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

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.

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.

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

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
