Bit of a departure from your other thread 
This probably isn't the info you want right now but I've made pizzas like this and they're not that hard to do. There's some info on the website I've spammed at you a few times already but it's quite simple really - dough in a deep pan (cast iron works well) with the dough coming up the sides, layer of cheese, toppings, more cheese, tomato, grated hard italian cheese. Stick it in a hot oven and you're done.

That just doesn't look appealing at all :/

Looks more like a pie; not to say it wouldn't be tasty.

That looks stodgy and disgusting =S
Agreed - The base should just be a vessel for the tomatoey/cheesy/meaty goodness!
10% base, 15% tomato, 25% cheese, 50% toppings is about what I aim for

OP's pizza is a 'Chicago style' deep dish pizza. I wish there were places in London doing such thing because I'd be there in a heartbeat. Tell me what you lot think of the gorgeous beauty in the link below?

That's the very site I was trying to resist posting the link to That was the basis for my attempt at making it at home (which was delicious btw, but obviously not what I normally think of as a pizza).

I much prefer thin crust (hand made and cooked in a wood fired oven), however, I'd give a pizza pie a good go and enjoy it I reckon So I too would be interested in any London places doing those sort of dishes.

There is Deep Pan Pizza Co. Irving Street. Anyone been?

Agreed. I'd have to really let myself go.
Just wanted to bump my own thread as I have been to Japes (Soho) a couple of times. And...its incredible!

I’d be nigh on full after a couple of slices
When I saw this post, I didn't realise it was 7 years old. I was about to recommend ... Japes in Soho.
The Carbonara pizza they do is absolutely delicious. But very filling, had to have half of it boxed up to eat the next day.
Coincidentally, it was exactly 2 years ago today that we went - everything was normal then, apart from a few people worrying about this new COVID thing happening in China and whether it might spread a bit.
