Quotes
"This is insanely good. I'm a little bit annoyed. This is in London. I'm a little bit annoyed how good this is."
"There's honey on that. This isn't like the classic name for this style of pizza. Pepperoni, pot honey, Diablo. Kind of like the devil. And they've gone the Stranger Things route."
"You can see the crispy focaccia-style base. But the inside is a little bit chewy. Not like overly soft. But it is still a little bit of sort of fluffy and cloudy."
"This would be my number one. I just love it. It's amazing. Silver medal would be these two equally. Okay. They share positions. So different. This gets a bronze medal. But really, I would say it doesn't deserve a podium place."

Quotes
"This is the Weckner. Damn. So, we paid £16 for this, and £3 for the sauce. It is by far the most gorgeous pizza we've seen. The crust is all puffed up, charred here. Crisp. Essentially, what the place is called. Oh, it is. It is gorgeous."
"It's so weird, this base. I don't know how to explain it. It's almost like a cracker. It's very weird. Very sweet, with the honey on top. I like this kind of, um... This was burrata, wasn't it? Or something like that. I like they've done that. Palm sprinkled over the top. It's puffed up on the crusts."
"We just went for the Weckner, because it just looked the best, and it was a pepperoni with some honey. I think when pizza places do this honey, they either get it perfect, or they just load it too much. I think this is maybe just slightly too much honey. But the dough? Incredible. Bit like, look. All of it is like that. It literally is a crispy pizza."
"I don't usually eat my crusts, but we got this dip. This is the garlic dip. It was three quid. Yeah, it does. Smells very... pungent. It's good."
"With the wait time, and the price, it does hinder the star rating. It is the best pizza we've had, which is the name of this video, and that is what we are trying to do."
"But I just find it a bit crazy that we have literally had to wait two weeks to get this pizza. Maybe that's on us. Maybe that's on us. Maybe we could have gone down there, and you could have just done a walk-in."
"No one should have to go through that to eat a pizza. You know what? We're gonna give it the edge. We're gonna give it 4.4. So that means it is the best pizza that we have found so far."
