Sean's Brick Oven Pizza in Butuan

 A Delicious Experience at Sean's Brick Oven Pizza in Butuan

Food has a special way of turning an ordinary day into something memorable, and that’s exactly what happened on April 10, 2023, when we decided to try Sean's Brick Oven Pizza in Butuan. This visit came after an unexpected detour—my pamangkin, Miles, had just undergone a tooth extraction at Dental Clinic in SM Butuan, and we were looking for a place to relax and enjoy a good meal. Given that we had heard great things about Sean’s Brick Oven Pizza, it felt like the perfect time to give it a try.

First Impressions: A Cozy and Inviting Ambiance

At that time, Sean's Brick Oven Pizza was still located in front of Gaisano Butuan. The restaurant had a cozy and welcoming ambiance that made us feel at ease the moment we walked in. It was fully air-conditioned, which was a relief after spending time outside in the warm Butuan weather. However, for those who prefer an open-air dining experience, they also had outdoor seating available.

We initially chose to sit outside to enjoy the fresh air, but as fate would have it, the rain started pouring, so we had to move inside. Luckily, the indoor dining area on the second floor provided a comfortable space where we could enjoy our meal peacefully. One unique feature of the restaurant was that the pizza-making process was visible from the ground floor. Watching the skilled chefs prepare and bake pizzas in their authentic brick oven added to the excitement of the experience.

The Food: A Perfect Blend of Flavors

Of course, the highlight of our visit was the food—and Sean’s Brick Oven Pizza did not disappoint! We decided to go for their signature pizza and carbonara, two of our all-time favorite dishes.

Pizza: A Slice of Perfection

The brick oven pizza was everything we hoped for—crispy on the outside, yet soft and flavorful on the inside. Each bite had the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings, baked to perfection in their traditional brick oven. The smoky, slightly charred crust added an authentic touch that set it apart from regular oven-baked pizzas. It was clear that they used fresh ingredients, and the taste reflected the quality and care put into every slice.

Carbonara: A Creamy Delight

As someone who absolutely loves carbonara, I was thrilled to find that Sean’s version was exactly how I wanted it to be. It was perfectly seasoned, creamy without being overpowering, and had just the right balance of cheese, bacon, and pasta. The sauce had that rich, velvety texture that makes a carbonara dish stand out. Every bite was satisfying, and I found myself wanting more even after I had finished my plate.

Service and Overall Experience

Aside from the great food and cozy ambiance, the service at Sean’s Brick Oven Pizza was also commendable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making sure that we were comfortable throughout our meal. Despite the rain and our sudden change of seating, they handled everything smoothly, ensuring that we had a pleasant dining experience.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for both family gatherings and casual hangouts with friends. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a relaxing meal, Sean’s Brick Oven Pizza provides the perfect setting.

A Simple Yet Memorable Day

After finishing our meal, we headed to Gaisano Butuan to buy some groceries before finally making our way home. What started as a simple day of errands and a post-dental visit for Miles turned into a memorable dining experience, thanks to Sean’s Brick Oven Pizza.

Final Thoughts: A Must-Try for Pizza and Pasta Lovers

Our visit to Sean's Brick Oven Pizza was a delightful experience that we would gladly repeat. The combination of delicious food, warm ambiance, and great service made it a standout among the restaurants we’ve tried in Butuan.
