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!

    • That's a helpful update. I hope you get it recovered and repaired without further difficulty. Annoying it should have happened just after a service. At least no one could drive it away in the meantime!
    • Hi - a friend sent me this link…   The car is neither abandoned nor stolen! (Nor ever has been, so not sure why that has been suggested). It is mine, I collected it from service (and MOT as identified by some on here) on Friday, driving home it had a bit of a hissy fit and broke down! AA attended on Friday, could not recover it until this morning. Spoken to the nice people inside Westminster carpet on Friday who couldn’t have been kinder, I moved the car back from the doors of the property as best I could without blocking more parking spaces. Recovery should be here imminently. Apologies for any inconvenience.
    • That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.
    • Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.
