313/365: Leo Flanagan, Ballymahon, Co. Longford

If you’re a fan of Only Fools and Horses, you’ll know where Leo got the name for his restaurant. On the main street in Ballymahon is where you’ll find the wonderfully named Jolly Boy’s Pizza.

After doing a fair bit of traveling, sampling different street foods and a wide variety of cuisines, Leo decided to come home to Longford and follow in his parent’s footsteps and feed Ballymahon!

Just before lockdown, in what many would think was the absolute worst time to open a business of any kind, Leo’s pizza business thrived, and it’s a genuine pleasure to hear someone speak so fondly of working in hospitality and contributing to his community.
