Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

100%

Back in the day, we used to buy a large donner and an 18” margherita and just dump the kebab on the pizza to serve.

That's where my doner pizza journey began too. Minus the BBQ sauce. (Kebab shop chilli sauce all the way)The king of dirty pizza.

Now days I'll save back a little bit of my levante pide mixed grill for topping my next batch of homemade pizzas. Heaven.

I feel like we have bonded over this.

Speaking of which, Levante's lamb shawarma and red onion pide is insanely good.

I feel like we have vomited over this.

Step 2: Take up golf?

*squints* I'm gonna need to see a height certificate...

Ah, I can join in the golf club talk now, because my trashed frying pan is le crueset. Actually, both my trashed frying pans are le crueset.

My word, the plebs can't even spell 'Le Creuset'.

I'm not going there if they don't have one with three little fires next to it.

Available in TK Maxx these days. The brand’s prestige can’t be salvaged. I give our LC mugs to the workmen.

Doner meat is one of the finest possible pizza toppings and I'm perfectly prepared to have a fight over it.

When I lived on the edge of Hull, my local pizza/kebab place did a doner pizza... amazing stuff after a couple of beers

I am fairly certain they cannot pronounce Laguiole either.

I think we can safely say I'm not that into labels ;) I only know Le C- because it's what my dad uses. Also, my favourite pizza is a deep pan Peri Peri Lover from Tops, the premier Domino's knock-off brand.

Tops, the premier Domino's knock-off brand.

Good man. Tops are the kings of the dirty pizza.

Very good, now let's hear you pronounce 'Laguiole'. :)

I have no idea how it's said or even what it is, but I'd definitely pronounce it Lagooey

Lagooey

Is that what you call your pizzas, too? :)

Golf club is going all meta now

Made the mistake of buying a pizza from a 4 in 1 place in Stirling once, whose proprietor told me very proudly that he didn't use mozzarella, because cheddar is better. He was not correct.

I've been suffering some serious takeaway deprivation thanks to shielding. Man what I'd do for an 18” Margherita with a large donner dumped on the top. Chilli sauce and salad but no tomato or cucumber please. I would fucking eat the living shit out of that.

One of the things I miss the most from the North East is the greasy chewy massive takeaway pizza. Never really found anywhere I've lived in London to make a good comparison. London Pizza (margherita with chips on), kebab calzones, parmo pizzas (parmos in general) and the Ilhan's Special which was available from two independent places on Chillingham Road in Newcastle, only came stuffed crust, with chicken tikka and pepperoni then sesame seeds stuck to the crust. All absolute masterpieces of Italian cuisine. The garlic sauce in London is also hugely dissapointing.

Some regional delicacies just don't travel well sadly

All pizza is golf club fodder, except frozen Tesco Value and the one you use as a drunken pillow in the gutter of your choice.

Remind me to invite you to a Costco for a pizza lunch some day.

Go to the back of the class.

He won’t be able to see anything from there, will he?
