Watching NCCC Ma-a Slowly Come to Life

There’s something satisfying about watching a new mall fill in piece by piece.

NCCC Ma-a has been opening stores gradually and I’m excited to see the mall restored back to its old glory. We were invited to the opening of the 2-in-1 Angel’s Pizza and Figaro Coffee store last February 3, 2025.

The location alone tells you exactly what it wants to be: an easy stop whether you’re heading in, heading out, or pretending you just need “one quick thing” from the mall.

First Look: A Convenient 2-in-1 Stop for Meals or Coffee

The Angel’s Pizza and Figaro Coffee branch sits near the mall entrance, which makes it surprisingly practical.

If you want a full meal, Angel’s is right there. If you only need coffee or a quick dessert break, Figaro handles that without requiring a second stop somewhere else inside. It works for:

• quick lunches before errands
• casual meetups where no one wants to overplan
• coffee after grocery runs
• waiting for a ride while sitting somewhere comfortable

What to Order at Angel’s Pizza

Angel’s Pizza has always leaned into indulgent, shareable comfort food, and this branch delivers the same familiar menu.

If it’s your first time or you just want the safe favorite, the Creamy Spinach Dip Pizza still deserves the hype. It’s rich, cheesy, and built for sharing, the sort of order that disappears faster than expected once everyone grabs a slice.

Here’s what you can order:

• classic and specialty pizzas
• pasta and chicken for heavier meals
• sides that make it easy to turn a snack into a full lunch

It’s straightforward comfort food, which honestly makes sense for a mall branch you’ll likely visit more than once.

Coffee and Slow Moments at Figaro Coffee

The Figaro Coffee inside also gives the space a softer, café-style balance.

Figaro has always been that dependable Filipino café where you can sit down with a latte, a slice of cake, or even a full rice meal if you stayed longer than planned. At NCCC Ma-a, it fills that same role.

Expect:

• espresso drinks and classic coffee options
• pastries and cakes for merienda
• light meals if you want something simple
• a relaxed place to sit while the mall buzzes around you

It’s easy to imagine grabbing pizza with friends, then sliding into coffee mode without needing to relocate.

Why You Should Check It Out

For people who live or pass through the Ma-a area often, convenience matters more than novelty.

Having a recognizable pizza spot and a reliable café right at the entrance means NCCC Ma-a now has a built-in food anchor. You don’t need to explore the whole mall to find somewhere decent to eat or sit. You already know where to go the moment you walk in.

Is It Worth Stopping By?

If you’re planning a visit to NCCC Ma-a, this 2-in-1 Angel’s Pizza and Figaro Coffee setup is an easy first stop or last stop.

It covers both moods: a proper comfort meal or a slower coffee break. And because it’s right by the entrance, it fits naturally into whatever your mall day looks like.

If you check it out, tell me what you tried first. Pizza immediately, or coffee after?
