...Upper Crust lives up to its name with tasty ultra-thin and massively wide slices. You’ll balk at the $3+ cost per slice, until you see one. Let’s just say four of them would probably make a very good-sized pizza...
...from the heat in the cool confines of My Breathing Space, tel: (63) 929 450 7733, and sip a Philippine barako coffee (or, if you prefer, a Vietnamese rose tea) among a bewildering medley of model cats and novelty knickknacks. If you get hungry, you can order a thin-crust pizza at Bellini's, tel: (63-2) 913 2550. ? If you simply want a drink, sit back and people-watch at Mogwai, tel: (63-2) 913 1060, which also features an art-house cinematheque upstairs.

She also has the most memorable...
...Lahey trades his usual loaves for crust - round, thin and fired in a 900-degree oven like they're done in Naples, occasionally charred and consistently topped with surprises. The Flambé, for instance, oozes richly with mozzarella, parmesan, caramelized onions and fatty lardons - swimming in a shallow sea of béchamel sauce ($16). Less liquid, is the Stracciatella, piled high with arugula, crushed tomatoes and its namesake cheese, and dusted with a fine coat of freshly ground black pepper ($17). And the aptly-named Popeye pie is another cheese-intensive endeavor, with ample fresh spinach atop a pecorino...
