Restaurant Review: Homeslice Pizza. If you love wood-fired pizzas, Homeslice Pizza is well worth checking out. There are now six locations dotted around the capital. We popped into the one at Queen Street in the City of London last week. If you’re looking for the best pizza in London, places to eat near Mansion House or lunch in Cannon Street, grab yourself 20 inches of heaven.
“20-inch wood-fired pizzas with interesting flavour combinations are served at Homeslice. With paper plates, paper napkins and no cutlery, it’s a no-nonsense eating experience which will leave you full and thankful you went,” Homegirl London
I was invited to review the Fitzrovia branch of Homeslice back in 2015 and still have fond memories. Having moved near the city of London, we’d spotted the large Queen Street branch and were looking forward to checking it out. We were bowled over once again by these delicious pizzas, so I decided to write another review!
Homeslice Pizza Menu
The pizzas are big, 20 inches to be exact. It’s great to visit these restaurants with a friend so you can share the pizza. You can order some of the variants by the slice if you can’t agree on your toppings. We asked for our pizza to be divided into two flavours which were Cauliflower Shawarma with Tahini plus Pomegranate and Chickpeas on one side. The other half was Neal’s Yard Four Cheese with Jalapeno Salsa and Rye Crumb. Wow, this pizza has the most perfect thin crust, is absolutely delicious and incredibly easy to eat so it won’t take you long to devour. I loved both toppings, the Cauliflower Shawarma was creamy and exotic while the Cheese with Jalapeno had a fiery kick.

Homeslice Pizza City of London Restaurant Interiors
Restaurant Interior
This branch of Homeslice occupies a sizeable space. There are a few tables and chairs outside. When you venture in you will probably notice the gigantic pizza oven towards the back. There are a few booths along one wall. The décor has an industrial feel with brick style flooring, painted breeze block walls and rustic wood tables with metal legs. Large windows let in light to brighten up the room. It’s a great place to hang out with colleagues after a hard day working in the city.
