Pizza in Manila

Ian and I love pizza and have been trying pizza through Manila. Here is our evaluation thus far...

Yellow Cab : A Filipino chain that makes a good pizza. It is not Italian however it tastes like a standard American pizza, if there is such thing. They have sit down and deliver options at most locations. The pizza price is around 500 a pizza, and soda is only sold by the can. If you sit down, your pizza will be out reasonably fast and while you wait they have magazines and newspapers to read. If you have delivery, they do sometimes get backed up and it might take a while.

Greenwich : Just crap. The toppings taste strange and un-fresh, the sauce is extra sweet, the cheeses tasted like plastic. The prices are fairly low, 300, and they have fountain soda and juice. The restaurant is very fast food feeling. Also provide delivery as well as sit down

Shakeys : A Filipino chain that is a nice pizza restaurant. The sit down area is very family restaurant feeling. The pizza is a thin crust that costs about the same as Yellow Cab around 500 a pizza. They also offer delivery. Soda is sold by the glass or pitcher, also serving fruit juice and coffee. They make a good root beer float and have a yummy looking sandwich. Good fried chicken too. Service leaves something to be desired.

Pizza Hut : Not as awesome as the US, however they offer a much more classy sit down atmosphere than in the US. The pizza is a bit expensive 600, the taste is the same as in the US. They have fruit drinks, coffee and soda.

Cibo's : Just awesome. Filipino chain started by a Filipina woman who studied in Italy. The pizza serves two people, costs around 400 and is made with just amazing fresh ingredients. Huge beverage selections and a delicious looking non pizza menu. The restaurant itself has the feeling of a nice lunch cafe. They also have great service and are open on Christmas!
