The Wholesome Table Bacon & Egg Pizza Review in EDSA Shangri-La

First Impressions: A Comforting Organic Pizza

The Bacon & Egg Pizza from The Wholesome Table arrives looking reassuringly familiar, yet thoughtfully composed. A sunny side up egg sits prominently at the center, its yolk still glossy, surrounded by generous pieces of smoked bacon over a base of melted cheese and tomato sauce.

Visually, it leans more toward rustic comfort than visual flair. The toppings are abundant and evenly spread, giving the pizza a hearty, filling appearance that feels more substantial than your average slice.

Crust: Soft and Supportive, But Lacking Crunch

The crust does its job structurally. It supports the toppings well, holding together even with the weight of the egg and bacon. Each slice can be lifted without collapsing, which is no small feat given the topping load.

That said, the crust falls slightly short in texture. It remains more soft than crisp, especially toward the center, and could benefit from more time in the oven or a higher bake temperature. A crispier base would add contrast and elevate the overall eating experience. As it stands, the crust is serviceable but not memorable.

Toppings Breakdown: Simple, Familiar, and Generous

Where this pizza shines is in its toppings. The smoked bacon is plentiful and delivers a satisfying salty, savory bite that anchors the dish. The egg is the clear standout—fresh, creamy, and slightly runny, it adds richness that spreads naturally across the slice once cut.

Together, the bacon and egg create a comforting flavor combination that feels indulgent without being excessive. The balance leans on ingredient quality rather than heavy seasoning, which aligns well with The Wholesome Table’s organic, clean-food philosophy.

Cheese and Sauce: Clean but Understated

The cheese melts evenly and adds a mild creaminess that complements the toppings without overpowering them. It acts as a quiet binding element rather than the star of the pizza.

The tomato sauce, however, is quite restrained. It lacks the depth or brightness needed to cut through the richness of the bacon and egg. A more flavorful or slightly more seasoned sauce would have helped bring better balance and dimension to the overall bite.

Overall Impression:
This Bacon & Egg Pizza is best suited for diners who value clean, organic ingredients and comforting flavors over bold or experimental execution. The runny egg and generous bacon toppings are genuinely enjoyable, but the softer crust and muted sauce keep it from standing out in a crowded pizza scene.

It’s an honest, average pizza made better by its sourcing and philosophy. If you’re already dining at The Wholesome Table in Mandaluyong, it’s worth trying—especially if ingredient quality matters to you as much as taste.
