Alex 36590 Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 There was a short-lived Chicago Pizza place in Newcastle (Malnati’s) opposite the central station. This was back in the early 80s I think. I remember going a few times with my mam and dad and the place having loads of American tin signs like you get in 50s-style diners. Which was very exotic for Newcastle back then They failed to break into the UK market but I think they’re still around, mainly in Illinois. There’s probably a good reason why that particular style of pizza isn’t particularly popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also why the Midwest is the land of the weeble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14568 Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 I’ve had that Pigalos pizza before and it’s certainly something. Their burgers are canny but they’re definitely “Instagram” food. Load it with a load of sauce so it looks canny with a filter on but there’s plenty of better burgers about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11312 Posted September 3, 2024 Share Posted September 3, 2024 Was up to visit the folks recently with my lad. Went to Coastline at Blyth Beach for tea. Fucking hell it was grim. I got a burger and it was bad enough as it is, but on my first bite I discovered they'd put a thick cut piece of cucumber in there. Not a pickle, a fucking warm, doorstep of cucumber. Why? Lesson learned, never let your sister pick the place you eat. There's fucking loads of good or great chip shops around there, and she chose the worst one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36590 Posted September 3, 2024 Share Posted September 3, 2024 (edited) Coastline at Blyth has aiways been nice when I’ve been. Admittedly not tried the burgers though.
