With pizza selections from Romance, Seduction and Desire to Lover Boy, Lover Girl, Love and Kisses, it is Valentine's Day 365 days a year at this pizza joint Ilonggos have grown up with. It is filled with gastronomic memories of yesteryears that those who grew up in the City of Love have only one in mind when it comes to pizza - Love and Kisses.
Fantasy Pizza |
A simple lunch out with the ever hungry Lamon-Lagaw Group brought us at the newest branch of Love and Kisses, along JM Basa Street near the Iloilo City Hall. Despite the additional items of the menu, we set our eyes to their specialty - pizza, nothing else. So we got Fantasy which is marketed to be the "flavor you've been fantasizing about - with pepperoni, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms, mozarella cheese and onions". Now, is the pizza above worth fantasizing for?
We also got Simone. No, she's not a waitress but another pizza variant. "She is tender with her love but she can be a handful - with onions, sweet ham, bacon,bellpeppers, mushrooms, cheese and pepperoni". She wasn't only a handful but really a mouthful.
To celebrate Valentine ahead, I had the Spaghetti di Amore. At first, it looked like we've been "short-changed" because the sauce doesn't look enough for the pasta. But we were wrong, it was more than enough and was very good. It was meaty and thicks with hints of potted meat or liver spread. We also got this creamy Pasta Alfredo on the side.
I personally don't have pizza memories of Love and Kisses when iIwas growing up though I pass by the restaurant across University of San Agustin. It's more of a discovery for me eversince I started blogging. My first blogpost about Love and Kisses had me try all the available flavours in just one sitting. And that's the start of the memories I am making for Love and Kisses pizza.
