Food talk: Battle of the white pizza~

 

  I am a fan/ lover of pizza, specially white pizza or quattro formaggi. And so this post is about the battle of the white pizza.

 

  Every payday M and I indulge ourselves too good food, and every time we eat at an Italian restaurant or Pizza joint, we always try their quattro formaggi, to compare which has the best (in our taste) pizza. So, we’ve tried a couple from different places and here’s a run down.

   First up is: Pizza hut 6 or 7 Ultimate cheese pizza

  The name was enticing, it sounds like bursting with different flavors of cheeses and who can go wrong with Pizza hut right? When I want bready pizza, I go to Pizza hut.

    M and I was disappointed with this ( or maybe because we had high expectations, but hey can you blame us? )  It tasted more like a 2 cheese pizza to me, mozzarella and mild cheddar. But it was still worth trying if you haven’t had their ultimate cheese yet.

 

   Second: Joey Pepperoni’s – Quattro Formaggi

   It’s been a while since M and I ate here. Their Quattro was really divine, thin crispy crust with cheddary cheese (and it’s not the umay kind) but very filling. I highly recommend you try this.

 

   Third: Piadina’s – Quattro Formaggi

   Piadina’s version was different, it had a thin layer of white cheese topped with parsley. Very light and creamy, it’s hard to compare which is best between Joey’s and Piadina, I love them both. I’d definitely order this again and again when we get the chance to go back to Piadina.

 

   Last but not the least: Carlo’s Pizza

   We were able to try Carlos during our Tagaytay trip last year with our friends.  My eyes lit when I saw in their menu description: blue cheese. It wasn’t completely covered with blue cheese, just the right amount to tickle your senses. The crust was a little bit chewy but still crispy. The prices of Carlos are a pit pricey compared to Joeys and Piadina.

  Joey’s is affordable, Piadina is slightly affordable, Carlos is a little bit pricey. I remember their Calamri costs P200+ with only a few pieces of calamri, good for 2 persons or just 1 if you’re really hungry or just love calamri that much. The one at Red lemon grill, the restaurant in the hotel we stayed in is cheaper, tastes the same and more calamri’s to munch on.

 

  So, my verdict? among the 4 we’ve tried, which reins the BEST of them all??!

   CARLOS PIZZA!

   The blue cheese won my heart, and even M liked it too~ it’s a winner! and a must try if you haven’t. I’m sure there are better quattro’s out there, but among we’ve tried, this is the best! If I remember it right, they have a branch at at SM MOA.

 

   Any fans of white cheese pizza? any recommendations? would love to hear them

 

 

  Till then!

Food review: Day 2 at Carlos Pizza Tagaytay

 

   For our lunch on our day 2 vacation, BF and I ate again at Carlos Pizza, I enjoyed my pasta and pizza, BF only loved their pizza. Here’s what we had

                             Calamari P200+ with 2 kinds of dip

   I find it quite pricey, but it was really soft and the white dip, garlic something was really really good. It had a few pieces of calamari.

                                                        Bolognese

                                       Italian sausage pasta

     BF had the bolognese (as usual), I had the italian pasta. My order was okay, a little bit spicy (just the way I like it), the sausages were good too. Nothing special but still good and worth trying. I forgot the prices though, but it both costs less than P190

                           Quattro formaggi  - with blue cheese L-O-V-E

                                               Abruzzi – all meat pizza

      The quattro formaggi was to die for, maybe because I love blue cheese, the abruzzi was good too, we had left overs which we had as midnight snack that night.

    Overall…

    I’d give the quattro 5/5 spoons. For drinks we had the usual bottomless ice tea. The first time we ate there with our friends (on our first day) our total bill cost us P2,100 (our orders were the same pizza, 2 calamari’s and 4 bottomless ice tea’s) they have service charge plus VAT sales.

   For our lunch, it cost us around P1000+ something. As for the pasta, I’d give mine  3/5 spoons, I liked the pasta I ordered at Piadina better though.

   Here are pictures of the place, the first photos were taken on day 1 night time, the rest are day 2photos for our lunch date.

    I really find the place romantic, specially at night with all the Christmas lights

   The name of the place is One plaza, which isn’t too hard to find along the road

      Right after our lunch, we took a jeepney ride going to halfway zoo, will post about it tomorrow. By the way, there are branches of Carlos Pizza in the metro, they have one at SM Mall of Asia, I strongly recommend the quattro formaggi, that is if you are into blue cheese ;)

 

  Till my next post!
