Pizzetta: Poblacion's Affordable, Delicious Neapolitan Pizza

At a recent meetup, I found myself back in Poblacion, Makati—an area of town I don't go to as often as I do Legaspi or Salcedo Village. After having coffee at Saglit by Flower Ranch Cafe, a friend suggested we get dinner at a nearby food joint - Pizzetta. 

Pizzetta opened last year, June 2025, to be exact, at 5687 Dona Carmen Street. When it first started operations, it had only a small space. My friend told me it could seat only a few customers, and so we couldn't stay long. When we got there, though, it turned out that Pizzetta now had a larger space right across the way—one that could hold bigger groups of people. 

What is Neapolitan Pizza? 

In case you're wondering what Neapolitan pizza is, it is the most famous type of Italian pizza, renowned for its straightforward ingredients and soft texture. Did you know that it's recognized by UNESCO as the epitome of Italian pizza-making and part of the world's intangible cultural heritage? 

Neapolitan pizza is not crispy or heavily topped, and it's not a pizza you eat on the go. Instead, it is characterized by its soft, elastic dough; puffy, airy crust; thin, tender center; and minimal toppings. In Italy, Neapolitan pizza is usually eaten with a knife and fork because the center is soft and delicate. 

What's so special about Pizzetta? 

They offer Php99 pizzas! And I don't mean just a slice. I mean, an 8-inch-sized solo pizza with soft, chewy, and lightly charred Neapolitan-style crust. They have classic pizzas like Five Cheese Garlic and Creamy Spinach for Php99 and premium options like Samurai, handcrafted dough, and premium toppings with rich umami goodness priced a bit higher at Php129. 

Not in the mood for pizza? Pizzetta has also expanded its offerings to include pasta and salads. 

We ordered chicken masala and creamy spinach solo 

This alfredo pasta is only Php99 

For the price, it's already a steal! The pizzas were good and actually already good for 2 people to share. Though I wouldn't share! 😈 Our total bill was less than Php500, which already includes the service charge. 

Pizzetta is open 24/7 and even available for takeout and delivery via Grab. This pizza place was also named Grab Food's "This Year's 5-Star Eats Merchant."

Aside from being an affordable place to satisfy your pizza cravings, you can also linger around Pizzetta for a beer or two while you play billiards. 

Hang out with friends, drink beer and play pool at Pizzetta 

At Pizzetta, you can order local beers, imported beers, or other alcoholic drinks like whiskey and brandy. 

For me, Pizzetta is a great find that I hope will stay in Poblacion for a long time! It's worth going to when you want to satisfy your pizza cravings without breaking the bank. Its laid-back ambiance will invite you to stay and unwind especially after a long day's work alone or with friends.
