Papa John's Pizza Opens in the Philippines

Papa John's Pizza is now in the Philippines!!! Papa John's Pizza opened its first branch in the Philippines, their flagship, at the Robinsons Galleria Veranda. We visited last week and tried out what they claimed to be better ingredients on their better pizzas. I knew we were in for a treat! :)



Papa John's Pizza is the world's third largest pizza chain with more than 3,500 restaurants in 30 countries. For more than 25 years, it has been serving its customers with no less than its “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.” brand promise and "Filipinos can expect to enjoy the same great taste and high quality ingredients" on every pizza it makes.

Papa John's Pizza offer a comprehensive menu which features its signature Pizzas from all over the world and specialty pizzas like their bestseller, the Super Papa's Pizza, All the Meats, Pepperoni Pizza, etc, and they also offer Cheese sticks, Chicken Wings, Pastas, among others.



Of course, we ordered their bestseller, the Super Papa's Pizza, 9" Small and requested it to be cut crisscrossed. It's made with 7 ingredients, a combination of their "tasty Pepperoni, Italian sausage, succulent Chicken Roll, freshly slicked Mushrooms, Onions, Green Peppers and Black Olives." A legendary taste treat? Yes indeed! :)

It came with a garlic butter dipping sauce and a pepperoncinis on the side. FYI. You bite the green "pepperoncinis" before or after you bite on your pizza. You can request for the regular Tabasco if you're not the adventurous type; but I suggest you try it, it's not that hot, as you would imagine it to be. It's actually sweet at first, with a fiery but tolerable aftertaste.

The verdict? Two thumbs up for Papa John's Pizza for it lived up to its promise of "better ingredients, better pizza." I loved the pizza experience, and I will surely come back for more pizza love. You guys should try it!



By the end of this January, Papa John's Pizza Philippines will introduce their very own delivery service, so you can enjoy better ingredients and better pizza anytime, anywhere. Papa John's Pizza delivery service contact number will be 631-88-72 or 631-86-89. Store hours are from 10:00am to 10:00pm on weekdays & Sundays, and 10:00am to 12:00am on Fridays & Saturdays.

Right now, they are busy with the preparations for their 2nd branch, which will be located at the University Mall along Taft Avenue, Manila; and after that, their 3rd branch, which will come much later at 53B Annapolis St., Greenhills, San Juan.

Manila's Signature Dishes 2010 - Pizza Hut Bistro's Lechon Pizza

Pizza Hut Bistro's Lechon Pizza is included in the Manila's Signature Dishes 2010 line-up. The first time I heard about this, I simply cannot imagine how it would be presented. I became curious as how it would taste, and how the whole package of this dish would be. Therefore, given the chance to try the Lechon Pizza, I visited their branch in Glorietta a day before the launch of the much talked about addition to Pizza Hut Bistro and Pizza Hut.



We were served a family-size Lechon Pizza. To my surprise, it smelled really good, and it tasted good as well. The whole pizza is just sinful, I am sure. More so, it came with a lechon sauce, or sarsa, that complemented the dish. Props to Pizza Hut for introducing the Lechon Pizza, a truly Pinoy classic inspired dish.



With this we were served the Seafood Supreme pasta wrap, which was made of shrimp, squid and scallops blended with tomato cream sauce topped with capers and basil. As they say, it's a truly supreme Pizza Hut dish!



Not included in the Pizza Hut Lechon Pizza set, but we tried it anyway, was the Supreme Combo Platter which was a sampler of chicken tenders, tropical shrimp, onion rings, and steak fries. YUMMY!



For the drinks, I suggest you try out their Smoothies, fresh juices, Milkshakes or their interesting new coffee collection. You won't go wrong with that :)
