Calda Pizza Surprise

Last week, my officemates decided to have pizza as the merienda (snack) for the afternoon. So, they went cubicle to cubicle asking for contributions for the pizza. Like the usual, the pizza delivery man was late. We are waiting for the pizza for more than an hour and many of my officemates are pissed off because it is almost time to go home. An officemate even planned to berate the pizza delivery guy. All the rantings and shouting did not pushed through when they saw the pizza delivery guy. The anger was replaced with laughter when we saw the delivery guy having a hard time carrying a HUGE box of pizza, as if he was Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders.

Oh yes. That pizza is huge and that pizza is "Calda Pizza."

Calda Pizza is a popular pizza joint in Cebu. Now, Calda Pizza is invading the other parts of the Philippines as well. What made this pizza joint popular is its giant pizza. I believe that only Calda Pizza gives delivery men a hard time in carrying pizza and this is what gives Calda Pizza the WOW factor.

My officemates ordered the a thin crust Calda Pizza, with a diameter of 36 inches. The pizza costs 1,290 pesos.

My Verdict for Calda Pizza

Calda Pizza is really huge, and that's it. There is no other factor that makes Calda Pizza special other than its size. Frankly, pizza from the mainstream pizza joints tastes better than Calda Pizza. I also found their pizza's crust a little dry, which made it hard for me to swallow it. I almost choke because of the dryness.

Calda Pizza is not that bad but I think that the owner of this pizza brand should focus on making Calda Pizza stand out in terms of taste. Having a huge size is interesting but when it comes to food, taste is the factor that makes customers come back and order more.

Buns and Pizza

Watching the parade and walking around Lucban to see the decorated house of the Pahiyas Festival proved to be an exhausting activity that emptied mine and my friends’ bellies. Luckily, we had found a small pizza shop that offers affordable pizza.

This pizza shop is the Buns and Pizza and I only first saw it in Lucban. I believe that that this pizza shop can only be found in Lucban. Nothing is amazing about this pizza shop as compared with giant pizza companies like Shakey’s and Pizza Hut. However, if you are in Lucban and you are craving for a good pizza, then this is the place to go.

 Buns and Pizza, Lucban

My friends ordered the Beef Galore and the Beef and Onion Special. The pizza bread is ready and they will only prepare the toppings of the pizza before baking in their oven. It would take about 15 minutes waiting time before your pizza be delivered to your table.

Preparing the pizza.

One thing I noticed about their pizza is its sweetness. It is sweeter than the usual pizza that I eat from Shakey’s and Pizza Hut. I believe that they made the sauce for their pizza in Filipino style. Filipino style sauce is sweeter and less sour compared with other spaghetti or pizza sauce.

 .

The Pizza is almost done.

All in all, we spent 295 pesos for two pizzas. The Beefy Galore (large size) is 155 pesos and the Beef and Onion Special (large size) is 140 pesos. I guess the price is ok since we were satisfied with their pizza.

We also ate at the famous Buddy’s Restaurant before we leave Lucban. However, I am too busy eating their yummy food that’s why I forgot to take pictures and take note of their foods. Maybe this will be another topic I will write about if I ever visited Lucban again.

Let Them Have More Pizza

I dreaded special days since the day I started working. I do not mean the holidays like Christmas and New Year, which are also special days. What I mean is the special days which are called as birthdays, promotions, and other events that entail me to treat my officemates for some blow-out. I dreaded those special days not because I am stingy but rather I fear that they will not be pleased with my blow-out.

Last week, I was promoted from probationary to a full officer. Thus, I would have to treat my officemates. Since we are satiated with the pancit canton and other pancits from Savory, I have decided to get some pizza for my blow-out. Shakey's Pizzanatic Card came in handy. :-)

For pizza addicts like me, Discount cards like the ones offered by Shakey's is a must. Because of my Shakey's Pizzanatic Card, I am able to buy lots of pizza so as to please my hungry officemates. I have used it in my previous work in a bank and now I used it in my current office. I am able to let them have more pizza without spending too much money.

The Pizzanatic Card can be bought from any branch of Shakey's for 199 pesos. Just ask any crew of the restaurant and they will give you a form fill out when you are getting your card. A Pizzanatic Card lasts for six months and can only be used for pizza deliveries of up to three purchased pizza. The promo for this card is buy one pizza and take one pizza for free. You can choose any pizza that you want and Shakey's will give you either pepperoni or Hawaiian pizza as freebie.

Imagine how much money you can save if you have this card. If you order a large prize pizza, you will get another large size pizza (pepperoni or Hawaiian) that cost for 303 pesos. Order three of large sized pizza and you will feel how much money you had saved.

So for pizza lovers out there, or for those who are in pinch for a blow-out in the office, I enjoin you to avail Shakey's Pizzanatic Card. It will save you money while eating your favorite delicious pizza.

For those who are not fan of Shakey's, Pizza Hut also offers their discount card. The card entitles the buyer to get one pizza for every pizza ordered for delivery or take - out. Pizza Hut's card expires after a year, which means that it last longer than Shakey's Pizzanatic Card.
