Back from Hibernation in time for Pablo's Pizza

Hi Guys!  Anyone there?  Hello?  Hello?  Can you read me?

I hope you guys (our fans! hahaha) are still there despite our absence for a few weeks (errr months??).  The Pakalistas are extremely busy running their own empires (okay small business) but for sure we haven’t forgotten our mission and vision to Discover Cebu Restaurants One Bite at a Time!

Lately, things have turned around because we are already starting to feel the fruits of our labor.  Restaurants (okay just a few) are already calling us to try out their food but unfortunately we’re so busy to attend to it (sensing attitude problem?).  But anyway, karon we will make hinay-hinay nga mo atiman ani nila na.

First up is Pablo’s Pizza!

Cebu Restaurants: Preview

I’ve been unusually silent on this food blog this couple of weeks.  I’ve been busy on quite a lot of things from official work, photography jobs, and freelance product research and development.

You might be wondering if I’m still doing my job as a Pakalista.  The answer to that is an unfortunate YES!  I have the extra inches on my waist to prove that.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be reviewing the following Cebu restaurants: Mediterraneo Greek Restaurant Bar and Cafe, Pablo’s Pizza, Tandoori, and Abaseria.

Calda Pizza and Booze – A Perfect Match!

Okay, it may sound like I am a big “palahubog” or “pala-inom” but I am not anymore!  I just think that a nice, hot and fresh-off-the-pan Calda Pizza in Lahug with beer or gin is a perfect combination.  What do you guys think?

Roma Mia's Godfather Chops and More…

During my college days roughly 2 years ago I used to associate Roma Mia as a restaurant in Cebu serving mostly pizza, pasta, and those addictive calzones.

Late last year, I was introduced to their grilled dishes, the Godfather Chops in particular, and from then on I’ve found my favorite porkchop in Cebu!

The adage that says “Once tasted, always wanted!” holds very true for Roma Mia’s Godfather Chops.

Pizza and Pasta at MB's Tavern

MB’s Tavern is located (near Mactan Doctors Hospital) just a few kilometers from our house, but I’ve been there only a few times.  Most of the time I’m there with my high school friends (+ one other). They just love MB’s pizza!  Back when my friends head over to our house for a pakal session (me cooking baked mac), they usually grab a box of pizza from MB’s Tavern.

What You Really Ought to Know about Da Vinci's Pizza

It was a Sunday night and a spur of the moment thing when my family decided that we go out for a pizza.  The only pizza places I know close to our residence are MB’s Tavern, JCA Gourmet Pizza, and Da Vinci’s Pizza.

I was not “feeling it” to go to the first two pizza restaurants mentioned and I was kinda craving for some Da Vinci’s Pizza because it has been a while since I had one.  The much raved about Shawarma Pizza at Da Vinci’s was also worth investigating.

Breaking Another Dawn with Alberto's Pizza

Yes, guys!  The Pakalistas once again visited Alberto’s Pizza in Cebu after a very long Saturday that we had.

A Vegetarian and a Meatlover Sharing ONE Handuraw Pizza??!!

I have always loved Handuraw Pizza way back when it still had a branch adjacent to Kahayag Cafe in Mabolo, Cebu City.  Pakalista Jon and I happen to be in One Mango Avenue and just had to grab a Handuraw Pizza.

Big problem though -Jon is a VEGETARIAN and I’m a MEAT LOVER! What to do???!!

Breaking the Dawn with Alberto

Sunday dawn…

It was already 4 am, and we were hungry after that awesome yet another edition of “Best Night Ever!” kind of thing.

I was craving for some tapsilog but when we passed by this pizza restaurant in Cebu, all that hunger for a sunny-side up egg went away.

Now I’m ready for some Alberto’s Pizza.

What Everybody Ought to Know about Da Vinci's

Da Vinci’s Pizza is a homegrown Cebu-based pizza parlor that reinvented the customary tomato-based pizzas and conquered Cebu one branch at a time.

What is the real deal?

Is it REALLY THAT DELICIOUS as most ISTORYANs are raving about?
