Picazza Pizza House Review

So my weird cravings kicked in again and my taste buds are looking for some freshly cooked pizza. Besides Maginhawa Street in Quezon City, Marikina also has its own food haven, Lilac Street. With my mallow buddy, we visited Picazza Pizza House. The store is located at 56-C Lilac Street.

 Upon entering, you will be greeted by the orange, green and red colored chairs and the long black and white doodle mural on your left. The place has two floors with 6 tables on the first and 3 tables and the restroom on the second. The place is air conditioned and well lighted. We we're warmly greeted by the waitress who gave us the two-page menu immediately.

We decided to try their Make your own pizza (Php 210 includes 5 toppings; Php 10 per additional topping)

In creating your pizza, it requires 3 steps.

Step 1 : choose your dough (Plain, Pesto, Wheat)

Step 2: choose you sauce (Red, White, Barbecue)

Step 3: choose your toppings - this step has 3 categories namely meat, vegetables, fruits

So here's what we got

 Plain dough, Red sauce, Grilled chicken, Bacon, Crumbled Meatballs, Pineapples and Mushroom

Pesto dough, Red sauce, Grilled chicken,  Mushroom, Italian Sausage, Tomatoes, Pineapple and Caramelized Onion

Both of us ordered Jasmine Iced Tea (Php 55)  but they also serve water upon request.

It took us 15 - 20 minutes before our pizza arrived. The long wait is worth it because their pizza is really good. The pizza is 11 inches. The crust they used is thin crust and surprisingly soft and chewy. The toppings are evenly distributed and I wasn't expecting that they will be this generous with their toppings. I was really happy upon seeing that my pizza has a lot of cheese and bacon knowing that bacon as an ingredient is a bit pricey. I can taste the flavor of every topping I chose in every bite I made. The toppings and sauce I chose made a good taste together. The only problem I can point out is that the crust did not hold the toppings very well as they tend to fall when I try to take a bite, especially the crumbed meatballs. Nonetheless, it was a great pizza for me. I can still remember my friend scolding me because I kept on saying "ang sarap!" in my every bite.

The Jasmine Iced Tea tastes authentic and tasty. If you're looking for an Iced Tea that has that real tea taste, then this drink is for you. I just hope they have an option to upgrade it to bottomless so I can enjoy my drink longer.

During our stay in the restaurant, three groups of people arrived and I noticed that ate, the waitress was alone in serving the customers so she looked disoriented as the orders and inquiries kept coming.

It was a great experience and my cravings were really satisfied. I am proud to say that I can compare this resto to other DIY Pizza parlor and we plan to visit them again to try their pastas. I hope I can name the pizza I will make next time!

BTW, she's my mallow buddy for the day. One of my best buds, Ijah ♥
