I was so excited for the Quezon City Food
Fest as it sounded so promising. Imagine, gathering all the best finds in
Quezon City in one area. It was a foodie’s dream come true. But I wasn’t
expecting (1) that it’ll rain pretty much the whole afternoon and (2) that there
wasn’t anything special about the whole event. There were no special dishes or
offering and every single restaurant was packed! In short, I ended up being a
sticky and wet hungry girl.
After an
upsetting trip to this new Japanese restaurant I shall not mention, M
recommended that we visit his favorite pizza place instead. And since I was
famished and the two sorbetes cones I
bought were about to disappear, I agreed.
Hello, Leona’s
Art Restaurant!
The place is
pretty small and we had to wait for a bit for a table to clear up. Luckily, the
wait wasn’t that long.
Since the
place was packed, it took the servers a while to clear our table and to get our
orders. But since the owner was apologetic, I was more forgiving this time.
(Plus, the sorbetes helped calm me.)
We opted to
get the Take Three Pizza Promo for only PHP499 (for 10 inches). For the
flavors, Three Cheese and Pepperoni are fixed. We could only choose one more
and we got the Garlic and Mushroom. I also ordered the Tomato Espresso (PHP80)
and Soft Taco (PHP90). I also got a rootbeer float as drink/dessert.
It was such
a shocker though that it was in a very small cup. Literally an espresso
serving. But the taste did not come short. It was very flavorful given it was
pureed tomatoes. I loved the mix of tomatoes with the parmesan cheese, basil
and fried garlic. And thank you Leona for not putting too much cayenne pepper.

Finally, the
pizzas.
The Three Cheese
and Pepperoni weren’t extraordinary and it tasted pretty much like those I
could get from other pizza places. But the Garlic and Mushroom was love.
Okay, maybe
I’m a bit biased here as I love garlic. The flavors were balanced well and the
garlic wasn’t overpowering. I’d love to order that again soon!
See you
again soon, Leona!
