From Seoul to Soul: Must-Try Eats at SM City Grand Central and SM City Valenzuela

As someone who lives for discovering hidden foodie gems, I thought I’d seen it all when it comes to mall eats—until my latest cravings led me north.

SM City Grand Central and SM City Valenzuela are now home to two delicious newcomers that deliver bold flavors, great value, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you're craving Korean-inspired pizza or a nostalgic sandwich with a twist, here's why your next food trip should start here.

Eat Pizza at SM City Grand Central: Korean Flavor, Pizza Fun

Let me just say—this isn’t your typical pizza place. Eat Pizza, a vibrant Korean pizza concept, recently landed at SM City Grand Central, and it’s been winning over K-food lovers (like me!) one rectangular slice at a time.

Each pizza is made with handmade dough, 100% natural cheese, and fresh toppings that are cooked right when you order. Their unique 10-inch rectangular pies are not only IG-worthy but also super satisfying. Prices start at just ₱99, and flavors range from the classic (Cheese, Pepperoni) to the adventurous (Hot & Spicy Bulgogi, Samgyeopsal, and Beef Bulgogi) for only ₱179.

I went for the Hot & Spicy Bulgogi, and it was love at first bite—sweet, savory, spicy, and cheesy in all the right ways. Whether you’re a K-drama fan or just looking for a new flavor experience, Eat Pizza is like taking a quick culinary trip to Seoul without ever leaving the metro.

Grandma’s Sandwich at SM City Valenzuela: Comfort Food with a Twist

Now, over at SM City Valenzuela, I found myself drawn to the cozy charm of Grandma’s Sandwich—and honestly, it felt like a warm hug in food form.

This spot celebrates the art of simple, hearty, and healthy sandwiches. Think grilled wheat bread, whole ingredients, and flavors that feel like they came straight from your Lola’s kitchen. My personal fave? The Grilled Tuna Cheese Melt—crispy on the outside, gooey and flavorful inside.

But don’t sleep on their creative options! The Grilled Cali Maki Sandwich and Grandma’s Tapa pack bold Filipino fusion flavors, while the Banapple (banana + apple + peanut butter) is a surprisingly delightful sweet bite. Plus, their truffle pasta, air-fried fries, and refreshing drinks make this place a go-to for guilt-free comfort food.

Why You Should Visit Both

Whether you’re flying solo, on a casual date, or hanging out with the barkada, these two new foodie spots bring something fresh and exciting to your mall dining experience. Eat Pizza serves Korean flavor with every bite, while Grandma’s Sandwich delivers feel-good food that hits right in the nostalgia.

Two different vibes, one shared goal: to make you feel at home while serving up something memorable.

So go ahead—take that bite. Your next favorite meal might just be waiting at SM City Grand Central or SM City Valenzuela.
