Si Mangia Italian

The reason we all get so many Pizza leaflets through our doors is that they are the Biggest money spinners.


They are cheap and easy to make and can be made by a 12 year old with 20 mins. training. And I'm being generous.


As a consequence they also give the worst value for money and have very little nutritional benefit.

You've joined up just to say that.. ?


People keep banging on about Pizza and how Marvelous X & Y's pizza are.

But it really IS no more than Cheese on Toast with bits.


Louisa is not trying to be funny. She is not joking.

Like me, she is making a point.


Pizza has little more healthy nutritional benefit than the box it comes in.


Popular types of Pizza Net C(g) Sugar(g) Fibre(g) Total Carbs(g)

Cheese Pizza

1 piece (1/8 30 cm dia) 24.48 3.06 1.6 26.08

Whole Pizza 195.84 24.48 12.8 208.64




208.64 Carbs = 41.73 spoonfulls of Sugar.


A serious threat to your health, and your children's health.

Come on now, surely you must be joking? A serious threat to children?! I don't think anyone is advocating an exclusive diet of pizza.


And the cheese on toast comparison is odd. It's like saying beer is "just" flavoured water with bits.


For one thing, the difference between type of flour, tomatoes and cheese alone, ignoring toppings, mean there's a huge variety. E.g. Chicago style vs Naples style.


But I'm not sure you will be convinced.

I agree with Haruki...


If you're insistent that Pizza is just cheese on toast, then you could extend this argument to pretty much anything, no?

Shepherds pie is 'just' potato on lamb

Pasta Carbonara is 'just' ham & eggs on pasta

Caesar Salad is 'just' cheese on lettuce.....etc etc


And making, rising & stretching out decent pizza dough takes a bit of practice too. Some people do this as a living, so a bit unfair to be snotty about it... Anyway, not sure why I'm joining in this argument - if you don't like pizza, I think it's probably because you haven't had a decent one, but each to their own.

I have been a regular at the Curry Club for the past year..

Why don't you come along and find out. :)

How did a restaurant recommendation turn out to be an argument about healthy eating?!

What if I told you that you can be on a McDonald's only diet and still be healthy and not obese?

It's all about moderation people. Anything, no matter how, healthy it is can and surely will kill you if you abuse it.


P.S - Even the air (oxigen) that we breath is killing us.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
