If you are looking for a good place to enjoy pizza, pasta and salad with the family in Alabang, you should consider Firehouse Pizza.

Located at the ground floor of the Entrata Urban Complex along Civic Drive in Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Firehouse Pizza is the “place where friends and family can gather over great food in a place that promises a warm welcome and a whole lot of delicious fun.” As published on their website, the restaurant intends to “introduce a new way of enjoying pizza” because they are “more than just a pizza joint.”

On my part, I had dined with the family at Firehouse Pizza twice and the most recent visit was for dinner. Posted below are pictures and descriptions of what we had the last time…

This is the Burrata Salad, easily the most unique thing from Firehouse Pizza’s menu. It is composed of cherry tomatoes, mesclun leaves, Burrata cheese (meant to be opened and spread over the ingredients), Balsamic reduction and olive oil. As of this writing, it was priced at P750.
This is the Antipasti Platter composed of assorted cheese, assorted cold cuts, artichoke, mushroom, olives and vegetable confit. For sharing, this one costs P740.
This is the solo-sized Lasagna Bolognese which costs P360. Composed of minced beef, mozzarella and parmesan, it was cooked well and each bite was tasty and smooth.
The Pepperoni pizza.
The Mushroom pizza.

Like the first time my family dined there, all the food served to us by Firehouse Pizza were well prepared with regards to the cooking of the pizza and pasta, and also the way they ensured the freshness of the ingredients on making the Burrata Salad. There definitely is special attention paid on the quality, taste and presentation. On my part, each bite was tasty. If there was anything lacking, it was their hot plate special of Grilled Tenderloin with Potato Wedges which was out of stock during our last visit. With regards to getting served, the restaurant’s personnel were really attentive and helpful to us as well as the other diners. That being said, I encourage you to visit Firehouse Pizza when you have the chance and the means to do so.

This is what Firehouse Pizza looks like from the outside during night time. It is a corner unit and just walking distance away from Crimson Hotel.

For the newcomers reading this, if you will be traveling to Alabang to have a meal at Firehouse Pizza, be aware that the restaurant is just a short walk away from Crimson Hotel which is also part of the Entrata Urban Complex. You can park your car at the Festival Mall parking lot just outside of Shopwise, or at the multilevel parking facility nearby (bordering Civic Drive).

Firstly, I want to thank the Lord in Heaven for the recent re-opening of the Alabang (Westgate, Filinvest City) branch of Pizza Telefono which was a very welcome development during this time of COVID-19 crisis. I’m really happy they resumed operations here in Alabang which should interest not only residents of Muntinlupa but also those in BF Homes (via Concha Cruz Drive).

Secondly, I want to thank the people of Pizza Telefono Alabang branch for fulfilling our family’s take-out orders of a thin-crust and a hand-tossed pizza even though they had a very hectic day last Sunday…Mother’s Day 2020!

On the topic at hand, here’s a look at the two pizzas we ordered from Pizza Telefono: the thin-crust Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza and the hand-tossed Super Telefono pizza.

Thin-crust Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza. Quite noticeable was the lack of mushrooms prepared by the Alabang branch.

The Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza came with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and mushroom in fresh button form. Upon first bite, it was tasty and somewhat crunchy. I could tell it was well cooked. However, the mushrooms were lacking due to a lapse on the part of the people who prepared it. Even so, this pizza proved to be good enough and I should say that I myself am not even fond of pepperoni. Someone else is.

Next was, literally, the heavy hitter…the Super Telefono pizza. This one was loaded with ingredients composed of salami, pepperoni, Italian sausage, sweet ham, ground beef, bacon, parmesan and some vegetables!

The hand-tossed Super Telefono pizza. Look at all the toppings and cheese!

As it was a hand-tossed pizza, each slice of Super Telefono was not only very delicious but also quite filling on its own. That clearly is not surprising because hand-tossed pizzas are thicker and richer. Take a look at the pic below.

A closer look at the Super Telefono slice. Each bite of this is rich, flavorful and filling!

I should mention that I love the dough Pizza Telefono used on the Super Telefono pizza. It has a nice texture that can be felt when chewing on it. The slice soft enough for ease of chewing.

When it comes to pizza goodness and satisfaction, I will say that the thin-crust Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza is good but I’m not convinced to choose it the next time I order a thin-crust pizza at Pizza Telefono. I will recommend it, however, to anyone who loves pepperoni on their pizza.

As for the hand-tossed Super Telefono pizza, I highly recommended it to all you who read this. Even if you’re not the kind of person who is into pizza with multiple ingredients on it, I still recommend eating it at least once. I had a great satisfaction with Super Telefono pizza for its taste, very good dough and got filled. Definitely Super Telefono is something I would not hesitate to order again in the near future.
