The big drivers for pizza's world takeover:

1 - children love it (well, lots of them do)

2 - you can get away with poor table manners - seriously, who eats a whole pizza with a knife and fork

3 - the profit margins are huge - it's very cheap to produce so, provided you get enough customers, you can make a canny profit for relatively little outlay. (Ignoring set-up costs, refurbs, etc).

The pizza I had in Naples the other day wasn't awful.

Welsh Rarebit should have mustard,herbs, extra breadcrumbs etc. added and the cheese mixture lightly cooked before being added to the toast and then grilled :) Better than pizza if done properly.

On this point I have to agree. Authentic Welsh Rarebit pisses all over pizzas bonfire party! Wait til the metro elite find out about it, it?ll be 10 quid a pop in some lifeless artisan spot on a edgy high street somewhere.

Moaning about a new pizza place? I'm thankful its not a dominos, or fast food chain.

A destination for wealthy foodies and nothing else? Sorry, please educate me as to why ED is a destination for anything else?


Sad to see that Loutwo doesn't know what Welsh rarebit is...


Happy Thursday

A new pizza place when there is something similar less than 50 yards in the other direction seems ludicrous to me, and many others I?m sure. We currently need a lot of things on this high street, but we don?t have them. Mostly because, the wealthy foodies can bring in more money than useable shops for ordinary people. Money speaks, as usual.


Also I don?t need patronising on what cheese on toast looks like, and yes FYI, I am being ironic here.

Oh Louisa! Please do continue. You are a bonafide parody of yourself!

1/10 and rehashing your classic "posh cheese on toast" troll. Pizza is some high end dish for the metrololitan elite. Lolz.

Dress it up however you like, we have a high street aimed at wealthy foody types, at the expense of a useable high street which reflects the wider population. Those are the uneasy facts, which are of course, uncomfortable for the metropolitan elite to have to admit to.

Proper pizzas aren't that unhealthy at all. Yes they have cheese but it's no more unhealthy than a cheese and tomato sandwich. I make them myself once or twice a month.

500 degrees is the one in Herne Hill isn't it? It's not exactly a multi-national chain, they have 3 outlets all fairly local to this area. Not exactly Pizza Express. I hear the pizzas are very nice.

Good luck to them.

Please stop making everything into a class war.

Fark me


2019 and Louisa and foxy still banging on about pizza, class, wealth and health


A tasty slab of pizza, filling you up in a restaurant setting for ?8 - truly the 1% have taken over


Grow up you two. I know you haven?t managed it in at least 6 decades but give it a go

Sephiroth, as you know, I am not one to instigate an argument, but I am one who will call out the elephant in the room. Do we REALLY need yet another pizza establishment in ED? Serious question. Because I can name at least two hands worth of different types of pizza within a quarter of a mile, and that?s a very conservative estimate.

      Cheques are still the safest way to send money to others if you want to make a 'thing' of it. At Christmas or birthdays a card with a cheque is the most effective present to distant god children or extended family, for instance when you don't know what they have or need - made out to the parent if you don't think they have an account yet. Of course you can use electronic transfer, often, to parents if you set it up, but that doesn't quite have the impact of a cheque in the post. So a cheque still has a use, I believe, even when you have very much reduced your cheque writing for other purposes.

      The solution for the cost of duvet washing is for each person to have their own single duvet like in Scandinavia.  Then you can wash the duvet in your own washing machine. Get a heated drying rack if you don’t have a tumble dryer.
