Adding warmth to the heart and the gastronomic satisfaction of people in the romantic month of February. As the cliché goes, a way to someone’s heart is through the stomach.
Known for its healthy and delicious food, the Italian gastronomic culture is touted as one of Europe’s (and if not in the whole world’s) finest food and is always being sought by many travelers.
Mindful of this trend, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, Inc. brings a slice and taste of Italian at San Valentino in Manila with a little slice and taste of Italians’ most loved food, the PIZO Italian Square Pizza.
While Filipinos are no strangers to pizza, PIZO brings the best Italian taste to the Filipino palate and is excited to share the good and healthy food that Italy is known for with its newly established business in the Philippines.
Interestingly, here is an insider trivia: As rich as its food culture, Italian pizza comes in various styles. Filipinos are usually exposed to what they call Naple-style, the round, cut-in triangles and thin. Familiar? YES! Since most commercial pizza food chains (and restaurants) serve this kind of pizza style.
There’s another hidden gem in the world of pizza: the square pizza, or as the Italians call it, “al taglio”. This style of pizza is like a slice of Italy’s heart and soul. It’s been there through thick and thin (pun intended) for Italians – from school breaks to post-football match celebrations and late-night munchies. And guess what? PIZO is all about this, bringing you a piece of Italy at any time of the day without compromising on Italian ingredients and especially taste.
Created by an Italian team for the Philippines market, PIZO is bringing the concept of “sulit” pizza to the young, enthusiastic foodie-discovery Filipinos paying attention to affordable, quality, and available comfort food anytime. It’s high-quality Italian pizza without breaking the bank.
Available now in four flavors: Pepperoni, Beef Ragu, Three Cheese, and Sweet and Sour Bell peppers… and more to come! Wherever there are pizza cravings, on your sofa with your family, in your office with your colleagues, in your favorite bar with your barkada, or in a nightclub with your partner—PIZO makes enjoying delicious pizza easy for everyone: you order via social media, we deliver to you, and it’s ready to be served in five minutes! All you need is the simplest heating appliance: air fryer, electric oven, toaster, broiler, traditional oven…you name it, PIZO works with it.
PIZO’s soft launch will be held at the networking event organized by The Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ICCPI) in celebration of Valentine’s Day, entitled “San Valentino” on Thursday, February 8, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, at the Mistral Rooftop Bar of the Raffles Hotel Makati.
PIZO: It’s pizza perfection every Filipino “dough” deserves to enjoy!
