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.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
