Pizza Mhargerita: A Place Perfect for Students
Upon our arrival, we received a warm welcome from the owners of the place, Ms. Mhargie Guevarra-Morales ( Ms. Jhing as I fondly called her), and her husband, Mr. Jessel M. Morales. Ms. Mhargie, a professor from the College of Arts and Sciences at USLS, and Mr. Jessel, with a wealth of culinary experience, are the driving forces behind this delightful pizzeria.
Situated in a bustling student hub, this charming resto has become a favorite spot among students. Despite not being air-conditioned, it entices patrons with its promise of delectable dishes at unbelievably affordable prices. During our recent visit, we embarked on a culinary journey that left an indelible mark on our taste buds.

Ms. Jhing mentioned that instead of opting for air conditioning, they prefer to maintain the current setup. This decision stems from their commitment to offering dishes that are always student-friendly. The choice to forgo air conditioning helps in keeping costs low and accessible to students. This thoughtful approach adds to the allure of this already charming eatery, making it a true gem in the hearts of its patrons.

A Feast for the Senses [ Pizza Mhargerita ]
During our visit, we were treated to a feast of pizzas, pasta, chicken, pancit, and more. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, showcasing the culinary skills of the Morales couple. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant, coupled with the friendly service, made our birthday celebration truly memorable.
The White Pizza, adorned with four cheese flavors, is a revelation. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with the thin, crispy crust providing the perfect canvas for the rich, indulgent cheese blend. Equally enticing is the Pepperoni Pizza, its savory toppings mingling harmoniously with the crisp crust, creating a pairing that is nothing short of perfection, especially when washed down with your favorite soda.
The Pasta Bolognese emerged as another star on the menu. This classic dish, beloved by many, features a rich, savory sauce that envelops the al dente pasta in a comforting embrace. The interplay of tangy tomatoes and sweet pasta is a testament to the chef’s skill in achieving a flawless balance of flavors.
The Fried Chicken is a crowd-pleaser, boasting a crispy exterior that gives way to tender, juicy meat—a dish so irresistible that it has become a student favorite.
The Fried Spring Rolls and Fried Dumplings are delightful appetizers, offering a crispy exterior that gives way to a burst of flavorful fillings. They are versatile enough to serve as either a viand or a snack, perfect for sharing with friends.
Miss Jhing’s recommendation, the Canton Guisado, is a hit among the College of Arts and Sciences students. Its savory flavors and generous portions make it a hearty and satisfying choice for any palate.
Lastly, the Chili Con Rice Bowl is a culinary masterpiece, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures that is sure to please even the most discerning palate. It’s a meal in itself, providing a satisfying and memorable dining experience.
