Christmas Party Choices
- Pizza Kits are all about having some foodie fun. We provide all the components for a top-quality homemade margherita. It’s up to you how much you want to experiment & how competitive you want to get.
- Chilled Pizzas are super convenient. They’re already fully cooked in our wood-fired oven, then blast chilled. Just before you’re ready to meet and eat, give it quick reheat. It couldn’t be easier to coordinate a shared virtual meal, even with large numbers linking up individually.

How to Takeaway
[vc_row][vc_column column_width_use_pixel="yes" gutter_size="3" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="0" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" column_width_pixel="800"][vc_column_text]While Level 5 restrictions are effect, our wood-fired pizzeria at the Franciscan Well Bar continues to operate takeaway services. We have options to suit cosy couch nights, fun family time, or virtual get-togethers.
Takeaway Essentials
- Our current opening hours are: 5-9:30pm Monday to Wednesday & 2-9:30pm Thursday to Sunday.
- To place a delivery order, click this link to our menu on Deliveroo.
- To order collection takeaway, call in to us at the Franciscan Well & we'll prepare your pizza pronto, or use our Click & Collect service to order before you call in.
- To order for our Saturday delivery to Carrigtwohill / Fermoy / Glanmire / Rathcormac / Watergrasshill, click this link to preorder.
Delivery
For local delivery, our full pizza menu is available via Deliveroo. When ordering, you'll notice the option to order your pizza either hot or chilled.
For an optimum quality delivery, we recommend to go for the chilled option. It's fully cooked in our wood-fired oven, then blast chilled. Just heat up the oven and slide your pizza onto the rack. In under 5 minutes you'll have a piping-hot, cheese-melting pizza and a kitchen that smells like fresh baking. This is absolutely the optimum takeaway pizza.
If you want your order to arrive hot, the delivery rider collects your pizza hot out of our oven to bring to your door. We've found that leaving the pizza unsliced means it reaches its destination in the best condition. So we won't slice your pizza unless you specifically request it.
Collection
Alternatively, call to our pizzeria to order & collect your pizza in person. We have an outdoor waiting area with all the relevant physical distancing and hygiene protocols. You won't have long to wait - our chefs are super speedy & once your pizza goes in the oven it cooks in under 2 minutes! Pizza perfection straight out of the wood-fired oven.
Virtual Catering
This is a great option for linking up with family, friends, team-mates or colleagues. Even while we can't meet in person, we can meet and share experiences online.
Liven up a Zoom or Skype call by arranging for Chilled Pizzas or Pizza Kits to be sent to everyone joining.
We can organise for orders to be delivered to multiple individual addresses.
Chilled Pizzas couldn't be easier to coordinate and they are the ultimate crowd pleaser. Pizza Kits are an ideal ice-breaker with everyone making their own pizzas & comparing results. Email us if you have any questions or to book catering for your party.
We'll keep you notified of any changes to services or opening hours through our social media pages, so stay tuned![/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id="gallery-100965" medias="7452,7455,7453,7456" 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"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We are thrilled to reopen our pizzeria at the Franciscan Well Bar and welcome you as sit-in customers. The lockdown was a long, lonely time, but now you can enjoy pizzas & beverages in the social setting of the beer garden once again.

We've worked closely with the Franciscan Well Bar to put in place all the necessary measures to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience. We want you relax and enjoy the food and the atmosphere with peace of mind.
Reservations
You can reserve a table by visiting the Fran Well Bar website, and using the handy ResDiary app. The new booking system and table spacing facilitate physical distancing - and guarantee you a seat!
When you arrive, you will be greeted, brought to your table, and given your food and drinks menus. Your server will take your drinks order while you decide on your pizza choice. While you wait for your drinks to arrive, keep an eye on the queue. Once you see it's clear, one or two of your group can come to the pizza counter to place your food order. We're applying a maximum of two people in the queue at any time. This minimal queue system means ordering is quick and your pizzas are ready in a jiffy.
Safety Charter Compliance
Be assured that we're implementing all relevant HSE requirements and Fáilte Ireland guidelines. In light of the current pandemic, we have reviewed and updated our health and safety systems. Prior to reopening, all our staff participated in specific hygiene and cleaning training.

Keeping it Real and Rustic
Going through the old photos ahead of the birthday brings home how much has changed since 2009. We'll be sharing some of the pics to show the evolution of Pompeii Pizza to the slick operation it is today.
The original incarnation of Pompeii Pizza was as a mobile wood-fired venture. So we were born on the road, and it's been an interesting journey!
Our first stall was at the Fermoy Farmer’s Market. Over the next few years served slices of wood-fired goodness at numerous farmers markets, food fairs, and festivals throughout Cork, and further afield. Along the way, we refined our product, experimented with our processes, and got to know our suppliers and customers.
Within a couple of months of the inaugural market, a lucky coincidence led us to trial the idea of a pop-up pizzeria in the Franciscan Well's beautiful beer garden, leading to a permanent fixture. More recently we've established a seasonal presence in Waterville, Co. Kerry.
We've come a long way since we sold our very first pizza, but but we're still keeping it real and rustic.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color="accent" border_width="0" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.ie%2Fe%2Fpompeii-pizza-10th-birthday-party-tickets-79945989607|title:Book%20Tickets|target:%20_blank|"]Book Tickets[/vc_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]
