A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to the opening of the latest pizza joint to hit our shores, New York Pizza Palace.

the invite

I accepted right away. I love pizza and although I haven’t been to New York, I’m aware that they’re famous for their pizzas.

I arrived early and I was greeted by the lights and decorations of the place. The stock ticker is pretty cool. The traffic signs common in New York were also represented. Of course, New York wouldn’t be complete without graffiti and there was one artfully done in the rest room. There were also 3 televisions with livefeed from New York streets. Tres cool!

The decor is useless if the food isn’t good. Well, New York Pizza Palace (NYPP) fares are happy in the tummy. I particularly liked their buffalo wings which were sweet and crisp, garlic bread, supli which is a traditional Italian dish which is rich in texture, eggplant ricotta, and their pizzas and pastas of course. I don’t have a copy of their menu but if I remember correctly, NYPP has 11 kinds of pizzas and each slice is huge. Not only that, the price isn’t bad. For a price of P89 you can buy yourself a huge slice of pizza. They have more expensive ones but won’t go over P200 per slice.

I was able to chat up with Mr. Eric Orland, the President and CEO of New York Pizza Palace (NYPP), and he has so many plans for the restaurant. He said that he wants to open at least 65 branches of NYPP in the country. He also plans to expand it to other countries but Philippines will always be his flagship country. I was curious as to why he chose the Philippines instead of Singapore, Hong Kong, or other more progressive countries. He said he believed that Filipinos appreciate good pizzas and it has become a food staple for us. If he had set up in another country, he would have to slowly introduce the food to their culture. Good point, I said.

    • Why I’d like to win: There’s the food! XD GCs for food is always a happy happy thing to have. But before eating their great food, playing frisbee wearing the shirt will be a good way to work the appetite for this XD

    • My hubby, 3 kids and I love to eat and we all love pizza! As a matter of fact, I have a separate folder on our PC of pizza pictures we’ve tried/eaten during our many family-bonding food trips. It would really be a treat if we win all these stuff and get to try New York Pizza Palace.

      I want to win these prizes because I miss New York even if I’ve only been there once. The food, the musicals, Central Park and the people are very hard too miss. I’ve been wanting to go back for the last couple of years and I’ll always consider it as one of my most memorable trips. I want to have a slice of New York in Manila and if I could have it via memorabilia, NY food and a new hangout place then I can be content for now. At least I can have New York in my plate any time I have the NY blues.

    • Why I’d like to win: My friends and I were supposed to join this programming contest where we can be sent to New York if we win the country finals. We wanted to win not only because of the geeky and nerdy prestige but we also wanted to get a taste of real New York food. To cut the story short, we didn’t get to join because when we decided to do it, it was too late. Winning this would mean getting to taste NY pizza and getting to wear those awesome tees while we bust to Empire State of Mind. Yes, we really love New York. :)

      I would like to win this contest because it combines two things that I love: food and NYC. First, I have been a pizza fan for a long time and pizza places like Yellow Cab got me interested in sampling New York-style pizzas with their distinct chewy dough and herby flavors. Second, I am an NYC-lover, having loved everything unique to NYC like Central Park and Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and Broadway and funky flea markets. Ever since I was a kid, I loved reading NYC books like Stuart Little and Cricket at Times Square. In fact, one of my first itineraries once I’ve earned enough money is NYC. Third, my I <3 NY is currently faded, having been worn numerous times and your shirt prize is so desired by me. =) Overall, I wanted to join this contest because winning this prize will give me a taste of NYC without leaving home.
