PIZZA places are undeniably ubiquitous nowadays. Maybe that¡¯s a good thing, as it has led some to rethink how Cebuanos eat their pizza. Here are two pizza joints with concepts that go outside the pizza box.
Brian Espina, owner and product developer of Brasco¡¯s Pizza, kept a four-year affair with pizza. He spent that long tweaking their recipe for pizza dough.
Flip their pizza slice over and you¡¯ll see Brian¡¯s handiwork: golden brown spots that give thin-crust pizzas that crunch, whatever the flavor.
Let¡¯s go to our second slice, so to say. For Mamma Maria, size does matter. After all, the star of their pizza line-up is their 63-inch pizza.
However, the said pizza is only available in Bacolod. The largest available in Cebu is the 30-inch pizza, which has 24-30 slices good for 12-14 people.
Opened in 2005, the Mamma Maria trademark is owned by Swedish Tommy Brazy. The pizza parlor was named after his Filipina wife, Maria.
Largest pizza in the world?Well, not exactly. But Mama Maria¡¯s Pizza does in fact serve the biggest round commercial Pizza in the world at 52 inches. It¡¯s humongous and monstrous. I doubt if anyone can finish eating the whole pizza alone. This authentic Italian Pizza restaurant started out in Bacolod City and was an immediate success.
Mama Maria¡¯s was the original and biggest Pizza here in the Philippines, serving commercial pizzas at 30 inches. Also, they have new Pizza flavors for the thousand pizza patriots that love pizza. They are now serving Crocodile Meat and Fish Kinilaw Pizzas. Wow. I¡¯d love to try that!
