CEBU, Philippines - Celebrating its opening last November 15, 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto stands by a humble modicum, one that defines it as a venue where great pizza can be found without necessarily having to break the bank.

In matching its featured panzzeroto, 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto also highlights its New Yorker-style pizza, the Don Pepe, topped with lots of mozzarella and loaded with pepperoni. Its Vegan Veggie also stands out as a 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto highlight, with mozzarella topped with fresh cuts of sweet pepper, onions, olives and pineapple.

"Hawaiian pizza" lovers will also find a lot to love in 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto's Maui Delight, with its blend of barbecued pork complementing its onions, pineapple and mozzarella toppings. Meat lovers won't be left wanting with the Ultimate Bacon Sausage, topped with mozzarella, and ample cuts of bacon and Italian sausage.

In ascribing to is "241" name, 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto also features its "belly buster deals", defining the venue as one where best value for money can be experienced. Highlighting  a "combo" order-purchase specials that could either entail pizza orders with drink, or pizza orders with panzzeroto and with drinks, 241 Pizza & Panzzeroto takes its role seriously in offering only the best, in reasonable and realistic price terms.
