This week on Bay Business with Breda Fox, we hear the full Dough Bros story – from a mad idea over a few pints to an international-standard pizza brand rooted in Galway.
Breda Fox is joined by brothers Ronan and Eugene Greaney, who share how they went from office jobs and uncertainty to backing themselves with a wood-fired pizza truck in 2013. They recall the drama of crashing the truck on night one, the pressure that followed, and why they decided to get back on the road just two weeks later.
From there, they chart the move into pop-ups, the leap to a permanent city-centre restaurant, and the evolution of their “Pizza for the People” philosophy. Breda explores how they built a loyal team, worked with local producers, and used social media and storytelling to stand out in a crowded hospitality market.
The brothers talk candidly about coping with Covid, creating nationwide DIY pizza kits, opening a slice shop and developing a production facility to supply bases and retail products. Along the way they reflect on awards, resilience, and what success looks like now.
It’s a lively, frank conversation about risk, craft and ambition in the west of Ireland.
