Tiger Wood Fire Pizza - Rathmines & Deansgrange
Home of the Sour Dough Pizza
Here at Tiger we are dedicated to taste. Total quality unadulterated taste sensations!! Our founder Tadhg has spent years travelling back and forth to Italy learning traditional Romano & Neapolitano cooking techniques, sourcing the best quality ingredients and honing his taste buds to bring you the pizzas that dreams ar
e made of. Why, you ask, is Tiger Wood Fire Pizza better than the rest? Well the proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating…. but before you take a bite and get hooked I can tell you a few of our secrets that go a long way toward making the magic happen. Our dough is created daily from OO flour mixed into a live polish starter which is ideal for the fermentation of dough. We use this starter and mix into a firm dough to prove for 48 hours which is perfect timing for taste and freshness. Then we hand roll the dough into individual dough balls ready to use. We stole this technique from the traditional Italian Neapolitano Pizza Aioli (chefs), don’t tell anyone or we’ll get in trouble! Next we blend our own tomato sauce. We use the highest quality Italian tomato’s mixed with just the right blend of fresh herbs and spices that really bring out the flavour. The sauce cooks on its base in our Wood Fire oven. Cooking the sauce once on the dough gives the pizza its full mouth-watering tomato taste. We use only the finest ingredients for our toppings, hand selected Italian meats sourced from Naples, 60% milk mozzarella and locally grown fresh and organic produce all add to creating the taste sensation that is a Tiger Wood Fire Pizza. To finish we have to mention our Wood Fire Oven, we use 2 year kiln dried oak and beech adding flavour and reaching temperatures of over 400 degrees!!! Now that’s hot, you’ll feel the heat if you come in and visit us. Each pizza cooks in minutes giving that fresh Wood Fired taste that only an authentic wood burning oven can achieve! So there you have it - years of knowledge, tradition and craft along with our dedication to quality, taste and freshness delivers a pizza that tastes simply bellissimo!!!!!
