All About “Chalog” Friendships with Greenwich’s #BarkadaBoxAwards

Posted by Ria Hazel on 9:49 AM in Barkada Box, Enrique Gil, foodie, Greenwich, Greenwich Barkada, Greenwich Pizza, limited edition, Pasta, Pizza, Yassi Pressman, yummy,

Greenwich, the number one pizza and pasta brand in the Philippines, celebrated Friendship Month with Barkada Box Awards last August. The Barkada Box Awards is Greenwich’s pioneering and chalog (charming plus kalog) way of appreciating our friends through creatively designed limited time offer pizza boxes that is meant to be entertainingly awarded to each of our barkada. 

In a recent culmination activity dubbed as “Barkada Box Awards Grand Hangout,” kabarkadas from all ages converged at the Market! Market! Activity Center to be thankful for new and old friendships by way of entertaining photo booths, free-flowing pizza slices and a chance to bond with Greenwich kabarkadas Enrique Gil and Yassi Pressman. 

Greenwich came up with four witty personalities that became the inspiration of the Barkada Box Awards. Which award would you give to your barkada? 

Beshie ng Bayan Award 

Para sa barkadang friend ng bayan, ang galing mag-small talk kahit saan… 

Hi doon, hello dito… grabe, kulang na lang kaibiganin ang multo… 

Ang galing mong promotor, kahit sa pizza, ikaw ang donor! 

Marupok Award 

Para sa kabarkadang ‘di makatanggi kay ex, isang tawag lang o text… 

Madalas kay boss puro ‘yes’, o sa mall sale, always nakapila siya, bes… 

Madaling mag-give in! Kung maka-order ng pizza, talagang ‘di nabibitin! 

Barkada Cutie 

Para sa barkadang habulin ng manliligaw, atensyon ng madla, talagang naaagaw! 

Pambahay man ang suot sa litrato, standout talaga ang ganda’t pagkaguwapo… 

Charming kahit sa kainan, kaya naman ang last piece ng pizza, sa kanya naiiwan! 

That’s My Tita Award 

Para sa kabarkadang OA sa herbal supplement, at nangangamoy menthol ointment… 

Papunta pa lang sa gimik, parang sa pag-uwi siya ay mas sabik… 

Oh tita, sige na, order na ng pizza para sa barkada! 

Hurry! Head on to any of your favorite Greenwich stores nationwide or visit greenwichdelivery.com to get your limited edition #BarkadaBoxAwards, available in any double size of Greenwich’s mouthwatering pizza variants of your choice!

Get Your Korean Foodie Fix at Snowbing

Anyone I know can attest how much of a Korean fan I am. And most of the time, I keep on looking for Korean food because I keep on missing how good they taste. From their bibimbap to the gimbap, street food and most of all, their desserts! And I love how easy they are to reach now here in Manila. For my BINGSU cravings, Snowbing is my first choice.

Greenwich Pizzeria Opens with a New Spin

Greenwich Pizzeria Opens with a New Spin

Whenever I’m with friends or family, Greenwich Pizza is the way to go because of their Pizza Feasts and barkada treats. Recently, they launched their newest concept store, the Greenwich Pizzeria, where you can also enjoy their popular Hawaiian Overload Pizza, Lasagna Supreme and more.

As they open the Greenwich Pizzeria, you can't help but feel nostalgic because it reminds you of home. It now looks like a place where you can bond with your closest friends and loved ones. See the "new and refreshing" look of the Greenwich Pizzeria, where first opened at the SM City North EDSA:

Pretty neat, isn't it? I bet you would want to see and feel this new minimalist look too. Its interior has that familiar and homey feel using the wood and brick elements, as if you are travelling in a warp space into an authentic pizzeria. 

They now have a lounge, main dining area, a balcony, a banquet and even an enclosed dining space for private meetings or parties. The seating also varies from couches, booths, long tables, bar stools and even queen sized sofas for that ultimate pizzeria experience. It is colorful and lively, I would want to bring the boyfriend there, because I'm sure that he'll enjoy sitting at a courtside-like booth. 

Aside from our favorite pizzas (Mine is Ham and Cheese or Hawaiian Overload, I love ordering the Lasagna Supreme, that completed with the creaminess of white sauce, the chunkiness of red sauce, all while mixing with the cheesy taste, sweet sour blend of sauces, spiciness and meatiness. It is so sumptuous, my friends and I can finish it within a few minutes. 

Visit this young, mid-century industrial Greenwich Pizzeria now and love the place, the food and ambiance. Everything is absolutely here! While at it, you might even bring your uno cards or pictionary tools and have fun with your best buddies. The possibilities are endless and I love it!

Have you ever wondered what happens before you eat your favorite pizza? Recently, I have learned that it takes a lot of steps to ensure that the dough is fresh before serving the toppings. And Pizza Hut does it best with their world-famous pizza. What sets them apart is that they make their dough fresh daily, while using quality imported flour from the finest wheat plantations from around the world. And with the skillful hands of their dough master, it is only fitting that they highlight the artists behind their pizzas by holding its first National Dough Masters Challenge.

Papa John's Pizza Introduces New Pizza Flavors and Kiddie Party Packages

My love for pizza and pasta has overcome lengths and spaces. If I wasn't born a Filipino, I think I would've been an Italian because I am raving about their dishes. Though in the States, a friend always talk about how she loves Papa John's because of their pizza. I have tried dining at their SM City North EDSA branch before and I absolutely loved  the Texas Heat, even if I'm not fond of spicy things. That's why when I learned that Papa John's are introducing their new flavors, I just had to try them ASAP.

When we were invited at the Gastro Chef event, we weren't so sure where Chef Gusto's Pizza, Pasta, Plus is located so we had to walk using the iPad's map. Good thing it was just located at the corner of Salcedo and Benavidez Street, so we didn't have a hard time finding this quaint yet special place. I fell in love with its intimate interiors but most especially, I was more enthralled by the food that was served to us that night.
