Nice spot for a family lunch with a street-food style atmosphere. The pizzas aren’t very authentic, though. They’re simple and made fresh to order. The seating arrangement is great, especially when the weather is nice. The kids loved the experience, and the staff are lovely and welcoming.

PizzaFriendly staff
Absolutely outstanding pizza! You can immediately taste the freshness of the ingredients — from the vibrant tomato sauce to the perfectly melted cheese. The base has that ideal crunch that only comes from real skill and quality dough. Portions are generous, leaving you properly satisfied whether you’re dining in or grabbing food to go.
The place itself is spotless — you can see the care they put into everything, from the prep area right through to the eating space. It’s rare to find somewhere that combines top-quality food, cleanliness, and great service so effortlessly. Nani Pizza is a must-visit in Kildare Village!
The reviews which claimed this to be the "best slice of pizza in Ireland" probably set the bar far too high from the outset but this was, in a word; Grand. The tables weren't cleaned and we had to wipe it ourselves before sitting and it feels like thats the norm, or at least for the evening I was there.
As one of the harsher reviews rightfully claimed, its probably closer to a focaccia with toppings than a traditional pizza slice, but hey, to each their own.
Its fine, tasty and it's a quick bite when you happen to be in Kildare village anyway but nothing life changing, and thats okay!
