Pompeii Pizza — Restaurant in Cork

Pompeii Pizza is located in the large beer garden at the rear of the Franciscan Well Bar. They are a little gem offering a variety of delicious freshly made to wood oven pizzas with staff know what they are doing! My personal favourites are the "Margherita Irlandese" or the "Salsiccia"! The wood fired oven and the staff's expert knowledge delieve pizzas with a brilliant crispy and a perfectly puffed up edge/crust. The centre is lovely and gooey with the fresh cheese and the base holds its shape however, its not the most rigid sometimes. One thing to note is that the edge/crust can be a bit charred and that might not be to everyone's liking however, I don't mind it!

Update 26-Aug-2023: My Fiancé ordered the Garlic bread and she got them to drizzle some balsamic vinegar over it, it was delicious! If you are not feeling a whole pizza I highly recommend getting the garlic bread as a small snack!

On location: If you are planning on dining in the Fran Well Pompeii will give you a buzzer so that you can return to your table while you wait. You'll know that your pizza is ready when the bizzer lights up constantly and starts vibrating!

Delivery: Pompeii Pizza is in partnership with Deliveroo and can be ordered off of the Deliveroo App which makes it handy if you are not feeling going out but still want that wood fired pizza taste!

Wheelchair Accessibility: The beer garden is very spacious with plenty of space to maneuver around tables for wheelchair users. However, as I am not a wheeel chair user myself, I am not entirely sure where the wheelchair entrance is located in the beer garden. It is also worth noting that I have not noticed a wheelchair friendly toilet in the Fran Well but hopefully I am wrong!

Overall: I have to say there is nothing better than a cold beer from the Fran Well and a fresh...

nice location , pizza and beer are always a good combination. however, do not go here if you are vegan. they make their own vegan cheese so this sounded nice and after seeing reviews I was quite looking forward to it. went with a friend and we got two pizzas, shared half the pulled jackfruit option and half a margherita. The whole texture of the cheese was wrong and was as if it was dolloped onto the pizzas , making globs that would nearly flop off the slices when picking them up. I started just letting them roll off so my stomach wouldn’t turn any further eating the slices..if I had a knife I would’ve spread the cheese balls over the pizza cause the overall taste was nice in the cheese and the sauce. the base was great // cooked well. Please just find a different way to apply that cheese to the vegan pizzas ..I will not be back, but for future customers, please do...

I ordered the BBQ Jackfruit Vegan Pizza and it was one of the worst pizzas I have ever had in my life. First, I was surprised to find there was no sauce on the pizza! I was expecting either the standard tomato sauce or maybe even BBQ sauce since it mentions BBQ, but it had nothing! I went back and kindly asked if they could just give me some sauce on the side at least and they told me they would only give me mayonnaise for 2 euro! Plus the cheese was weird even by vegan cheese standards - just little balls of cheese that you couldn't spread out in any way. So basically the pizza just tasted like bread. Other members of my party were also unimpressed with their pizzas. To top it all off, they didn't even have the menus updated. There are QR codes on the tables and they point to an old menu with old (cheaper) prices and menu items no...
