    When it comes to pizza in the Philippines, I have two sets of criteria - one, how it ranks against…read morepizza in the U.S., and two, how it ranks against other choices in the Philippines. Almost all pizza in the Philippines is awful. Almost tasteless, no matter what toppings you get, to the point of being mostly like the cheesy bread you get in the States. I'm not exaggerating for effect; the pizza slice you get at a 7-11 (the one that's been under the warmer light for 2 hours) in the U.S. is a better pizza than what you usually get in the in the Philippines. And I've had pizza all over the Philippines, so I'm basing this opinion on a huge sample size. Don't get me wrong; there is good pizza available, almost always in a very large city i.e. Cebu or Manila). It's made at a place that an U.S. national or an Italian national owns, and he/she is the one actually making the pizza. As you might guess, these places are few and far between. And the pizza at these places is expensive. This place is a huge fail against the U.S. and an "above-average" for pizza in the Philippines. Not cooked enough, paper-thin crust, but, it did have more taste than most other pizzas. As an additional minus, this place has completely indifferent customer service, AND, there was trash on the floor and dirty dishes/baskets/platters covering all the tables. People would just push all the dirty plates from the previous diners into a big pile in one corner of the table. So, even though the pizza itself is above average for the Philippines, the poor customer service and the lack of cleanliness drag this place down to 1 star.

    So many choices for food. Pizza (duh), Italian cuisine, burgers, Korean Grill, shabu-shabu,…read morespecialty coffees, smoothies, boba tea, gelato and of course Pinoy cooking. We were a large group of 16 and we got orders of those large family sized pies and a barkada combo consisting of pancit bihon, lumpia shanghai, sweet 'n sour fish, bicol express and a platter of rice. Food was great. Service excellent. There was an outage, which meant no AC and deal with the heat by fanning your face off. Still 5/5.

    I hate to be too harsh, because it is what it is... I mean there are just certain things you can't…read moreget in the Philippines- decent coffee, a decent cheeseburger, a decent taco, and yes, you guessed it, decent pizza. We (I) actually had high hopes when we spotted this place. I mean the name says it all, right? It should be "rockin'." But it's not. The ambiance is nice, a good dining area decked out in good bamboo furniture. Plenty of fans to keep you cool, so that's nice. The service? Not the greatest... kitchen staff doesn't know how to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously, so one person's dish would arrive seemingly 15 minutes before the next. And the drinks came out after the food arrived... what? Who does that? The pizza? Nope! Sorry, not hideous, but nothing to get excited about. We tried two, a large "cheeseburger" pizza, which in theory is new to their menu, and a classic "Hawaiian" which was better. A major glitch? The smaller Hawaiian pizza came out on a wood platter type thing, and seconds after it was placed on our table we noticed it was covered with ants. Yes, ants! We alerted our waitress right away, she took it back to the kitchen and in a few minutes it returned on a presumably new wood platter. So the ants? I suppose most of them were gone, but knowing they just slid the pizza off and onto a new platter kind of drove the poor service vibe home even further. No real apologies for the ant gaff, just an "oh, ok." Pizza joints in this part of the world aren't exactly bountiful, so you learn to accept what is available, but given the choice I don't think I'd go back.
