Homeslice has been the best kept secret in Covent Garden for the last few months. Now, sadly for those of us who have been loyal fans sneaking there on our lunch breaks, THE SECRET IS OUT. Bloggers and pizza enthusiasts have discovered this little gem so I SUPPOSE I too should be willing to share...reluctantly.

Homeslice is tucked away in the colourful little world that is Neal's Yard. The atmosphere is low-key and relaxed at lunch time - a great break away from the office if you work near by. At night, when the wine is flowing, this little venue is buzzing with shiny, happy friends tackling huge slices of pizza whilst trying to avoid being totally covered in tomato sauce.

The size of the glorious, 20 - inch wood-fire pizzas is definitely one of my favourite things about Homeslice. They're the perfect size to share with two of your best homies and the variety of toppings on the menu have your mouth watering as soon as you step in. If you're not brave enough to go for a  whole pizza a few of the pizzas are always available by the slice. The menu changes slightly from day to day but be sure to look out for 1) Lamb shoulder, watercress and red wine soaked goat's cheese 2) Salami and Rocket (a Homeslice classic - the salami is delicate and tasty) 3) any of their pizzas with a butternut squash base! Absolutely delicious - take my advice and go for two different varieties on your pizza, going half and half is always the best way forward and helps to avoid food-envy!

Naturally, on a night out with friends you will need to wash down this delightful food with a suitable beverage. Luckily, prosecco and draught beer are available by the glass, unluckily for your wallet - you pay for wine by the centimeter (the waiter will measure up how much you've drunk at the end of your meal) so the bill might come as a little more than you expected if you've got a little carried away on a Friday night. However, it's tried and tested that friendly and efficient service, wine by the centimeter, tasty toppings and 20-inch pizzas result in some happy homies (see below for proof). Try it out with yours soon please!
