  More competitive than the current Porchetta Pappagone battle with Medi doing his Scrappy Doo on the sidelines. Could that happen? Are we talking big chain name competitive? A la Pizza Express?

  I sometimes get Pappagone's post. One that I didn't bother taking over was a Domino's voucher headed 'Hey, pizza lover!' and optimistically addressed to them...

  No, I've seen it before though. Had Basilico at the weekend - it was horrid, possibly tinned mushroom, and super salty - not good.

  Does anyone know how long the two main Pizza parlours have been on SGR ?

  Porchetta since at least the late nineties, Pappagone was not there when I first came down in, I think, summer 1998. And was only half its current breadth until 2004, 5, something like that.

  Porchetta was open in January 1992 - I went there with two 5 day old babies. Giancarlo was running it then.

  I love pizza and I love mystery. This combines two of my favourite things.

  It's not mystery, it's just boring. C'mon Ali, spill the beans.

  Yeah, mystery is rubbish without anything to go on. I need more clues

  All this talk of great pizzas but no mention of Venezia. Definitely worth a go in my view.

  Have to agree with the shout for Venezia.
  
  New to the area and haven't tried the two well-talked-of places up the other end of SGR, but I very much like my pizza and I've been very, very impressed by the two I've had from Venezia.

  Since I was away the older manager of Porchetta has gone. Always had a smile for me and others and as we were neighbours he always said 'hi' when we met on SGR. Never asked him his name though! Was it Giancarlo? Has he moved to another branch?

  I meant to add that since I've been back on the road, I've only gone once to La Porchetta and once to La Papagone. I know that Papagone is cheaper but the pizza is better (especially the sauce) at Porchetta. I did prefer Porchetta's older more downbeat interior but now it's too modern and sterile Nice staff though!

  Is ElTurko really Medi in disguise?

  Think Porchetta might have been there for getting twenty years

  Is it a celebration at La Porchetta, a pizza contest - making or eating?

  I don't understand this thread at all. Is there some sort of event in October? Is there a new pizzeria opening? I'm interested, I just don't get it.

  Wasn't Mystic Pizza a Julia Roberts film?

  Mystic - now that is a lovely town. Can't vouch for the pizzas at the eponymous store used in the film but if you are ever in Connecticut I would certainly find time to stroll round there.
