Ach, I don't mind Pizza Express so much; it's a reliable option for groups, the pizza's OK IME, and while the menu prices are a  bit  steep  you can usually get some kind of 2-for-1 voucher.

Indeed. I gotta Tastecard FOC from my bank and that gives 2 for 1 at Pizza Express.

Dominoes though, what's with them? Even the pizzas on their adverts on TV look anaemic and horrible  :sick:
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I'm being stalked by Franco Manca. Everywhere I go, they open a new restaurant. They're sourdough pizza specialists.

Only I don't like them.

I've only had a couple, but are they supposed to be that chewy? I don't know if I got bad examples, or if they're supposed to be like that.

The London food reviewers rate them though.

No, they're pretty awful. Chewy lumps of bread with spartan toppings. Plus there's always a queue and you have to be surrounded by people telling you how good the pizzas are.

The two very enthusiastic pizza chappies on Mary Berry's show last night did it right IMO

Off topic ('cos real not fantasy)

Best pizza I've had outside Italy. The starters were OK, the puds were a little dull, but the pizzas...

(And I agree with ElyDave about the two lads on Mary Berry last night. Shame they didn't say whereabouts in Dorset they're based.)

I had a wonderful scallop and black pudding pizza on Skye a couple years ago. Taste was probably helped by slogging through the Cullins on a fully loaded tourer before I got to the restaurant but it was a good combination :)

You can't afford to live in Stoke Newington now. Admittedly for a time, it couldn't go downhill being as it was already at the bottom.

Apropos food rants, I refuse to queue at restaurants, and I'm certainly not queuing for pizza or burgers. I mean seriously, I just read about queues of 1.5 hours for that place. That's like an entire quarter of Transformer movie. You could fly to Naples quicker.

That place in Herne Bay sounds good though. Unfortunately I know I can get to Naples quicker than Herne Bay.

They probably don't have a stripper on a Sunday lunchtime in the Golden Lady anymore, no.

That would have been 1986, when the street on which I lived was known as "The Green Line" for its similarity to Beirut.  I hightailed it for the altogether more genteel surroundings of Kenton after a few months.

Sandringham Road? Crack central. Anything West was already starting to get gentrified (Jazz Café and Vortex by end of 87)

Green Lanes had Turkish Cypriots at the bottom and Greek Cypriots at the top (Manor house) but I was never aware of much hassle.

I lived anove a Turkish Cypriot-owned shop at the Newington Green end of Green Lanes and rare was a weekend when the Greeks didn't come over from Highbury way and smash a few windows.

So, you're ordering or cooking a pizza.

Which toppings would you choose (up to a max of four, other than cheese & tomato).

I'll start you off, my favourite pizza has green chillies, spicy beef, chorizo and anchovies.  Dirty, dirty, dirty!

I'll have one of those, please!

The best pizza I've ever had was the one they served at Delaunay, even though I don't remember which one it was. It was amazingly tastty, especially for someone who was a bit drunk by the time they served it. There was also the pepperoni pizza at The French Table - tasty, spicy and very unhealthy, he he.

Mountains of meat. Hot peppers and pineapple count as meat for the purposes of this.

Home made is best, although I really need a decent pizza oven.

1) Mozzarella, gorgonzola, red onion and anchovies (not tomato pls);
2) tomato sauce, mozzarella, red onion, salami and hot, hot, hot chillies.

Now hungry and have just had lunch.

(And every so often I like ham, pineapple and nuclear hot chillies. Mmm.)

.. an egg.

No. That is just so wrong. You know my feelings on this though  :P

I would just go for loads of meat and some chillis. But not chicken. I don't why, but I can't stand chicken on a pizza. Wrongness....
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

It is very difficult to stand chicken on a pizza. They keep walking off.
