Competitive Pizzas

Ali · September 2010

Anyone heard anything about a potential competitive pizza situation coming along soon in SGR ?

Papa · September 2010

More competitive than the current Porchetta Pappagone battle with Medi doing his Scrappy Doo on the sidelines. Could that happen? Are we talking big chain name competitive? A la Pizza Express?

ADGS · September 2010

I sometimes get Pappagone's post. One that I didn't bother taking over was a Domino's voucher headed 'Hey, pizza lover!' and optimistically addressed to them...

another pizza place would be ludicrous

A Basilico has just opened in Crouch End.

Thomas · September 2010

Spotted a place called 'Organica Pizza' just off Blackstock road the other day - anyone know if its any good?

tosscat · September 2010

No, I've seen it before though. Had Basilico at the weekend - it was horrid, possibly tinned mushroom, and super salty - not good.

The competive Pizza situatoin will be with us in October !

Papa · September 2010

Ali, what is this mystery competition for pizza?

Ali · September 2010

Does anyone know how long the two main Pizza parlours have been on SGR ?

ADGS · September 2010

Porchetta since at least the late nineties, Pappagone was not there when I first came down in, I think, summer 1998. And was only half its current breadth until 2004, 5, something like that.

Porchetta was open in January 1992 - I went there with two 5 day old babies. Giancarlo was running it then.

Papa · September 2010

I love pizza and I love mystery. This combines two of my favourite things.

tosscat · September 2010

It's not mystery, it's just boring. C'mon Ali, spill the beans.

Papa · September 2010

Yeah, mystery is rubbish without anything to go on. I need more clues

emmaandmike · September 2010

All this talk of great pizzas but no mention of Venezia. Definitely worth a go in my view.

the glaswegian · September 2010

Have to agree with the shout for Venezia.

New to the area and haven't tried the two well-talked-of places up the other end of SGR, but I very much like my pizza and I've been very, very impressed by the two I've had from Venezia.

kreuzkav · September 2010

Since I was away the older manager of Porchetta has gone. Always had a smile for me and others and as we were neighbours he always said 'hi' when we met on SGR. Never asked him his name though! Was it Giancarlo? Has he moved to another branch?

kreuzkav · September 2010

I meant to add that since I've been back on the road, I've only gone once to La Porchetta and once to La Papagone. I know that Papagone is cheaper but the pizza is better (especially the sauce) at Porchetta. I did prefer Porchetta's older more downbeat interior but now it's too modern and sterile Nice staff though!

sincers · September 2010

Is ElTurko really Medi in disguise?

Ali · September 2010

Think Porchetta might have been there for getting twenty years

Papa · September 2010

Is it a celebration at La Porchetta, a pizza contest - making or eating?

tosscat · September 2010

I don't understand this thread at all. Is there some sort of event in October? Is there a new pizzeria opening? I'm interested, I just don't get it.

sincers · September 2010

ditto

kreuzkav · September 2010

It's a mystery, I think?

sincers · September 2010

Is it a Toyah Wilcox gig?

Arkady · September 2010

Wasn't Mystic Pizza a Julia Roberts film?

Ian · September 2010

Mystic - now that is a lovely town. Can't vouch for the pizzas at the eponymous store used in the film but if you are ever in Connecticut I would certainly find time to stroll round there.

Howdy, Stranger!
