National Pizza Day sorted: These Mayo restaurants have everything you need

National Pizza Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate the very best pizza in Mayo – and two Italian legends stand proudly at the top: Al Muretto and Il Vulcano.

If you’re serious about pizza, you already know the difference a proper Italian kitchen makes. Both Al Muretto and Il Vulcano serve what many locals (and tourists!) call the best pizza in the county – classic Italian style, thin base, perfectly baked, 12-inch pizzas loaded with quality toppings.

Whether you’re a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or somewhere in between, there’s an option for everyone, made with care and real Italian know-how.

These are not newcomers chasing trends. Al Muretto has been family-run since 1998, while Il Vulcano has been welcoming guests since 2003. That’s over 20 years of consistency, quality, and loyal customers — a true testament to how good the food and service really are.

Both restaurants are open every single day, serving locals, visitors, families, couples, and groups alike.

While pizza is the star of the show, the menus don’t stop there. You’ll also find delicious pasta dishes, satisfying main courses, and indulgent desserts — including the famous Italian classic, tiramisu, that’s the perfect way to finish your meal.

Both restaurants are ideal for big parties, family celebrations, romantic dinners (Valentine’s Day included!), or just a casual night out. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are friendly and professional, and the setting is family-friendly while still perfect for a cosy, romantic evening.

Short on time? No problem. Takeaway and delivery are available every day, and you can easily order online through their websites.

Delivery & takeaway hours: open daily from 4–10pm, with Al Muretto open from 1–10pm on Sundays.

This National Pizza Day, do yourself a favour — support long-standing local businesses, bring your friends or family, and discover why Al Muretto and Il Vulcano have built such a trusted name over the past two decades.

Come and taste the best pizza in Mayo. You won’t be disappointed.
