Fresh Pizza at PiPizza, Winchester
If you venture ever so slightly out of the centre of Winchester, just down past the train station, you will find a lovely little row of shops. Amongst the local take aways and convenience stores, sits Pi Pizza Winchester.
We stumbled across Pi Pizza last year while looking for somewhere different to try. Using my trusty Instagram account to search for local food #hashtags, we were pleasantly surprised to find Pi (a great example of how social media can facilitate support for local businesses).
Looking extremely festive this time of year, Pi is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. Covered in mirrored tiles. the huge pizza oven is decorated in a rather ‘interesting’ style, but it does make a statement.
As always, we opted for the sharing pizza which allows for two or three toppings. We love goats cheese on pizza so the first topping had to be the goats cheese, crispy kale and caramalized red onion. The second topping we picked was the wild boar salami, piquillo peppers and red chills. Delicious! Both sides were incredible but my personal preference had to be the goats cheese as the crispy kale was to die for.
With eyes much bigger than our bellies and given that we were ravenous at the beginning of the meal (and still feeling slightly peckish after our main), we decided to order not one, but two desserts! Nutella ‘cannoli’ and the caprese chocolate and almond cake.
The cannoli weren’t really what I would call a cannoli (picture above). In my mind, a cannoli is tube shaped and the filling is inside the tube. However, these were more like off cuts of dough covered in Nutella. Which to be honest, were bloody gorgeous and I would happily have any day of the week. But encase you are planning on going, just thought I’d let you know. The other pre warning is that they are way bigger than I thought they were going to be so we were pretty stuffed after eating them, the picture really does not do them justice.
Overall, I would highly recommend Pi Pizza to anyone. The food is so good and the restaurant itself is so cosy and welcoming. The prefect date night or family venue just minutes walk from the centre of Winchester.
