Franco manca vs Gowlett


Recommended Posts

The bottom at Franco isn't supposed to be crispy like other pizzas - it's like the pizza in Naples... almost pancake like and pull apart soft, topped with delicious mozzarella and basil... YUM!


For a crispier base, try Sorsi Y Morsi - they do great pizza and amazing homemade pasta too!

Yeah not a fan of the soggy bottom myself, also very very rushed feel about the place. Not enough choice of toppings for me either. I guess it's a matter of preference. Gowlett does it for me though! Hmmmm perhaps ED needs a pizza club! :)
Johnny Gowlett now has the Crust Conductor pizza bus too. It's currently parked in the Brick House brewery car park by Peckham Rye station so you can get a pizza (cheaper than the Gowlett and different toppings) and a craft beer on the same site. Happy days.

and happy and hoppy days! Must check this place out.

I had no idea there was a pizza bus. This is wonderful news.


I like both types of pizzas - and there are times where I will go to Franco manca's above the Gowlett - it's closer, and I think pizzas can be a wonderful remedy for a Friday or Saturday night of excess. However on balance I prefer the Gowlett. Not only is the atmosphere more relaxed & you can enjoy the meal with some leisurely beers but the crispy base means that there is that much more room for the delicious toppings.... And let's not forget their legendary chilli oil!

    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
