Brasco Pizza and Pasta Place

I haven't been to a pizza place in a while so I've decided to look up some old pictures on my hard drive and sure enough, there were pizza stuff on it.

Located in The Gallery along Juan Luna Avenue in Cebu City, Brasco Pizza and Pasta opened its very first branch, hoping to attract the growing pizza lovers crowd.  Although some may say that the place is not too suitable for those who have really tight budgets, but I would say that a closed space, a well-leveled table and chairs are good enough a place to eat at. Anyway I got to try the Marinara pizza, which is a winner in my opinion. Seafood pizza can make my day anytime.

Mamma Maria!

On June 12, 2009, the Cebu Bloggers Society got invited to the Grand Opening of the newest pizzeria in town, Mamma Maria's Pizzeria. Mamma Maria's is not fairly new to the Philippines, those who have gone to Bacolod City have already tasted its pizzas, so when I mentioned that I was at the Opening, one of my co-workers who actually came from Bacolod, thought I was kidding. He said that Mamma Maria's is one of the places that he missed about Bacolod, and he started talking about the boat-shaped "empanada", as he described it. LOL

Anyway, the hostess, Jay Montelibano, as I recall, was very nice. She invited us through McBilly of McBilly.com. The blessing was scheduled at 5PM, but since I kinda got lost and I had to text message McBilly about the actual location of the pizzeria, I got there at approximately 5:30-ish. I didn't miss the entire event though. I even got to see the mayor cut the ribbon. I was kinda getting worried about the CBS peeps since the ONLY familiar blogger I saw around was McBilly and the early birds were newbies in the CBS.
