Pizza Marzano, or Pizza Express as it now seems to be wanting to be known, is pretty widespread around Jakarta. Although I'm particularly a fan of the one in Kemang, I have seen many dotted around the city satisfying customers with their pizzas and pastas. Why do I particularly like the one in Kemang? Mainly because, it sits at the corner of a busy crossroads and while you nibble on your pizza crust you can really see the craziness that is Jakarta zooming by the window. Another reason I'm a fan? Well, with my ever-expanding waistband, I was delighted to stumble across their 500 calorie meal offer. It is a super thin crust pizza with a hole cut in the middle and filled with salad. I like the one with the jalapeños, mozzarella and salami. It gives a bit of a kick to the dish. The other option is more basic. At least there are two choices though. When it came to the table it looked so good that I couldn't wait to dig in and almost forgot to take a photo! Considering you are eating pizza and it's only 500 calories, this is very satisfying. The crust was thin and crispy while the toppings were generous. The salad was a decent helping and topped with sown cheese and light dressing. I felt nicely content after it and only needed to finish off with a cappuccino. If you are not trying to watch your waistline, fear not, there is also an excellent selection of regular gajillion calorie pizzas and pastas (I've tried a few on occasion). So, next time you need that pizza fix, stop by this charming restaurant where you can get the fix a little less guiltily...now that's got to make you feel better any day of the week!
