hurry up.

am dying to vote

I clicked a "vote" button, but there weren't any options for me to select and now it says that I have voted. Hmpf.

I can't believe la Porc is winning.

Kill the pig..cut his throat...bash him in.

(To paraphrase William Golding.)

hmmm. cheap chedder and undercooked eggs seem to be loved by you guys. To be honest I've gone off both, I think they've both dropped the ball somewhat.

Popped into Porchetta on Friday night to grab a take-away ... the manager was in a tie gleefully greeting customers with a new-found gusto ... he charged me £1 less than the listed price and gave me a free drink of coke while I waited.

Is this the rebirth of Porchetta ... ? Now it just needs a lick of paint and some ambience ...

Luke warm reception? You have to be kidding me.

If not, come with us next time and I'll show you how to do it

Sorry. still don't rate Papagone. Porchetta or better still slightly further a field who deliver...

Firezza.

Never tried Lupa, are they good?

Lupa's nice but expensive - unless you order before 6pm for pick up only - then their pizzas are a fiver.

Il Bacio?

There is another Il Bacio in Stoke Newington, think that was the first one and its really good, very happy staff! havent been to the one on Blackstock though

I vaguely remember cycling past a few other cuisine's along that stretch, Vietnamese comes to mind, anyone been to anything down there that's worth checking out, just for changes sake?

Van Luc is pretty good also apparently Melvyn Bragg and Nick Hornby eat at the San Danielle Del Fruli at the top of Highbury Hill before every home match day. Also thought Pagapone is not particullary noisey since thye had a council serve a noise abatemnet on them a few years ago as people across the road were getting disturbed. This is why the front opening doors are never open in the summer which is shame

San Daniele has been vaguely on my radar for ages, but I've never quite got round to trekking over.

La Porchetta everytime for me!

I may have to retry La porc - it was always minging when I went before.

Blimey - we really are polarised aren't we?

We were in Pappagone on Saturday and it was splendid. They were very busy though and needed the table back by a certain time.

So we had our first Pappagone pizza last night. After 6 years of mostly very decent take-away pizzas from La Porchetta, we never felt the need to change. But last night at 11:45, I was hungry, La Porchetta was closed, so I took a leap.

Big mistake. The pizza was terrible. The base was much too thin. Everything soaked through. We wound up having to eat the toppings with a spoon. The peppers were completely raw. The cheese tasted very Tesco Value.

How anyone could possibly prefer this place is beyond me. Is it any better when you eat in? I've only eaten at La Porchetta once. I don't like the atmosphere, and there are way too many kids there. Pappagone looks about the same from the outside, though.

I'll stick with La Porchetta take-away for all of my pizza-eating needs.

Yeugh. Kids.

I must admit I'm swaying, and thinking of making the switch. I'm encouraged by the fact that I saw the lovely lady who served us in La P on Rosebery Avenue - I think she owns it with her husband - through the window there last week.

Has anyone tried La Venezia near Petek yet?

Went to Porchetta for the first time in ages on Saturday night (becauase Pappagone was full). Haven't had a pizza at either for ages, but the melanzane parmigiana at Pappagone is much better than Porchetta. I had rung to book, which they had completely forgotten about when we got there and stuck us in a rubbish table at the back. Decor looking really quite tatty now, and we were served by a guy who took great trouble to tell us that he was only helping his friend out and wasn't a waiter really, then kept coming over to ask if we liked him or not. Bizarre.

It is true that there are often kids in both, early evening - don't think there's much to choose between them on that front.

Well, maybe I was slightly biased in that it came some time after everyone else got their pizzas, and we were at a crappy table. But that aside, I'd definitely say that the Pappagone version is better.

Actually had a really good pizza from pappagone on saturday night. I was almost impressed. Their melanzane parmigiana (main course size specially requested) was a joke though - tiny portion for the price, and it had obviously been microwaved - absolute rubbish compared with Porchetta's (sorry Liz).

Always cold from Lupa and Firezza (St Paul's Road, near Highbury & Islington roundabout)

An outer NYC borough. Hmm. Not Italy then?
