For all you pizza lovers out there, Home Slice has got to be one of the tastiest pizzas I ever had. And trust me, I’ve tried them all. If you like your pizza oven baked and served with an authentic manner, this is the place for you. Their specially designed wood-fired oven is the secret element in what is turned out to be as masterful move in creating fresh, great tasting food.

I had the pleasure to visit this place again a few days ago and what an awesome experience it was.

A Bit about the Company:

Originally started by Mr. Ry Jessop in 2011, he would attend events and markets using his custom-made mobile version of their wood-fired oven. Without fail, they would sell out in record time. So realising that he may be onto something here and already having a sound knowledge in the field of restaurants, he managed to open up the first branch of Home Slice in London’s Covent Garden.

With brother Alan Jessop taking care of the business side of things, they have now gone on from strength to strength with their lucrative brand and have gone on to open two more stores in the London area.

The Venue:

Convert Garden is always bustling with activity but the branch in Wells Street is tucked away nicely so you’ll always get seating pretty much straight away.

The atmosphere is almost “homely” inside, given the friendly greeting customers enjoy, the great overall ambience and warm service.

It costs £20 for a huge pizza (20 inches in total) is such a bargain! Easily big enough to share 3 ways or possibly enough for one seriously hungry person, lol! As an option, they also sell it by the slice priced at £4.

The actual pizza was beautifully cooked in the unique wood fired oven. The Margherita they serve is the most basic item from the menu but more adventurous combinations exist, i.e. venison or even ox cheek! You can even choose to have two halves of the same pizza with different toppings at no extra charge!

My personal favourite has to be the mushroom and pumpkin seed pizza! Wild mushrooms, melted ricotta, pumpkin seed and chilli, all the ingredients seem to fit so well together, it’s pure heaven!!

So my friends and I also decided to go for two half toppings pizzas, one being classic salami, rocket & parmesan and the other new wild venison & pomegranate-pickled kale. Absolutely delicious, although I still can’t decide which one I liked better!

One small tip on your visit there. With an eatery like this, don’t expect to use any cutlery, your hands will suffice as adequate utensils, lol. Note how I rolled up my pizza slice. Yes, it was that large! (see image)

Overall, a highly recommend and fun social dining experience with enormously delicious pizzas made to share with friends and family alike!! Definitely one to go back to again and again.
