When our team met with the a mano team for the first time, it was pretty fun trying out different flavor combinations together. So much so that we ended up with not just one pizza, but three. ” </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b942ddf9-6ac5-4d9b-9115-db63126d3d9c_portrait.2.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The collaborative team from a mano, Toyo Eatery, and Good Food Community <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> AF Hospitality   </em></span></span></span></span></div><p>The Pizza Kamayan pizzas are priced as follows: the Margarita is PhP 650, the Tortang Talong is PhP 810, and the Pinya at Lechon is PhP 940.
