The Rusty Oven
A wood-fired sourdough pizzeria hidden in the back garden of Patsy Dan's pub, with inventive toppings that many people rate as Donegal's best pizza.
Located in a secret garden behind Patsy Dan's pub on Dunfanaghy's main street. You enter through the pub and order a drink there to take outside. The hand-made sourdough bases are thin and chewy, and the inventive toppings include truffle, goat's cheese, and pear and walnut, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Most seating is in covered outdoor areas, so dress warmly. Service is slow at busy times, so book through the restaurant's Facebook page. Expect to pay about €15–25 per person. Opening days change with the season.
