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!

    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. No wonder it was stolen. About a week later the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
    • This thread is brilliant! I am glad it has a happy ending. The reference to the Punto keys reminds of the days of when you could "jiggle a lock" with a similar car key and I speak from painful memory as a kid I managed to lock the keys in our car whilst on a camping holiday in Spain. My mum and dad didn't speak much Spanish and much hilarity ensued (post event) as they tried to communicate to the driver of a similar make and model of car as to why they had flagged him down and were trying to get him to lend him the key from his ignition!
