top notch eats - starting with really good bases and throwing on some decent toppings. Cheap as you like, too. I can easily imagine a friday night takeaway queue that stretches down the road... and that would be totally worth joining the back of.

Hi -


I actually prefer the gowlett pizza but atmosphere and beer probably help...none-the-less, I've only tried one variety at the new place so far...


it is great to have a spot closer to home for take-a-way, daytime hours, etc...and the nicest guys run it....


after a few more, perhaps I would say it is better than gowlett, but, not yet. Value and size wise, the new place wins.

My dinner tonight consisted of a pizza from this new place and a bottle of very drinkable Italian white from green and blue. All came to just on a tenner and was fucking brilliant.


I would say on the same level as the Gowlet. In fact I think they get their cheese from the same place.

Well I suppose it wasn't that unusual, I just didn't recognise it. It looked a bit like a cheesecake, but it was somewhere between a cheesecake and a cream mousse, and on the top and bottom was something between sponge and biscuit. I can't remember the name of it, and it wasn't on the normal menu. Aren't I useful? But if you see something there that resembles this fabulous description, buy it!

I went last night too. Was you there whilst the fire alarm went off (twice) ?!


The service did seem very haphazard, but I hope it is just teething problems as they were very busy and the food was delicious!


Will definitely be back for take away pizzas.

Yes, I arrived as the smoke alarm was going off and wondered if I'd done a wrong'un. Fortunately my fears were unfounded.

I understand what you mean about being haphazard but isn't that the authentic italian way?

Yep, the last thing we need is American fast-food efficiencies and Lean Six Sigma processes in this little Italian Pizzaria thank you very much!

Nothing like a Tiramisu in fact, but I know my description wasn't great. I'll have a flick through the Silver Spoon and report back. Or even ask when I'm next in! Which won't be long....

Absolutely lovely peeps running the show but I was a trifle disappointed. Maybe my expectations were raised too much. Found the tomato base watery and not seasoned. The anchovies were tasty but not enough of them. I prefer the ones in the market in Peckham. My daughter's had loads of ham though, so she was easily satisfied.

We hvae both just been tonight (fri) and found a lovely relaxed atmosphere, although it was slightly chaotic.


I'm not sure they knew what had hit them... quite a few people turned up and they seemed a little over-whelmed.


However the pizzas were yummy (& v good value at ?5!!) and everyone was friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves.


Off license is right opposite as it is BYO

Just got back from having: bruschetta, pizza magherita, tiramisu.

all 10 out of 10. delicious. As a Italian with high expectations this is superb. Totally chaotic but felt very authentic. definitely worth the ?19 3 course meal for 2.

How lucky are we to have BYO italian in our neighbourhood!

I doubt they had a plan to open a totally chaotic restaurant, so no, I don't think it is meant to be. However,as I said in my last post, it was totally chaotic and very authentic.

I absolutely loved it and looking forward to my next pizza.....

This sounds great and I can't wait to go along, especially as its been recomended by an Italian. Sounds cheap as chips too, so a good addition to ED. Look forward to giving it a go.

      Cycles jumping lights

      Your post is a little confusing, what were the father and child doing?  For balance I cycled along Brenchley Gardens a couple of Sundays ago in the evening, there was a long line of cars coming towards Forest Hill Road, one car decides to overtake the whole line driving perhaps 60mph or more.  This cyclist had to get out of the speeding car's way. On Friday I was walking on the same road. There were two electric bikes, looking like small trails motorbikes.  No lights, no helmets, no registration plates, no doubt no insurance.  Traveling well above the 20mph speed limit, weaving in and out of the cars, then came back the other way doing the same, and then returned for a further go. Perhaps re-title the thread as inconsiderate road users, rather than yet another thread complaining about cyclists.

      I came across a father with a very young child coming up limesford road, which is currently a one way road due to the Nunhead cemetery wall reconstruction.  The lights were green for me, so I continued to go down Limesfoed, the guy shouted at me, like I was in the wrong.  Are cyclist allowed to take the roads, by jumping lights, despite being given government safety? I see this everyday.

      SHOPLIFTING TEENS ON EAST DULWICH GROVE

      By malumbu · Posted

      People who buy stolen goods are no better than the thieves Edited this sounds rather reactionary, however if there was no market for selling stuff on there would be less shoplifting
