Draft house

[MrBen]

And Balham. And Northcote Road.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Errrr....sure, it's the same chain. What were you expecting?

[MrBen]

Funnily enough I was expecting exactly that....

[Earl Aelfheah]

So why is that a problem?

[Alan Medic]

I seriously don't get why people would queue for a pizza. Do they just want to be the first to try the place/review it? Can someone explain what is a mystery to me?

[MrBen]

I'll stop being a dick.

Question: how many 5.85 pizzas need to be sold to pay for such an impressive structural refurb?

Because lot's of people like pizza. These are really good pizzas. These are relatively cheap, really good pizzas.

Is 6.30 after school? Maybe on a Friday I suppose

They are lovely pizzas. I'm impressed with the pricing too. Hope it stays that way

The queue was horrendous at 8.30pm and still queuing at 10.00pm

The noise just walking past was pretty awful.

To my mind Pizza conjures up a dimly candle lit warm atmosphere with an orange glow.

Not to the horrendous bright lights of this new addition to Lordship Lane.

Reminiscent of a high street McDonalds.

Does not look like a relaxed atmosphere where one could experience a romantic

evening with a bottle of red.

What a shame.

Yep- you can't beat an authentic 1970's pizza experience

The number of people queuing up last night was borderline hysteria. I'm with those who equally cannot understand the fascination with this food type. It was loud, late on into the evening and I feel for anyone who lives in a flat above the shops on that stretch of the lane. Ridiculous.

Louisa.

[DulwichFox]

I like many people had to walk in the road to get by as people were franticly

trying to push their way to the front to get in.

It was sheer madness.. Lucky if no one was injured or worse. ?

Franco Manca offer the best pizza in London and it's great value for money. One of my regular spot for a quick meal.

[Alan Medic]

I like pizza but this scenario appeared to border on kids wanting to be the first to get the latest Harry Potter book.

[Jah Lush]

Queuing for pizza! The world's gone mad. I do like pizza, though I don't eat it that often, so I'm damned if I'd ever queue for it. Same goes for William Rose Butchers on a Saturday. Why do people do it? I'll probably pop in during the week and give it a whirl when they're quieter, when most people are at work.

people queue every night at the brixton branch and it's been there for years

[Seabag]

Ha ha...!!!

A busy business on the Lane

Fancy that, it should be stopped

I believe people were ACTUALLY HAVING FUN

Has the world gone MAD ?

[Louisa]

FUN? Seabag, there is nothing fun about people queuing up and blocking the pavements making a racket well on into the twilight hours all for a bit of bread with toppings. I'm all for having fun, this most certainly was not fun for anyone.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

I reckon Louisa and Foxy are an item

I'm sure thise that were there were having a SWELL time, looked it to me

FUNca Manca looks great

I'm sure they're considering a Manze special Pizza, just for you

[Earl Aelfheah]

Agree that the queues are pretty mad, but great to see a new business doing so well in first couple of days, let's hope it continues.

And when you got to the head of the queue. No Pizza.

Do something useful foxy, nip down and take a couple of snaps of the place so I can see what everyone is on about.

If that's FUN then the world has gone MAD.

[Otta]

Wow, that is quite a big queue, think I'd just wait a couple of weeks to try it.
