Weekend Food Tripping at: Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria



Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria has been around for quite some time but I did not feel "intrigued" to visit this place as I thought "It's just another pizza parlor"!  When I was at Save More supermarket, it was one of those days I am too hungry I can eat a horse moment, I wanted something fast and I was craving for pasta!

The place was warm and cozy, what the heck!  Pizza is pizza, pasta is pasta, a hungry crocodile has to eat!!!   A menu was given to us and it says... 



I wonder, How Pizza Should Really  Be?  A lot of us have our own version of a perfect pizza, my kind of pizza is thin crust oven baked to crispiness!  Real mozarella cheese with the right amount of toppings!  I am not asking too much!  Did Joey Pepperoni pass my expectations?  Read on...


Let's start with the service, I love it that their staffs are quite friendly and have a smile in their faces!  I was at Save More Sta. Mesa branch by the way.  Though the restaurant was quite small and it was in the afternoon, the food came in a  bit late but I was busy with their Fun Facts game anyways, as long as the food is fresh, I don't mind!



Bottomless Iced Tea
Php35.00 (less than $1.00)

It's bottomless, and it's only less than a dollar, what more can I ask for? Nothing!
But another round of iced tea please! :P



Pizza Messicana

Beef toppings, bacon, cheddar cheese, 
mushrooms and mexican seasoning

Php135.00 (approx $2.90) for SMALL

Thin crust - check!
Right amount of toppings - check!
Mozzarella cheese - check!

Crispy thin crust - well, it started out a bit soft, 
and we requested for them to oven toast it again, 
they happily obliged..so finally...check! 



Chicken Parmigiana
Pomodoro sauce topped with deep fried chicken breast 
and melted mozzarella cheese
Php218.00 (approx $4.80)

It's actually just one order that's good for 2!  We requested for the kitchen to separate them in two!  I love how wonderful it tastes!  Fresh tomatoes oozes inside the mouth!  Though I'm allergic to chicken, I swear, I devoured the deep fried chicken breast and popped an anti-histamine tablet!

 

A closer look
Oh! Can I just add, the garlic bread is fabulous!!!



I had a wonderful experience and I'll definitely go back to try their other pasta and pizza dishes!  Oh yeah, they have rice dishes too and a whole bunch of set meals!  Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria is definitely not just another pizza place!  They do know how Pizza and Pasta should be :)


By the way!  US Readers!  Here ye!
I'll be having a contest for US readers up anytime soon!
So please check back :) It'll be fun!


Have a wonderful weekend food tripping!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  13. Tried this, too a year ago I think, the one in Dela Rosa and I loved it! :) I'm not sure if it's still there, though. I've dated a guy who introduced this to me by having them deliver food while we had DVD marathons and I was hooked [to the pizza, anyway] :D Great posts as usual! And I have a house near Save More in Sta. Mesa, I do my groceries there, too, sometimes :D

  14. Pizza! Yum!

  15. mmm... making me hungry!I remember when I was still there in the philippines I use to go to yellow cab almost every week! haha... i miss Shakey's mojo potatoes sigh.

    Thank you for the comment nikki! I know I have to but I think its just fair(?) to let these contestants know why I picked the winners. If people aren't happy about it then too bad. Its sad that a person who I consider as a "close" blogger would do such thing to me. But her choice, I aint stopping her for doing that.
