Japes Windsor is our pizza restaurant at Windsor Royal Station, placing us in the centre of one of the UK’s best-known historic towns. Windsor attracts local residents, people working in the area and visitors from around the world, with Windsor Castle, the town centre, shopping streets and the Thames all contributing to a busy mix of everyday local life and tourism. Our restaurant gives Japes a central Windsor home where pizza can be the destination itself or part of a wider day in town.

Japes began in Soho in 2018 with Chicago-style deep dish pizza. From the beginning, we were interested in substantial pizzas with strong texture, generous flavour and a clear identity. Our team continued experimenting as the business grew and eventually created London Style Pizza, a Japes style influenced by several pizza traditions. Windsor brings that story to Berkshire in a setting that could hardly be more central.

A pizza restaurant at Windsor Royal Station

Windsor Royal Station is more than a transport landmark. The historic station buildings form part of a shopping and dining area immediately connected to the town centre, with Windsor Castle close by and Peascod Street nearby. That makes Japes convenient for visitors arriving to explore Windsor as well as local guests meeting in the centre of town.

For a restaurant, location matters because it shapes how people use it. Some guests plan a table at Japes as the main event; others visit before or after sightseeing, shopping or meeting friends. Being at Windsor Royal Station gives you the flexibility to build the meal around whatever else you are doing in the town centre.

What is different about Japes pizza?

Our history is closely linked to Chicago-style deep dish, a style with a deeper structure than the conventional thin pizzas most people are used to. Deep dish changes the relationship between the crust, cheese, sauce and toppings and creates a substantial meal that feels very different from a quick slice.

Years of working with pizza led us to create London Style Pizza. It combines ideas we admire from our deep-dish roots with elements associated with Detroit-style, Sicilian and Grandma-style pizza. A caramelised cheese edge is one of the characteristics that helps give the style its identity. It is a pizza created by Japes rather than an attempt to reproduce a single existing regional style.

From London to Windsor

Although Japes was born in London, expanding into Windsor gives the brand a very different context. Windsor has its own pace, audience and character, so the goal is not simply to recreate Soho. The consistent part is our approach to pizza: make it distinctive, keep the atmosphere approachable and give people a reason to remember the meal.
