For their unique starters, the texture of their doughballs al forno complemented the chewy cheese well (and I love that there's some crispy parts as well from the bubbling hot plate).
As for mains, the Duo Romana pizza is an excellent deal, the classic combination I got of the Fiorentina and American Jack a terrific balance for first-timers unsure what to try for their first time.
But this particular branch I need to give extra praise. The staff were very welcoming and always checked if I needed anything; kudos to their manager as well for being hands-on and helping out when it gets super busy.
I wish I could have tried using their app (which comes with freebies for first-time users and promos, plus cashless payments) but since my Google Account is set to the Philippines, the app was deemed incompatible for my phone (which is odd since my hardware is hardly outdated, being a Samsung S20 Plus). Not a dealbreaker, but I would have liked to have tried the service.
As for ambience and accommodations, tables are spaced well away from each other and chairs amply comfortable. You can have conversations with friends without worrying about disturbing other diners. Very much has that hole-in-the-wall vibe, which I like immensely.
But I went there not for the service but rather for a pizza. And this choice of place has turned out to be great! Perhaps I was unusually hungry but it surely was one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life! (100% seriously)
Great food.
