In March 2021, Gearóid decided to take a leap of faith and follow his passion for food. Spotting a notable gap for authentic Neapolitan pizza, he began his journey to bring a bite of Naples to Limerick in the form of quality pizza.
After 3-months of researching recipes, practicing techniques, formulating ideas, and tasting many, many pizzas, Happy Dough Lucky was born! The plan was simple, combine the best ingredients he could find with his secret dough recipe and provide great service to the people of Limerick.
Starting small, Happy Dough Lucky opened its doors (or a hatch…thank you Covid) as a pop-up pizzeria. Buying two Gozney portable ovens they began serving pizzas to the local community in Dooradoyle with their small team of three.
Fast forward 4-months and 25,000 pizzas later, Happy Dough Lucky had their second permanent location open in Limerick with over fifteen outstanding staff members.
