Last June of 29th, Veranza of KCC was officially made available to the public. It houses a lot of restaurants and brands that are new to the city, including Yellow Cab Pizza Co. I don't know about you, but I've been a huge fan of this pizza place ever since I had my first bite at Davao last summer of 2006 (see? I even remember the time).
So when we finally thought that the crowd has already somehow thinned (the place was packed last Saturday and Sunday) we finally decided to have our dinner there. Here's what we ordered:
Anchovy Lovers (Regular) - P380 (good for 4 people)Black olives, anchovies, capers, roasted garlic, button mushrooms and onions -sourceThis has always been a favorite. This is supposed to be a bit salty so this may taste strange compared to what Filipino taste buds expect from a pizza. Although it's supposed to be good for 4 people, we easily consumed this between the three of us.
Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta - P270 Tender chicken strips, shiitake mushrooms and roasted peanuts sauteed in a spicy oriental sauce garnished with spring onions -sourceI absolutely love this. The taste is quite Asian. It kinda reminds me of Nissin's Yakisoba, but this is sweeter and there is more flavor of course. The sauce here is kinda sticky and coats the pasta really well. 
Shrimp Folded Pizza - P165 Delectable folded pizza topped with shrimps, fresh and crispy greens, sliced tomatoes and ceasar dressing - -sourceCorrect me if I'm wrong but I think this is a new addition to their menu. I like how this is still steaming when it was served to us. My only complain about this? It's not photogenic.Oh come on, how can a dish that's so full of flavor look flat in the picture?A Yellow Cab rep already referred me to this when I mentioned once that I really love pizza but I don't have anyone to share it with(sad story, true story). Apparently, their folded pizza is good for one serving. But we still divided this between the three of us because the anchovy lovers and charlie chan were already heavy already. 
the insidesWhat can I say? I absolutely love this. You don't just taste the crust and the fillings, you actually taste the shrimp in every bite, not just the flavor, but also the texture. I'm definitely going back for this.Over-all, we had a wonderful meal.

I've always loved Yellow Cab's interior design although I can never figure out what the writings on the wall meant.One area that Yellow Cab Pizza Co. Veranza has to improve on though is their service.. It seems like the staff is generally confused and don't know what to do yet. The lady at the counter was too focused on whatever it is she was calculating that she didn't noticed that we were already making our order. Our food arrived late. And we had to constantly follow up(something that my mom and I like to do). I guess this is because the place is still new and the staff haven't gotten used to the system yet. My father said at that point they've only mastered their training in theory and not in practice yet so we let it pass. I'm sure the staff are doing the best that they can. Besides, they were very polite despite our constant bugging. They're quick to respond to our request (even if they were obviously nervous and all).
Here are few additional pictures I got of Veranza mall. This kind of architectural design is new for Gensan but it reminds me of Cebu Ayala's Terraces.
This is right before my camera died :(
