Pompeii Pizza - Cork

Our taste for pizza is rather selective, and for this reason it was a delight to stumble upon a place like Pompeii Pizza. The pizza dough was just right, halfway between thin and spongier, with the toppings spot on in terms of flavour. A pleasant combination is also their synergy with the pub next door, the Franciscan Well, which allows you to order food from the former and drinks from the latter, with seating options in both locals, indoors or outside.

Tasty stone fire pizza in a brewery. Most of the seating is outside, but it’s somewhat heated. Food is very quick, and the beer is excellent! Also, on a night when a reservation was needed most other places in Cork, we didn’t need one here, which was a relief.

Really interesting place, a pub and a pizzeria together. Good atmosphere and the ingredients of the pizza was of VERY good quality, the dough for me taste needs a challenge yet I recommend it. As I point out, I'd like to say that it's easy to go ahead and not see the place, it's kind of camouflaged.

Onsite ground flour really makes a difference. The dough is unbelievably fluffy with the perfect amount of bite to it. Dollops of well spiced toppings combine with this dough to leave you wanting more. One Nduja pizza was enough to feed two people. This is also a great establishment for allergy sufferers as allergens associated with each dish are listed on the menu.

The atmosphere here is very good, lots of people on the weekend and many tasty pints. As for the pizza, it's one of the best and most authentic in Cork, although sometimes it was slightly worse than others. Maybe it also depends on the day and the person who cooks it. However, as an Italian, I can only recommend Pompeii, go there and try it yourself
