Pompeii in Kerry

Due to it's roadside location and ample parking, the pizza trailer is easily accessible. We offer pizza for takeaway, but there is an outdoor seating area with plenty of picnic benches. For wetter or winder days, patrons can avail of the sheltered seating area to the rear of Siopa Glaise Rinn.

All our pizzas are prepared and freshly baked to order. To ensure you receive them hot out of the oven, we don't take pre-orders. The cooking time is very quick - under 2 minutes, so once you place your order the wait is minimal.

This is our third summer based in Caherdaniel. Previously, we spent two summers at nearby Waterville, another jewel on the Ring of Kerry. There is a wealth of things to see and do in this area, from visiting the historic Derrynane House and its beautiful gardens to a range of sea-sports activities, exploring the local wildlife, discovering the coastline, cycling, and much more.

For up-to-date info on our Kerry menu or opening hours, check out our page on Facebook.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id="gallery-100965" medias="828,8256,8257,8258" gutter_size="2" screen_lg="1000" screen_md="600" screen_sm="480" single_width="2" images_size="one-one" single_overlay_opacity="50" single_padding="2" uncode_shortcode_id="180111"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
