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.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
