Handuraw Pizza

Handuraw — Cebuano for "the power to imagine" — was founded in 2004 by the Pestaño-Smith family as a small events café in Mabolo, Cebu City. What started as a place for thin-crust pizza and acoustic nights became one of Cebu's most beloved institutions for live music and community. Over the years, Handuraw has been a launchpad for local musicians — hosting acoustic sets on weekday evenings, live bands every Friday and Saturday, and community events like Quiz Night and Handuraw Singalong. It's where artists play their first gigs, bands find their audience, and friendships are made over slices. Now based in Subangdaku, Mandaue City, Handuraw continues to champion the local scene under the belief that drives everything we do: Peace. Love. Pizza. #WeLoveLocal Local. by Handuraw is our way of taking that same spirit online — a free, curated directory for the entire Cebu music ecosystem.
