New Strada next to White Stuff

[newgirl]

My boyfriend heard two girls on the top of the 176 bus saying that a Strada is going to open in the empty shop next to White Stuff.

Anyone know if that's true. Not mad about Strada particularly, but haven't found anywhere in East Dulwich that does decent pizza. Does anyone know of a decent pizza delivery place by the way? Thanks

Fireezza in herne hill is the best I've found around here. www.firezza.com

yep would agree with that.

that shop seems a little small for a restaurant , with kitchens etc and would there not be a change of use needed with planning?

[mightyroar]

there's a thread on here that says that place is going to be jojmamanbebe (kids & pregnancy clothes)

[HOMum]

when i spoke to them (white stuff) , they said that next doors is theres and they will be opening EITHER a shoe shop OR baby clothes ...?

Yes, The Gowlett pub in Gowlett Road do excellent pizzas and excellent beer to go with them.

They have a website (google the gowlett, I can't be bothered with linking)

[mightyroar]

which one is 6 lordship lane then? is it on the same side of the road as white stuff?

next to john alan flowers opposite the edt

If you want a pizza, the Magdala pub (on corner of LL and Pellatt rd) is your best bet. Good bases and they do takeout.

Please not a Strada...beacons of mediocrity

Out of all the Italian chains (Zizzi, Bella Pasta etc), Stada is one of the better ones. However, it belongs in Clapham or the West End.

Si Mangia on Forest Hill are the best pizzas. Not sure if they do take out. They should. Right oppo the bust stop. Drunken workers falling off the bus on a Friday night (woops is that ME!?) looking for some tasty grub. They could make a killing. Seeing as the co-op is so dire.

Agree with Mattham that the Magdala do good pizzas. Haven't been there for a while though. Is it the still the lady pizza chef? The last time I ate there she was really quite stressed and abruptly asked a large group who were celebrating a birthday (in a very nice fashion I add) to keep the noise down. Er, it's pub! She also burnt my pizza beyond recognition. The excuse was that she was under pressure that night.

Happy ending:

I complained and they were good enough to replace it, not charge for it AND offer me a free ale. Thumbs up to the Magdala.

And they show the football.

Two thumbs up.

Also agree with Kford that of all the chain Italian places Strada is the lesser evil.

I think people have to accept that where there's money the chains will follow and an addition as such, maybe not now but in the future, is inevitable. Still, it might ensure that there's always a free table or 2 in Franklins.

they dont even do pizzas at the mag an more its PIES THESE DAYS !! GOD YOU LOT

AND I KNOW WHAT THE SHOP NEXT TO WHITE STUFF IS GOING TO BE AND ITS NOT SHOES or pizza the gowlett as stated above makes te best pizzas and of course:) its the best pub locally imo :)

[paps]

Luddite - if you know what the shop next to White Stuff is going to be ARE YOU GOING TO TELL US??(?)

[luddite]

ER NO .....LETS BUILD UP some anticipation and more guessing :}

[rob]

no - let's reminisce about how good the magdala pizzas used to be (with the first, middle-aged bloke chef). used to be a real treat going down there to take advantage of the two-fer-one deal on a tuesday. Sometimes managed to swallow three pints while they cooked, would totter home with hot cargo for bottle of Valpol and Holby City. Then they started using much cheaper ingredients (mushrooms, ham etc) and the magic was gone. Barely been in there since.

If we're going to get a pizza restaurant on LL, I'd like it to be Eco. http://www.ecorestaurants.com/

I was actually at my favorite Italian Restaurant ? Donna Margarita in Clapham, on Friday. The owner mentioned that he is looking to open a new restaurant and is looking around Lordship Lane. If anyone know any good premises, please contact the restaurant. http://www.donna-margherita.com

We already have quite a nice Italian restaurant in ED, on Forest Hill Rd... admittedly it might be a bit of a journey from the Goose Green end of ED though.
