A Dublin man reckons he’s found the “best food truck in Ireland” while driving back from Belfast – and he was astonished it was located “in the middle of nowhere”.
The content creator, known as Paul_IsItWorthIt, is the nation’s self-described “most honest food reviewer” and his assessments can be refreshingly direct. Yet, when discussing Pesto Kitchen, situated at Elmgrove Farm, Sarsfieldtown, County Meath, he was genuinely impressed.
Providing background to his dining experience, he informed his followers: “About a year ago, I was just on the way home from, I was up in Belfast or something, I was on my way home and I stopped in a garage and I looked up the closest pizza spot.
“This was it, you wouldn’t even know, it’s off the beaten track… it is one of the best pizzas I’ve had in Ireland!”.
He revealed he’d been craving those ultra-thin slices ever since but couldn’t recall its name.

Nevertheless, during a recent journey to neighbouring Drogheda, supporters left numerous messages beneath his footage, encouraging him to check out Pesto Kitchen.
It immediately sparked his memory and Paul made another journey there lately to determine whether it genuinely ranked amongst the top five finest pizzas he’s sampled in Ireland.
He noted it was the most requested pizza establishment he’d ever critiqued, though matters began on a slightly disappointing note. Upon checking his receipt, he remarked: “€18 for a pizza and €7 for the loaded fries. That’s expensive.”
Addressing cameraman John, he enquired about the cost, before his mate suggested it would need to be top quality, and that it certainly appeared “unbelievable”.
Paul opted for half meat and half cheese and remarked the box felt so remarkably light that you’d forget there was a pizza inside it.

Sampling a cheese slice, Paul couldn’t suppress the grin on his face, and he declared: “This pizza is outstanding. This place is in the middle of nowhere. It is between Drogheda and Balbriggan.
“The amount of love, the amount of comments this place gets, it has to be unbelievable for people to be saying that, because honestly, it’s in the middle of nowhere.”
He continued: “It’s one of those pizzas right, oh my god it’s so good, it’s like restaurant pizza, like the best restaurant pizza ever. You think after eating one slice, it wouldn’t fill you, I’ve had it before, it will fill you, but it won’t overfill you, it’s like the perfect amount.”
Sampling a meat slice, he repeated that it ranks amongst the top five finest pizza establishments in Ireland, before declaring it the finest food truck pizza in the nation.

When scoring it out of ten, he stated: “This pizza for me man, let me know where the best one is, but the raw ingredients and the taste off this, the dough, this for me, ladies and gentlemen, it has been a while since we’ve given a blockbuster score, if this was €15 it would be faultless, but it is €18, so I am going 9.5 out of ten.”
He then urged people to make the journey to Pesto Pizza, insisting it was worth travelling up to 90 minutes for.
Paul also sampled the bacon jam fries, calling them “absolutely delicious”.
Following the upload of the video, which you can watch here in full, one person responded: “That’s one serious pizza. And chips too actually. Good score except I’d mark it down even further because of the price.”
Another said: “This looks really nice. Love an off the beaten track treasure.”
