I’m Dan Harney, the chef and founder of Hungry Bull. I was working in a hotel in Switzerland when covid hit, so I came home to Athlone to sit it out.
The only chef job going was a pizza role, but I’d never made a pizza. I took it, learned the ropes, and became obsessed with making dough. For two years I made dough five times a week. Flour, water, yeast, salt, time, temperature.
To me the dough was like a giant Rubik’s cube.. Turn one piece and the whole thing changes. I did hundreds of test batches. By the end of year two I knew that I had good pizza.
That’s when I built my kitchen in my Dad’s garage, and then the trailer. The trailer has been going strong since 2023. I realised quickly that people wanted the pizza at home on their schedule.
Hungry Bull Chilled is my solution to this. A fresh, chilled (not frozen) version of the trailer pizza. Hungry Bull pizza at home, ready when you are.
What exactly is Hungry Bull Chilled? | A fresh, chilled version of the trailer pizza, baked daily in our kitchen using a dough built for the home oven.
How is it different from supermarket chilled pizza? | Supermarket chilled is factory-made days before you buy it. Hungry Bull Chilled is baked fresh daily and collected directly the same day — no supermarket cold chain in between.
How does ordering and collection work? | Order online at least 24 hours in advance, then collect from our refrigerated van at one of our collection points. Reheat at home. It’s click and collect pizza.
Is it frozen? | No. It’s baked fresh everyday in Athlone and kept chilled, you collect it the same day. Never frozen, never shipped. Reheat it in your oven at home for 6-8 minutes.
