bignumber5 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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.

Otto Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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.

alachlan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I hope it turns out well and they can get the lease on the old Thai Pavilion opposite - a full size Italian - that would be great!

TillieTrotter Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 This place is quite exciting really. How great would it be to have a PROPER sit down Italian.

Brendan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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.

Stephen Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 FoodStories Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Stephen - you must elaborate on the 'unsual> dessert' from under the counter! What was it?!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!S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6305-new-pasta-pizza-joint-in-melbourne-grove/page/4/#findComment-209394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Went last night. Very cheap, very enjoyable food, very nice people.

HOMum Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I went last night too. Was you there whilst the fire alarm went off (twice) ?!The service did seem very haphazard, but I hope it is just teething problems as they were very busy and the food was delicious!Will definitely be back for take away pizzas.

nicko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yes, I arrived as the smoke alarm was going off and wondered if I'd done a wrong'un. Fortunately my fears were unfounded. I understand what you mean about being haphazard but isn't that the authentic italian way?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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.

R&A Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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.

Luisa Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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!

Luisa Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I doubt they had a plan to open a totally chaotic restaurant, so no, I don't think it is meant to be. However,as I said in my last post, it was totally chaotic and very authentic.I absolutely loved it and looking forward to my next pizza.....
