It was a hot afternoon today as we left the pedia’s clinic to go back home. I began to feel a craving that I could not pin down. I thought of going to Greenwich to buy a pizza for merienda. It wasn’t a result of my craving but more related to the fact that we will be passing one on the way home. I told my husband to get the Greenwich special which I knew had everything on it. I also told him to get the family size in case we wanted the leftovers for our midnight snack.

We arrived home and I didn’t really dive into the pizza immediately – I wasn’t expecting much from Greenwich (sorry just being honest). I opened the box to get a slice after about 30 minutes later. If you must know, my husband, upon arriving home went straight to his computer and actually forgot that we had the pizza. Anyway going back to my first slice of the Greenwich special…. At first glance, I was a bit disappointed. I don’t recall the pizza being that thin and that small (for a family size)… or maybe I’m just used to those big slices New York style – that are so much more popular nowadays. I took a bite and turned into a hungry lunatic. I don’t recall Greenwich special ever tasting like this. The crust was crispy thin. The mélange of toppings was perfect. The only comment I had was that they said the family size was enough for 4-6 people. Uhh duh…. If my husband were not at home I could have finished the whole box myself! But alas, he was home and to top it off, he even had more slices than I did! $#*&^$#… haha – that being said – kudos to Greenwich for making it big and managing to hold its own for more than 3 years in a marketplace where there’s lots of stiff and tastier competition.

Good thing their hotline is now easier to remember: 5-55-55… Call now!

I wonder how the salted egg and sisig pizza tastes??… Hmm…but that’s another post.

Apples and I had the misfortune to go and eat at Spagetti Factory for lunch today… you know how i am when it comes to pasta in general and spaghetti in particular… but when it comes to Spaghetti Factory, i am ready to forego eating spaghetti if they’re the last spaghetti restaurant in the world…

Anyway, we arrived there at 12:30, sat down, and ordered… for me, i always try new dishes [as long as they are tomate-based... no white sauces for me...] so i ordered Spicy Meatsauce (P159.00)… that is Bolognese with — supposed to be — a little spice… for Apples, ever the white-sauce lady, it was the Norway’s Pride (P159.00) [dunno what that is]… for appetizer, we ordered Italian Herb Toast…

Our waiter kept coming back to our table telling us that our food is already on its way… he kept doing that for about 3 or 4 times until i finally called his attention to that fact that our table has no food on it yet, while about 3 tables surrounding us already had theirs when they came after us…

At about 1:10, my food finally arrived… looking at it, looks appealing, but this is one instance where looks can really be deceiving… since the menu said that this was spicy, i expected it to be at least moderately hot… also, the meatsauce looks very good and so [after i took a picture of it, of course] i started dig in, and boy, was i dismayed with it… instead of being spicy, the taste was more peppery because of the green and red bell peppers in the sauce… nothing really hot about it, though…

The price of P159 is not worth to pay for this kind of crap they pass off as Spicy Meatsauce… our yaya at home cooks better… there are other options, but this store is not one of ‘em… the service sucks, and the food does not fare better… you’d be better off eating somplace else than here…

Ciao, sweetie…
