5 Mouthwatering Guangzhou Pizza Eateries – That’s Guangzhou
Previously notable for its make-your-own-pizza option (#RIP), The Happy Monk is now worth a visit for the re-designed pizza menu, which features a number of new additions, including the unique buffalo mozzarella pizza with tomato sauce and sweet basil. It's a perfect patio snack while sipping chardonnay with a cute date. There are also some solid pide (Turkey's version of pizza) - the chili-spiced beef is our top pick.
