… even though we keep talking about it - me and (Hi Fi) Richard, that is.
Yesterday afternoon (1st June) was Marylebone ‘village’ again and I spent time at KJ West One, as usual, followed by a pizza in Thayer St. (as usual!) It looks like the Baker St. branch has fallen off the list of regular pizza venues, and as I have downloaded a list of the Pizza Express (PE) places in the area it may be a while before we try it again. The same applies to PE Great Portland St. as the last time we were there we got the worst pizzas either of us had for a good number of years! Baker St. is often very busy and this may account for the sometimes rushed (or delayed) service and no-so-good pizzas.
On Sunday last (26th May) I had the rare treat of meeting up with Laurence (my son) and did so not far from Tottenham Court Road tube. We ended up ‘checking out’ the Dean St. jazz venue (and, of course, the associated Pizza Express restaurant…) and then wandered around the area for a while. Laurence was in London for a Muse gig at Highbury on the Sat. night with one of his mates and ‘twas brill (apparently) - not one of my favourite groups though…
We ended up eating PE pizza in the Bruton Place branch that is round the corner form Berkeley Square, before L caught a coach to Exeter to see another of his mates who was playing a gig there. Phew, a busy weekend for the boy! Anyhow, a very good pizza was had by us both, helped no doubt by it being a relatively quiet Sunday in the vicinity of Mayfair. Well worth another visit, as is the Dean St. venue but next time for more than just a quick look at the musicians warming up
2 pizzas, but still no Silver Dollar...
