When Your Career Is In Pizzas

Sylv and Garrett dish it out…

aving worked in pizzerias during their student days, when Garrett and Katherine Farrell decided recently to shift gears in their careers, they soon found themselves coming full circle.

Which is pretty appropriate when it comes to pizza, of course.

Seeing that the long-running and much-loved Pizza Shack was up for grabs, the couple couldn’t resist, well, taking a major slice of this Kilcoole action, finding themselves behind the counter there back in October 2025.

And, it turned out, without a chef, who just happened to be leaving on that first day.

So, Katherine did The Time Warp again, tracking down her old Pappagallo’s Pizza chef, Sylv, from those heady student days, to come on board as manager. And now, with 9 employees (and growing!), the wood-fired sourdough pizzas are flying out the door.

So, do be careful when you’re passing.

And do keep an eye on the guy’s social media for regular specials, to make your yum-yum time all the more tasty.
