Hey fellow foodies! If you’ve ever walked into an S&R Membership Shopping club, you know that the distinct, mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked dough and bubbling cheese hits you long before you even see the food court.

Today, we are diving deep into the ultimate comfort food destination: S&R New York Style Pizza. Whether you are loading up a cart at the warehouse or dropping by one of their standalone mall outlets, S&R serves up some of the most massive, satisfying American-style comfort food in the Philippines. For me it's one of the best pizza chains in the metro! Here is my definitive review of what makes it a household favorite!



🍕 Background: Big Slices, Big Value

S&R New York Style Pizza started as the food court anchor inside S&R Membership Shopping clubs, heavily inspired by the classic warehouse club food courts in the US (like Costco). Because Filipinos couldn't get enough of those giant 18-inch pies, they launched standalone quick-service restaurants in major malls nationwide.


You don't even need a membership card to eat at the mall branches! The concept remains exactly the same: huge portions, high-quality imported ingredients, and incredibly affordable prices.


Menu & Prices

Note: Prices are approximate and may vary slightly depending on whether you dine in at a warehouse, visit a mall branch, or order via food delivery apps.

What to Try (My Personal Favorites!)

If you are wondering what to order on your next visit, you absolutely cannot go wrong with my holy trinity of S&R comfort food:


1. The Combo Pizza (The Ultimate Flavor)

Hands down, the Combo Pizza is my absolute favorite flavor on the menu. It is the definitive New York-style slice: huge, foldable, and loaded to the absolute edge. You get a perfect blend of savory pork pepperoni, Italian sausage crumbles, earthy black olives, roasted white onions, and green bell peppers. The crust is beautifully golden and crisp on the bottom, yet soft and chewy on the inside, keeping all those heavy, cheesy toppings perfectly supported.


2. The Cheeseburger

For just ₱102, S&R’s classic Cheeseburger puts many fast-food chains to shame. It features a 100% all-beef patty that actually tastes like real, grilled beef, layered with sliced cheddar cheese and their signature tangy burger sauce inside a soft Kaiser bun. If you are feeling extra hungry, go for the Double Cheeseburger—it is pure, juicy perfection.


3. Southern Style Fried Chicken

Don't sleep on their Fried Chicken! S&R’s chicken pieces are notoriously massive. The skin is incredibly crunchy and heavily seasoned with a distinct Southern-style herb blend, while the meat stays intensely juicy and tender on the inside. Paired with their rich, savory gravy, it easily rivals the country's top chicken joints.


Branches

You can satisfy your cravings at two types of locations across the Philippines:

  • S&R Membership Warehouses: Found in major hubs like BGC, Congessional, Alabang, Aseana, Shaw Boulevard, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Pampanga, and more.

  • S&R New York Style Pizza (Mall Outlets): Located in leading malls including SM Supermalls (like SM North EDSA and SM Megamall), Ayala Malls (Trinoma, UP Town Center), and Robinsons Malls.



🛵 Delivery, Website, and Other Details


Official Website: You can view the full menu and order directly via snrpizza.com.

Online Delivery: Available widely on Foodpanda and GrabFood.

Pro-Tip: If you love customization, they offer excellent Two-in-One (Half & Half) 18" pizzas if you want to pair the classic Combo with Pepperoni or Garlic Shrimp.

S&R New York Style Pizza remains unmatched when it comes to serving massive, unapologetic American comfort food that doesn't break the bank. Whether you are treating the family to a giant 18-inch Combo pie, grabbing a quick, juicy cheeseburger, or sharing a bucket of incredibly crispy fried chicken, it always hits the spot.

S&R New York Style Pizza Review: Menu Prices, Branches, and Must-Try Flavors


Taiwan is a certified paradise for food lovers. When my wife Rachel and I, along with our TB friends, jetted off for a 3-day trip in May 2025, we had one main goal: eat our way through Taipei and its scenic outskirts. From bustling night markets and hidden basement stalls to cozy cafes and surprisingly elite convenience stores, we tried a bit of everything.

To help you track our food map, here is the chronological, story-by-story narrative of every place and restaurant we visited, along with the typical prices for each delicious bite!

Day 1: Mountain Cravings and Ximending Neon Lights


1. FamilyMart (MRT Ximen Station)

Our adventure started early in the morning. Bleary-eyed but buzzing with excitement, we stepped off the train at MRT Ximen Station. Needing some quick fuel before heading out to the mountains, we ducked into a FamilyMart. We grabbed a simple Chiffon Bread (~NT$35). It was surprisingly soft, airy, and the perfect light bite to kickstart our morning commute.

If there's one reason why we would want to go back to Taiwan, this is it! 🇹🇼🍴

2. Street Stall at Wulai Old Street (Before the Log Cart)

By 9:00 AM, we arrived at the beautiful, misty streets of Wulai. Because it was so early, the mountain air was crisp and most of the shops were still tightly shuttered. Luckily for us, one solitary stall was up and running just before the ascend to the Wulai Log Cart.

Wild Boar Sausage

We couldn't resist the aroma and ordered their Taiwanese Grilled Boar Sausage (~NT$35) and Millet Mochi (~NT$20). 

Millet Mochi

The sausage was incredibly savory, juicy, and snapped perfectly with every bite, while the mochi was delightfully chewy with a beautifully toasted, sweet exterior.


3. Wulai Yun Sien Resort

After riding the cable car and making our way up to the resort grounds, we treated ourselves to some Ginie Ice Cream (~NT$50–NT$80) for an afternoon snack. It was cool, creamy, and exactly the refreshing pick-me-up we needed after walking around the property.

4. Treasure Island Nostalgic Eatery (Wulai Old Street)

Heading back down to the old street for lunch, we stumbled upon this cozy restaurant featuring stunning, uninterrupted views of the turquoise Nanshi River. We managed to snag a great table and eagerly ordered the chef’s top recommendations: Dried Radish Egg (~NT$150), Bamboo Rice (~NT$80), and Pork Ribs (~NT$200).

Lunch at Treasure Island Nostalgic Eatery

The egg was incredibly fluffy and packed with traditional savory flavor, the bamboo rice was aromatic and perfectly steamed inside the stalk, and the pork ribs were beautifully tender.


5. Souvenir Shop (Wulai Old Street)

On our way back to the bus station, a sweet scent drew us into a local souvenir shop where the staff offered us a free taste of Dried Strawberries. They hit the absolute perfect balance of tart and sweet, so we immediately bought a few packs (~NT$150 per pack) to snack on for the journey back to Taipei.

6. inn cafe (Lane 27, Chengdu Road, Ximending)

By mid-afternoon, we were back in Ximending hunting for the famous bubble tea chain, Xing Fu Tang. However, the massive, winding line completely tested our patience. Rachel and I decided to ditch the queue and just stroll around the alleyways instead. We ended up finding this cozy hideaway along Chengdu Road to relax a bit.

inn cafe

We ordered a Sicilian Coffee (~NT$130), a Mocha (~NT$140), and a plate of Chocolate Banana Waffles (~NT$180). The Sicilian coffee was sharp and citrusy, the mocha was rich, and the waffles were beautifully crisp on the outside—turning a skipped line into a total win.


7. Mala Hot Pot (2F of Wenting Hot Pot, Xining Road, Ximending)

We headed over to Taipei 101 later that afternoon, but decided to skip the food there to save room for a grand dinner. We ended up back in Ximending on the second floor of Wenting Hot Pot along Xining Road. 

Mala Hot Pot

At Mala Hot Pot, for NTD$ 800 per head (inclusive of dinner rates and service charge), we got an all-you-can-eat, unlimited hot pot feast. The broths were deeply complex, the meat cuts were premium, and boiling everything at our table was the ultimate, comforting way to close out our first day.



Day 2: Coastline, Flying Lanterns, and a Shared Table


8. 7-Eleven

Day two was all about exploration, as we availed of a classic day tour to Yehliu, Shifen, and Jiufen. To get an early start, Rachel and I fueled up with a quick convenience store breakfast. We grabbed hot Coffee (~NT$45), a Salmon Onigiri (~NT$35), and a Clubhouse Sandwich (~NT$45). Taiwan’s 7-Elevens are truly elite, giving us a fresh, easy start before meeting our tour group.


9. Yay Cafe (Yehliu Geopark)

Our first official stop was the otherworldly coastline of Yehliu. As we walked among the unique rock formations, our awesome tour guide treated the group to smooth, creamy Milk Tea (~NT$60, though free for us!). Holding a cold, classic milk tea while feeling the ocean breeze was pure bliss.


10. Shifen Old Street

By midday, we reached our second stop for a street food brunch before flying our sky lantern. We hit the tracks and tracked down two legendary items: Rice-Stuffed Chicken Wings (~NT$65) and a Peanut Ice Cream Roll (~NT$50).


The chicken wing, deboned and stuffed to the brim with seasoned fried rice, was an absolute flavor bomb. The ice cream roll—which combines shaved peanut brittle, ice cream scoops, and fresh cilantro wrapped in a thin crepe—sounded bizarre on paper, but was an incredible mix of sweet, salty, and fresh.

Note: While there were plenty of tempting food options lining the path to the Shifen Waterfall, we held off to save room for the mountains.


11. Local Eatery (Jiufen Old Street)

When we reached our final tour stop in the mountain town of Jiufen, the alleys were packed. Ducking away from the dense crowds, we found a small, welcoming local diner.


We ordered a comforting spread of Shrimp Fried Rice (~NT$100), a Scallion Omelet (~NT$100), and a plate of plump Dumplings (~NT$80). The fried rice had that perfect wok hei (breath of the wok), and the hot dishes were exactly what we needed to re-energize.


12. Local Noodle Stall (Emei Street corner Lane 133 Chengdu Road)

Exhausted but happy, the tour dropped us back in Ximending. For a late-night meal close to our hotel (the Ximen Citizen Hotel), Rachel and I stopped at a small roadside eatery right on the corner. We ordered a steaming, comforting bowl of Noodle Soup (~NT$90).

Emei Street corner Lane 133 Chengdu Road

Because the place was packed, we ended up sharing a table with a lovely German expat couple who had been living in Taiwan for years working for a tech company. Warm soup, rich broth, and unexpected global connections—the perfect end to day two.


Day 3: Rainy Comforts and a Double Dinner Finale


13. Pang Niu Niu (Section 2, Guiyang Street)

Our third day was our designated free day, and it greeted us with a gloomy, rainy morning. Looking for a hearty brunch to warm us up, we walked over to Guiyang Street and found this humble local food stall.

Scallion Pancakes and Hot Soy Bean Milk 


We ordered our absolute favorite—Scallion Pancakes (~NT$40)—which were beautifully crispy, flaky, and golden. We also decided to try Hot Soy Bean Milk (~NT$25) for the very first time. It was incredibly comforting and the perfect antidote to the rainy weather outside.


14. Mister Donut (Carrefour Guilin Store)

With the rain still coming down, we headed over to the massive Carrefour Guilin store to do some souvenir shopping. Before hitting the grocery aisles, we spotted a Mister Donut kiosk and just had to stop. We tried their famous Pon de Chocolate (~NT$39).

Mister Donut

The texture of their Pon de Ring style is uniquely wonderful—chewy like mochi, and coated in a rich chocolate glaze.


15. Lao Shan Dong (Michelin Old Noodle House)

By afternoon, our friend suggested a legendary, Michelin-recommended old noodle house hidden away in the basement of the Wan Nian Building. We went straight for their famous Beef Noodle Soup (~NT$180), which features thick, handmade noodles.

Lao Shan Dong Handmade Noodles

To be totally honest, the noodles themselves were a bit too thick for my personal taste, as I usually prefer thinner strands. However, the broth was an absolute masterpiece—deep, rich, complex, and packed with umami, and the beef was incredibly tender.


16. Roadside Fried Rice Store (Lane 82, Section 2 Wuchang Street)

You can't leave Taiwan without pushing your stomach to its absolute limits, so the full gang gathered for "Dinner Part 1" at a humble roadside store right across from the Kicks Center along the alleyroad. We ordered plates of their local Fried Rice (~NT$90). It was simple, expertly tossed, and hit the spot perfectly when eaten on low plastic stools by the roadside.


17. Alleyway Food Market (Lane 50, Section 2 Wuchang Street)

To cap off the entire trip, as Rachel and I were walking back to our hotel room, we stumbled upon a small evening food market in the area.

Taiwanese Chicken

The aroma of spices was too good to pass up, so we bought a bag of classic Taiwanese Fried Chicken (~NT$70–NT$100) to bring back to our room. Eating crispy, five-spice seasoned chicken in our room was the ultimate, delicious final note to our journey.

The Tour Day Savings: Day 2 was incredibly budget-friendly because you focused heavily on street food snacks like the chicken wings and peanut ice cream rolls rather than expensive sit-down tourist traps.

The Local Advantage: Our third day proved how affordable Taiwan can be when you lean into local breakfast stalls (like Pang Niu Niu) and classic roadside stir-fries!

Conclusion

Three days in Taiwan flew by in a beautiful blur of stunning scenery and unforgettable flavors. Looking back at our May 2025 trip, what made the food so incredibly special wasn't just the taste of the local dishes, but the memories baked right into them.

I’ll always remember shivering in the mountain air of Wulai with a warm boar sausage in hand, laughing with our friends over roadside fried rice, and sharing a table with strangers over midnight noodles. Taiwan completely captured our hearts and our appetites, and Rachel and I are already planning what we’re going to order on our next trip back!

BigBunny login searches usually come from players who are exploring online gaming options and trying to decide where to spend their time.

Before creating an account, many users compare available platforms, evaluate game selections, and look at what each service offers beyond basic casino entertainment.

With so many online casinos operating today, choosing a platform has become less about finding a place to play and more about finding a place worth returning to.



The Philippine online gaming market has grown significantly over the years. As competition has increased, platforms have introduced similar features to attract users.

Secure registration systems, mobile-friendly websites, digital payment support, and streamlined verification processes are now expected rather than exceptional.

Most established gaming websites provide these features because players demand convenience and accessibility.

Because these services have become standard, game selection often becomes the deciding factor. A platform may have an efficient login system, but players eventually judge it based on the experiences available after they sign in.

The ability to explore different game types, participate in events, and enjoy long-term entertainment can have a greater impact than the registration process itself.

This is where comparisons between Bigbunny and GameZone become interesting. While both operate within the online gaming space, they approach player engagement differently.

Bigbunny focuses on the traditional casino model, while GameZone expands its offerings to include gaming experiences that many Filipino players already know and enjoy.

Understanding those distinctions helps explain why some users begin with a Bigbunny login search but ultimately spend time evaluating what GameZone brings to the table.


BigBunny Follows the Traditional Online Casino Formula

The structure of Bigbunny will feel familiar to anyone who has used an online casino before. After registration and account verification, players can access a collection of gaming categories that are common throughout the industry.

These include slot games, live dealer tables, sports betting opportunities, and various arcade-style titles.

There is nothing unusual about this setup. In fact, it reflects the formula that many successful casino platforms use.

By bringing several gaming categories together under one account, users can move between different activities without needing multiple registrations.

Bigbunny also follows industry practices when it comes to account security. Identity verification procedures help protect player accounts and support responsible platform management.

These measures are particularly important because users conduct financial transactions and manage personal information through their gaming profiles.

For players whose interests revolve primarily around casino content, this structure can be appealing. Slots, live games, and sports betting continue to attract large audiences because they offer familiar forms of entertainment that are easy to access.

However, the traditional casino model has limitations. Many platforms provide similar categories, making it difficult for any single operator to stand apart.

When multiple websites offer comparable slots and table games, players often begin searching for something that feels different from the standard experience.

That search for variety has encouraged many users to look beyond conventional casino content and explore platforms that incorporate additional forms of gaming.



GameZone: Casino Games and Filipino Classics

Rather than limiting itself to standard casino categories, GameZone broadens its appeal by combining international casino classics with table games commonly played in Filipino culture.

Tongits is one of the clearest examples. Long before digital gaming became widespread, Tongits was already a favorite card game in households and social gatherings across the country.

The game rewards observation, timing, and strategic decision-making, making it a natural fit for competitive online play. GameZone's inclusion of Tongits allows players to enjoy a game they already understand within a modern gaming environment.

Pusoy Dos provides another layer of variety. Unlike many casino games that depend heavily on chance, Pusoy Dos emphasizes planning and card management.

Players must think ahead, evaluate their options carefully, and respond to the actions of opponents throughout each match.

By integrating these titles into its platform, GameZone offers something that many traditional casinos cannot easily replicate.

Players gain access to internationally recognized gaming categories while also enjoying card games that reflect local interests and traditions.

The result is a platform with broader appeal. A user who begins the day playing slots can later join a Tongits match or compete in Pusoy Dos without switching platforms.


Why GameZone Continues to Attract More Attention

When comparing online gaming platforms, players often focus on the features that affect their everyday experience.

Reliable access, secure transactions, convenient payment methods, and game variety all contribute to whether a platform remains enjoyable over the long term.

GameZone performs strongly in these areas while also offering something many competitors lack: local relevance.

The platform recognizes that Filipino players enjoy a mix of international gaming content and traditional card games.

By supporting both, it creates a more balanced environment than platforms that focus exclusively on casino entertainment.

Accessibility also plays an important role. Players can access the platform through mobile devices, complete verification requirements, and use familiar payment services such as GCash, Maya, and QR PH-supported options.

The platform further strengthens engagement through promotions, events, and ongoing content updates.

Rather than presenting a static collection of games, GameZone regularly introduces new opportunities for players to participate and explore different activities.

For users researching Bigbunny login options, these differences are worth considering. Bigbunny provides a conventional online casino experience that many players will recognize immediately.

GameZone, meanwhile, delivers a broader ecosystem that combines casino games, Tongits, Pusoy Dos, and other experiences within a single platform.

That wider approach to entertainment helps explain why GameZone continues to stand out among Filipino players looking for more than the standard online casino formula.



FAQs

A: No. The two platforms operate independently.

In a major move for digital banking in the country, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has announced that it will permanently eliminate transaction fees for interbank fund transfers made via InstaPay and PESONet beginning July 1.

The policy shift applies across BPI’s primary digital banking channels, providing significant relief to millions of retail consumers and business clients alike.



Broad Digital Platform Coverage

According to reports obtained by InsiderPH, the zero-fee transaction structure will be rolled out natively across BPI's entire modern digital ecosystem. Supported platforms include:

BPI Mobile App: The flagship mobile application for retail banking.

BPI Online: The standard desktop and web banking browser platform.

VYBE: BPI's proprietary digital e-wallet.

BizKo: The dedicated platform optimized for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

To take advantage of the permanent waiver on July 1, individual users are advised to update their applications to the latest build released on June 25 via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Huawei AppGallery.



Aligning with Central Bank Objectives

The policy update impacts over nine million registered BPI application users, who can now move money to other banking institutions and major e-wallets without facing standard deduction fees.



The decision directly complements recent directives from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which has actively pushed domestic financial entities to lower financial barriers and deploy market-based, customer-friendly pricing structures for peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic fund transfers. BPI noted that this structural shift aims to drive national financial inclusion and accelerate the domestic transition toward a cash-lite economy.

Milestone Initiative for 175th Anniversary
As the country’s oldest bank prepares for its historic 175th anniversary on August 1, the elimination of electronic transfer fees stands out as one of its most customer-centric digital strategies in recent history.



By removing transaction costs for both real-time clearing networks (InstaPay) and large-batch processing systems (PESONet), BPI reduces everyday friction for consumers, making digital financial management more accessible and affordable for Filipinos nationwide.
