The Pizza Oven has been in place for a while now..

The Counter in place. The Outside signage is done

The outside repainted.

There seems to be a floor laid internally but may just be a screed. Cannot tell peering through the window.


After taking on the place work seems to of progressed remarkably fast.

Lets not get too excited. It's yet to open. Like I say, I was told it will open next week.

Hi Louisa.


I've no idea. The website for their Brixton site does not give any details of drinks available.

I spoke to the owners last night as they were fixing the sign above the shop. I asked if the Pizzas would be wood fired and he confirmed they would be. I literally punched the air in jubilation at hearing this. So excited I forgot to ask if they were also stone baked. Can anyone confirm?

Draft is good news.


The pale ale and lager at Franco Manca is relatively expensive.

Walked passed last night 9.00pm Seating installed and Wood fired Oven visibly on.

Don't they take a couple of days to get up to full temperature? Some places Never turn them off, ??


Looks bigger for some reason. A pleasant looking make over. I feel it probably do well.

I will pay ?100 to a charity of your choice, if you can eat a pizza 31 seconds (without stopping to huff and puff it cool) of it coming out cooked from a wood fired oven.


You name the place, I?ll set up the challenge.

I seldom eat Pizza. Never in a Restaurant. You know that.

I'm ill. I can just about manage 1/2 a 9" Margaretta

Anyway I'm going into Hospital tomorrow morning for Surgery under General anaesthetic.

The procedure is complicated and comes with risks.


The last thing on my mind at the moment is Pizza.

Thank you Sue


My condition is not 'curable' It all went well though and I am now 'Stent Free' but I will have the same procedure in a few months time to see if anything has changed.At the moment I can eat only a few mouthfuls of any food. about 100gms.

I get 3 meals out of a T/a curry Can work out quite cheap :)


Anyway I started this thread to talk about The New Pizza Place where Jaflong used to be.

I think it opened while I was away, as did Saucy.

Not had a chance to see them yet. Yet to ventured out of the house.


I'm sure they will both do well. It's totally down to them. There is a lot of competition.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
