Are you ready to Grumble?
Weekend food tripping is Pizza Time! I had boring Chinese Hot Pot dishes in which I've already talked about over past weekend food trippings! So today, I will be posting the mid-week food trip me and the husband did after my Tek Tok TV shoot! We passed by Katipunan and for me, when I hear the word Katipunan, I go flapping my arms like chicken wings because it sounded like a place so far away! It's actually not especially on traffic-less hours!
After the fun shoot, we passed by Sandy's Pizza, I read so much positive reviews about this Pizza Place owned by the mom-preneur Sandy Arellano! She brings New York Pizza plus Pinoy-American Fusion Pizzas right in front of us!
Mr. AMW had to take a U-turn because we are both intrigued with the taste of this pizza everyone's been talking about.

The 4 flavors we chose!
(photo organized from least favorite to gastronomical experience)
Combination
A little bit of everything with a lot of Flavors
This is our least favorite because it does have a little bit of everything which makes it overpowering to our sense of taste!
Meatzarella
Bacon, Pepperoni and Italian Sausages
Wherever "pizza" place we go, we have to try their ALL MEAT special! It must be because I am with a carnivorous Mr. AMW? He knows his sausages, bacon and pepperoni! It passed his standards! Bacon lovers may find it disappointing that their lovely bacon are served in tiny bits instead of the usual bacon strips! I like it that it has a hint of bacon minus the guilt!
Thai Curry Chicken
A melange of wonderful and unique spices
We actually chose this over the Indian Curry Chicken. We asked the waitress to help us choose which one is better and she told us to try this first! Great decision to listen to her! I actually like the taste of the sweet tasting Thai Curry Chicken. No weird curry taste on pizza! I promise you that!
White Pizza
Kesong Puti, Mozzarella and Parmesan
I am actually a fan of a very simple pizza flavor - 4 cheese pizzas. This may not be 4 types of cheese but the three-cheeses' very unique Kesong Puti (Filipino's White Cheese) included is enough to satisfy my need for "mouse food" *lol* This is my favorite among the 4 flavors we chose! I agree with Sandy, start by trying the simplest pizza they offer first before you go experimental!
Overall, the experience was great! What's unique with Sandy's Pizza as compared to the rest of the Pizza's I've tried? Super crunchy, thin crusted pizza that's quite chewy in between! It is obvious in one bite that it is freshly made and baked! Best of all, not oily! I am not a fan of those oil-drenched pizzas!
Keep in mind that we tasted this pizza fresh from the oven! I am not sure if the quality will be the same if you have these delivered!

Tel. no: (632) 721-8329 Before I end this post, thanks to my dearest Sister-in-law for this wonderful Haagan Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream Cake. Generous amount of strawberries nestled on top of cream and strawberry ice cream cake! White chocolate sheets on the sides for extra calories! I want to say its perfect as it looks but the strawberries are not in season so its a bit too sour to taste!

Gorgeous right? The strawberries are HUGE!

Michelle, hmm, I used to read 3 magazines or 4 magazines a month, now I don't do much anymore, I just buy randomly. If it helps my blog? well, I do learn about what's happening or what's the trend, but I don't base what I read to discuss on my blog :) Hope this helps
Kat_m, Yes, they have a branch at San Juan, I think that's the original one because Sandy lives around San Juan area!
ReplyDeleteGio, hehehehe me too, I want another slice!
