One balmy Saturday afternoon, I joined fellow foodies and pizza enthusiasts from all corners of Manila in Bonifacio Global City for pizza and fun. There, Yellow Cab Pizza Co. hosted the “Best Ever Pizza Party,” a vibrant celebration that unveiled their latest offering: Half Moon Pizzas.

Check out the fun goings-on at this happy shindig!

Here’s a Slice of History

Did you know that pizza came from Naples, Italy, and centuries later became a global favorite? Originating as a simple meal for working-class Neapolitans, pizza has evolved into a symbol of communal dining and culinary diversity.

This phenomenon was celebrated at the “Best Ever Pizza Party.” Yellow Cab recognizes pizza’s power to bring people together while acknowledging individual preferences, leading to the creation of Half Moon Pizzas.

Half Moon Pizzas: Solo Serving big on freshness and flavor

The absolute star of the evening was the Half Moon Pizzas, a novel concept offering the perfect solution for solo diners. Available in Pepperoni and Hawaiian flavors, each box contains three slices, giving the pizza lover a convenient, single-serving option without compromising on flavor. Priced at just P159, these pizzas are prepared individually to guarantee freshness and feature a unique crust at the edges. Customers can personalize their meal with add-ons like soda, pasta, or chicken for a complete dining experience.

Elevating the Pizza Experience

Yellow Cab also introduced improved recipes for their classic pizzas, now cheesier, meatier, and tastier than ever. Made with freshly made dough, premium ingredients, and real mozzarella cheese, these pizzas set a new standard for quality.

We were treated to an array of side activities, including a photobooth station and the “Half Moon Serve” and “Topping Throw,” with the chance to win boxes of Yellow Cab’s Best Ever Pizzas in a raffle.

I was not about to pass up the chance to treat my gang to a pizza party now, right?

A Feast for the Senses

The “Best Ever Pizza Party” wasn’t just about food—it was a feast for the senses. Renowned artists Clara Benin, Lola Amour, and DJ Margachi provided the soundtrack for the evening, captivating the audience with their soulful melodies and dance-inducing beats. Multimedia artist Raco Ruiz and lifestyle brand Syndrome Supply added visual flair to the event with their collaborations.

Setting the Stage for Future Celebrations

Yellow Cab’s “Best Ever Pizza Party” was made possible in partnership with Mountain Dew and Pepsi, ensuring guests had refreshing drinks to accompany their pizza feast. The success of the event has set the stage for future celebrations, with more “Best Ever Pizza Parties.” So watch out for these happenin’ get-togethers to be announced on Yellow Cab Pizza Co.’s social media pages:

As the event drew to a close, the spirit of camaraderie and shared gastronomic delight lingered in the air, reminding us that pizza truly knows no bounds when it comes to bringing people together. With Half Moon Pizzas leading the way, Yellow Cab Pizza Co. continues to innovate and delight pizza lovers across Manila and beyond.

After a hugely successful debut in 2019, Zark’s Fest returns this summer with their biggest offering in live music and comfort grub.

Presented and produced by Zark’s Burgers, a popular burger joint in the Philippines, and organized by GNN Entertainment Productions, the hybrid festival promises to treat its patrons with an exciting music lineup, more inclusive programming, a dedicated space for lifestyle, crafts, and arts merchants, and most especially, a hearty serving of American comfort food, the Zark’s way.

Zark’s Fest 2023 is happening on May 13, 2023, at Circuit Makati Event Grounds. Headlining the festival are the award-winning and best-selling Filipino band Ben&Ben and 2021/2022’s most-streamed solo artist Zack Tabudlo.

“We’re coming out stronger this year with a more diverse lineup and activities,” says Zark’s Burgers CEO ZarkVarona. “Make sure to pack your sunscreen as Zark’s Fest brings a festive experience in the best possible way. We’re scaling up our game with headline-worthy music representing various genres and demos, and we’re also holding the event in a bigger, outdoor venue that allows people to move freely around the site and celebrate food, arts, and crafts with their family and friends. What we have is something game-changing and special, and I hope more people will get to experience that.”

This year’s edition ups the ante of the festival format by doubling down on the experience with fair-themed booths and a more family-friendly vibe. “Our goal is to create a safe space where everyone is welcomed and included,” Varona explains. “Hopefully with Zark’s Fest, we’ll be able to deliver a music-filled destination for people from all walks of life.”
