Isabella’s Pizza - Malaybalay

My sisters who live in Malaybalay enjoy dining at Isabella's, stating that the food is good. I accompanied them and found that the food was decent, but not to my liking. I was not a fan of the restaurant's decor, as it felt like I was in someone's living room with the red sofa and other furnishings. It had a homey look that was not my style. I hope that Malaybalay will have a more upscale restaurant in the future with waitstaff and excellent food offerings. Good luck to Isabella's in their future improvements. I have fond memories of Malaybalay, as I used to live there before moving to the United States.

It's a little difficult to spot because the exterior looks like your neighborhood karenderia. Once inside, the concept of having an all lounge feel for a resto is really unique especially in these parts of the Philippines. The staff was obnoxious, had multiple meals not available and the staff had some of our orders wrong and also the computation of the total bill. The food we ordered was sizzling burger patty and bbq. The bbq was huge and worth it. The patty was half cooked, feel in my mouth was like left over food and their kitchen didnt have exhaust hence we smelled really bad when we got out. Overall rating is alright, didnt know they were known for their pizza, might go back to try that!

The interiors is very cozy and welcoming. Felt like you were in some good friend 's house and not in an intimidating and socy (read: pretentious) coffee shop. We ordered pizza and were happy to note that it 's thick crust. And boy it was tasty! so much so that we ordered another round. We also tried out their German fries and we loved it, too. We just love the overall vibe of the place and we are definitely going back!

I have always loved their food. It is good quality and reasonably priced. However, they need to work on their interior design as it appears a bit dim and some of the furnishings look outdated.

The food is average, nothing special. The restaurant is dimly lit and feels cramped, with old, outdated fabrics and upholstery. I had a bad experience when my cellphone got lost during a spill clean up. I don't plan on returning.
