Food News: Kick Off the Holiday Season with Yellow Cab's New Christmas Fleet Promo Plus New Ice Cream Flavor

The "ber" months are here, and the holiday season has officially begun. And to jump start the holiday season, Yellow Cab launches its new Christmas Fleet holiday promo, special combo packages for groups with Yellow Cab's signature dishes offering superior value. Plus, Yellow Cab is now serving a brand new ice cream flavor just for the holiday season. Two cool new offerings fit for the ultimate season of celebrations...after all, 'tis the season for great pizza.

Since 2001, the Yellow Cab Pizza Co. has been specializing in authentic New York style pizza, and over the years has grown to over 90 outlets nationwide (including three overseas branches) serving its trademark pizzas and a continuously expanding menu. 

When I was invited along with other bloggers to sample the new Christmas Fleet package and the new ice cream flavor, I had no second thoughts and immediately confirmed. Yellow Cab, after all, is in my personal list of top pizzas. As I entered the Yellow Cab outlet at Eastwood Citywalk, I couldn't help but notice one of Yellow Cab's specialty pizzas rolling off the conveyor oven...

...and seeing the pizza slowly roll out, still bubbling, was simply amazing.

As Yellow Cab's expert pizza crew at Eastwood Citywalk masterfully prepped the specialty pizza in the trademark open kitchen, I knew this was just a prelude to  more good things to come. I've always associated pizza with fun times, and this was going to be one of those times. 

And pizza is a lot more fun when shared with friends and family, specially this holiday season. Yellow Cab's Christmas Fleet promo offers cool packages for groups of five (P 1,300) and ten (P 2,450) all the way until January 15, 2013, for dine-in, take-out, and delivery. And here's the cool part, included in this combo is Yellow Cab's new ice cream flavor. Curious? Read on...

Yellow Cab's Christmas Fleet combos come in four options offering different combinations for groups of five and ten. The specific options are as follows:

Christmas Fleet A's Good for 5 package consists of one 14-inch Pizza (choose one of three specialty pizzas), two sets of pasta (choose two of three signature pasta dishes), one pitcher of Coca-Cola (for dine-in) or one 1.5L Cocoa-Cola (for take-out and delivery), and two 1 pint cans of ice cream (choose from five flavors, including the new ice cream flavor).

The Good for 10 package bundles together one 18-inch Pizza, three sets of pasta, two orders of Baked Potato Wedges, two pitchers of Coca-Cola (for dine-in) or two bottles of 1.5L Coca-Cola (for take-out and delivery), and four 1 pint cans of Yellow Cab ice cream. 

And if you want some of Yellow Cab's Chicken Wings in the mix,  there are more options...

Christmas Fleet B's Good for 5 package includes one 14-inch Pizza, one Fleet Starters, one pitcher of Coca-Cola (for dine-in) or one1.5 L Coca-Cola (for take-out and delivery) and two 1 pint cans of Yellow Cab ice cream.

The Good for 10 package features one 18-inch Pizza, twelve pieces of Hot Wings, two orders of Baked Potato Wedges, two pitchers of Coca-Cola (for dine-in) or two bottles of 1.5 L Coca-Cola (for take-out and delivery) and four 1 pint cans of Yellow Cab ice cream. 

Now the fun part. You can select and customize your very own Christmas Fleet combo to include your favorite Yellow Cab items, with three specialty pizzas and pastas to choose from, including four current ice cream flavors plus the new ice cream flavor too. And here are your choices...  

Yellow Cab's Barbecue Chicken, with BBQ Chicken Strips, red onions in a hickory-smoked barbecue sauce topped with fresh cilantro leaves...

...the signature Manhattan Meatlovers, a personal favorite, generously topped with ham, pepperoni, Italian Sausage, ground beef, salami and bacon...

...or you can choose the The Four Seasons, four classic Yellow Cab pizza flavors in one awesome pizza, the NY Classic, 4 Cheese, Anchovy Lovers, and Roasted Garlic and Shrimp. That's three amazing pizzas to choose from for your Christmas Fleet package. For pasta, you can choose any of the three Yellow Cab favorites...

The Chicken Alfredo Pasta, sauteed tender chicken strips and black olives tossed in a smooth and creamy white sauce garnished with fresh basil...

...the classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, an old favorite of mine, with two large meatballs baked and simmered in a chunky red wine tomato sauce... 

...or the Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta, tender chicken strips, shiitake mushrooms and roasted peanuts sauteed in a spicy oriental sauce garnished with spring onions. Depending on the combo you choose, you can have Yellow Cab's awesome Chicken Wings or Potato Wedges... 

...just perfect with the pizza and pasta...

...crisp and juicy Chicken Wings with hearty Potato Wedges or chips, ideal for the gang or family.

And now we come to the new Yellow Cab ice cream flavor...Serendipity, a smooth and creamy New York Cheesecake-inspired treat marbled with chewy graham cookie bits, a perfect dessert for the holidays, and an appropriate choice consistent with Yellow Cab's New York style. Serendipity simply complements and completes your Christmas Fleet experience, a sweet and satisfying finish to your Yellow Cab meal. 

The richness of the ice cream makes this an indulgent and perfect way to cap one's Yellow Cab's Christmas Fleet package. Smooth and creamy, but not too sweet, with the graham cookie bits adding flavor and texture. Serendipity is currently available, and will soon be available in special green tins. Current flavors include Chocolate, Pistachio, Vanilla and Strawberry. Note that the new Serendipity flavor will only be available until January 15, 2013, so I suggest you give this a try soon.

Overall, Yellow Cab's Christmas Fleet's packages offers all the best of Yellow Cab's signature dishes ideal for groups or family meals during the holiday season. And best of all, you can customize the package with your favorite pizza, pasta and ice cream flavors. And the new Serendipity ice cream is just the perfect ending to this awesome meal. Great food and great value, one of the best deals this season.
