Welcome to FridgeCam! We are SORTEDfood. Today it's a London's best. You know the drill-- three of us, three price points-- today, pizza. Ahh! Ahh. That is a great-looking crust. [MUSIC PLAYING] Pizza! [MUSIC PLAYING] I want to be controversial. [MUSIC PLAYING] Surprise, surprise, Shoreditch end of town-- Jade, Stephanie, and Denny-- you all suggested it on Twitter. I'm going to Homeslice. So they do pizza by the slice, or they also do-- they just have big rounds. So I'm going to get one of those, but 50/50 flavor, because I can't make up my mind. I'm going to sit on the fence. That must be so sore. So I've chosen to split mine in half. Half is a tomato base with kimchi, a porcini cream, and basil. And the other half is a butternut squash puree. It's got cavolo nero, goat's cheese, and it's finished with a nigella crumb. And I went for a Jamie-sized portion. [MUSIC PLAYING] Those are two very unusual pizza flavorings. I've been to Homeslice before and had a goat pizza, and it was bloody brilliant. It was great. You've instantly alienated 50% of our audience. I'm seeing two controversial things here. Let me tell you about my place. It's Pizza Union. You guys suggested it. And I think it's a great choice, because it is super cheap. I know what I'm getting. Yeah? Yeah. I love this, but I know people hate it-- ham and pineapple. I don't know how they're going to compete with that speed and that price. [MUSIC PLAYING] That might be the thinnest pizza crust I've ever seen. Like you said, black bits-- best bit of the pizza crust. I'm guessing it's going to be super crispy. Boys, should we have a real Italian pizza? That's a pizza. That looks so great. [MUSIC PLAYING] So we're in Shoreditch, which is one of the most creative and fruity parts of London. We've come to Pizza Pilgrims, and I think they do the best pizza in London. [MUSIC PLAYING] So my pizza is full-on traditional Neapolitan-style pizza. [MUSIC PLAYING] Can we just admit that this one is unlikely to make it back to the studio in one piece? And we should order a second one, just in case, on the way back, this happens to-- I don't know-- encounter a terrible accident. Might have also ordered something as a little dessert-- so I got two of the surprises, one to take back to the studio and share with the boys, and another one, test to make sure that it's OK to take back. Oh now, [GASPING]. Yeah! [LAUGHS] Can we just eat a pizza now? Dig in. [MUSIC PLAYING] That takes you on a journey. That takes you from Italy to South Korea. I love the fact that the wood fire gives it a real char and a crisp. I love how sweet it is until you swallow it. And then suddenly, you get that tang from the kimchi. It's not like a real heat, like a chili kick. But it has just got that really nice tang to it-- kimchi on a pizza. I've wanted to try it. And ironically, this one was actually my favorite. It's got the goat cheese on it. It's got the sweetness of the butternut, but with the black onion seeds and a slight spiced, curried puree on the the base. It's kind of almost Indian-skewed, but with goat's cheese and Italian cabbage. It's another wacky fusion that's delicious. That is a strong goat's cheese. It's nice. [INAUDIBLE] It's really good. It's really good. You seem nervous about ours, because you're sweating quite profusely. What can I say? Should we move on? [LAUGHTER] It has something to do with the kimchi. This is from Pizza Union. [MUSIC PLAYING] Right off the bat, I love that you've gone for ham and pineapple. It makes me so happy that you've done. I had to. That crust is so thin. It's brilliant. The bit of char, there's black pepper sprinkled over the top. It's perfectly seasoned. Now, these guys actually precook their bases before they go in the oven. So it is ridiculously fast, like you are paying, and you're basically coming to ready-made pizza a minute later. I don't think the Italians would have had pineapple. But what the Italians love is a really, really thin, crisp base. I'm so glad that you've spoken about what the Italians love when it comes to pizza. So I've gone classic Italian. This is Pizza Pilgrims. This is the classic Neapolitan-style pizza. Can we taste it? Another great-looking base. [MUSIC PLAYING] I like that the andouille makes it really oily as well. That's the one that I just nailed the slice. I didn't even realize it was going. And it's just disappeared. Now I know exactly how to finish this off. Why would anyone buy a sweet pizza? I haven't. What, that's icing sugar. It's a calzone. It's not a pizza. Oh, well. When someone offers you the opportunity to get a Mars bar calzone, you don't say no. What have you done? Let's talk moolah-- Peace Pilgrims, proper Italian pizza, how much do you reckon? So for that one, I'm going to say 9 quid. I would say yeah, 10 to 12 quid. 9 pound, 25. I'd definitely pay 9 pound, 25 for that. It's just cheap ingredients put together really well. I stuck to a single flavor. I'd have gone for a different topping, but that probably doesn't affect the price a huge amount. Comparison to this, to that-- 9 pound, 24-- I'm going to put my neck out and say 7 pounds. 6.95. You said 6.95. He said 7 pounds, and you said 6-- that's such an on-the-fence answer. [LAUGHTER] It's less than 7, but not by a lot. This, because ham and pineapple is the best topping, was 5 pounds 50. That is-- that's incredible value. I know. I don't actually know how they do that-- great pizza for that price. What about this monster? Well, that's obviously already more expensive, because it's huge. And you've got mental toppings on there. Weird and wonderful, yeah-- as I said, I've had a go. Therefore, I know exactly how much it is. So have you ever had Homeslice? I have not. I have not been to Homeslice. So I'll leave it to you to guess. 16 pounds and 42 pence. Well, you already know. It's a little bit more than that. It works out at a pound per inch. It's 20 pounds. And I don't want to bring math into it, but, hey, area of a pizza makes this three times as much pizza as these two. [LAUGHS] I literally couldn't care less about what you just said. [LAUGHTER] Therefore, these are much better value, because I'd still be happy with that. [LAUGHTER] So look, conclusion time-- andouille, ham and pineapple, which one? Kimchi. A mixture. We all came around this table thinking that ours is London's best pizza. Have you changed your mind, having seen the other two? They're all so different. And they all do different things. What we have learned is that London is great for wood-fire-cooked, decent-base pizza. And then you choose what goes on top, kind of depending. Would I change my mind? I want to go back and try the other weird flavors of this one. If I had a favorite, I'd tell you. But I think they all do different jobs. I'm not sitting on the fence like these two-- London's best pizza. Don't fancy me in with him. Well, get off the fence. Fine, I'm choosing this. It's also the most expensive at the table. Oh, because math, yeah. [LAUGHTER] Thank you to everyone who commented on Twitter and Facebook and recommended pizza places for us to go, especially you who recommended Pizza Hut or Domino's. I know where you live. Anyway, thank you very much for watching. Give the video a like if you liked it, and please comment down below and let us know-- what should we be looking for next? Such a strong category. How did you think these guys did? Give us a like if you thought we did a good job. Or dislike if you thought we didn't do a good job. Either way, comment down below with some more things that we can explore in and around London. Or talking about exploring things-- Oh. Should we explore a dad joke [INAUDIBLE]?? I would love it. OK, great-- now, how do you tell how heavy a chili pepper is? I do not know. You give it away, give it away, give it away, now! [LAUGHTER] Give it away, give it away, give it away-- I told you you'd like that one. I really did like that one.
