Platform Pizza Bar

I used to love coming here and in the past I would have happily given it a 4 star review on a good day.
The waitress was a lovely girl, very chatty and friendly. We came here for lunch and got a pitcher of what was meant to be Pink Grapefruit but I suspect was actually strawberry lemonade instead. It tasted nice and I was really thirsty so it took its place on the table without complaint.
The pizza and the fish salad were both pretty good but once our plates were taken away so was our table service. There were 4 staff members running around the floor with that Knorr Quick Soup ‘look busy walk fast — don’t stop me now’ sort of look going on and our wonderful waitress had disappeared like Debbie McGee into one of Paul Daniels boxes of illusion — she had simply vanished into thin air.
I pride myself on being a fair person but after failing to catch the eye of any of the remaining staff or their attention (It would have been easier to ask Usain Bolt for his autograph during a 100metre sprint) we just gave up on the idea of coffee altogether and made our way up to the register to settle the bill. It was at this precise moment our lovely waitress re-​entered the scene and the magic show ended. Ta D’ah!
The restaurant wasnt really that busy and it wouldnt have taken much effort for the person who took our plates away to offer us a dessert menu, we assumed they would be back. But its true what they say about assumption — its simply the mother of all Feck Ups. Substitute the «E» for a dirty «U» at your own discretion, if you so wish!
So the food was good and the service was good for some of the duration but not so good for the final leg. If this restaurant trip would be comparable to a Ryanair flight, then the staff were too busy selling scratch cards to other passengers to notice the guy and girl looking for a cup of instant Kenco. (Que Annoying Bugle music)

Still my favourite place. Problem is that once you have a meal here, no other pizza place compares!
So many vegan, dairy-​free, vegetation and coeliac options too.
Vegan pizza is my personal favourite. Just love this place!

My girlfriend and I found ourselves here late one night when other places had closed for dinner. I was skeptical at first — the place seemed trendy and leaning toward the youthful side. The club music was thumping at quite a volume, but not so much that we couldn’t have a conversation or for it to be a distraction. The ambiance is completed by heavy stone walls, wooden tables, and a bathroom through a wardrobe.
We ordered a pair of beers and decided on what to eat. My girlfriend ordered the calamari and prawns and I ordered the Moroccan flatbread. As soon as the first bite hit my mouth, I found myself in surprise. It was delicious! And huge! I think of flatbreads and calamari as appetizers, but each of these were entrée-​sized. I guess they’re intended to be shared which we did, but they were like whole meals each. The flatbread had large pieces of hand-​torn chicken on it and the spicy sauce was served on the side so you could add as little or as much as you want.
We didn’t really have any expectations going into the meal. We just needed a late dinner in Bray, but we were very satisfied overall. The service was good too. I would go back, should I find myself in Bray again.

Another review of Platform Pizza… I can’t give anything but a five!
We brought my fiancé’s little brother this time.
Thanks to a delay in finishing our drinks at Brew Dock on Amiens Street we missed a DART and ended up being 15 minutes late but there was no issue raised which I find really impressive.
We were sat across from the entrance to Narnia (the toilet!) so got a better photo of it this time :)
For starters we shared some of the boneless chicken wings. We chose the Bootleg (sweet smoky BBQ sauce) and Caribbean Jerk (Mellow Jamaican Jerk seasoning) wings… They were sweet, tangy and had just a little kick. They went really nice with the Craigie’s Ballyhook Flyer cider I drank to start.
For main I ordered the same pizza as last time — goats cheese, mozzarella, pancetta, walnuts and maple syrup. I should really apologise to them again — I’m so fussy as I don’t like tomato sauce based pizza and so I ordered it without. Unfortunately it came out with tomato sauce. They had no problem at all swapping it over — they really were so good about it but I still feel guilty as I hate being one of «those» people that make a fuss.
We also got a side of the sweet potato fries — crispy, sweet and so yum.
The pizza was as good as first visit so the food is consistently excellent. There were three v clean boards.
Then it came to dessert. Fiancé’s brother wanted the pecan pie but I suggested ordering the Nutella pizza. I didn’t realise it was so big until we were ordering it and Kate (I think that was her name, she was excellent!) advised that it’s the size of their pizzas with a slightly different base. We agreed we’d share that between the three of us and if there was any left then we could take the rest home. The pizza is served with strawberries and ice cream…
I am not ashamed to tell you there was none to bring home in the box — another empty board! It was absolutely amazing — chocolate lover’s nirvana!!!
The second visit (its actually my third visit it a quick stop to pick up a takeaway pizza counts) was as good if not better than our first. I can only tell you that the food is delicious, the staff are lovely and it’s well worth a visit out of the city to try here!

Great place if you want to get out of town for a meal .
Very cool interior design, with the door to the toilet being a wardrobe that you step into!
Went for the bbq pizza which was fresh and very nice. However avoid the boneless chicken wings as they tasted a bit unnatural funnily enough.

Fantastic pizza so many choices and even better cocktails. Service was fast and friendly which was very much appreciated!
Loving the bathrooms something different and funky definitely suits the place. Looking forward to my next visit !

Pros:
— The best way to end a trail hike from Greystones to Bray
— They specialize in their flatbreads and pizza; I went with the chicken pizza with fresh salad.
— It’s nice to eat something delicious and not feel gross/​like I’ve eaten a triangle grease.
— Great vibe and décor inside and a lot of seating.
Cons:
— The bathrooms are really weird!

The most famous pizza place outside of Dublin city centre. This is one not to miss! Really funky interior, always buzzing, great tunes. Staff are very friendly (I used to be one a few years back, swear I’m not biased). Food is amazing too — it’s not just a pizza place either. It’s got chicken, steak, fish. Caters to everyone really. Great kids menu too. Cocktail and craft beer menu is ace too.

I had the meatballs to start which were… ok I guess, I only got three in a bowl with a lot of sauce and several slices of bread. I suppose it was ok for a starter but I would have expected something a bit more special, it definitely felt and tasted like something I could have made myself at home.
For the main I got a blue cheese pizza but again it wasn’t as impactful as the blue cheese and pear pizza you would get in Skinflint off Dame Street, which is a similar place seemingly looking for the same clientele «hipster and cool». That’s not to say there was anything wrong with the pizza, it just didn’t wow me as a restaurant with seemingly ‘wierd and funky’ pizza selections should.
Drink selection I had the craft cider and they seemingly do a good few craft beers.
Overall, the place is nice and there isn’t anything fundamentally wrong with it, I just wouldn’t feel I HAD to go there again.

Brilliant pizza, worth the trip. They do both gluten-​free (which I haven’t tried) and spelt-​base which is brilliant. Can’t tell it’s low in gluten, it’s just simply delicious.
I had the chicken wings the 1^st trip which were a bit fatty, mentioned it on the 2^nd trip and they made sure they were lovely.
Great atmosphere and great value

Upgraded to a 5. Great service from our waitress compared to our last visit.
Had the wings to start which were sooi good and the anchovie caper and olive pizza. All the wait staff need to take a lesson from Kate.

Visited here with 2 friends on 2÷8÷15. 3^rd time here. Due to last minute rearranging, we needed a table for 3, rather than 2 — as per reservation. Restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived. No problems adding an extra person. Staff are all superb. Every one of them. You will not be disappointed. Breath of fresh air. The décor, layout and atmosphere are so cool.
I had the amazing breakfast pizza (it was 8pm, did i care? No!!), and 2 Bulmers. My friends had a glass of red each. 2 starters, 2 mains. Fabulous.
Total was € 52, great value.
Oh, and the bathroom location is eh… fairly unique for those who haven’t experienced Platform Pizza yet. Adds to the brilliance of the place.
All I’ll say is… go…just go! Superb.

I’m sitting here with my mouth dribbling wishing I could just re eat everything I had today. I will now crave that goats cheese and maple syrup pizza (with candied walnuts and pancetta) for the rest of my life! You can get half pizza half salad which is great for me as I never finish a whole pizza. maybe this one I would but. The starters where just as great. I’d recommend the tayto meatballs they went great togheter with the garlic bread that comes with it. Hats off to who thought of this. They were the softest most tasty meatballs I’ve had and I love me a good meatball ;). The inside of the place is great and the toilets are like a big closet into narnia. Get a big jug of strawberry lemonade it’s homemade and so tasty I drank about 4 glasses! The brownie was tops but I only got a bite because I thought I’d go for the gin and tonic sorbet. not for me unless you like really strong gin. I took a star off just because the tables are on top of each other and the staff are sorta in their own little worlds rambling around laughing togheter I had to call them over a lot. Other than that can’t wait to go back the salads look amazing but il just order that same pizza over an over again as it was so good!

Pizza and craft beer and views of the waterfront makes me a happy girl. Ok there may have been an annoying fun fair blocking my view but I could picture it without!
We stopped here by accident but very glad we did. This place is cool enough to be hipster but friendly enough that families walk in and don’t care. I’m a big fan of (proper) pizza and Platform was just about up there! First time having vegan pizza and I would eat over and over again.
Definitely one to go back to… but probably only after the screaming amusements have left town.

The boneless chicken wings, it’s all about the boneless chicken wings. This place is the coolest pizzeria in Bray, if not Leinster. I had the boneless chicken wings with Jamaican jerk which were so delicious that I considered ordering more. The pizzas are huge and wasn’t able to finish it, but they put what was left in a box to take home — perfect for the Dart back to Dublin ;)
The food, wine, service and atmosphere could not have been any better — if you haven’t been here yet, get here and finish the night off with a few pints in the Harbour Bar around the corner.

Platform es de ambiente amigable para flias o grupos, a unos pasos de la estacion y frente al agua! Tiene forma de container, no escuhas nada… entras y wow! Cervezas de todo tipo, pizzas enormes, platos sin gluten, los clasicos fish and chips y platos potentes para palear el fresco irlandes!
Si estas ahi no te lo pierdas!

If you want to have the best pizza, and eat it in a unique atmosphere; this is the place to be!
The interior has a train station theme to it, with signs and all. The menu reflects this as well, which is just fantastic I think, really great.
The pizza’s I have eaten here are just the best I’ve eaten so far, and there are many to chose from; so we’ll just have to come back!

I have indeed returned to Platform and it was just as good as before! Still haven’t ordered a pizza (oops) but the chicken wings I had were delish. I will say that I wish I’d ordered the traditional instead of the boneless because they seemed more like soft chicken nuggets.
I also had a cocktail this time, the Bray Bré, which was absolutely unreal! Dying to know the recipe…
I ordered the garlic bread as a side but it was HUGE– basically a whole pizza worth of garlic bread. It’s a little too crispy for my liking but still nice.

Can I have a 3.5 star… Please, promise I have reasons!
This has been on my bookmarks for way too long and was excited to finally be in the area on the last bank holiday Monday. They have prime position on the seafront in Bray and hey, should Summer ever decide to arrive here in Ireland the outdoor seating would be awesome and with a view to die for. Went on in and the place was jammers, buzzing and how knew on such a cold wet miserable summer’s day all of Bray would be inside. Looking for just a table for 2, the host was like, hey, we’re pretty busy but using her initiative (bonus points) she was like I can squeeze you up on the window seats… I was like super, thanks… however as we squeeze on over I was disappointed because she choose not to follow us over, provide us with menus or even move off from the window table all the cashier admin stuff. After about 5 minutes, my husband had to just start restacking the stuff to give him breathing space to seat properly. Another staff member got the hint and did finish off that job, so cheers for that. We got menus about 10 mins after arrive and where ready to order pretty quickly, order in and we asked fro some table water… Was excited to see a large jug of fresh water and cucumber placed on the table but no glasses and uh, it wasn’t until food was hitting our table that we could get the attention of someone who could hook us up. And again, the did turn it around by bringing an extra portion of fries to apologise for the delay.
So the food was totally on the money, loved my pizza and my hubby, loved his… The extra fries was a nice added touch and I 100% appreciated the gesture. I will definitely come back and hopefully next time it will be less manic and I’ve no doubt the staff are friendly and mean well, just we caught them on a day when everything seems chaotic. Am open to a take-​two on this place, maybe a late evening mid-​week pizza date ;-)

This restaurant is the coolest most modern place to be! My inner hipster was immediately attracted to the exterior and interior (especially the fact that the Toilets are in a wardrobe) and the food was excellent. Service was lovely and helpful and the facility was sparkling clean.
Be there or be square!

Love platform. It’s so yummmmm
Deffo an epic spot for hangover meal with the gals. Pizza, wings and sides. Cud Ya ask for anything better?!?
Last time was here got the anti pasta plate to start, Peppo pizza for main and baked cheesecake for desert. Not rele that adventurous I know, but the pizza was key. Really crispy thin crust, which is just the way I like it.
Baked cheese cake was best I’ve had in a while. So vanillaish. Cwaffffe was top notch too.
Cheap, modern, good qual food. No complaints :)
