Has anyone been to Batanes? There's this online report that there is a joint there that is selling great tasting pizzas.

The best pizza is hidden in Batanes



On rainy days when the wind is wild, I miss Batanes the most. I miss the rolling hills and the green that tumbles into the sea. And the pizza.

I know that makes very little sense, at first. After all, how does one go to the northernmost tip of the country, famed for its natural beauty and picture-perfect spots, and return home with memories of great pizza?

On our first day on Basco island, we asked a friend who had spent the previous summer there to recommend a good place to eat. When he told us we had to try the pizza at Casa Napoli, we were puzzled, to say the least. It felt like looking for fast food while traveling. We were looking forward to local dishes, like Uvud (made with pork, flying fish and banana trunk) and Venus (dried gabi). We were also told to try the famed Coconut Crab, or Tatus, which we had been told were the tastiest crabs on the planet.
