Pizza slices bigger than your face, for around P99 to P109 per slice, damn good hotdogs for P99, fried chicken, calzones and baked rolls at super affordable prices... I could go on and on. The food here is just off the charts. So which is better, S&R or Pizza Warehouse? Weirdly enough, I can't say. Both joints offer the same products, although S&R is a bit cheaper. They taste similar, but they are different. Honestly, this boils down to a matter of where you are at when your craving strikes. If there is a definite plus for Pizza Warehouse here, it's the fact you don't need a membership to buy food at their restaurant. Man, that's huge.

Whenever I'm feeling depressed, pizza is one of the things I instantly crave for. Partner that with some ice-cold beer and I am good to go. One of my favorite pizza places would be SnR. They serve extra large pizza slices in different flavors. Sadly though, I need to have an SnR membership card to be able to buy from their food stall. I was almost decided on getting one until I found out that Pizza Warehouse was put up in Glorietta 4. Pizza Warehouse offers the same type of food as SnR's in-house cafeteria. They sell both solo slices and whole pizza pies in various flavors. My personal fave is their All-Cheese Pizza, which you can get a slice of for only 99pesos. Another flavor I enjoy is their Garlic and Shrimp Pizza, which you can get for only 109pesos a slice. They also serve Pepperoni Pizza and an All-Vegetarian Pizza. Pizza Warehouse also has Churros. Personally, I go for their Cinnamon Churros (45pesos). They also have Calzone, Roast Chicken with Rice and more. The venue itself looks more like a fast food chain than a restaurant. The place fills up pretty fast especially when you visit during merienda hours (2 to 5pm). The last time I went there, the aircon wasn't emitting as much cool air. It probably could be that the mall was really crowded plus the weather has been extremely hot lately.

Pizza is a specialty food shop, most known by their 36-inch pizza. Don't worry, they also have pizza sizes in small, medium and large. However, just for fun or for serious hunger, order their largest size and see how much yourbelly can take! I recommend these flavors of pizza: Classic Ham & Cheese, Italian, Bacon and Super Supreme. Tip: make sure you order in just the nick of time, since laid-out and sogging pizza would not taste as good as new, melting and hot pizza!

But hey, you won't have to trouble yourself in the kitchen to accommodate these, just get your phone ready and start dialing in Big Guys! and that'll surely do the trick. Warning, as their name would suggest, the pies coming out of their ovens are for no mere mortals. These pies are for the incarnations of titans! Or basically, those who have the appetites of titans. Known for pies that can go as big as about 3 feet in diameter (you can already use that pizza as your baby's blanket, fyi), Big Guys! pizzas will definitely be your diet's worst adversary. Worried about the quality? Well don't be, not all big servings lack in flavor, that's the Big Guys! guarantee. Not only that, these pies also come with a price tag that's surprisingly not as big. At 1000 plus pesos for each of their biggest concoctions, better forget about Pizza Hut's promos, this is one thing that will definitely give you your money's worth.

I was absolutely delighted to discover Pazzo Rollio in Robinsons Magnolia when they first opened…read more This is their first branch and I'm absolutely happy they now have a total of 3 branches. Their Roll Pizza is more commonly known as a panizza. This is a pizza with a thin and soft crust. The pizza slice is topped with arugula and alfalfa sprouts and rolled. I prefer alfalfa sprouts more since the taste doesn't over power the pizza's flavor. It also gives each bite a refreshing crispy texture. I like Pazzo Rollio's roll pizza because the crust doesn't flake or crack when you roll it. My favorite flavors are from their Pazzo Rollio Specials, Corleone's Order and Big Bang Supreme. You can also create your own pizza and have control over what toppings to put. Their Truffle Maddness pasta is pretty good too. The truffle isn't too strong but is the right amount to still be able to taste it. Their prices are reasonable. To make it even lighter on your wallets, they offer bundles (set meals) that are good for sharing. Service here is pretty good. Your pizza may take some time since they make it when you order it.

Must try.

Our diet only allowed me and him 400 calories and 500 calories respectively, and so Tim Ho Wan's pork buns were not an option. We decided to go to Amici because it's been tried and tested, and at least the food was cheap. It was dinnertime on a Friday night, but the place, to our great relief, wasn't full at all. We ordered my favorite Ai Tesori Del Mare and the rosemary chicken. I'm glad that they now serve the latter in smaller servings; before, one didn't have a choice but to order half of a chicken and bring home leftovers (that is, if one was alone). The servers here aren't as cheerful and attentive as the ones in the Don Bosco branch, and just that human touch, I realized, is just so important. Our food didn't taste as the good as the Don Bosco branch's versions, though I suspect that I'm probably just imagining things. It's pretty noisy in there, as most mall restaurants are, but I like that Amici exists in that mall because there are very few places in SM that serve good, moderately priced salads and other food that isn't junk.

The experience, while nice, wasn't anything to write home about. We came in at 8PM, and despite it being peak dinner time, a grand total of three tables were occupied. Also, although friendly, the staff was inattentive at times - which was inexcusable given the fact that the restaurant was empty and they were overstaffed. We ordered the three cheese and pepperoni pizza, which was great! We asked if we could get it on a flatbread base (which we'd heard rave reviews about), the staff said it wasn't possible. That was a bummer and seemed like something that they could easily accommodated. They have a Caramia (the dessert shop that specialises in ice cream cakes) located within the restaurant and a selection of their desserts on their menu. Pros: + Good food + Large, clean restaurant + Friendly service + Caramia within restaurant Cons: - Preoccupied servers - Very, very empty Bottom line: If you're looking for decent thin crust pizza while at Mega Mall, give Amici a try!

I have had Yellow Cab pizzas before. Not only do these pies take too long to prep and serve, but…read morethere is always an oily or greasy sheen on the pies. Not a fan. So a Yellow Cab meal for me is a pack of Hot Wings paired with its Charlie Chan pasta. The chicken wings are not too heavy on the coating, but are hefty and moderately spicy. I used to whip up my own blue cheese dressing to go with the wings, and make a huge batch of fries with my Philips Airfryer. (Because Yellow Cab's taters are mucho expensive, and hardly makes sense to a frequent grocery shopper and home cook like myself. Just sayin'.) Charlie Chan Pasta is another moderately spicy Asian-inspired dish that is very delicious and filling. Chicken breast, noodles, peanuts, and some vegg. It's a complete meal in itself.

It was al dente and the red sauce complemented the filling. I thought I'll order appetizers but I was filled already with the serving size. We had tiramisu for dessert (my favorite cake) and I found their version not too sweet and the serving size is good for two so everything else is good. However, the cake was too creamy so maybe the cake should be chilled more before serving. Overall, the experience was good. The restaurant is open so expect people passing by near your tables unless you choose a spot that's inner to the restaurant.

I visited their EDSA-caloocan branch. It was one of the busiest branch, even at 9pm, it was full. I was assisted and seated in the bar. Most of the time, I would order their 2-pc. chicken with rice, but sadly, they reformulated their menu. So I got the bunch of lunch instead. It includes a soup, salad, pizza, pasta, mojos, and chicken. The salad was plated clumsily. It was just literally dumped in my plate. I know it was a busy day, but atleast plate it nicely. It's not a rabbit who's going to eat the few leaves of romaine. to dump it like that. The soup was cream of corn and chicken. It tasted like it but some od the roux mixture wasn't melted properly that created lump.s Chicken was still as good as before, although dry, I still love the seasoning and pairing it with ketchup. The pizza was a fail. The crust was bland, so I left the edges on my plate. The servers was quick and attentive, but I didn't feel the Shakey's hospitality from their other branches. THat they would introduce themselves, that they would be our order taker, etc. etc. And asking us how was the food and the whole experience. I'm not sure if they don't do it anymore or its just late already. But that's one thing that make Shakeys standsout, more then the chicken and mojoes. #TheFoodCrawlers #OngsFoodprints #SplatMNL

The food and environment is typical Shakey's: pizzas, pastas, mojos, fried chicken, among other popular choices which are delicious and satisfies appetites of all ages. Comfortable seats, wide spaces, and family-oriented decorations and motifs create a relaxing atmosphere fit for such occasions. The service of the staff from this branch is better than most Shakey's branches, which has a tendency to serve the bills or orders relatively slowly compared to other restaurants. The waiters, cashiers, and all other staff members are very cordial and polite, and they always smile. At one point, one of my companions left behind a gift I got from Istanbul and the Shakey's staff managed to save it and returned it when I picked it up a few minutes later. I commend Shakey's MCU as one of the best Shakey's branches I have ever visited.
