Pizza Hopping with My Friends

My friends and I have definitely tried just about every pizza joint and restaurants in Tampines. There are quite a few good restaurants there that serve good pizza and are reasonably priced. Today, I am going to talk about two restaurants we went to last week that serve pizza and almost have the same food variety in their menu. These are Domino’s and Pizza Hut.

First one is Domino’s Pizza. We frequently visit this popular pizza chain because of their affordable pizza and spicy wings. My friends and I would usually order the New York Crust or the Crunchy Thin Crust. What’s great about this pizza chain is that you can choose not only the crust and the toppings but as well as the sauce you want on your pizza. We always alternate their three signature pizza sauces. One is the Domino’s pizza sauce, Sweet and Spicy sauce and top secret sauce. My favorite is the Top Secret Sauce. I am a garlic flavor fan and this sauce has garlic flavor in it. Customizing the pizza is one feature that they have which we truly like. And you can have two flavors in one pizza. Their chicken wings are always on our order lists. They just have the amount of hot and spiciness. 

Pizza Hut is also making pizza for years. Aside from pizza, they have pasta selection which Domino’s does not have. They also have appetizers plus soups and salads. They only offer three choices of crust which is the thin, pan and stuffed crust pizza. Pizza cannot be customized but you can add more toppings to the pizza of your choice. They have a wide selection of appetizers from cheesy clams to calamari wings. They also offer classical pasta from specialty pasta. I must say that they offer more food varieties than Domino’s. 

Notably, Domino’s Pizza carries Coke products while Pizza Hut has Pepsi products. Pizza Hut has more choices when it comes to beverages because aside from sodas they also have fruit juices and coolers. 

In conclusion, I must say that both restaurants has well-made pizzas. Pizza Hut’s place is cozier and fit for family dining.  Domino’s caters more for take-out and delivery which they are more known for.

Pizza Night

Yesterday, my friends and I had a shopping expedition at the Tampines mall. Retail therapy was what we need after days of hard work and stress. We finished shopping just about dinner time. With all that walking and going through the aisles, we were famished. What better way to celebrate our loot than to have hot, mouthwatering pizza and ice cold beer! We had it at Pizza Hut since it is within the area. And it is our go-to place when it comes to pizza.

For starters, we tried the cheesy mussels. Cheese are overflowing from the mussel shells and you can say that it is really cheesy with three cheese added to it namely parmesan, mozzarella and cheddar. Bits of bacon and turkey are also added but you can barely taste it along with the meat of the mussel because there is so much cheese. Next, we ordered some of their pizza. We had Super Supreme, Ocean Bite and Cheesy Bite Treats. The Cheesy Bite Treats was quite a treat. They have the new Texan Chicken Fest. The edges are filled with chicken sausage alternating with cheese stuffed crust. A creamy cheese nacho fondue is placed at the middle of dip the pizza in.

The best seller in this restaurant is the Pizza Supreme. The house special never fails to disappoint those who have been going to this restaurant for years of its existence. Bits of ham, pepperoni, and beef really go well with the tanginess of the olives and the sweetness of the pineapple and onions. The Ocean Catch has a surprising taste. It’s the first time that I tried this on their menu. I must say that the pineapple chunks goes well with the shrimps, crabsticks, squid and tuna and it just brings out the sweetness of the seafood in every bite. The cool lime mayonnaise sauce just gives it the right amount of creaminess and not too heavy on the palate. These pizzas really go well with cold beer but some of my friends opted for Coolers which I also find really refreshing.

Overall impression of Pizza Hut in Tampines mall: good. The service is great as the staff and waiters are always smiling and attentive. The food is also good, freshly made pizzas and they are piping hot with the cheese that melting down when you try to lift it. Price of each selection is reasonable. And waiting time for their pizza to be cooked is not that long compared to other pizza joints. Over the years I must say that they have improved tremendously. Their menu has evolved in such a way that they developed loyal customers who simply love their not only their pizza but all the food in their restaurants.
