New Restaurant Takes Pizza To The Extreme In Kilkenny

Kilkenny Advertiser:

Extreme Pizza, one of the fastest-growing pizza companies in the US, is opening its first-ever European store on Barrack Street, Kilkenny on Friday April 4, creating 18 new jobs in the area.

Run by local owner, Carla Feely, a native Californian who has been living in Ireland for the past 5 years, Extreme Pizza offers daring combinations of fresh pizza with creative names such as ‘Holy Cow’, ‘Peace in the Middle East’, ‘Kickin’ Chicken’ and a vegetarian feast called ‘Drag It Thru’ The Garden’.

Customers can choose to enjoy their pizza in several new ways – either they can swing by the restaurant for a custom slice that is freshly baked in just 3 minutes, order a home delivery or ‘take-and-bake-it’ – the option that allows you to pick up a raw Extreme Pizza of your choice and bake it at home whenever you are ready for your fresh, hot pizza.

But for the ultimate night out, pizza lovers should check out the hip new Extreme Pizza restaurant (No 8 The Arches on Barrack Street) which is clad with Extreme Sports photos – a testament to the pastime of the founders.

The first gourmet pizza restaurant of its kind in Kilkenny, Extreme Pizza has scooped several awards in its hometown of San Francisco, California where the franchise was founded over 14 years ago.

Carla Feely, who has set up the franchise’s first ever store outside the US in Kilkenny, said offering fresh ingredients and convenience is key to its success. Read more.
