Fantastic italian in Sydenham worth getting in the car for!

do they have a big pizza pie

[*Bob*]

Only when the moon hits their eye, I believe

[Brendan]

And you've just played out that song backwards I believe.

[Brendan]

Personally I?ve never liked being hit in the eye with pizza but each to their own.

[*Bob*]

Strictly, in the song, it's actually the moon hitting your eye, Brendan.

Liable to leave a bruise at the very least.

[spadetownboy]

do you think everytime the door is opened bells will ring ding a ling a ling

[mockney piers]

*sigh* ;-)

[DaveR]

Did they play a gay tarantella? Lucky fella.

[Keef]

In all seriousness, where is this place, as I've not noticed it (mainly because I tend to be leaving Sydenham to head to the CPT).

[buggie]

its on kirkdale as you head towards sydenham on the R after the dartmouth road roundabout if memory serves me right..

[Keef]

Aha, near the piano shop... Will have a walk down there and try it out soon!

I don't want to start a forum fight or offend anyone, I'm really mostly a lurker and find it all a bit scary, but this just seems a bit odd to me. The forum is littered with posts about recycling and plastic bags, but noone so much as raises an eyebrow when someone suggests driving to Forest Hill. Isn't that missing the point a bit?

We can all feel smug about turning down bags in the boutiques of Lordship Lane, but is it really going to make that much difference if we're still using our cars to go ten minutes up the road?

Kirkdale is only about ten minutes, 15 at most, from ED by bus and the 176 runs all night.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation Charlotte, always good to know a nice local Italian.

It depends where abouts in ED you are - it may or may not be convenient to get the bus.

Surely occasionally driving a couple of miles to a restaurant is small fry, compared with the long daily commute many people do in their cars.
