⚲ Aunty Su's Pizza House 🍕
Located at the MRT Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station, next to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Zhongshan Park, this is an old-school pizza shop.
"Delicious pizza can't be rushed!" is a slogan from the dining table.
During mealtime, especially on holidays, you really have to line up patiently!
Although the exterior is simple and unpretentious, the dishes are aromatic and delicious.
I’ve been craving this place for a while (I haven’t eaten here in too long 🤤).
· Order —
Appetizers:
Today's selected soup of the day
A bowl filled with plenty of mushrooms
and tender shredded chicken in a mushroom clear soup.
Garlic bread
Classic-style garlic bread
that pairs nicely with a thick soup.
3 pieces of Dongbeila fried chicken (+ fries)
Taiwanese-style fried chicken
with a thin crispy skin and tender meat.
It’s served hot 🔥, so be careful not to burn your mouth,
but it’s filled with chicken juice and has a tender texture.
So delicious 🤤.
For pizza, I chose the seafood essence flavor on both visits.
Small size - Thin crust.
Packed with filling, you can taste crab meat and shrimp in every bite.
The thin crust is slightly crispy, but I personally still prefer the one with a bit of doughy fragrance (the first time I ordered the thick crust).
Next time, I want to try the thick crust pizza!
It’s currently my favorite flavor (I’ll try different flavors next time XD).
After finishing the meal, two people were really full!
You can’t really choose too many varieties,
so I suggest gathering more people to share the food!
That way you can enjoy a more varied meal!

Dickson’s Fooday Review #269
This time I am here to review a pizza place that I personally think is super delicious!!
This pizza shop is located near Tonghua Street.
Although the shop looks small,
their pizza is really super delicious!!
Don't underestimate this shop.
They have quite a variety of pizzas,
and they also offer different seasonal flavors!
Additionally, I think the prices are reasonable.
Most importantly, the flavors are quite distinct and unique~~
Moreover, some flavors are not available at other pizza places!
For this shop, I personally recommend takeaway.
After all, there isn't much seating inside,
and many times, you might have to stand outside in the open area to eat your pizza.
They also sell pizza by the slice or as a whole pie, depending on the size.
It’s best to tell the shop in advance what flavors and quantities you want,
and then come back at the designated time to pick up your order.
I personally recommend this method:
First, decide what flavors you want to eat,
then happily come here to place your order,
and finally take the pizza home for a big feast.
Just thinking about it makes me so happy!!
I can only say that the pizzas here are truly delicious.
If you’re preparing food for gatherings,
I would definitely recommend ordering a few boxes of pizza here first.
At the gathering, the food you prepare will surely be the best!

👉 Spicy Maple Bacon $170
This flavor of pizza is really special.
You can taste the sweetness of the maple syrup,
but it also has a bit of spiciness.
The conflicting flavors make it truly impressive!
Although it has a hint of spiciness,
I think this level of heat should be acceptable to most people~
However, this makes the overall flavor of the pizza quite amazing!
👉 Matsusaka Bacon Pineapple $170
Although the combination of Matsusaka bacon and pineapple on pizza seems common,
the overall flavor created by this pizza shop is just fantastic!
Overall, all the flavors of pizza I’ve tried here are really fantastic.
It’s somewhat hard to describe just how good it is,
but it’s completely different from what you typically find at pizza chains!
Friends who love pizza really must come here to try it out,
especially since you can order a small slice here.
It’s really convenient to eat on the spot~~
Additionally, you can see the actual pizzas displayed in the shop windows,
which makes it easy to know what flavors you want or don’t want.
In summary, in my opinion, this is truly one of the top pizza places in Taipei!
⭐️ Service
When ordering at this small shop,
the staff are very enthusiastic about introducing the different pizza flavors,
and they will let you know the estimated waiting time.
At this point, you can stroll around nearby and come back to pick up your pizza~
So for the service, I think it is quite standard!
⭐️ Price
Actually, I think the prices at this pizza place are not too expensive,
especially since their pizza flavors are quite unique and delicious.
Moreover, it’s very considerate that we can choose to just order a slice.
For those who need a whole pizza,
you can also choose to buy an entire pie to take home.
So the price options are quite flexible!
I think this is really great.
You can enjoy different flavors of pizza at quite an affordable price.
It truly benefits us single folks 😂😂😂
⭐️ Overall
I think the pizzas at this shop are really quite good.
However, the main focus is on the pizza,
so if you need other types of food,
you would have to go somewhere else.
But in terms of pizza, they perform exceptionally well.
If I'm going to buy pizza,
this place would definitely be my first choice!
I highly recommend everyone to come and try it out!
The "8818 Pizza Restaurant" has been on my must-try list for quite some time, and I finally found the time to check it out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite nice, especially with the thoughtful decorations for Halloween. There were portraits of celebrities eating pizza and fried chicken hanging on the walls, like Bruce Lee, Michael Jackson, and Marilyn Monroe, which immediately gives a relaxed and humorous vibe as soon as you walk in.
This time, I ordered the seafood pizza and the Mexican chili pizza, both of which were quite delicious. Their pizzas are generously topped, especially the seafood pizza, which has plenty of fresh ingredients. The Mexican chili pizza has a moderate spiciness with a hint of tang from the chili, paired with rich cheese, creating a well-balanced flavor. The pizza crust is thin, but not overly crispy; it has a bit of elasticity that makes it chewy, which I quite like—it gives a satisfying and hearty feeling when you eat it.
I noticed some diners at another table enjoying the fried chicken, and it looked very appetizing, making me want to order it too 🤤. However, the price is a bit on the higher side, so I decided to skip it this time and try it next time. Overall, "8818 Pizza Restaurant" not only offers great dishes, but the environment and ambiance are also very comfortable, making it a perfect place to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends.
"Pizza Hut" is probably familiar to everyone, as they always introduce some creative and taste-bud-challenging unique flavored pizzas, constantly pushing the boundaries for Italians. This year, especially with their Halloween and baseball-themed pizzas, they came up with new twists. However, my experience this time was rather disappointing. This review specifically addresses the pizzas I tasted this time.
Let's start with this year's Halloween pizza. The toppings on this pizza include black pudding, century eggs, and black squid tentacles, which indeed present a visual impact, but the overall taste performance wasn't very good. There was a new attempt with the crust; they replaced the cheese-stuffed crust with "spicy tomato mochi," which feels like fusing tomato sauce and chili sauce into mochi. I thought this combination was quite interesting, but my colleagues were not accustomed to the taste.
Next is the baseball park pizza, which features different toppings for different areas, like the "third base inner area" packed with ham slices that were too salty to swallow, while the outer base area was too bland, as if no salt was added at all. The most frustrating part was the base pads section, which they made with small meatballs, but these meatballs had a strong gamey taste, suggesting they might not have been fresh enough.
Overall, these two unique flavored pizzas were very disappointing. The creativity might have been an attempt to create a buzz, but the flavors indeed hit a landmine. If you're going to Pizza Hut, I would advise skipping these limited-edition flavors and going back to order some classic pizzas to be on the safe side!
Location: London, England
After visiting Cambridge University, I returned to King's Cross Station, where there is a real Platform 9¾. After wandering around the station, I rushed to the pizza place I had researched beforehand because the reviews online stated it had great value for money. Filled with anticipation, I stepped into the restaurant.
🌟 Pepperoni
It has a texture similar to American-style sausage. The base is primarily tomato sauce, but with the seasoned sausage, the flavor is heavier compared to others. It's perfect for a guilty pleasure like pizza, and it truly deserves its top recommendation online.
🌟 Tropicali
This is what everyone commonly refers to as Hawaiian pizza. Since my personal favorite flavor is Hawaiian, I found that the taste is quite similar to what I've had in Taiwan. Overall, while it may lack distinctiveness, I still gave it a high score because I love Hawaiian pizza.
🌟 I can't finish pizza without a drink, so I chose the boring Coca-Cola. However, the price for the Coke is quite steep, costing £1.90 for a cup (which is similar to Taiwan where drinks are quite profitable 🥺).
Overall, the pizza crust is a type of wood-fired thin crust. By the end, I could truly taste the aroma of the dough, and unlike in Taiwan, I don’t find myself discarding the last bits of crust. The best part is that this restaurant is right next to one of the biggest stations in London and is surprisingly affordable yet delicious. We ordered two whole 12-inch pizzas for just over £20, which is an amazing deal. I highly recommend everyone to try it if you visit King's Cross Station to see the Harry Potter Platform 9¾!
Today is the return trip after visiting Oxford University. By the time we got back, there weren't many dining options near the hotel, so we decided to eat at a Pizza Hut located in the food court of a department store. The difference from Pizza Hut in Taiwan is that, perhaps because it's an express version, everything comes as individual meals - personal pizzas, personal fries, and a drink each. We just happened to see a combo with four flavors, and it seemed super affordable, so we decided to have that for dinner.
🌟 Margherita Pizza
It had a nice balance of tomato and cheese flavors, quite even and without any overpowering taste issues. Overall, it was quite acceptable.
🌟 American Sausage Pizza
This was my favorite among the four options. I rated it No. 1, as the flavor was quite rich. The American sausage combined with the sauce was outstanding, completely satisfying my craving for pizza.
🌟 Super Chicken Pizza
Actually, the taste wasn't bad either. The chicken didn't turn out too dry from baking. Overall, it was delicious, but the part that ruined it for me was the bell peppers. I personally really dislike bell peppers and feel they ruin everything, so no matter how delicious the chicken was, I couldn’t give it a good rating. 🤪🤪🤪
🌟 Vegetable and Fresh Mushroom Pizza
I wanted to choose four different pizzas, and at that time, I wasn't sure what to select, so I just randomly picked this one. The taste leaned towards being a bit bland, and it was vegetarian-friendly, so it didn't leave much of an impression overall. Plus, it also had bell peppers, so (next one down).
🌟 Fries
This time, we had fries with almost every meal. The fries at Pizza Hut are quite similar to the ones at KFC in Taiwan. They have a crisp texture, and since we were dining in the food court, they were really crispy and delicious – much better than the McDonald's fries we had in the UK a few days ago. 😂😂
🌟 The drink was Pepsi.
The accompanying drink was basically from a soda fountain, belonging to the Pepsi brand. It tasted like standard Pepsi from anywhere in the world.
Overall, because we had the pizza dine-in, it was quite hot, and since we usually get takeaway pizza in Taiwan, this was a refreshing change. Consequently, it tasted very delicious. I highly recommend anyone looking for high-value pizza to try chain Pizza Hut; it’s a meal that won’t disappoint you.
The Pizza Hut Yongji Xinyi store is located at 88 Yongji Road Section 6, which is actually quite a distance from Yongji Road, but much closer to Xiangshan Station. The one that is actually on Yongji Road is called the Yongji Delivery Store.
Today, I enjoyed the Cilantro Wealthy Meat Soup Pizza, with two extra servings of cilantro, totaling 477 TWD.
Cilantro Wealthy Meat Soup Pizza:
This is a specialty pizza, but when I opened it, I was disappointed by the amount of cilantro, which was nowhere near what was shown in the advertisement.
The San Francisco-style crust maintained a good crispness and had a nice chewiness. The garlic meat soup, slightly salty with a hint of sweetness, was impeccable, making me want to drizzle a few drops of black vinegar on top. The garlic bits sprinkled on averaged out perfectly, enhancing the overall flavor.
Extra cilantro:
I originally thought it would be directly added to the pizza, but instead, we received two containers full of cilantro to add ourselves at home. Frankly, for the same price, I could have easily bought at least twice that amount of cilantro from the supermarket, which felt a bit awkward.
Although it was slightly pricey, the combination with the pizza still met expectations.
Overall, it’s a reliably good takeout pizza chain. I’ll look for opportunities to try other flavors in the future.
I recommend it to everyone.
🚩 Come eat New York-style pizza with Americans
Little New York Pizza is located in the bustling Eastern District of Taipei City, with a rather understated entrance that is easy to miss during lunchtime. Once inside, the space is surprisingly large, decorated in a somewhat American style with white walls and wooden tables. Some of the walls retain original brick textures, giving a casual and free feeling. The atmosphere is comfortable, but the tables are quite small, each topped with a metal rack (to elevate the pizzas). The ambiance improves at night when the white walls can be used for projections, making it a great place to drink beer and watch sports games.
Upon entering, choose your favorite spot. Today, we are a group of six and chose a seat up a few steps with glass brick windows. After sitting down, we scan the QR code on the table to order, with a minimum spend of $280 per person. Payment can be made in cash or by card after dining, and invoices are available.
The pizzas come in 12-inch and 20-inch sizes; the 12-inch can be divided into two flavors, and the 20-inch can be divided into four. Today we ordered one 12-inch pizza and one 20-inch with four flavors. The pizza is thin but has a great bite to it, and I personally recommend the traditional American flavors. Essentially, it consists of cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and tomato sauce 🤣, paired with hot fries and sugary carbonated drinks. There's no need for anything special like exotic meats or seafood; just chatting while eating makes it a fantastic pizza place.

Thanks to Fooday for the platform that allows me to eat and earn at the same time!
🤣🤣
Today, I'm going to try something fresh at "Pizza Rock."
This place specializes in pure American-style pizza, which is very popular among many foreigners. When dining here, I often encounter international guests! Today, I visited the branch located on Chongde Road in the North District of Taichung. I remember that this restaurant has been in operation for over 10 years. The American-style pizza satisfies the discerning taste buds of many food enthusiasts!
After ordering, please be patient as the food is made to order. During busy times, you may need to wait around 30 minutes!
Luckily, there weren't many people today, and the food was served quite quickly!
I've included comments along with the photos of my dining experience!
I hope that through my simple sharing, everyone can get to know this restaurant better. This is my recommended food spot that I will revisit!

This time, I'll be reviewing a well-known Italian pizza bistro!
This Old Oven Italian Pizza is a small but somewhat famous restaurant in Taipei, as its name suggests, specializing in pizza.
In addition to pizza, they also offer a variety of Italian dishes, including pasta and other European cuisine.
Indeed, after dining here, I can see why it has gained popularity and is difficult to book a table. Each dish is distinctive and doesn’t quite resemble the typical flavors found in Taiwan.
Of course, whether the food is delicious is subjective, but I can say that every dish leaves a memorable impression. Apart from that, the atmosphere of this place is quite pleasant, making it suitable for both romantic dates for two or gatherings with friends!
Additionally, the owners and staff are very warm-hearted. Even if their Chinese is not very good, they enthusiastically introduce each dish to us!
Although there was a bit of a miscommunication at times, you can really feel the owner's passion for each dish and their desire to share the history behind each meal!
As a pizza bistro, they also offer various drinks on the menu, including white and red wines and cocktails. Guests can mix and match as they like! The menu is rich with different dishes, making it quite challenging to try a bit of everything in one visit! 🤣🤣
So if you’re very interested in Italian cuisine and flavors from diverse countries like pizza, I personally highly recommend coming here to give it a try!

⭐️Food Section
The menu here offers a wide variety of flavors, from appetizers to main courses, including pasta and various side dishes. You can find almost everything on the menu.
On the day I visited with my friends, we ordered several different categories of dishes, starting with appetizers:
👉 Blue cheese with figs and prosciutto $550
This was the first appetizer served. The flavors of blue cheese and figs intertwine very complexly, but the prosciutto brings a strong meaty flavor. Together, these three create a new taste experience! 🤣🤣
👉 Venetian milk cod mousse with crispy corn cake $450
The name itself indicates its complexity, but simply put, it’s a corn cake topped with milk cod mousse. The portion is quite small, just enough for one bite.
The mousse is predominantly milky in flavor, and when paired with the corn cake, it’s also quite complex!
👉 Slow-cooked traditional duck leg ragu with handmade flat pasta $580
When this pasta dish arrived, it looked somewhat like a standard meat sauce pasta. However, the handmade flat pasta is quite wide!
The shredded duck is quite tender and not overwhelmingly flavorful. Personally, I found this pasta just okay. 🤣🤣
👉 Special chestnut sauce with pumpkin gnocchi and fresh truffle $650
This dish surprised me with its green hue when served! The gnocchi's shape is unique, and visually, it stands out!
In terms of flavor, since the gnocchi is primarily made from pumpkin, the overall taste is quite pumpkin-flavored. Although it mentions fresh truffles, the taste is not very strong. There are many spices involved, and you might even find bits of almonds and chestnuts, giving the dish a nutty flavor. 🤣🤣
👉 Tender seared duck breast with asparagus and candy beet with roselle truffle sauce $1100
This time, we ordered duck breast as our main dish, and the menu items are quite lengthy. I think the duck breast is handled very well.
However, the downside is that for its price, the portion is a bit too small. Besides the duck breast, it comes with asparagus and beets, paired with truffle sauce. The duck itself is well-prepared and delicious, while the beets and asparagus provide a complementary texture. If you’re looking to order a main dish, I definitely recommend the duck breast.
Now moving on to pizzas:
👉 Devil Pizza $440
Since we’re already here, how could we not order pizza? The pizzas come in various flavors, and the menu details the ingredients and contents, allowing everyone to see if there’s anything specific they want to try or avoid.
On that day, we ordered only one pizza, the Devil, which primarily consists of tomato red sauce, cheese, and salami. It’s a very basic, conservative choice.
When the pizza was served, it indeed looked like what you’d expect — a red tomato base topped with some salami.
As for the flavor of this pizza, I found it very okay. Since we chose a more common flavor, I didn't find anything particularly memorable about it, just that it was tasty and easy to eat.
Moving on to desserts, we ordered tiramisu that day. However, this tiramisu is primarily focused on the alcohol flavor. Such a flavor profile can be hit or miss for people, but personally, I really enjoy this boozy version. However, I think some people may find it hard to accept this authentic Italian soft and boozy tiramisu. 🤣🤣🤣
In the food section, the two types of pasta we ordered were quite distinct from what I had previously tasted – definitely special!
Regarding the pizza, this place primarily uses a thinner crust, with fillings depending on what customers order.
I believe the pizza here is quite good; however, since we were fewer in number that day and had ordered quite a few main dishes and pastas, we only chose one flavor of pizza. In terms of flavor, I think it’s above average, but perhaps because of the choices we made, there wasn’t anything too shocking.
However, the prices for various dishes are on the higher side. I think ordering pizza seems to be a better value for the money. The prices for pasta and entrees are slightly elevated, with smaller portions. Although the flavors are special, it depends on whether everyone can accept these more authentic European flavors.
I still highly recommend it for a visit! After all, these tastes and textures may not be commonly found elsewhere!
⭐️Drinks Section
When ordering at the beginning, the staff inquires whether you would like sparkling or regular water.
Of course, sparkling water incurs an extra charge, and that day they also opened a bottle of wine for everyone to share: Etna Rosso $1950. It was a very pleasant experience!
If you’re unsure about which wine pairs best with your meal, you can also consult the staff at the time, and I believe they will recommend suitable options!
⭐️Atmosphere Section
I found the atmosphere inside the restaurant quite great. The table and chair layout is spacious, and the distance between tables is not too close.
The ambiance leans towards an elegant and tranquil dimness, making it quite suitable for dates!
From outside, you can sense a foreign exotic flair, and upon entering, the decorations contribute to a high-quality atmosphere!
⭐️Service Section
Due to the fact that the owner is mainly a foreigner, sometimes during ordering or discussing dishes, they might not use Chinese effectively, leading to some miscommunication.
Nonetheless, you can see that the owner is very passionate and eager to introduce every dish and how to enjoy it, so in this aspect, I find the service quite excellent!
⭐️Price Section
I feel that each dish's portion in relation to its price is somewhat on the high side. Although it’s truly international cuisine, I think it’s acceptable to indulge in some different flavors occasionally. Still, I suggest checking the prices on the menu before deciding what to order.
Personally, I think the best value on the menu is the pizza.
If you’re coming here with a few friends, you can order two or three pizzas to share since each pizza’s portion is quite generous, similar to the usual sizes found in other pizza places.
For main courses or appetizers, you might need to consider the portion sizes shown in pictures online to get an idea.
As for the pasta, the portions are average, not overly large. For an adult male, one serving might not be enough. You'd likely need to order an appetizer and a main course, plus a few pizzas to feel satisfied.
Thus, dining here can turn out to be quite pricey! Especially since if you're in a good mood, you might also indulge in some drinks, the overall cost at this place can be considerable!
⭐️Location Section
This restaurant is located near the nearest MRT stations, Technology Building and Da’an Forest Park. So whether you’re using public transport or not, you will need to walk a bit to reach it. There isn't much special around the area.
Therefore, in terms of location, I think it’s just fairly okay.
⭐️Overall
I feel that this Italian pizza bistro resembles a European-style small restaurant. The variety of dishes is quite unique and each dish is above average and worth trying.
Given its extensive menu, I feel that you could visit multiple times to try everything!
Thus, I personally highly recommend coming here and would definitely consider returning! However, the challenging part might be to book a table! 🤣🤣🤣
🤪 Dixon's Foodie Chat 🤪
I’m sure many girls enjoy pizza or pasta! I also believe many have dreams of visiting Europe and want to travel there.
So why not take her to this Old Oven Italian Pizza Bistro? Since we can't visit Europe lately, at least we can enjoy pizza and European cuisine here!
Plus, the lighting and atmosphere are great! I believe the girls will be very happy coming here!
Just imagine: bringing a girl here for delicious pizza and pasta—doesn’t that enhance your relationship even more?! 😍😍😍😍
Catch you next time on Dixon's Foodie Chronicles! 🤪
