I can confirm that both the pizza and garlic bread options are absolute winners. No chips mind. And who doesn't like a chip. One Chip? That'll be £2.50 please sir. Extra £2 for a mini faux saucepan of curry Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 As I've said before. Pizza need not be unhealthy if done in certain ways. They are made quite differently in different countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Roger Red Hat said: Tell us more. OK. Perhaps I overegged as I typed quickly. Definitely can be healthier depending how made though. Basically talking as someone who has been to Italy reasonably often, some key differences between, in my experience anyway: 1. Thinner crust is rather better for someone than thicker crust. 2. In my experience, less cheese, definitely less cheese on pizzas in Italy say than here or especially America. That again makes a difference. 3. Meat toppings are quite popular here. Not universal but certainly quite popular. In Italy? More fresh vegetables. Again this is changing here and isn't universal there, but am merely going with my typical, traditional like for like. Those 3 factors alone, off top of my head, definitely make a difference. American pizzas...yeah can be real bad for you! Caked with cheese, pepperoni galore. Someone I know had one size of a round table out there- that's bad for anyone regardless of ingredients! For what it's worth, I assume these ones will be well made at AG, towards the healthier methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of (and I'm honestly not saying this to brag) had a bit of a hand in it, because I went to meet the guys running the pizza place after the first two home games, because the supporters club members wanted pizza at the first home game, but the pizza guys were still feeling their way with how things on a match day were going to work, and so the pizza was only available to those sat down in the sports bar. I had a meeting with them initially on behalf of the SC&T members, to see if they could provide us with pizzas upstairs, and they went away and had a think, and as I said you can now go in and get a pizza in a box to take away. They cost £5 and are in three flavours, margarita, pepperoni and mushroom. I'm sure I'm not the only reason for this happening, but I'd like to think I played a part in it I can't see where else they'd have come up with idea. Just imagine if the like of Dominos caught on to the concept of serving pizza in a box..! It would revolutionise the industry and they'd make a fortune..!

That might be why the difference in prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
