Really? What shelf?

Near all the baking stuff with things like nuts and flaxseed.

Running out of weather to use the pizza oven in.

Pancetta on it.

Rain or shine mate. Rain or fucking shine.

What mozzarella are you using? Mine never goes orange like that.

This is not a new thing.

When I first came to England, in the late '70s, I couldn't understand why the pizza was so awful. I had grown up in NYC, where pizza was always a cheap and cheerful option. Quality might vary, but it never plummeted to the depths of British pizza. (Things may have changed -- Domino's is so horrible even by British standards that I was gobsmacked when I learnt it was not only American, but existed in the US when I was growing up. Well, not in NYC, or maybe I was blind to it.)

Then I travelled on the continent, and discovered that most countries had their own slant on pizza, and it was generally good. I came back to England, and it was still awful.

A German who sympathised said that there was one decent pizza place in London. She was right. It was near the Elephant, and there were no rabbits, and it is long gone. This would have been around the turn of the millennium.

Since then there has been a rise in pretentious pizza, but quality has not risen in proportion to price. Some pretentious pizzas are good, or at least good-ish, but there's no guarantee of anything, never has been.

pizzeria castello?

Yep, that rings a bell.

It was a moz/cheddar mix from Lidl. Which I kinda regret - it's pleasant as a margarita, but too salty with the pancetta.
Edit: margherita. It would probably be an unpleasant margarita too, but not because of the salt.

Brilliant, thank you
Eric Jarvis Crusty's was closed today so we went to Pilgrims in the cut. Too much pesto for Mrs tag...( they were arranging 40 take out pizzas in one order as we left).

 

[Chz]

Whoah. I mean, I do like pesto and all but I don't think I could eat that.

 

[Epona]

Whoah. I mean, I do like pesto and all but I don't think I could eat that.

Yeah that, I think I'd find that amount of pesto quite challenging.

Don’t be silly, that’s not pesto. It’s mould.

It's Friday night, the family have gone home and I have just finished a week of nights and we ended up here. Don't go if you haven't booked. The starter was good, might white pizza was the best white pizza I have ever had and the desert was to die for.....cooked by the world's best pizza chef.

Sorry, NYC— the best pizza maker in the world has been named, and he lives in London

The world’s best dough-slinger isn’t working in a New York City slice shop.

The one on the right looks lovely!
The one on the left is a flatbread with salad on top and a drizzle of salad cream

Yeah like seriously. It looks like a side dish.

Tonight we ventured north ( of the river ) and well outside our comfort zone. Very hot, very fresh, indifferent base and overfilled. Pictures failed badly

Batching pizza for lunches next week

 

[hash tag]

Great idea but they really need to be cooked fresh to be at their best
