Homeslice Pizza, London

I have never seen such ginormous pizzas as I saw (and ate) at Homeslice in London's Covent Garden. 20 inch pizzas and 11/2 litre bottles of wine make this the ideal venue for dinner out with your friends, where everything is made to a massive scale. It's busy and has a buzzing atmosphere but be prepared to wait - like all popular restaurants in the capital, which you can't book, you have to put your name down and wait. We waited for an hour but they let us leave our number and called us when a table became available, allowing us to go off for a cheeky cocktail to while away the time. 

Salami, rocket and parmesan; Chorizo, corn and coriander

The pizzas are genuinely huge so for a table of four who aren't starving, one would probably be sufficient. We had two and inevitably there was some left over. Homeslice offers the half and half option, allowing diners to choose 2 options of toppings to have on their pizza. Good idea considering one topping would probably get a bit boring on such a huge base and also the fact that surely no one would be able to decide on just one from all the varied and interesting options. Cauliflower cheese anyone?

Cauliflower cheese, aubergine, spinach and harissa; Courgette and artichoke

We opted for Salami, rocket and parmesan; courgette and artichoke; corn, chorizo and coriander and cauliflower cheese, aubergine, spinach and harissa. My favourite? Probably the cauliflower cheese - then again i'm a sucker for coriander and it went so well with the chorizo. To be honest they were all absolutely delicious and I would happily eat them all over again. Next time i'd love to try the pulled pork though - sounds amazing!

The huge bottles of wine are a novelty and one that comes at a rather pricey £44. That's the equivalent to 2 £22 bottles of wine - not too bad but slightly more than we were expecting. 

One and a half litres of wine!

I'd recommend Homeslice to anyone. The food is good, it's a fun idea, the atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly. Bring your friends and indulge in the biggest pizza you'll ever see - forget calorie counting - this definitely isn't the place for that.
