Pizza with my Homeslices

Payday is always going to be the best day of the month, especially when you work in a great central London location and all your work friends want to try out different restaurants.

February was a great shout from me, I picked Homeslice. After seeing copious Instagram pictures of these monstrosity that they called pizza I was in, it was love at first sight! I am a self-proclaimed pizzaholic. 

There are various different locations in London, we went to the Fitzrovia one just a convenient 10 minute walk from the office (maybe too convenient). They don't have a physical menu as such but they have a board with their menu of the day, which is amazing as everyday could be different. 

They also aren't your standard pizzas. There were 6 of us, so we went for their 20 inch pizzas. In fact it's either 20 inch or a slice so you might as well go all out. We had 2 and we had 4 different toppings as each pizza was half each topping. 

We had;
Mushroom, ricotta, chill base and sunflower seeds on a white base,
Salami, rocket and parmesan,
Peppadew peppers and Cumberland named cheese,
And they did do a margarita ( they had to do at least one standard one)



But they also had one which I would have picked with goat's shoulder and mint yoghurt and some other interesting combinations. And all the pizzas have a super thin base with an amazing doughy crust, just what I look for in a pizza.

If in doubt go to Homeslice or you can order takeout. It may even be on Deliveroo. 

 Homeslice | A solid pizza, with an excellently thin base and perfectly doughy crust! 9.5/10! I will be back!

Navarros es muy bien

Tapas tapas tapas. A simple description would be Spanish small plates full of delicious delight.

Looking for an authentic Spanish experience in a homely hidden retreat, Navarros would be the place to be. Just off Tottenham Court Road on the ever popular Charlotte Street, also home to the exclusive sushi joint Roka (a girl can dream). 


I went for a client lunch and we dug in and got plenty for us all to indulge from; garlic and chilli king prawns, to breaded goats cheese, chorizo and patatas bravas finished off with a lovely bottle of wine. And for dessert churros. I love churros! 

Would I go back again? Hell yes and I would take the whole family! What a hidden delight! 

Navarros | Positively delightful, a good solid 8.25/10.
