It was 8pm when my phone rang. Mr. Meguerdich, owner and cook called me personally to inquire about the address. I was happy to know that the concept still hasn't changed and the owners do deliver and take care of their customers themselves. He was so kind and so happy to explain about his latest creations he had just finished cooking up a few hours ago, with the help of his wife. The little details I loved:
- You won’t believe the professionalism behind this concept. The pictures reflect every flavor and their minimalist logo is just what the brand needs
- Goods are delivered in recycled carton boxes each branded with a nice sticker mentioning the different choices inside
- Stickers, carefully designed for the salty and sweet pizzas with boxes to mark the content
- Two simple colors, light orange and black where simplicity reveals the professionalism
- Recyclable carton boxes have a beige stickers for desserts content and a light orange one for savory pizzas.
I opened the boxes one after the other where rich aromas activated all my senses. I knew that dinner was going to be exceptional on all fronts.

- Salmon Pizza 45,000L.L: (Salmon, dill, red peppercorn, emmental, lemon cream cheese mixed with smoked salmon) The exquisite taste opens up to a journey of happiness which starts with a simple bite. As your teeth plunge into it, the slight oiliness of the salmon followed by the thick white cheese caress your palate, while an interesting lemony aftertaste erupts. Excellent creation indeed. Doesn't the image say it all?
- Thai Shrimp Pizza 45,000L.L: (Shrimp, emmental, onion, mushroom, red bell pepper, spicy ginger sauce) Yummy! Imagine: A perfectly cooked crunchy shrimp explodes as you bite into it to reveal its inner flavors while the juicy cheese and vegetable filing embraces this piece in style. A generous spicy aftertaste makes all the difference. You will find yourself smiling unconsciously!
- Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Pizza 35,000L.L: (Prosciutto, goat cheese, caramelized onion and rosemary) WOW! Unbelievably awesome! A sweet aftertaste and a rich prosciutto covered with white cheese which adds the needed finesse. Bravo!
- Chestnut Pizza 30,000L.L: (Chestnut purée, chocolate ganache, gold sugar sprinkles) This is a must taste for sure before this special edition is discontinued. Just imagine the creativity behind this awesome little piece of heaven. Dark chocolate on top, a purée below mixing sweetness, bitterness and crunchiness of the dough with the fine decoration of gold sparkles. What a creation! You should have heard me moaning and smiling with joy and satisfaction. Can I suggest that you add it permanently on the menu?
- Apple crumble Pizza 25,000L.L: (Apple, dried cranberry, golden crumb topping) One single dried cranberry decorates this goldfish creation, fully loaded with the apple pie fillings. Close your eyes and enjoy!
