If you’re lactose intolerant, you might want to look away now. To celebrate National Cheese Lovers Day, one Soho restaurant is pushing indulgence to the absolute limit with what’s being dubbed the UK’s cheesiest pizza — and it’s loaded with 64 different cheeses.
Yes, really. Move over Quattro Formaggi — this is cheese excess taken to glorious new heights.
Launching for one day only on 20th January, the 64 Cheese Pizza will be available exclusively at 64 Old Compton Street in London’s Soho, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the capital’s most talked-about food moments of the year.
What Is the 64 Cheese Pizza?
As the name suggests, this unapologetically indulgent creation features 64 varieties of cheese layered onto a single pizza, resulting in dramatic cheese pulls and oozy slices practically made for TikTok and Instagram.
The limited-edition pizza combines classic crowd-pleasers like mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, and pecorino, alongside bolder, more refined flavours including blue cheese and goat’s cheese. But the real showstopper comes right at the end.
The pizza is finished with an entire ball of burrata, torn open at the table to add an extra layer of creamy, molten luxury.
Created by Soho Favourite Nima Safaei
The pizza has been created by Nima Safaei, Executive Chef and Owner of 64 Old Compton Street, a long-standing Soho favourite known for its Italian-inspired menu and bold flavours.
Speaking about the concept, Safaei said:
“This isn’t just a pizza — this is a celebration of cheese in its most indulgent form.
Cheese has always been an important element of Italian cuisine and is used in everyday cooking across Italy. I wanted to create a playful twist on the family-favourite margherita by combining cheeses from all over the world into one deliciously oozy pizza — perfect for cheese lovers across the capital.”
Why It’s Already a Social Media Hit
With its towering cheese count, dramatic burrata finish and photogenic cheese pulls, the 64 Cheese Pizza feels tailor-made for social media virality. Expect reels, reaction videos and close-up pulls to dominate feeds as Londoners race to get a slice before it disappears.
Given Soho’s reputation for setting food trends, this over-the-top creation could easily become one of the year’s most memorable one-day food launches.
