fire Slice doesn't do pineapple. Love or hate it, and wifey does. But she is so accommodating, and because wifey brought pineapple chunks along was quite happy to add the toppings to her pizza.
Wifey had the Ham, mushroom and cheese with extra pineapple. And although it's not everyone's tea, hubby has to admit it works rather well with ham and cheese pizza.
Hubby went with the classic pepperoni pizza. And really liked the flavours, really tasty. This pace does some great pizzas, you'll get no complaints there.
There are some minor inconveniences... Which boil down to its a pizza truck and the limits there. Which means eating it hot and order ahead of time is the only way to do it. We live 25 minutes away, and food doesn't last, it wasn't the same when we got home. No fault on Fire Slice, but is something to think about.
Because the truck was behind the Bridge st bar, there just wasn't any good place to sit and eat. So home needs to be close by.
Secondly you need to order in advance as a artisanal pizza needs time. We recommend turning up to collect, to ensure it's hot and fresh. Also it is worth noting that keeping a pizza hot is just as difficult, so being punctual is a must too.
All in all, you'd be missing a treat it you didn't try pizzas here. And if you must with pineapple you need to bring your own.
On a personal note, deep pan pizzas are the best. I miss those, but everyone loves stone baked thin crusts, and I understand why... But hope deeppans come back.

PizzaTasty food
Been a customer of Valerie's for a few years, when we get to see her in Castlebar we always make it a point to order from her.
The smells of the wood fire billow around the van and then your hit with the smell of the dough baking. It's such a treat.
Even on the busiest day always been professional always top class food and a smile and a bit of chat for everyone who is there.
Wonderful pizza and quality dough that really packs a punch in flavour thanks to the wood fire.
You will not be disappointed
