Platform Pizza serves wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza from Galway's converted old train station building at Eyre Square, applying authentic Italian techniques to a menu built around quality, often local, toppings. The Margherita and burrata pizzas are signature orders, reflecting a focus on classic combinations executed well rather than an overly experimental menu. The industrial-meets-heritage setting of the former train station gives the restaurant a distinctive character among Galway's dining options, with high ceilings and an open, informal layout.
