A CHEAP vs EXPENSIVE PIZZA in LONDON!

My first pizza video on the channel. Now, I'll be honest... I do like pizza but it's not one of my favourite things to eat but as I haven't done a review like this on the channel so far, I thought it would be a good time to get one done and do a price comparison between two. How does an £8.50 pizza compare with a £26 pizza in Central London?

Olives are an aquired taste. I find. I really disliked them as a kid but can eat an entire dish of them now. Ditto blue cheese. I really disliked stilton until I tried it again when i was about 18. Tastebuds do mature.

[@chrisryanst]

I can never understand why pizzas are so expensive as they are made with minimal amounts of ingredients and cooked in minutes. The second one is better by far by on looks alone. Notice your subs are 10.5k already 👏😉

@@martindunstan8043 for me - and I believe even Italians themselves - pizza is a humble, even street food. It isn't an event food, although people have tried to market it that way. If I'm going to truly spoil myself and spaff 30 quid on a meal by myself it ain't gonna be pizza

Hi Gary, great review again 👍🏽 I was making sourdough pizza 15 years ago before it was a thing. I thoroughly researched the art of Neapolitan pizza making. I can tell you that both pizzas looked pretty good to me although the first one looked as close to authentic as you can get. Sadly like a lot of Italian food it gets bastardised here in the Uk. The crust and base of both looked spot on with just the right amount of charring and thin crispy base. The first one margarita looked great cheese had melted into the sauce. 👍🏽 People are used to cheddar and Red Leicester which have no place on an authentic pizza. Also the amount of sauce looked just right if as you said it was properly made and full of flavour. Price of the first one seemed a bit steep but as you said pizza is a lot of dough 😂👍🏽

[@GaryEats]

Thank you mate. If you know how to make a Neapolitan pizza then I need to come and have a try, I love it!

[@raymcdonald6734]

Hey, Italian lady here, I learned to make pizza 🍕 age 3 with my nonna and yes authentic is best and Italians do it better! Ummmm 😳

[@chrisguygeezer]

I agree. The first pizza is for me, and at 20 inches, is enough for two. So just £13 each portion. The second pizza looked gloopy and heavy. The whole point of a pizza is, that it's light, and very quick to cook.

Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman, Great comparison video i really do like these type. Re my opinion, i wish i had taste vision as Pizza two was a hands down winner for me on price, looks and toppings alone. When i saw the first pizza, the first thing that came to mind was it was plain looking, and wheres the cheese ? but i trust you fully on the taste side of things. The second Pizza just looked so much better, and the cheese was very clearly there. Im Northern so a bit tight, but im prepared to sacrifice a little taste when its ether £26 + service charge, compared to £8-95, as that's nearly £19 extra for the first Pizza, and that's a lot of money. Chris. PS-Love Black olives, dislike Green ones's.

[@GaryEats]

Hi Chris. Thanks for your comments and a nice assessment to read as well. I like doing these videos as you almost kill two birds with one stone. The lack of mozzarella on the first pizza was the disappointing part. Thank you mate, all the best. PS. Olives are superb.

The first one looked alright, although it was thin, and I could do without all the lawn trimmings on top.

Another great review, Gary, pizza is very subjective, a proper thin crust pizza with a nice crust around the edge, baked in a wood fire own,is very hard to beat. Been to Naples many times and always enjoy a few pizza's. Never been to Homeslice, we usually go to Eataly for pizza, but been to Icco, and it's fine for a pizza made in a gas oven and with ingredients which aren't top notch, ergo they can charge less. But that's my subjective point of view, of course. Keep up the fabulous work and speak to you soon, mate. Have a wonderful rest of your week.

[@jfergs.3302]

Just curious, but would you say your Naples pizzas were the best you've had? There's a whole mythos about Naples pizza, the best you can get, where they originated etc... I've been a few times myself, and though they're very good, I wouldn't say amazing. FTR, my most memorable pizza was had in Pisa :)

Spot on Frank. I'm jealous of your travels to Naples to try their soupy Neapolitan pizzas! My absolutely favourite. Thanks all the best!

[@DrFrankLondon]

@@jfergs.3302 if you go the birthplace restaurant of Neapolitan pizza, it's the best piece of pizza you can put in your mouth. But unfortunately the pizza industry in Naples had become more of a tourist trap, so now, it's difficult to find the best spots. But there is in fact a law in Naples on how the pizza is supposed to be made, if you want to call your pizza Neapolitan pizza in Naples, the pizzeria has to follow that law.

Icco's for me, looked far more appetising. Homeslice, prices were outrageous. £24 for a full margherita!, the thinest pizza I've seen with a smear of tomato, invisible cheese, and a basil leaf. Looked like it'd cost them buttons to make, probably about a £20 profit margin on each one. That said, cos i don't mind paying for top scoff, it was their menu that really put me off. Nothing on it I liked the sound of, some weird combos. I mean, curried lamb pizza!!! And your second half looked like a field of grass. I don't want that much green on a pizza.

The prices in the first place were ridiculous. Born in NY and have enjoyed pizza all over the US, France, Italy and the UK, and now that pizza ovens are so common in many friends home’s too. It’s flour, water, yeast, salt,olive oil, crushed tomatoes and some cheese. 26 pounds?

[@GaryEats]

Fair enough Carol. The first pizza could have easily been shared by two people!

[@lvthud]

Don't forget the cost to lease the space, for that location you are looking right around £120 sqft per month. That part of London is not a cheap place to do business, much like the Village in NYC, you look at it and think has to be cheap, then see the rental prices.

[@disarchitected]

Joes Pizza in NYC is $23 for a 21inch Margherita. Not a million miles off the £24 for a 20inch Homeslice Margherita. I think you are thinking about prices in the past, they have gone up everywhere recently.

[@redfrontdoor]

I did think holy moly when i saw the price but that would feed 2 -3 people and it is London. Most places are expensive to eat at these days.

[@sheilam4525]

I thought the first was very expensive until I saw the size of it and the fact that it pretty much does two people or more! Agree on the olives, Gary, I used to detest them but in the last couple of years I have developed a penchant for them! 😂

[@glamdolly30]

Good point, when you divide it by two, it's not such a pricey pizza. I like this way of eating a restaurant pizza - choosing one between two, with two totally different toppings, makes the experience much more interesting. I liked the look of that one, as personally I prefer a thin pizza. Some pizza arrives at the table way too thick and dough-ey for my taste. That makes the whole thing horribly filling - one slice and you're done!

Amazing pizza comparison 🍕👌🙌☺️ Good to be said about the both really. Both looked freshly,well made.both was generous with toppings. The choice of the half and harf would be more appealing to me,just for that reason-best of both worlds. The salami,rocket and Parmesan is my second favourite type of pizza. Veggie pizza is my favourite. I would give the olives a miss.tried a few times over the years- just can’t like them and I’ve tried them in one of the best places in the world- Rhodes,Greece. Another most excellent episode sir ….

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Glenda. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ytamb01]

Well, that's interesting. I thought the first one was horribly over-priced but a 20" pizza is nearly 3 times the area of a 12" pizza (using pi * r-squared as the formula), which for me at least is very counter-intuitive. So they were both about the same price! Given that, number one wins.

[@GaryEats]

The point is individually £26/28 is a lot for a pizza but it’s a lot bigger so it makes the decision more difficult.

[@TheRip72]

Comparing them by their diameter is misleading so I agree that by the time you calculate area, they are not that far off each other in price. The first one is definitely ideal for sharing. I make my own pizza quite often at home & have found it very easy to use too much topping, so I am not surprised it tasted great.

[@PeacefulPirate]

Nice getting your thoughts on two very different pizza options. It's London so deffo paying a fair bit. I thought the second one looked like it had more toppings on it and a little more appetizing tbh. But probably a close call taste wise.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you my friend. All the best!

[@carolgriffiths1682]

Great review again. On first glance the second pizza looked better but you’re right - 2 could share the first one so price wise not a lot of difference, my only negative was I thought the margarita half looked boring - there looked to be some great choices on the menu tho.

Thanks!!

[@virgil_tb2]

Thanks for another terrific review Gary, really enjoy the channel. Personally the first one did look good, but can’t justify that cost for a pizza even if it is good and much bigger. The second one had definitely more cheese which is something I enjoy on a pizza. You could actually get a couple of different cheaper pizzas for the price of the first one, thus more variety in toppings, so for me, probably the 2nd one would be my choice.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks 👍

[@8atheist476]

Great review. Definitely the first pizza. It's better quality, plus the half and half thing makes it more memorable. Def take a lady out to eat at homeslice rather than Icco.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. I do agree with you 😊

[@andreashaynes3346]

Great video Gary. Homeslice possibly the better of the two, if 2 people eating. Icco, great value for money. Both looked really tasty. I wouldn’t have been able to manage without a partner. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely agree with you Andreas. Thank you!

[@2spoons]

Ooooh as pizza lover..... and a 20" pizza I'd have loaded those..... great video again!!!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very kind

[@richardhinchliffe1678]

Second pizza for me great review once again

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Richard :)

[@tommyball1863]

New to the channel, love your videos! Where was the first place? I lost count of the number of S Class’s and 7 Series that drove past in the background!

[@GaryEats]

Hello Tommy. Welcome mate and hope you enjoy the videos. It was in James Street in Marylebone. Thanks for watching!

[@karenclancey2557]

Yes nice to see pizza on your menu great review , must admit the dearest pizza I’m with you looked the real thing . The cheaper pizza still looked good ,the ingredients sold it for me as well.👏🤩🙏🏼❤️

[@GaryEats]

Glad you enjoyed it Karen!

[@martinsamuels2897]

The second pizza is great value for your ££ where as if its flavour you want I would go for the 1st pizza great review Gary thank you once again

[@GaryEats]

More than welcome Martin. I think you made the right choice!

[@jeffrhorer1811]

Hi Gary, great episode. Truthfully, the cheaper pizza is my kind of pizza. The lower price is nice too! Cheers!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you! No provlem

[@Blacksmith1959]

I would recommend Pizza Paradiso in Finchley Road, not far the tube station. They do great pizzas as well as pasta dishes.

[@GaryEats]

I've been recommended to go to Pizza Pappagone!

[@hansosl]

I really enjoy your videos 👍

[@GaryEats]

Thank you!

[@sigiloXXX]

When it comes to Pizza, the thinner the better. I would have tried the Chorizo, Corn & Coriander. Add the Jalapeño peppers.. Always looking for something new. Olives in oil are many times better than in brine. No anchovy pizzas? Guten Appetit!

[@GaryEats]

I actually do prefer a thicker crust but that's each to their own. I like pizza but I don't love it so my opinion isn't valid too much on this one haha. Thanks for watching!

[@hungtai7671]

Hi Gary, please do more videos like this. Expensive vs cheap burger sounds good.

[@GaryEats]

I can do that!

[@haroldclarke3267]

Great video Gary, I'm divided really on the choice of my favourite one, I can't ask the missus because of nearly 50 years if marriage and she was born just outside Naples she would most probably throw the pizza wheel at me, but when she makes them my favourite one she makes is the anchovy with with peppers with loads of chillies, great video Gary carry on the great work. Cheers

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Harold. Hahah, that made me laugh mate. That sounds delicious. Neapolitan as well I'm guessing? Thanks for watching!

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Gary, For the money and taste #2 gets my vote ! All the best from the U.S.

[@GaryEats]

Good choice Jerry!

[@jamesmarco9685]

You seem like a nice bloke Gary. I have subscribed and look forward to more videos.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you James. More videos on the way!

[@stevecohen8206]

You’ve tried the 20”, 12”, now I would suggest you try a pizza like no other. It’s a deep pan, about 2”/3” thick, juicy and about 8” in diameter. Japes in Dean Street, Soho. It’s terrific IMO, been there a few times now with the family. It’s not traditional, clearly. But it is quirky and delicious.

[@GaryEats]

I will give it a look Steve. Thank you mate!

[@suzybirdy]

For me, Pizza is def a lunch or snack, I would never go out for an evening meal and have it. They do them really well here, lovely thin crust with sesame seeds. OK, the first one you tried, I would love ..... the side with Rocket, Salami, and Parmesan for me please. The second one looked like any old pizza from Tesco to me. Although I love olives. Thanks, Gary, as always for your wonderful TV titillation. It's always good 👍 ❤ Suzy

[@stephenkhuttan5184]

Great video all the time, when are you coming to Bedford to do food review.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Stephen. Drop some recommendations and I'll see what I can do!

[@nickycotton6137]

The 1st one for me. Looked gorgeous & toppings were right up my street.

[@GaryEats]

Good choice!

[@sandram44]

This one had me drooling, so much so that I just ordered a pizza for my dinner tonight. I loved the first one with the really thin crust as it looked so fresh. I used to hate olives, but like you, relish them now. Thanks, Gary.

[@GaryEats]

That’s great how was the pizza ? 🙏

[@sandram44]

@GaryEats I'm sad to say not as good as yours.

[@kevinnoone8828]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO GARY

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Kevin!

[@GemR38]

Hi Gary, would you be willing to give Pizza Union a visit? See how it compares to ICCO as a cheaper pizza venue in Central London? I'm still making my way through all your videos 😂. Really loving your honest and fair opinions. 👍👏

[@GaryEats]

I've already been Gem albeit not for a review and loved it!

[@beltxabeltxa]

Very nice that too, love it

[@GaryEats]

Thank you kindly!!

[@ngatiramona]

💖💜🩵💙💚💛🧡❤️ Gary and lovely Cameraman, Buongiorno! Pizza party.. looks beautiful. 1st place if I'm treating a friend. But I go to 2nd place scooting about during the week. Gluten and dairyfree, please. 😊😊 Thank you gentlemen, for another great review!❤❤ Bellissimo!!

[@GaryEats]

Hello hello hello. Glad you're enjoying the videos Mona and there's plenty of gluten and dairy free pizza places in London! More than welcome. Ciao!

[@jimplunkett7283]

congrats on 10k subs, that was quick, and well deserved. You must go up to yorkshire and sample the beef dripping fish and chips as a southerner. Whitby is a good place to do it and its chalk and cheese in terms of quality.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jim. I'm in Yorkshire next week to try some of the beef dripping fish and chips. Cannot wait mate!

[@wolverinescratch]

Home slice for me I rarely eat pizza and love the traditional look to the pizza

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree and me too.

[@stevecohen8206]

Looks lovey to me Gary. I would’ve put chilli oil all around the edge of the Homeslice.

[@GaryEats]

Ahhh lovely stuff Steve.
