The Oratory Pizza and Wine Bar in Cahirciveen

Found this gem of a restaurant last minute online whilst visiting the Skelligs islands. Not too busy on a Tuesday evening. Moderately priced. The 50:50, 1/2 pizza was a good shout. The crab and peaches pizza was scrumptious. The setting was great in a church. Service was mediocre. Served the food and that’s about it. Aperol Spritz was great! A memorable experience of an eatery. Nice to see these buildings being used for another purpose and not let them go derelict.

Really neat spot with good pizza - loved the blue peach! A bit busy, we were able to walk in as a group of two but bigger would've been harder. Big enough you could share one pizza for two.

An absolutely unique ambiance. The pizza is good, but the menu could use a few more dishes.

The pizzas are delicious! The service is studenty but very friendly. Definitely recommended.

Great Pizzaplace in an old church! Good food and outside self service

Exceptional location, good pizza, some with unusual toppings... Highly recommended. 👍🏼

Visited 2 weeks ago when on holiday, was recommended by someone we had met the previous days when we told them we'd be in Cahersiveen. To be honest it was not the best experience - not horrible or bad per se, just not great. The pizzas are not really pizzas - they're more like a tortilla wrap with toppings. It was so hard to tell what kind of dough the base was as it was so thin. But it really did not resemble any pizza I've ever had (and trust me, I eat pizza!). The building itself is obviously beautiful, it's great to be able to sit and have a meal in such a venue, but the place was pretty dead, and as a result the staff (who were all young - no older than early 20s) didn't really give the impression they could be arsed, to be frank. Again, there was no rudeness etc. but a very clear lack of any kind of effort, no smiles, barely any words, and by the time we had paid they seemed glad to get rid of us (we were the last people in, but this was before closing). There was a really awkward interaction between them and a couple who'd come in to order pizza to takeaway too. It was all just a bit odd and the food was not very good. I wouldn't go back, mostly because of the food - it's just not pizza! If they upped their game and started making real pizza dough etc I'd probably give it another chance, in spite of all of the other issues. The tourist season didn't really feel like it had began when we were there so perhaps this is why it was so dead and the staff were quite lackluster and had given up mentally. Who knows. Anyway - I'm not saying don't try this place, you may have a completely different experience. This is just the one we had 🙂

Great atmosphere in this desecrated church.

This place is simply unique, and we finally managed to get a seat there. We had a reservation, but upon request, we were allowed to arrive an hour earlier. The staff is very friendly, and the pizzas are a little different than what we might be used to in Germany, but still very tasty.

The pizza tasted mediocre, the dough was too hard. Rather expensive for a pizza. The atmosphere in the old church was exceptional, a bit chilly but without heating.
