Looking through the window of the old Jaflong progress on the new Pizza place looks to be well under way Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226787-the-old-jaflong-restaurant-to-become-a-pizza-place/page/3/#findComment-1341290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
savvygirl Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I?d love to see something like an old fashioned haberdashery selling fabrics, embroidery silks, tapestry items, sewing threads and knitting wools. John Lewis used to have a fabulous department at one time. I know there is Stag & Bow in Forest Hill but another in Ed would be good. It appeals to my creative side! I remember the joy of looking through pattern books and choosing materials. Rolls and REM?s in Lewisham is extremely popular, so there seems to be a revival of things homespun or maybe I should say home made!

Asset Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/retailindustry/timeseries/j4mc/drsionline sales still only 20% of retail total so the argument that high streets are dying because of online shopping doesn't wash really.

Humdinger Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 really? i looked through yesterday and it was little more than an empty room with rubble and other debris stacked up against the walls. No sign of anyone in there at 17:45. If thats progress, the place must have been a bombsite before.

Flux capacitor Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I don't believe that they have done their market research. Franco Manca dominates the pizzeria in ED. I think we are moving away from 500 Degrees style of Chain pizzerias But time will tell.

Abe_froeman Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What exactly is the " 500 Degrees style of Chain pizzerias "? They have 3 restaurants in Brixton, Herne Hill and Crystal Palace. They're hardly a chain at all more like a small group of local restaurants. Franco Manca on the other hand have approximately 50 restaurants scattered all over the country.

El Presidente Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 What we need is a committee of EDF regulars to approve any new business application and consider it in light of culinary and social diversity. This will ensure an efficient market and bring an end to all these silly entrepreneurs with their fancy ideas of competing with other businesses and meeting unmet demand.Long live the Committee.

DulwichFox Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Last time I ate Pizza in a Sit Down Pizza place was at The Chicago Pizza Pie Factory in Hanover Square W1. 1977 ish Garlic Mushrooms and Margarita Pizza. Probable with Sol beer. Frigging Bees Knees back then Don,t think it is still there.

Loutwo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Pizza is a snack. It?s not a dinner.Anyone who says otherwise, needs to speak to someone from Italy for confirmation. They?ll tell you the same.The market is saturated locally, let?s have something different with imagination and flare. Come on is that too much to ask in 2019? Northcote Road Light is what LL has become.Louisa.

HelBel65 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Still trying to understand why a new pizza place would attract ?wealthy foodies and no one else? but you?ve conveniently skipped that point.

Loutwo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 You?re conveniently missing my point entirely. Certain establishments attract a certain clientele. Sourdough/artisan/stonbaked whatever name you wish to give it, pizza, tends to pull a certain class of foodie. Something a Toby Carvery or a Chiquitos would not do, May I add. It?s not just about the price, it?s about the branding and marketing. The bigger point is of course, why do we need another example of the same bland thing? Some variety would be nice. But apparently, wealthy foodies like to berate everyone else for what they eat, but are happy to indulge in pizza when it suits. Louisa.
