A favorite for those looking for something beyond Chicago-style. The 'London-style' features a distinctive dough recipe and an 11-ingredient tomato sauce, with cheese that is caramelized around the edges for a savory crunch. Multiple reviewers highlight it as having a superior, 'pillowy' texture.
Tips from diners
The caramelized cheese around the edges is the highlight. It adds a great sweet and savory flavor that you won't find on standard pizzas.
The quintessential Japes order. A deep, buttery crust is filled with a thick layer of melting mozzarella, topped with premium pepperoni and a rich tomato sauce. Reviewers consistently praise the 'perfection' of the crust and the generous amount of toppings.
Tips from diners
This is a serious amount of food. One small pizza is easily enough for two people to share if you're ordering a side.
A favorite side dish featuring perfectly seasoned fries with a satisfying crunch. Reviewers consistently mention them as having a superior texture and praise the variety of house-made dipping sauces available.
Tips from diners
The 'garlic and herb' dip is the perfect companion for these. It's a great little side if the pizza feels like too much food.
A favored shared starter that uses the same high-quality dough as the pizzas. It features a deep-dish format packed with a generous amount of garlic butter and mozzarella. Reviewers name it as a mandatory addition to any order for those who love cheese.
Tips from diners
This is incredibly rich. Only order it if you have a large group to share with, or you'll have no room for the pizza!
The perfect choice for heat seekers. It features the signature deep-dish base topped with spicy nduja sausage and fresh chillies, finished with a drizzle of honey to balance the burn. Reviewers call it a bold and very successful flavor combination.
Tips from diners
The nduja adds a great smoky depth to the heat. Ask for extra house ranch on the side to help cool down your palate.
