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 your pizzas online by midnight the night before. Collect from your chosen location. Reheat whenever you’re ready.
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 7 minutes.
