Pizza Express

almost gone.

Debts of £1.12bn, which equates to £1.79m per restaurant. That's a poorly run company

I noticed yesterday that Karen Millen's gone. Austin Reed's gone. Maplins' gone. Where will it all end, I ask you? :-(

Still the best pizza in the UK for me. I really don't want to have to order Dominos :puke:

Over-priced though, innit.

Went to the one on Euston Road the other week.
The missus had a chicken salad and a water, I had a diavolo(?) pizza and a bottle of Peroni. £40ish.

That's the thing, why go to the restaurant for one of their pizzas, when I can pick up one in the supermarket for 1/4 the price :shrug:

25 years ago Pizza Express (and Pizza Piazza) was the nearest you could find to 'real' pizza in this country. Now there are plenty of options for actual proper pizza - from the likes of Rossopomodoro to any number of independents with wood-fired ovens and a burning passion for 00 flour. So scumbag council tenants will continue to favour Pizza Hut and Dominos and those with an IQ bigger than their shoe size will seek out a propoer pizza, sp Pizza Express don't have a market any more :-(

Does your new kitchen include a wood-fired oven which can cook your pizza at 400 degrees, p?

That's why you need to go to the restaurant tbh.

Of course you will eventually learn to cook your own pizza at 400 degrees on your Kamado Joe :cloud9:

Hmm, it sounds OK - but would it kill them to throw a little doner meat on that bad boy?

It's being sanded and oiled as I type. Fingers crossed that should make it slightly more usable!

Yes, you can see them taking the dough and stretching it out in the thingy they cook it in. Always possible the dough was not made onsite.

And if a chap is picking up his takeaway pizzas there isn’t much else to do but watch them make them :shrug:

Amazon pizza delivery? Does it come in packaging as big as a telephone box?

High rent and rates is doing more to kill the (food) high street than young Jeff.

I wasn't referring to the food high street. I just wanted to take a pop at the plutocratic, CIA-affiliated pr1ck.
