Reviews Summary
Three Joes is celebrated for its fantastic sourdough pizzas with generous toppings and a lively atmosphere, especially on its sunny terrace. Reviewers praise the chewy, tangy bases and unique flavor combinations. However, some guests have noted slow service and disappointment with specific dishes like the gluten-free base or Mac and Cheese, with one reviewer also mentioning an unwelcoming staff experience.
"Walked into Three Joe’s expecting a normal pizza. Walked out questioning why I’ve ever eaten anywhere else🥰
That sourdough base is chewy, tangy, and just crisp enough to make your teeth happy. I don’t know what kind of doughy magic these Joes are working with, but it’s clearly delicious 😋
Also, shoutout to the vibes—casual but cool, like a pizza joint that knows it’s the main character in your weekend plans"

"Pizza restaurant close to Winchester Cathedral and the town centre. The menu is mostly pizzas as you would expect but there are other options including vegetarian and limited vegan dishes plus a kids menu.
The pizza bases are sour dough, nice and tasty and they were quite generous with the toppings. I did feel service was a little slow but the staff were friendly.
I enjoyed my BBQ based pizza with pulled pork. The sauce had a very pleasant taste, on the sweet side like Kansas City style which I like.
If I was in the area again I would go back.
Pizzas range in price was around £10 up to £15 and they did have some seasonal specials on offer."

"The positives: great location, great service and amazing atmosphere. However, I’ve rated the food poorly as their gluten free base is literally like chewing through cardboard, I was hoping that my fillings don’t pop out. I hope someone changes the recipe, I can recommend some pizza places that do good gluten free base, maybe you can go there and see how they do it. Sorry love the place but disappointed by the gluten free base."

Plus, there’s Kyoto Kitchen for contemporary Japanese and Three Joes for tasty sourdough pizzas - just opened on Great Minster Street. For pre or post-dinner drinks, try seductively dark Cabinet Rooms (opposite the Theatre) serving seriously good cocktails, The Green Man (opposite the Cinema) for great wines by the glass (good nosh, too), and Incognito, a drinking den channelling Phileas Fogg in the basement of St John’s House.
