Homeslice is pure pizza heaven. You won’t find any salads, puddings or pastas here, it’s just delicious pizza. Nothing more. Nothing less.
After two years on the street, these pizza enthusiasts have found a home in Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden. Here they’ve built giant wood fire ovens and produce huge 20″ pizzas to eat in or out, by the slice or whole.
Interestingly, the news of Homeslice’s arrival on the London food scene has been quite hush-hush. Everyone who is in the know wants to keep it as their little secret. I can’t help but blab about it.
It is definitely a real foodie destination and you have to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get seriously messy. Egged-on by the sweet waitress, we went large with a whole 20″ pizza to share between just the two of us – this costs just £20 (slices are £4 each). With eight unusual options on the menu it is hard to select just one, so you can choose to have half-and-half. After much deliberation, we chose the salami and rocket, and the caprese pizza. Also on the menu was: mackerel, mint and pea; oxtail with horseradish cream; black pudding with apple and watercress. We weren’t brave enough to try any of these.
The bases are so thin they almost disintegrate in your hand, we found it easier to roll or fold the pizza before stuffing it in our mouths. The toppings are evenly piled on top, ultra fresh and tasty. Our favourite was the salami and rocket, a lovely combination of spicy meat and peppery leaves topped with creamy mozzarella.
Homeslice offers good food fast, a mecca for pizza lovers.
