Pizza Volante — Restaurant in Baguio

TL;DR: The place is dirty and unsanitary. They have a cockroach infestation. The service is slow. Their food is bad.

Full review:

I went here just this December 2021. All the other nearby restaurants were full and this one had the shortest line. When we got in, we were 3rd in line and waited for a table.

Right from when we entered, I already had second thoughts about eating there. The air was stale, the tables were close to each other, and the worst part was how dirty the place was. I saw a cockroach at the displayed plates for the pizza sizes. Check the photo I attached. I wanted to eat somewhere else but we were already next and I didn't want to wait in line again at another restaurant. After 3 minutes we were finally seated on a table at the second floor.

The situation was almost the same. The second floor was just as dirty as the first. But it had a better view, and the air flowed more freely as there was more space. I ordered their pesto and a milkshake, while my boyfriend ordered their grilled rib eye and a french press coffee. We were told by the waitress that their kenny george pizza was their best seller so we ordered that too.

The drinks were served in 5 mins but the meals took 30 mins more to be served. The long wait time was already bad but it isn't even the worst part. When the waiter put my plate down on the table, 2 tiny cockroaches crawled out from under the plate onto our table. I also took a picture of this, which you can see attached. The whole experience made me want to puke. I could barely eat my food, thinking how dirty and unsanitary their kitchen must be to have a cockroach infestation. I didn't finish my food cause aside from the thought that cockroaches possibly crawled on it, it also didn't taste any good. My boyfriend told me his rib eye also didn't taste good and the serving was so small. The pizza didn't have any integrity and it was undercooked and taste just as bad as our meals. The only good thing about this restaurant is their milkshake cause it was affordable and tasted good, but everything else tastes awful.

After this whole experience, I'm definitely never coming back to this place again. And if you're reading this, I hope you don't even think...

Most reviews here are filled with good things to say about the food and the place. They're probably lucky. This is open 24 hours and located in the middle of the city. No parking spaces available in this branch.

Waiting time: We were only lucky for a few times because there were available seats so we were accommodated immediately, but there was a time we waited for more than an hour just to be accommodated. There were other guests who arrived later than we did but they were accommodated first before us. There were atleast 8 of us at the time. It's not a great place to dine for a large group unless you're willing to wait for seats to open up. Also, there are customers who stay around for more than an hour despite peak hours even after finishing their food or drinks, so you have to consider that.

Food: The pizzas and the pastas are great. The waiting time for the food is what's terrible especially during peak hours. There was a time we had to cancel an order for a dessert because it's already been more than an hour after the other foods were served and it wasn't still served. There wasn't even a lot of customers at the time. We also had to repeatedly ask for service water because they keep forgetting we asked for it.

Staff: The staffs are accommodating. Even though it's peak hours and there's lots of things for them to do, they at least still attend to your queries.

Comfort rooms: As someone who is mindful when it comes to CR, I don't like theirs. It's smelly. And there are times where there's no water to flush the toilet and wash your hands. I hope they...
