Pizza Dozzina: Pizza Dozzina is the name of The Twelve’s latest genius idea – a pizza kitchen and deli serving divine, skinny, traditional Italian pizzas, created in a magnificent MV Napoliforni pizza oven, shipped specially from Naples, the original home of pizza! From a family business in Napoli specializing in stone ovens using stone from Vesuvius, this pizza oven is the vividly glowing heart of Pizza Dozzina. The Pins Gastro Bar: The Pins, known to many as The Twelve Pins, was first established in the early 1800’s in the beautiful village of Barna on this very site. The hub of Barna Village, and a destination in its own right, The Pins Gastro Bar is loved by locals and overnight guests alike. In addition to an incredible food menu, Sunday lunch and Barbeque menu, there is an equally incredible selection of cocktails, whiskies, cognacs, armagnacs, rums, bourbons, vodkas and countless other fine spirits and beers. The Pins is a great place to enjoy good coffees, interesting teas, breads 'just out of the oven' from the on-site bakery and tantalising local produce infused with flavours from around the world. You can surf the net for free with our Wifi, meet the locals, catch a Traditional Irish Music session and see Galway's finest Jazz acts. The Pins Bakery: The Pins Bakery is a sensory experience – an experience of delicious aromas, warm freshly baked breads, melt-in-the-mouth confectionery, scrumptious cakes, velvety coffees and other favourites - all in an intimate, continental setting that will make you feel like you could be in a Boulangerie in Paris!
