At my recommendation, Hubbers, SIL, Big Bro and I made a stop here a couple of years ago because my…read morepast experiences were above par. But that visit was beyond horrendous. The pizza crust was raw. The spaghetti was cold. The chicken was undercooked. Everything we ordered was beyond worse than dinner that's been sitting in the freezer for years. I vowed never to come back again. Fast forward 2 years later, Big Bro said he was willing to give them another chance. I was completely hesitant, preferring to go to a turo-turo street vendor. But he said he saw "NOW OPEN" signs everywhere and thought maybe they've changed. I couldn't win that argument, so we went. They've changed indeed. The layout and the décor is completely different. (Whatever, that didn't really mean anything to me.) I just prepped myself for disappointment with their food. Party of 5, we ordered the barkada bundle for 6. Included is rice, caramel bites, Hawaiian pizza, double bacon pizza, 6 pieces of chicken, 2 orders of spaghetti and two pitchers of drinks. Tons of food for the bargain price of 900PHP. (It actually came out much cheaper due to a couple of senior citizen discounts!) The one thing that irked me as I placed the order is the unprofessionalism of the cashiers. I can't remember their names, but here's what happened. I was told that if I opted for iced tea with our drinks (or was it pineapple juice, whatever, it doesn't matter), it's for an additional cost. Cashier next to her said it should be included with the bundle at no additional cost. Then a little debate ensued RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. After settling the drinks dispute, they started playfully hitting each other like I wasn't there. They weren't even done with my transaction yet! I get it. They're young and clearly inexperienced, or maybe they just didn't care, but that was really REALLY annoying. I was gonna say something but decided to pull back, afraid they might mess with my food, so, it was best to let it go. Moving on! It took a good 15 minutes before our drinks and food started trickling in. And yes, this visit is a HUGE improvement from the last. The spaghetti was what it was. But unlike the last time, it came through HOT HOT HOT. It was decent. The chicken was also made to order. We had to let it cool off for a few before we all each took a bite. It was crispy, juicy and off the fryer HOT. Seasoning was a bit on the salty side but nothing the gravy couldn't settle. The pizzas were far better this time around vs last visit. We saw they roll out their dough fresh with each order. What a difference this practice makes. And they weren't cheap with the toppings either. The Hawaiian could have stayed in the oven a little longer for a better crisp. Otherwise, okay. Only fair to admit this was a far better experience than the last. Good thing I gave in to Big Bro's decision, otherwise, I probably would never have known. Definitely coming back.

We think the service was fast because we were the only customers The staff were very friendly. It was raining heavily when we decided to leave.

AMBIANCE: Parking | There's parking right next to the restaurant for about 5-8 cars. There are other parking spaces a block over as well. Seating | All inside seating for small groups ranging from 4-10 people. Seating and tabling are wooden and pretty cozy. Feels | The area itself is pretty charming and very tourist attraction-esque like. You have a lot of local shops, eateries, and the famous Paoay Church. The space itself has somewhat of this Italian feel.The structure is vintage, somewhat spacious, and the music are ballad covers of top 40s. Great place for people of all ages or a nice date night. FOOD: Pinakbet Pizza (Recommend) I'm not too sure about the pizza culture here but it's pretty good.The dough is pretty soft and not too cheesy. It's all vegetables first and if you want to add the final touch of fish sauce is served in a container. Longanisa Pizza (Recommend) Since I asked for a half and half, this was my other half. The longanisa didn't seem fried but more over packed. The sausage wasn't overwhelming but it would've been nice if there were more. CUSTOMER SERVICE: As a tourist they were pretty friendly. They were helpful and our food came in relatively quick. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. The food was a nice experience, the surroundings were pretty pleasant, and the food was good but I felt like there could've been more, maybe I'm used to American pizza. For those looking for a little comfort with an Ilocos Norte twist, I recommend checking this place out. TIPS: * To avoid the rush, come here during non-conventional hours (lunch/dinner) * They sell some pretty good pasalubongs if you're looking for that stuff.

We were on a Illocos Norte/Laoag City tour & the tour driver brought us here by mistake. It was…read moreclose to one of the places on our tour. We really don't know the area, so we're game. No issues getting in or being seated. We decide on three dishes: Lumpiang Shanghai: the lumpia was kind of doughy. My wife thought it was undercooked. Fried Chicken: I love fried chicken, but these pieces were cut way too small to not overcook and become dry. Bulalo: Beef/beef bone soup with vegetables. Perfect!!! The broth was full of flavor. Veggies were cooked to perfection. I could order this again. Highly recommended. All in all, adequate for our trip. One more thing: although the atmosphere is pleasant and the service attentive, there is something that needs to be mentioned. On my side of the table the glass top had a huge tip on the corner. I could see where they tried to put caulk on it to help prevent someone from being cut, but there were still sharp areas. They probably should not use that table. Enjoy.
