Palmento — Restaurant in Cork

I came here years ago and it was the best pizza I've had in Ireland, so I was looking forward to coming back. I was so disappointed this time! We ordered the parmesan fries to start, which were both dry and stale - really weird honestly. They were edible but really below average, you know? Anyway that isn't so important because the pizza is the star of the show, right? I ordered a margarita: the dough is great. solid 8/10 on the dough alone. but the pizza is completely let down by the fact that they so heavily over top it! I had such a thick soupy layer of tomato sauce that everything slid off and it really overwhelmed the pizza. My partner ordered the pizza with chorizo and 'nduja and it was also just completely plastered with toppings. the whole plate was swimming with oil from the spicy sausage, which dominated the entire pizza, leaving notbing else for the pallet to enjoy. The best part of the pizza was the crust, which wasnt burdened by the ridiculously...

Absolutely avoid. Ordered 2 portions of chips and a pizza and one coke. In total it was €30+ Food arrived after over an hour. The chips were cold, hard and leathery. But the pizza was even worse. Ordered one with several meats and cheese etc. The pizza had 3 or 4 tiny pieces of meat. The rest was mostly base sauce and bits of cheese. 30 quid for disappointment. We called to complain and to be fair they did send a second one. The staff and delivery driver were very nice... BUT... That second pizza was just as bad, if not even worse. Again, very few toppings and the pizza was falling apart. Leaking off the base.You would think that a replacement one would be somewhat better considering. It's like the chef is trying to get fired or something. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Two attempts in one, and both...

Pizza was soggy in the middle - both in mine and my son's. I get the ingredients on mine (no. 7) are somewhat liquid, but if the combination creates a pool of warm (not hot) liquid dribbling around the pizza, and a doughy, luke-warm base, the recipe needs adjusting.

My son's meal, kid's margherita, was also very sloppy due to the very watery tomato sauce. Kids don't eat pizza with knives and forks, they use their hands, but this pizza couldn't be eaten like that without ingredients sliding off and him trying to eat a slice of dough with the ghost of tomato sauce on it.

To their credit, it tasted very nice and staff were lovely, but everything else left a lot...
