Don't forget (pretty decent) pizzas at the Actress too.


Of all the things we need more of, pizza is almost bottom of the list. A halfway decent Vietnamese place would do a roaring trade, ditto Japanese, Spanish, Mexican. A good Chinese/dim sum place would probably do well.


Also continually amazed that none of the curry house owners have the initiative to reinvent themselves with regional/"home cooking" type food, ditch the tikka massala and double the profits. There must be a practically endless supply of Indian people in London who know how to cook amazing food.

Pizzas should not be made of sourdough either in my opinion, but then I prefer the thin crust Italian wood-fired classics rather than the American versions that dominate here.

And charge a bit more for them.

Are you sure about that? I thought that sourdough was the traditional Naples style.

Neopolitan pizzas are protected under EU rules similar to french cheeses/wines as to ingredients and process. They do use a particular yeast but I've never seen them referred to as sourdough (a later American term?) and fermentation of the yeast bacteria (the main distinction with sourdough) does not appear to be particularly relevant to the process.


I could be wrong though and due to the taste imparted by the yeast it could fall under a loose description of sourdough

DC is spot on here IMO. I'm not someone that enjoys eating out in restraunts or pubs, I'm just not very foody, but sometimes you need something to keep the engine running (and soak up the booze), and pizza is ideal in those circumstances, for all the reasons DC gives, and the additional bonus that you can share one with a mate and split the cost.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
