MORE... PLEASE!
by Louie P. Oviedo

Rarely do I eat pizzas from Magoo's, how come? Living near Welcome Rotonda, our place has been surrounded by pizza places like Pizza Hut, Shakey's, Little Caesar's, and Domino's. Normally, my siblings and I would prefer to visit these places ourselves since we do not have a phone of our own in our little apartment. We have to rely on our landlady's phone if we are to have it delivered. We're a little shy to order pizzas without sharing it with the people from next door. And since we do not like the idea of having too much trash and sharing what's enough for us with one entire family, we'd usually opt to eat out.

The only time we stumbled upon Magoo's Pizza was when we visited one of our relatives at St. Luke's Hospital. This one happens to be the only branch nearest to us, located somewhere in E. Rodriguez.

Memories of Magoo's pizza have been three years ago when our Broadcast Communication class in UP decided to have our Christmas party and as a treat for all of us, our professor ordered two of the biggest size from their branch in Philcoa and we had a hard time finishing it up.

Back at E. Rodriguez, we ordered for a regular size Magoo's Famous Combination (Php136). Their menu said that their regular size is good for one up to two persons and contains 9 square slices of their square pizza. We waited for about fifteen minutes or more for our order since they were cooking the entire thing in their oven. I was expecting each slice to be as big as the ones I've eaten three years ago in BroadComm class.

When the much-awaited pizza finally appeared, I was a little disappointed with the size. Each square would probably measure around three inches by three inches. With an appetite as big as mine and my brother combined, we found the pizza "bitin". To think that every pepperoni, pork sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives have been equally distributed in each square. And with every bite you not only get a feel of how crunchy the pizza is but how you can also distinctly taste each ingredient on top of it.

Their regular size pizza should therefore be called the personal size. I wonder how their Family and Party sizes are doing.
