top notch eats - starting with really good bases and throwing on some decent toppings. Cheap as you like, too. I can easily imagine a friday night takeaway queue that stretches down the road... and that would be totally worth joining the back of.

Hi -


I actually prefer the gowlett pizza but atmosphere and beer probably help...none-the-less, I've only tried one variety at the new place so far...


it is great to have a spot closer to home for take-a-way, daytime hours, etc...and the nicest guys run it....


after a few more, perhaps I would say it is better than gowlett, but, not yet. Value and size wise, the new place wins.

My dinner tonight consisted of a pizza from this new place and a bottle of very drinkable Italian white from green and blue. All came to just on a tenner and was fucking brilliant.


I would say on the same level as the Gowlet. In fact I think they get their cheese from the same place.

Well I suppose it wasn't that unusual, I just didn't recognise it. It looked a bit like a cheesecake, but it was somewhere between a cheesecake and a cream mousse, and on the top and bottom was something between sponge and biscuit. I can't remember the name of it, and it wasn't on the normal menu. Aren't I useful? But if you see something there that resembles this fabulous description, buy it!

Yep, the last thing we need is American fast-food efficiencies and Lean Six Sigma processes in this little Italian Pizzaria thank you very much!

Nothing like a Tiramisu in fact, but I know my description wasn't great. I'll have a flick through the Silver Spoon and report back. Or even ask when I'm next in! Which won't be long....

Absolutely lovely peeps running the show but I was a trifle disappointed. Maybe my expectations were raised too much. Found the tomato base watery and not seasoned. The anchovies were tasty but not enough of them. I prefer the ones in the market in Peckham. My daughter's had loads of ham though, so she was easily satisfied.

We hvae both just been tonight (fri) and found a lovely relaxed atmosphere, although it was slightly chaotic.


I'm not sure they knew what had hit them... quite a few people turned up and they seemed a little over-whelmed.


However the pizzas were yummy (& v good value at ?5!!) and everyone was friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves.


Off license is right opposite as it is BYO

Just got back from having: bruschetta, pizza magherita, tiramisu.

all 10 out of 10. delicious. As a Italian with high expectations this is superb. Totally chaotic but felt very authentic. definitely worth the ?19 3 course meal for 2.

How lucky are we to have BYO italian in our neighbourhood!

This sounds great and I can't wait to go along, especially as its been recomended by an Italian. Sounds cheap as chips too, so a good addition to ED. Look forward to giving it a go.

      Hand car wash

      I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
