Charlie Chan anyone? It seems that Yellow Cab really hit it big with this pasta offering as there are only a few pizza places that serve pasta as good as their pizza. Charlie Chain is basically spaghetti tossed in olive-based sauce with chicken pieces, peanuts, mushrooms and a whole lot of herbs. While I'm not a fan of spicy noodles, Yellow Cab's Charlie Chan forces me to convert to the spicy side as I've been known to finish a whole order myself - along with a liter of water. Yellow Cab is surely one of the few local brands that has impressed me due to their marketing strategy. Being a local brand comes as a surprise to many people as the brand seems to exude international appeal. But no, that's definitely the catch. Yellow Cab is 100% proudly Pinoy made.

For pizza, I love the Dear Darla which is actually a panizza --- urban legends claim that the term is a hybrid of pizza and panini(?). The Dear Darla is a thin crust pizza pie that comes with a box of arugula leaves and alfalfa sprouts. To eat it, you are supposed to layer some of the sprouts and leaves on top of the pizza and then roll it like a burrito. The crisp and clean flavor of the greens provides a refreshing contrast to the greasiness of the meat and cheese. For dessert, a quarter pint of pistachio ice cream is the bomb. I unashamedly admit that I've tasted several brands that taste better than Yellow Cab's ice cream but I can't resist collecting the cute cans that they come in.

Don't get it confused, there is a Motorino in NYC. However, they also have a Motorino (same owners)…read morein Makati, Philippines! 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!

Big Guys is home to the 36 inch pizza (was that 36? I'm not sure. My memory just says it's hella big), a pizza too big we had to squish it just to make it fit into the elevator (it still didn't fit, we had to carry it sideways up the stairs - PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT!) If you're not that hungry, they also have smaller sizes. My usual order is their 1 large plus 1 medium pizza, all for 499 pesos. Good, eh?

First time trying Big Guy's Pizza. No long story here, just my rating as to flavor, based on U.S…read more NY style pizza. The size was more than enough. A large pizza (super supreme) will easily feed 4 for under $15. Delivery, less than one hour. Pizza crust was ok ( I ordered NY style ) but a bit over flowered. Taste was mediocre at best. They use processed mozzarella cheese and the sauce is very sweet. Toppings again were sparse and unseasoned but I understand why due to the size of the pizza. Overall, I've had far better pizza from a freezer box. If you're looking for a good NY style pizza look elsewhere. But if you're looking to feed a crew cheaply and taste doesn't matter, this is your place.

I was absolutely delighted to discover Pazzo Rollio in Robinsons Magnolia when they first opened…read more This is their first branch and I'm absolutely happy they now have a total of 3 branches. Their Roll Pizza is more commonly known as a panizza. This is a pizza with a thin and soft crust. The pizza slice is topped with arugula and alfalfa sprouts and rolled. I prefer alfalfa sprouts more since the taste doesn't over power the pizza's flavor. It also gives each bite a refreshing crispy texture. I like Pazzo Rollio's roll pizza because the crust doesn't flake or crack when you roll it. My favorite flavors are from their Pazzo Rollio Specials, Corleone's Order and Big Bang Supreme. You can also create your own pizza and have control over what toppings to put. Their Truffle Maddness pasta is pretty good too. The truffle isn't too strong but is the right amount to still be able to taste it. Their prices are reasonable. To make it even lighter on your wallets, they offer bundles (set meals) that are good for sharing. Service here is pretty good. Your pizza may take some time since they make it when you order it.

They have a branch here in Robinsons Magnolia which is also a good mall by the way. Ordered the Friends Forever for appetizer. The solo size could fit an appetite of two actually. I had their Parmigiana pasta which is actually good. The pasta serving is also good, I actually did not finished it all because I had Friends Forever first. Overall eating experience is satisfactory. Must try.

We've all had those irresistible late night or early morning pizza cravings. We've all also had…read morethose times too when the budget is pretty tight times (a frequent occurrence for people like me). Alberto's Pizza comes to the rescue in times like these. One might find many of these joints in the Visayas region like in Cebu or Iloilo, but there aren't as many in Metro Manila. Ironically, the one I'm a regular at is along Visayas Avenue. Being a 24/7 delivery pizza shop is definitely not a unique idea as a couple of bigger and more popular local pizza joints do deliver to very corner of Metro Manila 'round the clock. As I've alluded to though, the added value of Alberto's, is well, its value. You get an 11" pizza for less than 300 pesos, and even less than 200 pesos for some flavors. In my case where I'm within the delivery radius, it's free delivery and there is no minimum order requirement. My personally favorite is the "Meaty Royale." As the name suggests, it has all sorts of sausages as toppings, as well as pepperoni and ham. The toppings are pretty generous considering the price. As for the quality of the dough and ingredients, one can't obviously expect gourmet or brick oven-level standards, but once again factoring in how much (or less) you pay, it's more than does the job of taking care of hunger and satisfying a pizza craving. If the pizza isn't enough to take care of that hunger, then you can also choose from Alberto's rice meal selection (also all for a decent price).

(was full throughout our stay) Ice-cream covers on top of the counter looked enticing but I'll save them for another visit. After ordering at the counter, we were fortunate to find a table at the far end since it was a full house. To our amusement, other customers were also fanning themselves. :p I'm surprised how good food seems to outweigh a hot restaurant. New York Classic 18" : Size alone was already very satisfying! One slice was actually enough but I ended up getting full with a second one. Talk about Pepperoni overload! Crust was just right, having a fluffy texture that's addicting for me to chew on. We shared this order for 5. Service: Waiting time was okay. It probably felt long because of the full house and the oven-hot branch. :)

My opinion may not be justifiable enough considering that we ordered the cheapest pizza on the menu. The Pepperoni (395 PHP) it's a simple pizza topped with slices of pepperoni and topped with a good layer cheese. The pizza is divided into thin slices, good for sharing and easy handling. A satisfying snack before our main event elsewhere. The place can be described in one word; "Basic". Their empty interior certainly lacks an appeal and would easily be mistaken as a store on soften opening. The cool air-con is evident form the moist glass window. A good place to cool down after a long day and grabbing a quick bite is enough, but not something I would ever think of eating again. The price isn't wise, which feels like a lie.

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.

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!
