Famous food chains like Jollibee, Mang Inasal and Chowking have now outlets serving the province of Lanao del Norte, but people still seek out Andrew’s Pizza. From its first outlet in Tubod, the province’s capital town, Andrew’s Pizza branched out to Iligan City and Maranding, Lala, Lanao del Norte.
Andrew’s Pizza serves some of the best pasta and pizza in town. And true to the province’s fashion, the place serves hefty servings at affordable prices.
Housed in one of the oldest buildings in Tubod (what was once the post office), the place is famous enough that it got a mention in Cebu Pacific Air’s Smile Magazine, alongside its sister restaurant Brew Bros. Coffee (because why not pizza + coffee?). It’s also known for not just creating traditional flavors, but also putting a new twist on the old stuff. Their well-received Filipino-style pizzas and the “Pizzaghetti” are great examples.
Speaking of Filipino, Andrew’s Pizza also serves assortments of popular Filipino dishes such as sisig, fried chicken, pancit to name a few. Pretty much every stuff on their menu have their own share of fans! There are also Mexican creations, such as quesadillas. The fries they serve are of the hand-cut variety, so you can indulge with less guilt. There’s also a variety of drinks served to compliment the pretty diverse menu items.
Andrew’s Pizza is also a great hangout for families and friends, with a homey and spacious interior, right down to the dark wooden furniture and the picture frames on the wall. Despite its popularity, it hasn’t turned into one of those huge, commercialized establishments. It’s a great sign since the ambiance is definitely part of the whole attraction.
This pizza place is a great example of how local businesses in Lanao del Norte capitalize not on hype or marketing, but on the quality of their offerings. Andrew’s popularity grew by word of mouth, which is always the best form of advertisement — it’s a template many other food places can copy from. So when people in Tubod and neighboring towns in Lanao del Norte want to go and get some awesome pizza, they know where to go.
