We’ve been wanting to try Steveston Pizza in UP Town Center since we first stepped in this mall. Not only because the restaurant’s name is similar to my husbands’ but also because we wanted to try something new. Finally, a chance to sample Steveston came and the experience was so delightful I know I had to share it. Reminiscing the flavors we tried last time as I write this blog post makes me crave and plan to go back very soon.
My Steveston pizza experience was so delightful I had to share this review.
Steveston Pizza is a franchise of the popular and multi-awarded pizza company in Vancouver, Canada. When you visit the branch in UPTC, listed in a poster outside the restaurant are the numerous great review quotes from Vancouver news and food magazines, as well as its accolade as the best pizza in Vancouver since the year 2008. Steveston is also a record holder of World Guinness Book of Record for its most expensive pizza in the world, the C6.
C6, World’s Most Expensive Pizza :
costs $450
Owner: Nader Hatami
Contains: lobster thermidor, black Alaskan cod, smoked salmon, tiger prawns, and Russian Osetra caviar.
*Mr. Hatami has recently introduced the Seenay pizza which costs $850 and consists of a medley of tiger prawns, lobster ratatouille, smoked steelhead, Russian Osetra caviar and is snowed with Italian white truffles. Mr. Go stresses that these creations emphasize Steveston Pizza’s willingness to innovate and push the boundaries of what a pizza can be.
I wasn’t able to see Steveston’s Philippine CEO, Mr. Richard Go, but I understand why he decided to bring Steveston in our country. It’s because we Filipinos are natural-foodies and despite the dwindling economy, we can still manage to be adventurous when it comes to food and we always try to find if there’s something better out there. Mr. Go says they are mulling expansion plans and are open for franchising to other ASEAN countries.
I was told that there are at least more than 30 different kinds of pizza flavors available at Steveston. I was lucky to try 4 of them in one visit and promotion aside, I loved all of them. Of course, I had my favorite but I will never say no to the rest if I will be offered. One thing I noticed is that there’s only one kind of pizza crust in Steveston and it’s not thin nor thick nor gummy. It’s just enough to hold the generous amount of toppings you’ll get from each variant. Note: No catsup in this store because you won’t need it.
Water Element Pizza – loaded with shrimp, crab and basil pesto. All toppings were fresh and pesto did not overpower the shrimp. There’s a perfect balance plus the generous number of shrimp made this my favorite.
Waiting time for the pizza is from 15-20 minutes. Expect that during weekends and there are more people, waiting time will be longer. But the wait will be worth it. The price of the pizza ranges from P499 – P1,899 good for 12 slices. More expensive than other pizza we’ve known for a long time, but from experience, you’ll love each slice you won’t regret what you’ve paid. I don’t know how to write it without being too advertorial, but it’s the only way I can put it here.
The caveman. The all-time favorite of barkada. See the layers of pepperoni, bacon, lean beef and capocollo.
Japanese pizza. Hubby loved this because of the chunky wasabi-scented teriyaki chicken breast, enoki mushrooms, and sesame seaweed.
For the vegetable lovers. I really suggest that you try this. Marguerite Two has basil and arugula pesto, tomato, creamy feta and chicken. It was so tasty!
Their UPTC store is open in weekdays from 10AM-11PM while they close after midnight during the weekends. For the delivery service, they only accept calls till 9PM. You can order thru FoodPanda or call their store – 42309844 or 09257499288 – directly if you wish to have their pizza delivered to you at home. Since I live in QC and they only have branches in UPTC, Corinthian Gardens and in Makati (they only deliver within 2-3 km radius), we have to make do on weekends when we go to mass in the nearby parish.
Family Friendly
Steveston UPTC offers other food aside from pizza. The kids will surely enjoy their chicken and pasta. There are salads, drinks and dessert to choose from.
Baked potatoes with meaty gravy – the famous Poutine
The kids will love these sweet and crunchy chicken wings. Too bad there’s no rice to go with it!
Signature Premium Pizzas
C2 – Contains Prosciutto ham, brie, semi-dried roma tomatoes, and dollop of roasted garlic mousse.
The Princess – Crab meat, cheese, shrimp, diced tomatoes, tiger prawns, sockeye salmon, and basil – It will be a great table stunner this Christmas!
Unlike in Canada where Steveston Pizza is only available for take out, there are 3 branches to dine-in here in the Philippines. It’s a good thing because as much as we like take-outs, Filipino families love to eat out during the weekends. Like us! So plan your visit to Steveston this weekend. Visit stevestonpizza.com.ph to know more about this amazing pizza restaurant.
See you there!
I would love a bite of that cave man pizza. The pizza crust looked freshly prepared as the toppings good quality and generously spread based on the pictures, hence the higher than the usual pizza we are used to.
I agree, the price is a bit expensive compared to other pizza stores. First time to see a 4 digits price for a pizza. They have poutine din. 🙂
Wow!! Ang sarap nung pizza. Ang dami daming laman. They all looked delish. 🙂
Oh pizza! my comfort food. Too different, really. I want that pizza with shrimps. Yum. I’m sure the pizzas are worth price.
I wanna try the world’s most expensive pizza! Haha! They all look scrumptious!
Oh, gosh! Those are mouth watering pizzas! I love all the toppings in there! I would love to try this place out!
Pizza is love! Now I’m craving for pizza.
Ahhh pizza!!! Who doesn’t love pizza!?!?! Nakakatakam!!! Gustong-gusto ko yung Marguerite Two i-try!!!
Pizza!!! Steveston’s pizzas are so loaded! The Baked Potatoes with Meaty Gravy seems so tempting though. I wonder if they have a branch now somewhere in the South? I think it’s worth giving them a try.
Sobrang sarap naman neto!!! I am a pizza fanatic! I would really love to try this out!
OMG!!! Ang sarap-sarap naman nito at malapit lang din sa amin. Mapuntahan nga before ang hubby aalis.
Ooooh! There’s a branch at circuit which is nearer to us. 🙂 that water element pizza is to die for.
OMG all the pizzas look so good! And the poutine – mouthwatering ugh. Pero naloka ako sa $450 pizza ha. Okay na ako sa ordinary pizza nila haha!
My hubby would definitely love this place! Dollar rate talaga sila?
everything looks delicious, I hope that they will have a branch here in the south area soon.
A friend was able to sample Stevenson pizza and she guaranteed that its worth the money and time to visit the place. I would love to try it as well and bring my kids along. My boys are pizza fanatics. 🙂
PIZZA! My ultimate love. The water elements pizza is super! I’ll have this pizza parlor on my bucket list.
Oh my those are pizzas to the next level! So many yummy toppings! Tried it here once and hubby and I love it so much! Definitely a must-try.
Woah! Those pizzas are indeed super expensive but just looking at the photos already makes me think that they must be worth the cost too. They look delish!
awww. the place is too far. gaah! the prosciutto.
Super layo from our place 🙁 The food looks great and I am an avid pizza lover! I hope they have a branch naman in the south.
We are Pizza Lovers! They all look yummy + the chicken wings too! 🙂
WOW! to the world’s most expensive Pizza $450 (approx. P22,000?)
I love pizza! Seriously, I can live on them haha. Drooling on that Caveman pizza though, its a carnivorous idea of bliss haha!
My kids only eat one flavor of pizza – cheese. I, on the other hand. am drooling on the water element one. So is C6 as expensive here as where it originated from?
Whoa! Not a post of pizza! Huhuhu! My goodness, these looks really tasty and I am so craving for it! Pizza fanatic on the loose. Lol!
Oooh, so many flavors to choose from! I just might ask the husband for a pizza date one of these days. I’m getting tired of the usual pizza chains. It’s about time I try some quality pizza experience. 🙂
Wow! They all look so delicious! We will definitely try them out soon!
A new pizza place to try! That’ll be next on my list. Their pizza looks loaded!
We love Steveston Pizza although the resto is super far from us. Its expensive but the price is really worth it. Hindi tipid sa ingredients. 🙂
Their pizzas are quite expensive but look really delish! I hope they open a branch near us soon.
medyo pricey but looks really sumptious! i want to give them a try and hopefully soon! my choi is a pizza monster so he’ll love this!
the caveman looks yummy, it’s quite expensive but you said its worth it naman. I want to try it ang layo lang sa amin
It was the best pizza in the country!!! Whenever I would think about pizza, Steveston is the first that comes to my mind.
I saw this in UP Town but never got a chance to try it 🙂 Will try this real soon when I’m in the area. My kids love piza and theirs look so yummy 🙂
Aren’t those pizza superloaded? I would love to give the “Water” flavor a try since I am a big fan of seafood. I sure hope I can try this restaurant with my boys one of these days!
Wow! My hubby and I loves pizza, although my firstborn doesn’t. These are great finds an there are really lot of food hubs at UP Town Center, noh?
