Papa John's

There's a new Pizza place in town :) I was able to visit Robinsons Galleria recently, after the longest time, and their new Veranda wing is now lined with about 10 interesting restos, including Johnny Rockets, La Creperie, etcetera. Been hearing a bit about the new pizza place, Papa John's and decided to try it out.

Papa John's boasts of the use of better ingredients, which in turn helps them craft better tasting pizzas. The menu was actually outlined with the different elements which make up a great pizza. Interesting :) The resto interior was simple, but well-lit, and the commitment to better ingredients is even placed on the resto walls. It wasn't a big resto and we see a couple of people waiting for seats the whole time we were having dinner. However, service was quick and waiting time was not much of a problem.

We tried the Vegetable Caesar Salad, Baked Italian Meatballs, and a 9" Super Papa's Pizza. The Salad was nothing special, tasted like a normal veggie salad with Caesar dressing. Baked Italian Meatballs was very flavorful, but the serving was a bit small (Jollibee's meatballs are even bigger!).

Now, on to the pizza. Pizza is served in 9, 12, and 14" sizes, with a choice of pan or thin crust (thin only for medium and large sizes). They have a choice of Dipping Sauces (Pizza, Garlic, BBQ, Ranch, and Honey Mustard) and their version of 'hot sauce' would be actual chili. Interestingly, the chili is not too hot and really goes well with the pizza :) We ordered the best-seller Papa John's, a combination of pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and olives.

Admittedly, Papa John's freshness can really be tasted. One can sense the fresh ingredients used and that's actually what makes it a great pizza. Kinda hard to explain, but there is a different texture and crunch created by the fresh ingredients. Definitely one good pizza, which turned around our Papa John's experience.

Only way you can find out... go there and grab a bite! :)
