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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
