Restaurant review: La Pizzeria, Co Louth

When word got around that Jian Carlo, (the pizza maker at Drogheda’s La Pizzeria, when it opened about 25 years ago, and subsequently its owner/chef), was quite likely the grumpiest person ever to stand behind a food counter, it fast became something of a running joke to see just how grumpy he could be.

For a lot of people, the levels of blatant but mild irritation from a front-of-house chef can be off-putting, but as weeks, months and years passed, it became obvious that Jian Carlo’s bark was much worse than his bite.
