PIZZA REPUBLIC in Cebu

What is new and hot in Cebu? People are crazy about this for the past months. I was asked many times about this place and I was clueless by then. The last time I saw the place was renovated/constructed and the next thing I know it was the talk of the town already. It is called PIZZA REPUBLIC Pic + Mix by Giuseppe Genco. Located at Salinas drive, Lahug, beside the newly opened Island Souvenirs, just right across Mang Inasal.

They are open from 11am. We went there 11am and here's the long line of customers when we arrived.

Look what the camera addicts found while falling in line, a corner where customers can take pictures of themselves. So, we tried it and took 3 or 4 photos.hahaha!

Here's another groupie at the place while waiting for our turn to be entertained.

Everything starts here at the assembly area.

The mixing and forming of dough.

Next stop you "Pic" the ingredients and "Mix".

Putting of sauce and you choose the cheese you like, you can put all if you want.

Our group had a hard time deciding which ingredients to pic and mix so we ordered all 10 types of pizza they have on their list. woot..woot..!

With choosing all flavors, we just ask if we wanted to ask something and watch them prepare it.

My new favorite Calzone being uniquely prepared with tomato, mozzarella cheese, ham, bell pepper and eggplant.

The numbers, given to the customers and being put on pizzas to be cooked to make sure it won't mixed up.

They are using "pugon" (furnace) in cooking the pizza, and that's the unique thing about it compared to other commercial pizzas.

Where you can pick up your drinks.

Groupie again while waiting for our number to be called. The looks of a  hungry and excited group. 

Finally our pizzas are ready. BB girls with our one and only Jhon.

Food porn attempt!

QUATTRO FORMAGGI or Four Cheese Pizza

There you go, parade of pizzas.

The calzone!

The ritual, leaving a mark :)

Trying hard to post and insert my post it on one corner of the resto where some other customers posted their own too.

PR's comfort room. It's clean but boys and girls are sharing so we have to wait.

Another blogger ritual, playing and taking pictures on mirrors, this time with Teache, Hazel (my katokayo) and Bham.

The late comer, baby boy Carl. A perfect model of Pizza Republic, what do you think?

Another groupie this time with Carl.

It was nice and another treasurable moment with the BB girls. Miss Blue the thrifty wanderer now cafe and resto hopper was at Pizza Republic!!!

Cafe CAW!

Just last week we visited another cafe in Lahug at SSY Center, named Cafe Caw. I asked one of the employees about the name of the cafe (I was curious) but I was not able to understand his explanation so never mind. The place is not that catchy outside but I saw the colorful cages in the glass wall on the second floor so, we gave it a try.

 I like the artwork on glass but I think there's something missing on it, to give the place more life. Or maybe it was just a gloomy morning when we went there, that's why I was not hooked of the place's ambiance.

 Their pastries...Their displayed pastries were not mouth watering either. So we looked for something special.

 I love this message on the stairs.

 My favorite corners of the cafe. Hmmm...after hopping from one cafe to another, I can say they have similarities when it comes to their interior design.

 And those are the cages that caught my attention from the outside :)

 Our orders! Quite similar to what we ordered from the last cafe we visited.hahaha! They should've displayed their rainbow cake to attract their customers. I  like their kitkat shake something (gosh! what kind of blogger I am, I forgot the name...Sorry..).

 It was early in the morning when we visited the place, there were no customers yet aside from us. We were able to play around. We enjoyed the mirrors with different colors, shapes and sizes hung on the wall.

 Their single couches were cute too, it made me feel like a queen.

 

We lingered at Cafe Caw for more than 2 hours again!hahaha!

 I did not forget to leave a mark of course. So again, Miss Blue the Thrifty Wanderer now a cafe hopper visited Cafe Caw!!!
