One of its most talked-about offerings (and a clear best-seller) is the Humba, an unexpectedly delightful pairing that brings Filipino comfort food into pizza form. It features slow-braised pork humba topped with mozzarella, onions, and toasted pineapple, creating a rich balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

Another best-seller is the Truffled Mushroom, a richly layered pizza that highlights the deep, earthy flavors of mushrooms. Built on a creamy white sauce base, it is topped with mozzarella, shimeji, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms, along with truffle paste and white truffle oil for added depth. Finished with fresh arugula and parmesan cheese, the result is a well-balanced pizza that is both fragrant and satisfying.
