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.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
