On July 4 and 5, 2026, the resort will host its highly anticipated Pizza Festival, a lively event dedicated to celebrating authentic Neapolitan cuisine. Guests can look forward to savoring hand-crafted pizzas cooked in traditional wood-fired ovens, accompanied by live culinary demonstrations that showcase the artistry of pizza-making.

Savor the Flavors of Naples at Tambuli Seaside Resort & Spa
Widely regarded as the birthplace of pizza, Naples boasts a rich culinary heritage renowned for transforming simple, fresh ingredients into iconic dishes. The city’s traditional pizzerias craft pizzas like the classic Margherita, featuring a delicate crust topped with ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves, and the flavorful Marinara, distinguished by its robust garlic and aromatic oregano. Neapolitan pizzas have become powerful symbols of Italian culinary excellence, cherished and enjoyed by enthusiasts worldwide.
Tambuli’s Pizza Festival will turn the resort’s spacious dining area into a lively Italian street food market by the seaside. Guests can watch talented pizzaiolos prepare fresh pizzas at live stations, skillfully tossing dough and adding toppings. Near these stations, specialty food booths serve authentic Italian treats, from crispy arancini to creamy gelato. The vibrant setting reflects the lively, colorful spirit of Southern Italy’s bustling piazzas, inviting visitors to enjoy an authentic Mediterranean experience.
The heart of the festival showcases the iconic Neapolitan pizzas, each a culinary masterpiece rooted in centuries of tradition and made with the freshest ingredients. Guests can enjoy the legendary Margherita, topped with vibrant San Marzano tomatoes, authentic buffalo mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves that release their aromatic scent. The spicy and bold Diavola features slices of fiery salami and a hint of chili, stimulating the palate. The earthy Quattro Formaggi combines four rich, melted cheeses into a creamy, decadent blend. The classic Marinara, one of the oldest Neapolitan varieties, is simply seasoned with pungent garlic, fragrant oregano, and high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Every pizza is carefully crafted in the traditional Neapolitan style — a thin, blistered crust that bubbles with flavor, delivering an explosion of taste in every bite.
The event begins at 5:00 PM on both nights, giving attendees a perfect chance to enjoy the beautiful Cebu sunset while sampling a variety of tasty foods and drinks, making for an unforgettable, scenic dining experience.
Flexibility is central to the Pizza Festival, creating a customized culinary experience. Guests can enjoy their favorite pizzas and side dishes à la carte over the two-day event, allowing them to explore and mix flavors at their own pace. For those wanting a more luxurious option, a special dinner buffet will be held on July 4, featuring a variety of carefully crafted dishes. Priced at PHP2,200 nett per person, this buffet offers a fantastic chance to indulge in gourmet pizzas, salads, desserts, and drinks in a casual and friendly atmosphere.
Reservations are highly recommended to guarantee your spot at the exclusive July 4 buffet evening, which offers a selection of delicious dishes and festive celebrations.
