Back in November, I posted about Pizza Hut’s Lechon Pizza promo on their Facebook fan page where you can win a feast or gift certificates. Well, guess what!?! I WON!!! If only I wasn’t at our computer shop, I would’ve jumped up and down in glee! I won Php 1,500 gift certificates from Pizza Hut, one of my favorite pizza joints.
I had issues with how I could claim the gift certificates because I can’t close the shop just to pick them up. That’s why I’m so grateful that they accommodated my request to have my prize shipped to my home address through courier. Thank you so much, Pizza Hut!
So, I had it all planned. I tagged my friends from The Burp Society (formerly known as Tomador Inc. :D) on the photo post where I won and they were the ones who were invited, too, for the pizza party. It was supposed to be a super late birthday celebration for one of my friends, and a post-Christmas and New year celebration all rolled into one.
My friend Badeth had her Pizza Hut Palm card with her. I confirmed with Pizza Hut’s customer service agent that I could use the Palm card. I was asking ’cause I thought they had another promo for delivery, like their All-You-Pay promos in the past.
What did we order? I really, really wanted to try the Lechon Pizza so we ordered one (1) large (14″) pizza for Php 499.
At first glance, I was a li’l skeptical about the Lechon Pizza. I mean, it looked a bit greasy to me. They had a separate package for the pork roasted skin that you can either break into pieces or grind to spread all over the pizza. They even include extra sauce.
The roasted skin was really crunchy. The whole pizza flavor reminded me of Paksiw na Lechon / Lechon Paksiw that my mother makes. I guess that’s why my bro and I enjoyed it, too. It’s got the sweetness of that dish, but yeah, maybe a li’l oily for some people. There was no need for the extra sauce if you ask me.
I had about 3 1/2 slices of the Lechon Pizza in total, from our pizza night ’til the next day. The guilt is there, alright. But, I did enjoy it. You just have to eat one slice at a time, with about a 6-hour difference :D.
Going back to our pizza orders, included is one (1) large Ultimate Cheese for Php 479 and one (1) Family size Super Supreme Pan Pizza for Php 435.
We decided to order one (1) Family Spaghetti Bolognese with Meatballs for Php 399 ’cause Badeth, her daughter Abby and I were craving for pasta. I so love Pizza Hut’s spaghetti! I’m craving for it while writing this post. The serving, by the way, is good for 3-6 people, depending on your appetite. 😀 We had pizza with it so 8 people actually got to enjoy the whole family serving of this spaghetti.
Because we wanted to take advantage of the Palm card, we also had to order 3 bottles of Pepsi. The total bill exceeded Php 1,500, but I only added Php 700+ for all these pizza. We got a total of 6 boxes of pizza!
The thing is only 4 of us were there – Badeth (with her daughter Abby), me, Chokoy and Resty. Most of the invited ones, including the birthday celebrant (supposedly) wasn’t able to join us ’cause he just got home from an out-of-town trip (boohoo, Erap!) 😛
We had a lot of leftover pizza that my dad and my cousins who were there also enjoyed pizza with beer, our treat. 😀
2 of my friends even had their own take-home pizza ’cause there was just too many for the 4 of us. 😀
All in all, it was a short, but a happy pizza night with my long-time friends. It would’ve been crazier if all of the people that were supposed to be there were able to come, but I still enjoyed that night a lot. It gave us time to update each other. I wish next time, everyone invited can join! 🙂
wow!that is just way too many pizza!congratulations in winning….i love pizza hat pasta too, reading your post made me crave for it….:)
Mhel, they should be paying you more with all these photos. Natatakam ako, lalo na spaghetti!
