Japes Soho

Visited Japes Soho with a couple of friends on a weekend around 6pm. It was still fairly quiet, so we could have easily walked in. We tried both the Chicago-style and the London deep dish. The pizzas themselves were really good, and the dough definitely makes it satisfying and well made. Some pizzas were more flavourful than others, and overall they leaned quite heavily on the cheese, but we still had a really great experience. My advice would be to go for pizzas with saltier, more savoury-based toppings, as they have more flavour and help the toppings come through against the thicker, doughier Chicago-style base. The creamier, cheesier pizzas were more muted in comparison these were the least popular in our group and just didn’t have much flavour.

Visited with friends for dinner, and even though we arrived almost an hour earlier than our reservation, the incredibly kind hostess did her best to accommodate us. We ordered three pizzas, one Chicago-style and two London-style (Margherita, Chicken, and Pesto). We liked all of them, and the hot honey sauce on the side was a great addition!

We were in the area and wanted some good and different food (different from the Indian food and traditional English food were were eating a lot of on our trip). We had never had London style pizza before so we ordered the Pesto Manifesto and the Classic pizzas London style. The crust was perfectly crunchy and a little more like pan style. I loved my Classic pizza with the shavings of parmesan on top.. didn't feel too heavy and wasn't greasy. I tried a bit of my husband's Pesto pizza and I will say that one felt a lot more greasy and heavy (probably because of the pesto). We definitely should have only gotten one pizza and shared because there was so much food. So highly recommend if you're coming here as a couple, to just share a pizza or have a couple pizzas for a group. I thought they prices were maybe a little high for what you're getting but all in all, we had a great experience here. Oh and if you're an American that loves a ranch and pizza moment, this ranch is thicker versus like a watery ranch.
