As soon as we arrived, a friendly staff member opened the door for us, greeted us warmly, and let us choose where we'd like to sit. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's cozy, inviting, and has a great atmosphere. We ordered the Salami Pizza and Meatball Spaghetti. I remembered to take a photo of the pizza, but completely forgot to snap a picture of the spaghetti because we were so hungry and excited to dig in--LOL! The food was absolutely delicious. The highlight for me was their special Gino's Spicy Honey that they recommend drizzling over the pizza. I had never heard of or tried spicy honey on pizza before, but wow--it was amazing! The sweet and spicy flavor paired perfectly with the pizza and created a combination I'll definitely be craving again. Great food, friendly service, and a wonderful dining experience. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Makati!

I was just a…read morechild when we moved to Magallanes Village and I have fond memories of the events I've shared with family and friends eating at Shakey's. The location has changed since then but they had been in Magallanes Center ever since. Whenever I come home to Magallanes Village, I always find time to dine here since it's my Mama's favorite pizza place. We wanted a quick bite and decided to come here. I was surprised to see that they're celebrating 50 years. They have a special menu for this special event and they're offering 1975 pesos on their 1975 Blowout Meal. The meal is good for 7 people and it includes their favorite pizza, spaghetti, chicken, and garlic toast. However, there's only 3 of us and this meal is just too much for us. We just opted for a budget meal since we're not that hungry. We ordered their Wholesome combo-original bunch of lunch- with 2 slices of pizza, chicken, and spaghetti. The portion is just about right for us. I'm just excited to know that this place has lasted through 50 years of service. Congratulations and more power to the team in Magallanes.

I didn't want to talk too far by myself tonight out here, although the BGC area is supposed to be safe. There's a big mall on the other end of the street, out there is always tomorrow to take a look there. I think that this area is relatively safe versus the other hotel we stayed at, because around there, the surrounding area was not quite as developed and there was no sense of security and in fact the locals even said that you need to be careful when you walked around outside of the hotel grounds by the City of Dreams complex. i ordered their "my mix" combo, as you can pick a pizza pouch, one kind of chicken, and a pasta side and if you wanna upgraded it's only 99 pesos more, so you get all of this for 199+99, so i only paid three hundred and fifty seven pesos and that included my drink too, thus it's a good deal and i like to eat out in the economy vs only at the hotel. I had thechicken Alfredo, parmesan chicken, 2 pepperoni pizza pouches, and a Mug root beer. If I could do it again, I would double up on the pasta as that was the best out of the three. The others were good too, but there always has to be a winner..lol... The workers are outstanding as well!!

If you've tried Papa Johns in the US, you know what you're in for. Its fast food delivery pizza,…read morenot authentic Italian style. But that doesn't mean its bad. Portions here seem to be smaller than in the USA. Their small size here is just 9 inches. But that 9-inch pizza is surprisingly filling. All if their pizzas come with a whole jalapeño & their signature garlic butter sauce. The pizza itself isn't terribly remarkable. A step above Greenwich & Yellow Cab for sure, but not at the level of a pizza from a real Italian restaurant. But their secret weapon us really that garlic butter sauce. That's what elevates their pizza from a 3 to a 4. Delivery from their Jupiter branch from Makati to Taguig generally takes half the time quoted, which is great. Receiving a pizza in 30 minutes in metro Manila is no small accomplishment. Their phone ordering system is prompt, with caller ID and they store your delivery info. No waiting on hold, unlike Dominos. They are inconsistent with the condiments tho. A small pizza supposedly comes with 1 garlic sauce. I always order 1 extra. But I've received anywhere from 1 to 4 depending on their mood. They offer free parmesan ( if they remember it). No hot sauce (unless they're just always forgetting it). No tissues. They do have chili flakes tho. Other places always give you a flyer with menu to facilitate repeat orders. Papa Johns never does that. Dont know why. It seems like a no brainer to increase order frequency. I still say the best most authentic pizza is from Caffe Puccini. But Papa Johns with their garlic sauce is definitely worth trying. Especially if you don't want to go out.

I like Papa John's. It's not my exactly my favorite pizza place, but it's rock solid. The Papa…read moreJohn's at DLSU recently shut down, but it hasn't stopped me from eating at other Papa John's branches. I had some really good memories associated with that place - mostly because it was our go-to birthday celebration dinner place and our go-to org working lunch place because there was a 30% discount for students. I mean, when you're looking for a good barkada meal, pizza is always in the conversation right? Papa John's makes damn good pizza: particularly their chicken pizza with the barbecue sauce drizzled on top - that's fucking divine. If you can get another pizza, add in their pepperoni too which is also pretty good. Not only that, but Papa John's offers a variety of good pasta too - their spicy penne is one to look out for. They also have a variety of barkada-packaged meals which can actually feed more than they're described. (The 4-person barkada meal can definitely feed 6.) Papa John's makes pizza a hell of a lot better than a lot of pizza chain places, and then some, so if you're itching for some good and pretty damn sulit pizza, then it's a good place to go to.

The tiny…read moreentrance littered with bright balloons caught my attention and realized this was the Korean pizza chain featured on TLC a long time ago. A nice open kitchen is the restaurant's highlight along with smell of fresh dough wafting through the air greets you. Doesn't hurt that their staff is very welcoming. Nice, clean and hip interiors give that KPop vibe. Okay, it's established this chain seems like a big deal in Korea but could their eccentric food combinations be a hit with the local palate? Turns out it does! The menu is very inventive. Would want to return and try out the different crust options like the sweet potato filled edge. Food was served fairly fast at 10 minutes even when the waiter said about 15-20 mins. The Bulgogi pizza had great dough. Not too dense, right amount of crisp and not yeasty nor oily. Oozing with cheese too! Asked for a bit of gochujang, really a good pairing. One regular sized pie does it for two hungry people. Another eyebrow raising dish was the Seafood kimchi oven baked spaghetti. I found it interesting. Think of your regular pomodoro loaded with flavor, more cheese and bounty of the sea. Really works. Ummm, skip the baked chicken. Can't wait to go back!

Last weekend, my wife and I walked over to Greenbelt to beat the summer afternoon heat. She noticed a sign that says a certain Mr. Pizza has open up in Greenbelt 3. A true blue pizza lover, my wife took my hand and wasted no time going to the place. At first, I had no idea that Mr. Pizza was a Korean pizzeria. But when we entered the brightly lit eating place and I saw this mesmerizing all-female K-Pop group dancing on the giant wall screen, plus all the staff shouting some unfamiliar greetings as they bowed down, I immediately realized Mr. Pizza is not a local brand. They have round leather-bound menus. Inside the menu pages, they have embedded the approximate sizes of their pizzas so customers know how big or small their orders will be when served. Very functional. We tried two of their pizzas. First, the Mr. Pizza Combo. This is their classic version, topped with crumbled meat, corn kernels, bacon, olives, and bell peppers. The second was the thin-crust Crab Cream. Now this was a literally sweet pizza. Apart from the shredded kani sticks, it's topped with sugar. Sweet tooths will love the Crab Cream pizza. Overall, Mr. Pizza was a unique experience for us. Next time, we'll try the Seafood Island 2 with real shrimp tempura and the Potato Gold, which came highly recommended by our attendant.

Do people even eat in this restaurant?…read more Every time I pass by this place, there's no one inside or if there are people, only one or two tables are occupied. Although, I noticed that they're big on deliveries and their delivery men and motorcycles leave a lot. With that being said, if you're looking for a quiet place with good food, go to Yellow Cab Pizza. I don't know what to tell you to order because all their pizzas are good. It's not that oily. The crust isn't that thick (which I love). And they really fill the pizza up with toppings. Of course, you'll have to shell out a few more pesos to be able to enjoy this awesome pizza, but it's worth it. Another thing I love is their pasta with meatballs. I sometimes give the pasta away to my parents, siblings or friends and just munch on the meatballs. There have been times when I've requested for extra meatballs. They're big, good and filling. You might be full after having pizza and pasta, but you'll always have room for dessert. Order some of their ice cream before heading out the door in the heat.

Motorino is located in the Greenbelt Mall and I definitely get lost trying to find it. This mall is huge! Since I was feeding 5 people, I got to pick an array of pizzas! We started with the Classic Marghertia! Look at the joy in my uncle's face! The pizza was quiet good. I wish it had more sauce and cheese, but the crust was on point. The sauce is a bit sweeter, but I honestly think everything is sweeter in the Philippines. We also ordered the Soppressata Piccante (personal favorite!) which had Fior Di Latte, soppressata, chilies and topped with oregano. My cousin ordered the 4 cheese with Fior Di Latte, Pecorino, Gorgonzola and Provolone. It was so cheese-y. My brother also ordered the calzone which was the table favorite. Inside they stuffed it with Ricotta, American Bacon and spinach. It wasn't as cheese gooey as I was expecting though, but ricotta will do that for you. You can hear my disappointment. Haha but it was still pretty good. At roughly 600 pesos a pie which is about $12 a pie, it's not bad. $12 a pie is the US is a steal, but for the Philippines, it's quiet expensive. Thank God I'm American!

When I choose to have my fill of Yellow cab, I like dining in and hogging the chili oil bottle. I don't know why other pizza joints haven't followed suit, but chili oil on pizza is the best idea ever, it's so addicting that I'd be willing to pay for a take-out if they charged (but please don't). Although my visits to Yellow Cab spike only during their Pepperoni Fridays promo, the urge to dial their number is always there.

I love the pairing of the fresh arugula, olives and alfalfa sprouts with the pizza and then creating your own pizza rolls has that rustic feel that I love. It feels like I just made the pizza at home with my grandmother. I'm also a big fan of their twice baked potato halves, I can eat all those by myself but in recent years, I noticed the decrease in size. :( Lastly, I love their Charlie Chan chicken pasta!
