Random searching at Zomato Philippines led me to Nolita, a gourmet pizza place located at Bonifacio High Street. The words “New York-style pizza” immediately caught my attention, because that means their pizzas must be are large and thin and crispy at the base.
What we were not prepared for was the price. Mahal sya ha!
But the pizzas look inviting so gave them a try.
Pesto-Grilled Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomato (P250.00 per slice). Pikit-mata kong in-order ito because its price can already buy me 2 slices of pizzas and an order of french fries at S&R. But I was curious to find out why it’s so freaking expensive, plus there’s only 1 slice of this available when we ordered so I figured that it must be that good.
It turned out to be really good! Real pesto sauce was used (the same sauce used in making pesto pasta) then topped generously with cheeses (I tasted 2 varieties here but totally forgot to ask what they are!), grilled chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. The pizza base was baked well but not that crispy as I expected it to be. However, I appreciated that there were no burnt parts because I dislike eating those in a pizza crust. Pwede na for P250.00.
Cheeseburger (P210.00 per slice). This was AJ’s order. Compared to the Pesto-Grilled Chicken / Sun-Dried Tomato pizza, this one lacked oomph. The chunky burger bites tasted so-so. Better skip this one.
We also ordered their Honey Garlic Buffalo Wings (P330.00), which were served hot and tasted okay. But for the price of P330.00, I can already have a dozen-size order at Wingman or Frankie’s.
Sorry but I wasn’t overall impressed with the food at Nolita. The P200++ price tag for a pizza slice is too much. For P400.00, we can order this famous rolled-up pizza by Chef Chris at Recess:
May pizza ka na, may alfalfa sprouts and arugula leaves ka pa =) Now that’s an epicurean delight worthy of its price!

![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜
