BoCo Clontarf sits on Vernon Avenue in Dublin, offering a casual neighbourhood spot for those who love wood-fired pizza. The restaurant is a short walk from the seafront, making it a handy choice for locals and visitors exploring the area.
The interior is straightforward and unfussy, with wooden tables and a relaxed, no-frills layout. It’s a space that feels designed for easy, informal meals, whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely evening with friends. The open kitchen, with its wood-fired oven, is a focal point, giving diners a glimpse of the pizza-making process.
The menu revolves around sourdough pizzas, cooked in a wood-fired oven to achieve a crisp base and smoky flavour. Toppings range from classic combinations to more inventive pairings, with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. Pizza toppings are varied, think smoked provola, nduja and roasted peppers, or a vodka sauce base with fior di latte, salami and jalapenos.
Alongside pizzas, there are a few small plates and sides, such as salads and dips, to round out the meal. Sides are essential, with options such as woodfired padron peppers with smoked sea salt or deep fried onion strings with buffalo garlic mayo. The drinks menu includes craft beers, wines, and soft drinks, adding flexibility for different dining preferences.
Takeaway is available for those who prefer to enjoy their pizzas at home. Bookings can be made online, and the restaurant caters to both walk-ins and reservations.
