Without her…

Melissa was grumbling away that we had gone for pizza without her when my cousin was in town but of course, I told her that we could go anytime she wanted. That was why when she came home the following weekend, I made it a point to take her there for lunch.

This time around, I made sure that I ordered the right one – their Pizza Italia (RM28.00)…

…and yes, it was so good…

…with the ham and the chicken and the three types of cheese used. The crust looked thick at the side but actually, it was not and as you can see, they really made it very thin…

…indeed.

We also had pasta – their pastora (RM18.00) and we opted for the fusilli…

It was very nice with its “simple sauce of bacon, mushroom, chili, garlic and parmesan”…

– a welcome change from the usual thicker and heavier sauces.

I also ordered the Long Beach club sandwich (RM28.00)…

…which came out looking like something you would get from one of the Subway outlets…

It was nice but I was disappointed as the name “club sandwich” would conjure images of a layer of thinly-sliced beef and a slice of roast chicken, ham or bacon and a fried egg in my head. That’s my idea of a club sandwich and this one did not measure up at all – I should have read the fine print.

Still, it was a great lunch and we did enjoy everything that we had…and most importantly, Melissa was happy that her wish to go and eat pizza was granted after all.
