A Horseshoe Place for a Pizza: Dublin Pub

Dublin Pub is one of our favorite places in Springfield to grab a regular horseshoe. We have been very loyal customers of Dublin for the good portion of the last five years. Dublin Pub recently upgraded to a larger size building and has also slightly retooled the menu. One of the newest additions to the menu is a Horseshoe Pizza. The horseshoe pizza has been around in Springfield for a few years now, but its not very well known around the town. (The Corner Pub has a fantastic version of the horseshoe pizza and it is very highly recommended) Once we discovered that Dublin had purchased a new pizza oven we couldn’t wait to try the new horseshoe pizza. We ordered both the Philly Cheese Steak and Buffalo Chicken horseshoe pizzas. Our expectations were through the roof as we anxiously awaited the arrival of the two delicacies. To our dismay, the pizzas were a complete disappointment from the start. We do need to explain that after having the Corner Pub’s version of the horseshoe pizza, the bar had been set very high.

The pizzas came with very few toppings and were absolutely nothing special. The Philly Cheese Steak horseshoe pizza had twelve fries on the entire pizza, and the Buffalo Chicken pizza wasn’t too much better. The cheese on the pizza had hardly any taste at all. Dublin Pub generally has a very flavorful cheese sauce on the actual horseshoes, but the cheese on the pizza was downright unacceptable in comparison. The meat on both of the pizzas was fair, however it was not nearly enough to save this meal. After we had our fill of the sub-par meal we were both very saddened. Dublin Pub is one of our personal favorite restaurants, and we were now forced to write a bad review about a restaurant that we had high hopes for. In the future we would like to come back and get an actual horseshoe from Dublin, but as of now the review for Dublin‘s horseshoe pizza is dismal.
