I’m not actually familiar with Papa John’s Pizza at first. I thought it’s just another pizza store. As I research, I saw that it’s actually a franchise from the United States orginating from Indiana.

I discovered this in Beijing from a friend who recommended it for its variety of flavor. But what I remembered most is the pizza crust. I’m very particular with pizza crust, I often throw this part away if it’s too thick or starchy. We ordered this one for our friend’s surprise party that time. It’s a must to reheat this though when it becomes cold.

Ever seen the biggest pizza in Beijing? This is notably the biggest yet! Kro’s Pizza is one of the Haidian bests when you want to just order take out.

Kro’s nest has a branch near Beida (Beijing University). The place looks like a pub but more relaxing than the usual. The pizzas are HUGE as big as a manhole cover and it’s quite cheap. Medium size would cost around 60 kuai, 5-6 people can definitely share. The Philly Cheese Steak is one of their specialty.

Italian food anyone??

One in Beijing that serves one of the best is Annie’s Cafe!

Before getting to the basics, the staff here would give fresh bread with pesto on the side and garlic butter. This would easily fill your empty stomach, but don’t despair, they won’t serve that long. I love the Carbonara when we tried it in one branch. (more…)
