| Gino's Brick Oven Pizza |
It's my birthday month so I decided to give myself a treat and went here with my boyfriend. I've been recommending this place to him many times already and thankfully we were able to dine together!

I went here around 8 to 9pm and reserved a table for two. They accept reservations and the place can be quite full during peak hours (Dinner or Lunch). The ambiance is really nice. The dark orange walls and yellow bulb lights gave the place a warm feeling - cozy, intimate.

| Smegg P450 |
I really had been craving for the SMEGG which is priced at P450. Being a lover of anything topped with egg is a serious struggle cause I can easily be biased about the taste, cause anything with egg is delicious - for me! There's something about eggs that make pizza look sexier and more appetizing (drools!) Would you agree? I am so happy that it's still good as how it tasted 2 years ago. I keep falling in love with it over and over again! It took me 2 freakin' years to try it again and it didn't disappoint. No wonder it's a no brainer to be on top of their must tries!

| Bomb P405 |
After having a taste of the SMEGG, we just knew we had to order another pizza and picking the next flavor was a struggle! Got curious about this flavor cause when I read other blog posts on Gino's, this was their second best choice. It was okay but the boyfie liked it better than Smegg. The balsamic onion gave it a sweet and sour taste which I didn't enjoy cause I don't like savory and sweet being mixed up but thanks to the blue cheese which made it taste saltier. The umay lessened and made the sweetness more tolerable.

| Salted Egg Pasta P210 |
Another favorite by many the Salted Egg Pasta. Mmm... before Salted Egg Chips became a thing, this has been already a hit so I know I just have to try it! I like how simple and sophisticated it tastes at the same time. The salted egg gave my tongue curiosity because of the unfamiliar taste. At first I am quite adjusting cause and I still can't process how it really taste but 'habang tumatagal, lalong sumasarap'. The bacon bits made the eating more enjoyable and tastier!

| Calamansi Juice P150 Pitcher |
For our beverage, we ordered their Calamansi Juice. Their drinks are quite expensive, I wish I tried pairing the Pizzas with wine but I can't afford them yet. LOL. I love how it tastes natural and real, and didn't taste like those one's in syrup form. The sourness is very light and balanced everything perfectly.

| Gino's Spicy Honey (FREE) |
MUST TRY: GINO'S SPICEY HONEY
This reminds me of fish ball sauce na 'pinasosyal'. It has a thicker and sweeter texture. When I felt the umayness from the smegg, I added this and it tasted BETTER.
Note that one order of Pizza is good for 2 people only but I know I can finish 1 whole of it because it only has 6 slices. Haha!
CRAVING SATISFIED!
