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!

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
