A CAB TO FILL YOUR TUMMY

When a person mentions the phrase "yellow taxi cab" you can immediately deduce that that person means the yellow car that says taxi overhead and takes people to places they want to go to. But who would have thought that a yellow cab can fill your tummy?
As a bonafide pizza lover, I got tired of the usual pizzas available to me. If I craved for pizza I would have to make do with Pizza Hut, Shakeys, Dominoes or Greenwich. That was until one day I saw a sight that not only made my tummy rumble but also made my mouth drool. It was a big yellow and black sign that said “YELLOW CAB PIZZA CO”.
I was so excited by what I saw. This could be the answer to my pizza prayers!
Yellow Cab Pizza Co. originated from none other than the Big Apple itself, New York City. It is an innovative pizza parlor specializing in New York styled pizzas. Yellow Cab Pizza Co. has stores in key metropolitan areas namely Baguio, Alabang, MAkati, Mandaluyong and Quezon City.
Ever since Yellow Cab opened its branch here in Alabang I have been ordering pizzas from none other than them. Their pizza’s are tasty and you get value for your money. Their crust is not that thick and not that thin, the toppings are very much abundant and I must say their serving size is humongous.
Yellow Cab Pizza Co. offers pizza flavors which no other pizza parlor can offer. They have Anchovy Lovers which is a combination of balck olives, anchovies, capers, roasted garlic, mushrooms and onions, Tribeca Mushroom, Corona Chicken Salsa and my personal favorite Roasted Garlic and Shrimp. They also have the NY classic which is basically Pepperoni and cheese, Manhattan Meatlovers, Hawaiian and NY Finest which features all toppings just like a Super Supreme Pizza in Pizza Hut! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! Yellow Cab pizzas come in 3 sizes. The 10 inch pizza which is good for about 3-4 people, the 14 inch pizza which is equivalent to the family size of most pizza parlors and their biggest pizza the 18 inch pizza which is good for 6-8 people depending on their appetites.
Yellow Cab doesn’t only make great pizzas but they also serve delectable chicken wings and to die for pasta! I personally love the Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta which is a combination of chicken strips, shitake mushrooms and roasted peanuts sautéed in a spicy oriental sauce.
Yellow Cab prides itself in as a quick and casual restaurant whose primary aim is to give value to its customers. Delivery is more of an integral part of their concept of dining and not as an add-on service. For those who prefer to enjoy their food in-store, Yellow Cab does have a dining ambience that is fun but uncluttered. Their open kitchen, the retro-industrial look, the decor and the music have an unmistakable New York-lifestyle feel that enhances the experience of enjoying great food. So what are you waiting for? IF you really want great pizza now, call a Cab!
