Cebu can be considered as a melting pot of different cultures. This resulted in the entry of various cuisines catering to different tastes of the residents of the city. While Spanish and Chinese cuisines have dominated the food landscape of Cebu, there are a number of other dishes that have established themselves on the island. One of these dishes is the pizza. The Queen City of the South has a number of restaurants where you can have a slice or two of pizza. Even as many of these places are mere branches of multinational companies, Cebu also boasts of a number of homegrown pizza places that have made a name for themselves in the food landscape of Cebu. The following are some places where you can have a slice or two of pizza in the Queen City of the South. Handuraw Pizza Handuraw Pizza is one of the homegrown pizza places in Cebu. It started off as the Handuraw Events Café where up-and-coming local acts can jam and have some fun. The place later developed its own line of thin crust pizzas. An old house along Gorordo Avenue was later converted into a restaurant, and Handuraw Pizza was born. While the branch in Gorordo Avenue was closed, they still have other branches in JY Square Discovery Mall, Canduman and the North Park in Mandaue, White Gold, and Mango Square. Prices of the pizza at Handuraw Pizza are between PHP218 for the solo size of the Handuraw Special and PHP398 for the Chicken Adobo Premium Pinoy Pizza. Da Vinci’s Pizza Another Cebuano pizza place, Da Vinci’s Pizza has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2002. It is known mainly for their white sauce pizza, which is a departure from the usual tomato sauce for this Italian dish. The name of the place was inspired by one of the characters of the cartoon show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The restaurant currently has several branches in Cebu, including Osmena Boulevard, Parkmall, Cebu IT Park, and Mactan Marina Mall, among others. The pizzas of Da Vinci’s Pizza are priced at PHP108 for the nine-inch Classic Cheese thin crust pizza up to PHP468 for the 16-inch Roast Beef pizza gusto. JCA Pizza Longtime residents of Cebu are very familiar with JCA Pizza. It was one of the hole-in-the-wall places where you can find great-tasting pizza at a reasonable price. Even with the presence of big-name pizza places in Cebu, JCA Pizza was able to create a niche for itself in the competitive restaurant industry of Cebu. Many of their customers were students looking for a place offering affordable yet delicious pizza. Aside from its branch along Salinas Drive, JCA Pizza also has branches along Gorordo Avenue, in Talisay City, and Mandaue City. Prices of the pizza at JCA Pizza are between PHP105 for the Mini Magic and PHP260 for the Mignon. Alberto’s Pizza Similar to many homegrown restaurants in Cebu, Alberto’s Pizza was established by a group of friends looking to augment their income by establishing their own business. From simply delivering their pizza to their customers, Alberto’s Pizza already has numerous branches all over metro Cebu. The first branch opened in Mabolo, which was followed by different branches in a number of cities and towns in Cebu. The pizzas offered by Alberto’s Pizza are priced at PHP90 for the nine-inch Chizzo Trio up to PHP250 for the 11-inch Alberto’s Full House pizza. Albur’s Pizza + Burger + Grill If you are looking for an oasis in the middle of the city, you may want to visit Albur’s Pizza + Burger + Grill. Located within a residential area in Mabolo, this relatively-new restaurant offers affordable yet delicious pizza, among others. The al fresco setting of the place sets it apart from a typical restaurant setup. The prices of the pizza at Albur’s Pizza + Burger + Grill are between PHP270 for the Sofia and PHP295 for the Berto’s All Meat Pizza.
