The Pillow Pizza

You might have seen the square pizza, heart-shaped pizza or others which was rolled up like burrito. Yet a "pillow pizza" may be out of our imagination when encountering this name for the first time. This special cuisine gets its name from the extraordinarily unique shape. Plump, bulging with sweet-potato-like shape, the pillow pizza is highly recommended by the people who had been to the Shu-Guo restaurant. The food is not only famous for its unusual shape but also the tasty inner filling: vegetable, mushroom with flavored pesto. Every bite contains flavorsome creamy inner stuffing and soft but edge-crispy pastry. 

The size of the pizza is quite big: three fists big are possible to fill in an empty crust; people who choose the set menu with pillow pizza should come with an "empty, unfilled" belly. 

I did not order this one but one of my friend who chose this set meal ended up leaving the whole empty-filling pastry for she couldn't finish the entire pillow. 

Another type of pizza is made in flat and oval shape. This one is more like the typical pizza we have known except for the lettuce and tomato are topped after the crust is baked. The pastry is more chewier than the previous one: the sweetness of pastry you may taste while chewing. Another distinction is that the pastry is added with little sweet sauce on the surface of the crust. The fresh vegetable provide a distinctive and gentle flavor from the creamy pillow. People who prefer to have a mild and original taste should never miss this one. 

The size is also big: two-palms length long. I didn't finish all either. 

The set meal include the appetizer such as fruit and yogurt salad or vegetable with thousand island dressing, soup including mushroom or pumpkin, a cup of rough rice and then drinks and desserts. The restaurant called Shu-Guo which has only 8 branches in Taiwan. The new chain on Chung Kong road was just open this summer. People live in Taichung should make sure that you don't miss this delicious pillow.
