Pizza

Pcos?

Anyway franco manca used to be good until giuseppe mascolo sold most of his company to some clueless egyptian guys. Now the pizza is cooked at 600 degrees, the bottom gets charred and the crust is burned outside and raw inside, plus pizza gets very difficult to be digested because it doesnt get cooked properly.

And so began the Great Pizza War...

I smell a cook-off.

How long ago was that?

I'm goin to Franco Manca in Brixton for my lunch today :-)

My first visit(although I've lived in Brixton for 12yrs), the shame!

I have to say, Santa Maria pisses all over it

I had the chorizo pizza, the Mrs had the veggie one. We both said the base was a bit flavourless and overall they weren't as flavoursome as you'd expect, both needed salt.
Mine was undercooked too, the little blocks of mozarella were still, well 'little blocks' and hadn't melted properly, halfway through eating it had gone cold and soggy in the middle.
Nice enough, but I'd rather have a Pizza Express, seriously

Pasquale, you can still sleep at night :-)

It was alright about 6 months ago and Mrs b&d and I ate in the Chiswick one about 8 weeks ago. The organic wine tasted a bit rough, but all in all it was fine. Urinates from a great height over Pizza Express. I'll get her up to Santa Maria sooner rather then later.......

I like the brixton branch for the atmos. It's not the best pizza I've ever had (di fara :p) but when it's good it's good. Santa Maria sounds intriguing :)

All I was getting was wafts of fish from the market :-$

Sort of police lady.

Oh fuck, when did he sell? Not been there for about 18 months to two years. The calzone used to be amazing and the sour dough bread as a treat.

No need.

Nuno v Pasquale?

I could really go fucking pizza right now, I mean really get involved, invest myself in the very cheese of the thing, fucking roll around on it, perhpas rise up on my hind legs and dance amongst the pieces of vegatable interest.

I am currently listening to **Flash and the pan's ** 1983 hot hit 'Waiting for a Train'.

Pizza music.

Nuno v Pasquale?

ummm as the token neopolitan...ish I'm judge.

neopolitan

'Neapolitan.'

'Neapolitan.'

It was sold like one year ago. I used to live in brixton and was a regular there. Loved at the beginning but then went downhill.

Graham i know i can sleep at night, im confident about my pizza, im strict about the ingredients and the final pizza and nobody can debate my authenticity!
I try the pizza everyday to make sure the dough is spot on, if is not 100%, i close down, it happened. And the ingredients i use are the same used back home. I dont care about making money, passion and love comes first, and people can feel it!!

A night out in Trieste?

'Neapolitan.'
:rolleyes:

Graham the best pizza in your area is donna margherita on lavander hill. I love all their food, not just the pizza!

I can lend you the wig, but the bisto fake tan and shaving takes for ever.

Just came back from a long ride from Lee SE London to Ealing West London in double shit weather, but my good friend Pasquale's Santa Maria Pizzeria is really second to none!!! It was simply worth the journey although I am now soaked. If you have not been there, patronise it and treat yourself to one amazing pizza!!!! Pasquale!!! Muito, muito obrigado!!! c_c

I'm doing pizza tonight, it's got a cornflour base.

Nuno v Pasquale?

Never, I stand beaten even before start.
Pasquale's Pizza is by far the best one I've had.

Pasquale does takeaways?
Hmm.. I love the atmos but that would be a cheeky way to score awesome pizza quickly..

mr.costa, always a pleasure and yes, Pasquale does takeaways!

Nuno, im curious to try your own pizza....
