The Plaza in Cork

30/08/2025: 30/08/2025: Sadly, I have to amend my glowing review from 8 months ago. Tonight's visit was nothing like the last one. No vegan cheese, no other vegan options on the menu and no offers from staff to amend any pasta dishes either (all things we were assured were the case 8 months ago). Went for a pizza without any cheese as that was out only option. Then, we were one dish short when the food came - they had forgotten one pizza. No offer to bring a small salad or a slice of bread or anything for the person left without food while the other three ate (food would've gone cold). Which created an uncomfortable atmosphere at the table with three people feeling guilty for eating and one person watching the rest eat. Not nice. When the forgotten pizza finally came, it was half burnt on one side, so we returned it. Didn't ask for a replacement as things had gone on too long by now. Staff didn't seem overly bothered. Left us sitting among empty dishes for ages later before anyone came and cleared things away and asked if we wanted dessert. Nasty draft from the front door that wouldn't close properly unless someone pulled it closed. One of us had to get up 4x to close the door after people coming or going - staff didn't notice a thing. Overall, aside from the fact that Sliced is taking a big step back now by not catering to vegan customers anymore, it seemed like staff didn't care much about anything (coffee was weak, draft from the door, dishes piling up, one dish from the order forgotten). Any one of the issues tonight wouldn't bother me as things can always go wrong, but the sum of it does. Sad to have to take this off my list of options for a nice dinner out now. ------- Went with two couples tonight; two vegans and two omnivores. There were no obviously vegan options on the menu, but we were told they had vegan cheese, so could make us whatever pizza we chose with that. Service was really nice and the food was excellent, both vegan and non-vegan. We had a lovely dinner out, everyone was full and happy at the end.

12/08/2025: Went there on a midweek evening, pizzas are lovely. I had chicken, chorizo, and a parma pizza. The chorizo wasn't nice but the other toppings were lovely. Service was great.
