We ALL know that feeling well on a Friday night; feeling so worn out with exhaustion that the mere thought of cooking a meal for yourself makes you want to shed a tear. "I didn't work all week to deal with this," you think, wearingly. That is where the 'backup plan' comes into place. The backup plan being, having something on hand that is restaurant quality delicious, that you can prepare at home, requiring minimal effort from you.

That let's be honest, that 'something' is always pizza – at least when it's this close to the weekend. Unfollow anyone on social who is willing to dispute that – you don't need that kind of negativity in your life, tbh.   

Thankfully, Milanos are here to bring you that Friday feeling with their newest additions to their supermarket (and very budget-friendly) pizza range (why yes, you can buy Milano goodness to cook at home), including an out-of-this-world American pizza (€5.69). It originates from a signature restaurant recipe (so you know it's going to taste GOOD), made with pepperoni, mozzarella and Milano’s famous passata. In one word: heavenly. 

You can also get their Pollo Ad astra (€5.69), a classic pizza base topped with chicken, Peppadew™ peppers, Cajun spice and mozzarella. Did you know that this one is already a staple on the Milano restaurant menu? This recipe has been perfectly crafted so you can love and enjoy it when you're just too tired to leave the house. 

Their supermarket range now also has more products should you want a little something on the side (so to speak), including three new salad dressings, House, House Light and Caesar, all at €3 each. This will be additions to the fan-favourites in the range, from the scrumptious dough balls which we always need more of (€2.99) and Milano classic pizzas, Margherita and Sloppy Giuseppe. 

Milano’s new (and very tasty) retail product range is now available selected Tesco stores nationwide.

Why not treat yo-self? You deserve it.

Have you ever wanted a good excuse to have to avoid cooking? Well, thanks to Deliveroo your prayers have been answered.

The last thing you want to do on the weekend is slave away in the kitchen like Cinderella. We can't help but daydream about going out for brunch or dining at that fancy new Italian restaurant your colleague has been raving about, but sadly our bank accounts won’t allow it.

Luckily, Deliveroo is offering free delivery across all restaurants this Friday and Saturday.

Hallelujah!

Every restaurant on Deliveroo in Ireland will be taking part in this special free delivery deal across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Belfast over the two days.

Liam Cox, General Manager of Deliveroo Ireland shared: “We’re thrilled to be able to give our loyal customers the opportunity to take advantage of our free delivery offer."

He hopes this offer will encourage people to try new food: “I'm hoping this will encourage more people to want to try out some of their favourite local delicacies, so there’s no reason not to indulge!”

We will certainly be treating ourselves this weekend thanks to Deliveroo.

Why not make the most of this offer and gather up your friends for a night-in. You could all order your favourite dish and share with one another, that way everyone can try something different, whether that’s a gourmet burger or some salmon and avocado sushi.

Among the many exciting European cities I have been lucky enough to visit, Rome holds a special place in my heart.

Aesthetically, it is one of the most beautiful places you will ever get to see; culturally, you can discover some truly incredible artwork, feeling like you are walking in an open air museum; foodwise, it offers some of the best food you could dream of.

While the offer is overabundant and overall quite affordable, here are some tried and tested places we seriously recommend if you are planning a trip to the Italian capital this summer.

1. Matricianella

 

A post shared by Elodie Noël (@elodienoel) on

A few steps from the Borghese Palace, Matricianella is an old trattoria with checked tablecloths, black-and-white-dressed waiters and a menu that will make you drool.

Go for the Taglioni al tartuffo (the truffle pasta), they are a proper masterpiece.

2. Trattoria Da Teo

 

A post shared by Chriselle Lim   (@chrisellelim) on

Located in the gorgeous neighbourhood of Trastevere, this small eatery offers the most typically Roman experience.

Get a table outside and order some pasta, it will probably be the best ones you have ever tasted – we particularly recommend the Spaghetti alle Vongole. 

3. Pizzeria Ostiense

Roman pizzas are quite different to the thick doughy Neapolitan-style pizza we are mostly used to. Paper-thin, with simple yet tasty topping, it makes for a whole new pizza experience.

In the hip neighbourhood of Testaccio, we recommend Pizzeria Ostiense, loved by the locals. You are in for a treat!

4. Giolitti

 

A post shared by (@zaychiky) on

Open since 1900, this gelateria can be considered a landmark at that stage and some consider it the best one in Rome. 

Don't be repelled by the queue and the absolute mayhem inside the shop. Your ice-cream will be 100% worth it.

5. Al Moro

 

A post shared by (@lalvani) on

Located near the Trevi Fountain, Al Moro is a high-end, 1920s wood-paneled restaurant with a classic Roman menu.

Offering excellent traditional and seasonal dishes, this historic eatery will provide a fabulous Roman experience. 

6. Pasticceria Regoli

 

A post shared by Ken Loh (@ken_loh) on

This family run pastry shop has been serving sweet delicacies since 1916 and is a highly popular shop among the Romans.

Get a selection of pastries and unapologetically make a meal out of it, you won't regret it!

This is not a drill!

An actual nutritionist said we can have pizza for breakfast and it's like all our childhood dreams have come true at once.

Speaking to The Daily Meal, registered dietician, Chelsey Amer, explained that when it comes to nutritional value, the take-away favourite actually trumps a number of more traditional breakfast dishes.

“You may be surprised to find out that an average slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain nearly the same amount of calories,” she said.

“However, pizza packs a much larger protein punch, which will keep you full and boost satiety throughout the morning.”

“Plus, a slice of pizza contains more fat and much less sugar than most cold cereals, so you will not experience a quick sugar crash.”

It just gets better and better!

However, it's worth noting that these stats apply to a single slice; and let's be real, no one ever stops at just one slice.

Chelsey also admits that while it may have some nutritional benefits, pizza isn't exactly what you'd call a healthy food and should not be considered a regular alternative.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to what types of pizzas/ cereals you're consuming.

Obviously, a bowl full of added sugar and E numbers isn't exactly the healthiest choice, but neither is a fat-filled cheese fest – it's all about finding the right balance.

Speaking to The Independent, Harley Street nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert explained:

“If we’re talking about a big greasy pizza ordered online then it’s probably not the most well balanced meal to eat for breakfast,” explains Lambert, who has a healthy pizza alternative in her book Re-Nourish: A Simple Way To Eat Well. 

“However, as mentioned, pizzas can be a healthy balance of carbs, fats and protein so as long as it doesn't contain unhealthy additives, who’s to say we can’t eat pizza for breakfast?”

Best news we've heard all year!

Sometimes, the greatest gift is the one you didn't even realise you needed. 

That brings us to the latest Internet offering in the form of a sex toy… that can order you PIZZA. 

Seriously though, this snazzy new vibrator, made by CamSoda, which is primarily a webcam and XXX VR company, is called the RubGrub. V good, yes. 

The RubGrub is a vibrator that will order you a pizza from Domino’s after you…get busy.

According to a press release by CamSoda, the RubGrub has “an Internet connected button that is affixed on the end of the vibrator. The button has payment/delivery and order information, which is programmed into it at the time of purchase and connects to Domino’s through its pizza-ordering API.

"When a user is done ‘using’ the vibrator, they push the button, which places a delivery order for a large cheese pizza.”

The company also mentioned that it plans to add more restaurant chains in the next few months, so if you crave Indian food or pasta – you'll soon have your wish.

The RubGrub does require that you set up your billing and delivery information one time on their app, naturally. 

After that though, pepperoni with extra cheese is just the push of a button away. 

This groundbreaking device is currently only available in the U.S (for just $19.95, we might add) but hopefully something like this will make its way across pond pronto.

Today is National Pizza Day – one of the most important holidays of the year in our opinion.

Anyway, in celebration of this fine, fine day – we hit the streets of Dublin to sample the best of the best. 

5 restaurants, 12 pizzas and a SERIOUS food coma later – and here we are! 

Let us know what you think! 

1. Big Blue Bus

The Big Blue Bus is a 1979 double decker bus converted into a pizza restaurant based at the Bernard Shaw, 11-12 Richmond Street, Dublin. The Big Blue Bus is open 7 days a week.

The Big Blue Bus bakes delicious gourmet stone pizza, garlic bread, bruschetta, desserts, Moroccan teas and more. The Big Blue Bus also offers shisha pipes for that little something different.

The Bus is available to book for private parties where you can book the whole top deck for you and your friends. The Bus is also available to book for dinner any night of the week.

 

Happy #nationalbestfriendday to my #1

2. Moss & Gray

Dating back to pre war times of 1931, Moss & Gray started their business of purveyors of fine tea, sugars, wines, coffees along with other speciality foods. They supplied the hotel industry along with the aristocracy society of Dublin and surrounding areas. Moss & Gray were the first in the area to deliver their products by motorcar, while everyone else used horse and cart.

Located in the heart of Temple Bar, this brand new pizza joint continues the tradition of supplying wonderful food and drinks to the public.

Having only opened it's doors in recent months, Moss & Gray is still somewhat of a hidden gem – but seriously worth a visit! 

We strongly recommend you get yourself one of their signature hazelnut espresso martinis along with your pizza… a winning combination.

This is not a drill!

To celebrate 25 years of business in Ireland, the world's biggest pizza delivery chain is giving away 1,200 free pizzas next week.

With 48 outlets in the ROI, Domino's remains one of the nation's most-loved take-aways – and when free food is involved, it's not hard to see why.

So, how do you get your hands on one?

Well, the first 25 customers to sing Domino's Happy Birthday in store on Monday, November 13, will be presented with a freshly handmade Domino’s medium Hamrock pizza – simples!

As well as that, the fast food chain will a gift a pizza party to the value of €250 to 25 people who are lucky enough to be celebrating their 25th birthday between November 13 and November 26.

To nominate yourself or a friend, all you have to do is log on to the Domino's Facebook page where you you'll need to explain why you feel this person deserves to win.

Oh, and before all you chancers start getting any ideas, the selected winners will need to provide proof of age before they can claim their prize.

Peter Foley, Country Manager Ireland for Domino’s, said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating our 25-year anniversary in Ireland and the newest store opening in Citywest."

 "Giving our loyal customers the chance to showcase their voices in exchange for freshly handmade pizza feels like the perfect way to mark this major milestone.

"We often hear our Irish fans in full voice after watching the football, or a big concert, so we have no doubt we’ll be giving away lots of Domino’s!"

We'll eat to that!

While we're all stuck living in 2017, the innovative folks over at Domino's and Ford are living in 3017.

The companies have teamed up to create the world's first self-driving pizza delivery car and we are very, very intrigued.

This September, randomly selected customers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will have the chance to take part in the service's first ever American trial run.

During the tests, the fully automated vehicles will be monitored by a saftey engineer who will be on-hand to take the wheel if something goes wrong, while researchers will observe how customers react to the futuristic delivery method.

Although the technology is still in the development stages, Domino's and Ford say that a driverless future is just a few years away.

So, how does it all work?

Well, each customer will receive a delivery code based on the last four digits of their phone number, which they will then use to unlock a “heatwave compartment” once the car has arrived.

Researchers hope the trail will answer some important questions about customer experience, including how far they are willing to walk to meet the car and how they interact with the vehicle's unlocking system.

No word on when/ if the system will be introduced to all Domino's stores, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Welcome to the future, ladies.

Stop. Everything.

Domino's have teamed up with Amazon's cloud based service, Alexa, in a move that will enable users to order their favourite pizza by simply speaking to the device.

The technology will allow pizza-lovers to track the exact location of their order via GPS, making it easier than ever to get your hands on your Friday-night favourite.

Here's how it's done:

1. Set up an account on the Domino's website

2. Enable the Domino’s skill via the Alexa app

3. Link Domino’s with your Alexa account

While the Alexa might not be common place in every households (yet), and it's not yet known how many Irish stores will participate, we're still excited for future possibilities.

The pizza-giant have already been hard at work trying to make our the ordering process as painless as possibly with the introduction of apps and Facebook Messenger bots.

So, surely it's only a matter of time before we merely have to dream about a thin crust meat feast before it magically arrives at our door, right?

We've all been there. Saturday night, not a word from anyone all day, when all of a sudden your phone lights up.

You immediately start planning your outfit and gearing up for the night ahead – but oh wait, it's just Domino's Pizza again.

Is there anything anything more disappointing?

Well, one Cork lad has decided that enough is enough, and although he loves Domino's deeply, the constant texts have got to stop.

Seán Fogarty took to his local branch's Facebook page to let them down easy.

“Look. What had was incredible that night  but i cant see you anymore (sic). I want you to know i love and respect you but im seeing someone else now,” he wrote.

And the plot thickens.

“I know i said don't worry about them but i have to be honest now. Im seeing Apache Pizza Ballyvolane. They make me feel special. But what we had was special too and ill cherish it always. <3 its not you, its me, and my wallet.”

But, determined to be the bigger person, Domino's waited until emotions had settled before dishing out the most brilliant response.

“Dearest Seán. It has taken me a while to write back, because I just couldn't bring myself to reach out to you again, knowing you would only break my heart even further. But I can stay silent no more,” they began.

“The time we shared… it really was special. I had no idea you were seeing someone else… that you had a bit on the side. I'll admit… it hurt. A lot. Especially hearing who you were cheating on me with.

“Do they give you as many toppings as I did? Do they knead your dough as long and as lovingly as I did? Do they taste as good as I do?”

“On second thought, forget I asked. I don't want to know. It would hurt me too much to hear the answers.

“I'll admit, I was tempted to beg you to take me back. Surely once you saw how much I needed you you would rethink things. But no. I won't beg. I will respect your decision and try to move on with my life.

“Hopefully someday I will find someone who held me like you did, who enjoyed me as much as you did. Someone who loves me for who I am – a steaming hot dish, crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, cheesy af, sometimes spicy, sometimes not, who wants nothing more than to be loved and touched and devoured intensely.

“I believe that person does exist, and they will love me more than you ever did”.

But of course, like all great break-ups, Domino's finished with a little dig:

“Best of luck with your bit on the side – and don't be calling me at 2am when you get sick of her or when she disappoints you, because I'll probably be busy with someone else. #MovingOn #PepperoniPassion#BreakUpsAreHard”

You'll bounce back Domions – we got you!

We love pizza here in Shemazing! HQ, and could pretty much eat it every day of the week (if our bodies allowed us).

But pizzas on our feet? Yep, we were sceptical.

To be honest, we still don't really know what to think of them:

Adidas pizza trainers

They're probably the most extra footwear we've seen in a while.

However, only one pair were made and have been sold in a one-off auction on the Adidas website.

The runners were designed along with 49 others to represent every state in America.

And better yet, "100 per cent of the funds raised [will be] donated to Women Win, an organisation that empowers girls to build leadership skills and address gender equity through sport."

We think it's time to pop down to Art & Hobby and get creative with our runners…
