POPSI’S is an independent pizzeria at 80 Bedford Place in Southampton. Founded in 2018 around the idea of fresh, affordable pizza, it offers dine in, takeaway and delivery from a relaxed neighbourhood restaurant. The team keeps the process visible and direct, putting dough and the stone oven at the centre of the experience.
The dough uses four core ingredients, is fermented, stretched by hand and baked in a stone oven at around 400 degrees. Italian tomatoes, mozzarella, cured meats, vegetables and cheeses support a menu that moves from margherita and pepperoni to richer combinations with nduja, goat’s cheese, mushrooms or garlic honey. The very hot, quick bake creates a light base with a crisp, blistered edge.
Vegetarian and vegan diners receive an unusually broad selection, including a house made vegan pepperoni that has earned a Great Taste award. Many pizzas can be ordered with either conventional or plant based toppings, while garlic breads, dough bites and other starters are easy to share. Guests with allergies should review the current information and speak with staff before ordering.
Beer, wine, soft drinks and simple cocktails complement the pizza without distracting from it. Renewable energy and low smoke oven technology form part of the restaurant’s practical environmental approach, alongside recycled packaging. POPSI’S combines careful dough making, inclusive choice and an independent Southampton personality.
