Thanks to website, Mary Love Siy, I got to satisfy my pizza and pasta cravings last week. She invited me and other bloggers for a feast, a closer look into Joey Pepperoni's revamp menu. The change was geared towards capturing a sophisticated market of Italian cuisine lovers. Choices of where to eat abound wherever we go, how does a vintage brand like Joey Pepperoni keep itself above the competition? On this sponsored trip, I realized they so have a strong fighting chance. I started this gastronomic endeavor with a request from Mary, by saying, I need a bowl of salad. I got their House Salad, to stir my appetite. It is a simple bowl of colorful fresh veggies with well stirred sweet balsamic dressing. Our next starter, Pepperoni Fries arrived hot on sizzling plate. This novel piece could be a kid's favorite. It has fries, lots of pepperoni meat and generous cheese. It was slightly better than Mozza Bites, another appetizer we ordered. For their signature Pizza, we got four unique kinds including Nutella pizza for a last filling sweet stop. My favorite was Bianca, a three cheese ensemble of mozzarella, white cheese and aged blue cheese. It had nice contrasting tastes just from its cheeses. It was even made better with its other toppings of salty anchovies, slightly bitter arugula and for a kick, spiced up, garlic. We also got classic Pepperoni and Joey's Supreme, a pizza with a myriad of all sorts in one pan. Surprisingly Pesto Pasta made the most impression for me. I am a sucker for basil and I was not expecting theirs to be that delicious. It had bountiful pesto sauce and parmesan cheese. Another pasta worth checking out would be their Chicken Parmigiana. It uses capellini pasta poured with rich tomato sauce, mixed with basil, mushroom and even more juicy tomatoes. Topping this would be crispy chicken covered with cheese all over it. It's also picture worthy! For a final dish before I gave up and raised my white flag, I tried a speck of their Roasted Rosemary Chicken. This was a bit of a let down for it was slightly bland. The meat however had a nice lingering after taste, thanks to its fresh herbs. Are you ready to come back and give them a whip again? I suggest taking a trip to Pioneer and get your palates ready for a more interesting Italian vibe here.

We ordered Four Cheese and Chicken BBQ. We liked both pizza. If you ask for the waiters to give you extra BBQ sauce, they'll give you. :)Lots of cheese but that much chicken on the pizza. Their dough is between a thick and think dough. That's the only kind of dough that they bake.

Ordered carbonara, chicken parmigiana and the diy pizza. At first we thought that the serving size of the pasta was small, but I was almost full finishing 2/3 of my plate. The breadstick was soft and thick, I was expecting it to be crunchy, but still good. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal. Specially when choosing our the pizza toppings.
