we search for that empty parking space, that would lead us to that door with an “open” sign, that would lead us to those smiling people, that would lead us to that table for two, that would lead us to that food, that would lead us home.

An Uphill Pizza Climb




Being huge fans of the pizza, buffalo chicken wings and onion rings as separate food entities, J and I were curious and eager to find out how the fusion of these 3 would end up tasting. So after seeing the Greenwich Overloaded Pizza commercial, we decided to tread on to the first Greenwich we saw (ok, no we didn’t, we ended up at a Trinoma branch which was about 8 MRT stops away from our area) to order that mountainous looking thing.

I don’t eat pork and beef so naturally we ordered the Buffalo Chicken and Onion Rings combo. (For meat lovers out there, the other combo-topping option is the Meatball and Fries). Since there were only 2 of us, we agreed the Double-sized pizza would suffice.  For a reasonably priced 269.00 (thin crust, the thicker pan pizza crust is a few pesos more), it certainly wasn’t bad at all.
J’s first bite off the pizza was 8 seconds away from mine, and his initial reaction was “ohmygod ang sarap ha!” I wasn’t quite sure if he was just being dramatically sarcastic, as he sometimes (or often) is, or genuinely pleased. So I hurriedly took a bite to satiate both my appetite and my curiosity.

Mmmm…not bad at all!

The buffalo-flavored chicken tenders atop the pizza reminded me of spicy Cheetos, minus the crunch. Some bleu-cheese dressing (or something that resembled it, at least) laced the middle part of the whole ensemble, adding a nice flavor. The onion rings were sized a bit smaller than preferred, but hey this is Greenwich, not TGI Friday’s. The cheese pizza underneath those awkwardly placed toppings was a nice balance to the slightly spicy, slightly tangy buffalo-flavored tenders and the crunchy onion rings.

Because we were both craving it, J and I complemented this meal with some Chowking black gulaman. And since it is more of a dessert than a thirst-quencher, we ended up getting another serving of beverages. Mineral water for me and a fruit shake for J. (Trust me guys, after this busog talaga kayo.)
