What do Expats in the Philippines think of Greenwich Pizza

one were to my liking.  Including Pizza Hut, (

I once went to Pizza Hut with another foreigner (and our ladies) and he chose the cheap pizza at Pizza Hut.  I told him "You ain't gonna like that John.  The only thing they make good here is the stuffed crust pizza with a full load of toppings and it ain't the cheap one."

He didn't like his.  I like mine.

something that is very subjective.

Just as you said above.  I am just as sure there are many who would not like Papa Johns.  I could tell many stories from the different Pizza Huts we tried the first year we moved here before we gave up.  But the killer for me is the lack of pizza sauce even when asking for extra and willing to pay.  Not to mention the last pepperoni pizza from PH, carry out,  with no pepperoni.  So I walked it back in to return and watched as a guy in the back opened the box and placed a few pepperoni and then used a hair dryer to try to warm the pepperoni.  I said thank you and left without the pizza and never returned.

So what!  That is not how they make it all the time?

Well, I suppose you are right.  Plus I do need to give them credit for taking the hairbrush off the dryer before blowing it across the pizza.

I have only had one Greenwich pizza and it really was not very good. I prefer Yellow Cab and it is available in almost as many places

To be fair, you're comparing a premium pizza joint with an economy one. I go to Greenwich very occasionally and it never disappoints - totally average!

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. 

I needed to visit the RAO in Angeles City years ago. My GF and I decided to eat at a pizza place on Fields Ave. It was run by an American guy. We still talk about how good it was but I can't remember the name of the place. Maybe we were just super hungry but dang it was good.

Yellow Cab pizza is one of the worst ones I've tried. Shakeys is the best option here!
