Had one of their lasagne last week , it was shite. Had bits of hard fat that was supposed to be beef.  I won't be going in one of those places again.

Yeah it's shite but decent for the Philippines, I've adjusted my standards since being here

Their cheese taste like bubble gum. I prefer mozzarella on my pizza. Once was enough for me and I never went back.

Greasy bread with ketchup is how I would describe Greenwich's pizza.  Of course, that's just my opinion based on only 2 or 3 experiences. But, for me, that's more than enough.

It's even shite for the Philippines, had much better Lasagne in other places. I've also adjusted  my standards since being here, but everyone to their own taste eh.

Is Greenwich the reason my favorite Pizza Hut closed?  We were the only customers, but man the service was great and the pizza dee-lish.  Have seen Greenwich in the mall, but after the disappointing S&R pizza, figured I would just pass.

I've eaten Greenwich but I think that the local Yellow Cab pizza is nicer, not great but it's ok.

Agreed.  The local Yellow Cab pizza is fine "for a Filipino pizza".  But all the local pizzas use local ingredients that would never touch my lips if they were not on a pizza.

There is something wrong with the Greenwich pizza that causes me and about 1/4 or more of all expats to just despise it (numbers from poll above).  Almost no foreigner loves Greenwich pizza and yet so many Filipinos go in there all the time that they have over 400 outlets nationwide.  Strange.

I agree with you Dave it’s simply not to my taste whatsoever. Awful recipe awful ingredients.

It’s specifically for the Filipino market. I suppose an Italian may think the same about typical American or Canadian consumer pizza.

Thankfully there are a few wonderful pizza restaurants in Philippines. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten was on Bantayan Island in a German owned restobar.

After reading the comments and seeing the poll numbers . . . I think I will not try eating there.  I wonder if their idea of pizza is similar to what Filipinos want in their spaghetti sauce which is WAY too sweet for my taste.  They must be doing something right if they have that many outlets.

It's because there is a lot of sugar in the crust... Filipinos love sweet and sugar... sorry for sounding discriminating, but even L agrees with me although she is not such a fan of sweet...

We found Shakey's and S & R do not seem to have such a sweet pizza...
