GoodHood — Restaurant in Cork

We had a 4:30pm booking, for 3 people. When we arrived we were the only table in the restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly member of FOH, she took our order not long after arrival. Initially our starters and son's pizza came out first which was suggested by the member of staff. This was great and we enjoyed the beef cheek and beet on goats. Both starters were presented and tasted amazing. Other groups/couples started to come into the restaurant. We were now waiting on 2 pizzas. Tables who came in and ordered after us were receiving their orders and we were still waiting. It took 40 minutes from when we got our starters before we got our remaining 2 pizzas. We called the same member of staff over and made her aware we were waiting a long time. She did kindly bring over a portion of chips for our son and another coke as we were waiting so long. We got the 2 pizza which again tasted amazing, we had some left over which we wanted to take away in a box. After we received our pizza no member of staff checked in on us. We waited again. Tired of waiting I carried my plate up to pay and have the remaining food boxed up. A gentleman met us at the till ,took the pizza to be boxed up and gave us our bill. I was prepared to give feedback on our experience how ever he never asked us how was our food/experience etc. The opportunity to give feedback wasn't there. We paid, he thanked us and we left. The food was 10/10 however the service was...

An Authentic Italian Experience in the Heart of Cork

Goodhood is a hidden gem in Cork that delivers an authentic taste of Italy. The cozy, intimate atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, and the pizzaiolo even took the time to chat with us, adding a personal touch to the experience.

While they don't serve alcohol on-site, the policy is super flexible—you can easily grab a drink from the nearby off-licence or pub to enjoy with your meal.

We ordered four margheritas and one diavola (pepperoni), and they were absolutely outstanding. The dough was perfectly leavened, light, and digestible, just like a true Neapolitan pizza should be. Each bite transported us straight to Italy.

Although one pizza arrived slightly burnt, the staff handled it brilliantly. When we brought it to their attention, the owner promptly removed it from the bill—a gesture that speaks volumes about their dedication to customer satisfaction.

Goodhood is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic pizza. Highly recommended—five stars,...

I’ve been eating at this place since it first opened, and the last three times I went I noticed a clear difference the quality is not the same, and the ingredients are not the same either. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down.

The cheese they used before was better, vera mozzarella. The sauce has also changed. On other occasions I noticed differences in the dough (and the excess oil), which I overlooked, but when a business lowers the quality of its ingredients is when I really feel let down. For example, today the margherita pizza had a topping of low-quality parmesan, and way too much of it. Needless to say, a margherita shouldn’t even have parmesan it’s a matter of taste of course, but if you decide to add it, it should be in the right amount and with good quality.

I don’t mind if you want to charge more for the pizza, but please don’t lower the quality or at least inform customers if it’s a low-cost version.

I hope you take this as constructive feedback, because this used to be the best place to...
