Slice - Sourdough Pizza — Restaurant in Epping Forest

Don't believe the hype - the people who have reviewed this place, know nothing about pizza.

I had big expectations for this place, as its USP is sourdough pizza.

Firstly let's deal with the pizza: My pizza had not been stretched properly and as a consequence, when it came out of the oven, it was an 8" pizza than a 12". Secondly, the pizza that I received was wafer-thin. I recommend that they increase the amount of dough that they use to make each pizza.

Being a vegan, I ordered the 'Living on the Veg' pizza and asked them to swap out the vegan mozzarella for extra mushrooms, which they said they would do. However, when I received my pizza, there was no additional mushrooms, and the red pepper that they put on the pizza had not been sliced, I had a quarter of a red pepper sat on one slice of pizza. Also, it looked as if the mushrooms had been sprinkled on after the pizza had been taken from the oven.

Location: The restaurant is located on Station Road which is super busy. The restaurant has openable bi-fold windows, and when these windows are open, you are essentially breathing in car fumes.

Overall review: All in all, definitely not worth the money with a vegan pizza being £12.99, no substance to the toppings.

If you want an authentic Italian pizza in Epping, go to Quore Matteo, (however, they still have their disappointments), but, if you want to have a night away from Epping, go to Moto Pizza in Chelmsford - it would close down both Slice and Quore Matteo in a heartbeat. Or, if you are in the City, head to Pizza East, Circolo Popolare, Homeslice, Pizza Pilgrims, etc.

As a lasting statement, what pizza restaurant sells a truffle pizza for £27.99 In Epping - Slice you do not know your market.

Il cibo...

Ten out of ten pizza. My pizza quest had slowed recently until Slice was mentioned, the new shop in Epping, is welcoming and has a seamless ordering system. The staff were very helpful and they have contactless and card (not sure about cash, I forgot to ask) so that's nice. Cooking time is around ten minutes but it felt fast. The pizza is incredible, the dough is light but with a good chew to it, the crispness of the outside is excellent and is ever so slightly toasted in places giving it different depths of flavour. Tomato is an often overlooking part of a pizza, but a good tomato will up a pizza's level. The tomato is good, it has richness but not overpowering. Its a nice touch when the tomato is more than just there. Cheese is also good and these few simple things make a magic whole. Price was £9 for a margherita and it is worth it.

It's easily made my top ten...

I recently visited Slice - Sourdough Pizza, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was extra friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home.

I ordered a classic pepperoni pizza, and it was fantastic. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside. Every bite was a taste of perfection!

They also have a great selection of toppings and specialty pizzas, so there's something for everyone. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get.
