Pizzeria Pellone is great value. I had a fantastic pizza there. They start from £4.65 and their most expensive is £8.75 - substantially cheaper than Mamma Dough - half of their pizzas are over £10.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
I recall a couple of years ago the pizza takeaway industry, and Dominos especially, got a lot of flack for the price of pizzas. Some were making a 900+% profit per pizza.
Gordon Ramsey was knocking a truffle topped pizza at £100 a pop...dunno if he still does....
I'm really over pizza these days...and burgers and fish and chips. All junk that makes me feel lousy...

Their magarita is £5.95

They're doing well enough to have opened a second restaurant in Croydon too.

Fucking eck....just looked at the prices for Herne Hill Pizza Express and they are daft....
Pizzeria Pellone certainly looks more like the prices I'd pay for a pizza....although I've not eaten there.
I only ever go to pizza express if I get a craving for a sloppy giuseppe....which is £10.80. The Margarita is 8.45.
Looks like the only pizza at Mamma dough which is £11 has nduja on it.....which is posh pork spread....perhaps you were subjected to one of their daily specials Editor? I hope you wasn't miss sold a pizza with meat on a vegetarian one.....I mean, who the fuck knows what nduja is anyway....

Maybe it was one of these?

Pellone pizzas are tastier, cheaper and more filling than those at Pizza Express.
The latter is worth visiting only if you have Tesco vouchers on the point of expiring.

So most of us are agreed then? A takeaway veggie pizza for £11 (which was deemed by both purchasers as not being particularly fantastic in taste) served opposite one of the poorest areas in London does not represent good value?
It does seem strange why expressing such an uncontroversial and honest personal opinion should have ended up generating so any posts, but that's probably because it was me posting the comments and despite it being a veggie dish, there's plenty of beef on the table.

It doesn't look too appealing to me either, but their success is living proof that the strip of shops is now primed and ready for total gentrification, and ready to lure tourists and well coined incomers further down Coldharbour Lane.

I think your error was to order the most expensive Pizza in the place.
If you ordered something cheaper it would have been better value.

My 'error' was to ask the guy behind the counter for a good veggie choice. He sold me the most expensive thing on the menu and it wasn't even that good.
And it wasn't good value, like I've said from the start.
Ok so your error was letting yourself be bullied into an unwanted Pizza by a waiter?

I made a comment about the quality of the pizza for the price. I felt it was not good value. That is the point. End of discussion.
Disruptive Conduct
You asked him to recommend a pizza.

You could have chosen a cheaper pizza
You didn't
You bought an expensive pizza and then complained about your own actions.

Nduja is bloody great. I bought some the other day from an Italian deli in Soho. A&C used to sell it - I so miss that shop.

I've seen an increasing number of Deliveroo riders up and down CHL. Anyone had any experience of Deliveroo? They all look a bit gaunt and hungry.
Is your food just a lukewarm mess in a box once it's been in what looks like a sports holdall on the back of vigorous pedal pumper? Or does it still resemble a handcrafted burger or whatever?

I've seen LOADS of them too. They tend to gather around the back of the Dogstar/Lounge between jobs.
It's another shit paid job:
I've had some good stuff. Best to stick to fairly sturdy food though, so you could reheat if you want.

Hmm. Thanks. Set up by an ex-hedge fund manager. I doubt he is out there grinding through the gears and lurking behind the Dogstar. But as he is not here to defend himself, it would be wrong to speculate.

Went into the Blue Turtle Oasis this morning for the first time in a while. All credit to the guy who owns it (Adrian?) - he has made an awkward shaped and dark space into something pretty impressive. New seating, he's started selling a few deli-type items and I'm told the wifi is genuinely super fast. Prices have crept up to what you'd pay in Brixton Village. But the coffee was one of the best I've had.

He's done a great job on his own and works really hard. I can forgive his prices because he's in a particularly tough spot and he makes way better coffee than anything I've ever had in the Village.
I've run a couple of features on his shop:
Blue Turtle Oasis in Loughborough Junction – a lovely little coffee house
Loughborough Junction gets a brand new coffee shop and cafe – the Blue Turtle Oasis at 210 Coldharbour Lane
