TWO of Galway’s most esteemed culinary establishments have joined forces to create the ultimate pizza.
Michelin-starred chef Jp McMahon has joined up with The Dough Bros to create a special edition Bolognese pizza.
The collaboration takes the classic Italian meat sauce and teams it with Irish artisan and foraged ingredients to create a tasty twist on the classic.
“Bolognese sauce has a special place in my heart,” McMahon, of the city’s Aniar Restaurant, says.
“From the very first time I had it when I was young, it retains a magical aspect in my culinary imagination.”

Founded in 2013 by brothers Eugene and Ronan Greaney, the multiple award-winning business has boomed over the years and the pair’s pizzas have been ranked among the best in the world.
