ever wondered what a pizza the size of a table would look like? wonder no longer. enter homeslice pizza in covent garden's neil's yard. hobbs and i met for dinner there before heading out to the west end last friday night, and we made all of our pizza fantasies come true. not least of all because of the prosecco they served on tap, nor because of the super attractive and attentive wait staff they had working that night. no no no, not for those reasons alone. partly for those reasons, partly because of freaken table-sized pizza reasons.
we split a pizza fifty/fifty, and decided on half goats shoulder, red kale and sumac yoghurt, and half queen scallops, salsa verde, peanuts and watercress. right? how incredible do they both sound. that question is rhetorical, because i actually already know the answer; the answer is "very".
we each ate no more than a quarter of that damn pizza each, which left us tones for the girls we were meeting before the theatre. the restaurant was filling up super quickly, and there was a line all the way out the door, and we were two people sat at a table made for four. rather than give up two of our seats, we grabbed the rest of the pizza to go and sat out in neil's yard eating cold pizza on paper plates like couple of tramps. hahah...i only like sharing with friends, not strangers.
have you been to homeslice; which is your favourite pizza?
