500 Degrees is the best ED pizza joint!

I don't know them, I'm not affiliated with them and I'm not getting paid by them, they're just the tastiest! Posting this was inspired by an inedible pair of pizzas from Franco Manca. We literally binned them, got a refund and ordered a replacement from 500 degrees. It's just arrived and it's delicious!

Oh OK, how weird. Maybe I'm confusing it with somewhere else.


Is 500 degrees the sit down Italian place? We went there once fairly soon after it opened, and the food was fine but the atmosphere was strange and the music was terrible.


Will try a delivery though if it's still there, in view of the rave reviews above!

FWIW


Franco Manca is now the usual private equity owned chain and I miss going to the original Brixton pizzeria - which was back in 2009. It has become unimaginative, variable and needs some fresh thinking. Their desserts are crap. Their Tiramisu an abomination. (Does anyone know a good Tiramisu delivered home - one of the brutal casualties of the lockdown for some of us)


My favourite pizzerias right now that deliver (not affiliated with any) in SE... ( I am in SE21)

Bravi Ragazza ( Streatham)

500 degress (Only tried the Herne Hill one)

Mama Dough (again, numerous branches)

BoNA sourdough in Forrest Hill


I personally prefer the sourdough, Neapolitan but ... have tried the two below ...


Voodoo Ray was not amazing pizza but had a good vibe, cocktails and you could do by slice etc. (I ony went to the one in Peckham)

Agile Rabbit - ditto as Voodoo Ray


Havent been out in a bit but Rocket in Dulwich village did a 5 pound pizza (or pasta) if you picked up.


And finally, I read that Pizza Express was on its knees so I have done a few charity acts. Will be a shame if it disappears...

    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
    • Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
