So it’s a market. In the Philippines. Thus, it’s scorching hot, the floors are muddy, the narrow aisles are teeming with a sea of humanity, and there are stalls and stalls of fresh produce, food, dry goods, kitchenware, garments and other little tidbits of things to buy.

Not so long ago, the only pizza restaurants here in Cebu are the familiar and somewhat expensive international brands like Pizza Hut & Shakeys, and of course the unforgettable Mom’s Pizza (or Yummy’s).

But now there are a lot of pizza places in Cebu that have found their own niche by offering something different yet attractive to the discriminating taste of the Cebuanos.

It is like one big pizza revolution out here in Cebu but I am not complaining because now we get to enjoy good quality and innovative pizzas within our budget.

In the coming weeks, DiningCebu.com will review some of the fast-growing and much raved about pizza restaurants here in Cebu. From the famous Alberto’s and their very affordable pizzas, the gigantic 30″ pizzas from Calda Pizza, and other pizza places like Handuraw, Da Vinci’s, Amicos, Jersey’s, JCA, and much much more.

So far the Pakalistas of DiningCebu.com have reviewed the following:

Da Vinci’s Pizza
Alberto’s Pizza
Handuraw Pizza

A lot of my friends have been telling me about Alberto’s Pizza.

Pakalista Jon was raving mad about Alberto’s Garden Special Pizza for its very affordable (9″ Php 72.00) yet decent tasting pizza.

Hungry after a night out, it was about time to pay Alberto a visit and try their pizzas. Read DiningCebu.com’s review of Alberto’s Pizza here: Breaking the Dawn with Alberto’s Pizza
