Three Joes Sourdough Pizza — Restaurant in Winchester

I’m traveling so my appetite has not caught on to the 8 hour time difference. Realizing that it was getting late I dashed to the square to forage for something anything to sustain me, and so pleased with my hasty decision. I plopped myself at an empty table and in no time I was greeted by a very nice and attentive waiter. I believe it may have been the owner or manager that brought my pint, equally as friendly (a value that is lately in short supply). I ordered a simple pepperoni pie. Let’s face it, the bedrock of a good pizza is the crust. They have nailed it in that department. Not thick and bready, crisp at the edge and a couple of those wonderful air bubbles, I don’t know why, but I love those. The sauce was spot on, tasting of fresh tomato lightly seasoned with garlic and oregano. They use a good quality pepperoni, not salty or too thick, it gets that nice little crispy edge. Fellow pursuers of the perfect pie know what I’m talking about. As I said, it was late and I realized that these lads were ready to close shop, but they started the breakdown quietly and respectfully so as not to make me feel rushed. I highly recommend dining here for every reason and expectation...

We were seated during a busy lunchtime service by a girl who confessed she'd recently started at the company so to bear with her. We luckily got a table outside so could enjoy the weather and view over the Cathedral grounds and were given a few minutes to browse the menu.

There is a good choice of Italian food available with a few combinations you won't find elsewhere. It is an affordable priced menu in comparison to other highstreet pizzarias and despite being her second day our waitress had a good knowledge of the venue and was quick to find out information if she didn't know. We each ordered a pizza and I was awkward enough to ask for a custom pizza that wasn't on the menu and they arrived better than expected. We also ordered some roasted potatoes and salad and my one complaint is that the table wasn't big enough!

It's only been a few weeks since launch and we have visited Three Joes four times! :D we're really happy an independent like this has opened in Winchester and look forward to seeing it grow over the...

I keep hoping every time I go back it's going to be that little bit better but each time it falls that little short yet again, service is always shocking, so blunt and made to feel beneath them, I've been served by the same person 3 times while sitting outside and each time I give them the benefit of the doubt thinking that it's busy and they are stretched and stressed so cut them some some slack, but it just seems like it's just the way he is, pizza took about 30 mins to arrive which I think is fine on a busy day, but when it did come the dough still seemed a little raw, the toppings were great and seemed fresh and good quality, this isn't a review so say the place is bad because I'm sure people have there own personal experiences but it is just a little shout out to have a look at these issues please so we can come back and enjoy a great pizza in...
