Papa John's Pizza ( SM North EDSA )

Being a pizza lover, we usually go to pizza parlors and Papa John's is definitely on my list. We went to one of their branches at the Upper Ground Floor, SM North EDSA Main Building. It seems the words posted on their wall are true, "better pizza, better ingredients" because they surely make one of the best pizzas out there.

The Diablo Burst lets you have a choice between spaghetti or penne. It comes with Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, garlic and crushed red peppers topped with grated parmesan cheese. It tastes good but nothing new or special if you often eat pasta. It's enough to alleviate your hunger even though it comes in small servings though.

Pasta is always best eaten with bread, and their Herbed Parmesan Breadsticks will complete the pair. It's a bread stick that is drizzled with their garlic dipping sauce and some spices.

Since we have a big appetite that night, we also tried their Beef and Bacon Baked Rice. It's a garlic pepper rice baked with a combination of ground beef, onions, green peppers, bacon bits and is topped with mozzarella cheese and bolognaise sauce. Unlike baked rice dishes that are being served in other restaurants or fast food chains, that only has a few meats in it, this one comes with a lot of beef and big bacon bits. Also, the beef is not rubbery and it tastes good. 

Since Papa John's is known for their great tasting pizzas, we would not let our dinner here pass without having a pizza. We had one of their signature pizzas, the Super Papa's. It's topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms,  onions, green peppers and black olives. I must say that the "better fresh dough" that is posted on their wall is true because even the crust tastes good to me.This is definitely a must try.

If you are going to eat, then you definitely will also need to drink. The Passion Fruit Italian Soda will quench your thirst and is a good company with your food. It's basically a Sprite mixed with passion fruit flavor and is served with a cherry and a slice of lemon. 

The overall dining experience here is always good and worth it. The place has a cozy ambiance and they have good mannered and professional staff here. And of course they serve good food.
