Strolling along the beach of Sabang after a day of island hopping? You’ll surely be fascinated not just by\u00a0its majestic view\u00a0but also with its long stretch of\u00a0hole-in-the-wall restaurants\u00a0that will surely cater to whatever cravings you’ve got in there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What we found though, isn’t like the others who usually stand out with flashing lights and bigger space but we most likely consider it as a hidden gem boasting one of the best pizza places in the town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Smoky Place<\/strong> is a nipa hut pizza place and home to classic wood-fired cob oven pizzas in Sabang. Unlike the usual pizza parlor, The Smoky Place is\u00a0a small yet modest place accented with swings and wooden fixtures, perfect for chilling out by the beach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among their must-try for pizzas is the <\/span>Bacon Pizza<\/b>\u00a0with a soft and chewy crust, topped with home-smoked pork belly, onions, gooey mozzarella cheese, and slightly bittersweet spinach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re eager to try a new pizza flavor, then better get their <\/span>Dessert Pizza<\/b>\u00a0with a combination of Chocolate and Banana.<\/span><\/p>\n

This dessert pizza is a burst of flavors with its bittersweet taste coming from the chocolate and a hint of tanginess from the banana. This surprisingly good combination is topped with sesame seeds for additional crunch!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you may opt to try out other selections as The Smoky Place also\u00a0serves farm to table goodness of seasonal garden salads with calamansi dressing.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also get a refreshing fruit shake while you wait for your pizza. Of course, one wouldn’t go wrong with the <\/span>Mango Shake (Php 80) <\/b>but if\u00a0you\u00a0<\/b>prefer other options, they also have\u00a0a variety of beer, cocktails, house wine and coffees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just recently, The Smoky Place also added a new healthy option with their refreshing serving of Smoothie<\/strong> in a bowl!<\/p>\n

Their smoothie bowl is made up of tahini<\/em>, or a paste made up of buttered sesame seeds giving off a nutty yet creamy flavor. It is topped with bananas, dried coconut, raisins, and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n
