My Idea of a Perfect Pizza Crust

I no longer have to settle for either barely-there-thin crust or boring old thick crust pizza. Gino's Brick Oven Pizza crust is exactly what I've been longing for. 

Gino's Brick Oven Pizza came as a surprise to me when I made my way to Cello's Doughnuts & Dips for letter doughnuts on Valentine's Day.

Still fresh with the quiet smell of newly painted crimson walls alongside the powerful, mouth watering smell of straight-from-the-oven pizza, this unassuming new pizza place captured my attention quite instantly. In the days that followed, my friends fell prey to the hypnotizing smell of Gino's brick oven pizzas that they couldn't stop raving about them. Now this humble restaurant has my full attention. I yielded to my craving and quickly arranged a meeting here as a valid excuse to try their pizza. 

Bianca Verde (Php315)

My friend, Alwin, and I shared a 12 inch Bianca Verde pizza, a pie graciously adorned by melted kesong puti, parmesan and ricotta cheese and peppered with the freshest, homegrown arugula and basil leaves. They grow their own Arugula, what could be better than that? Well, it turns out their pizza crust is even greater news! Thin, chewy yet titillatingly crispy - ah yes, just the way I like it. I could imagine myself nibbling away on their pizza crust the whole day without ever tiring! Truly, their heavenly slice of pizza has reconnected me to the intimate art of eating. 

with the owner, Jutes

I fell in love with their pizza that I just had to meet the owner behind Gino's Brick Oven Pizza, Jutes, the husband of Cello of Cello's Doughnuts. They named the restaurant after their baby, Gino, since their pizzas are also made with a lot of love. I definitely felt the love that went into my pizza!

Though Gino's Brick Oven Pizza stands along the same stretch as pizza giants such as Yellow Cab, Sicilian Express, Greenwich, Shakey's and Pizza Hut, I would choose their pizza in a heartbeat. With that perfect pizza crust, how can I go back to other pizza giants?
