How does the hot chili potato & taco half-and-half pizza taste?

Low Five Anguk's half-and-half pizza lives up to the title of a top Bukchon pizza place, and it was overwhelming from the looks alone.

Hot chili potato pizza

The hot chili potato pizza has a sweet-and-spicy chili sauce base, generously topped with crispy fried potatoes.

Take a bite and the crispy-outside, tender-inside potato and the sharp heat blend with the savory cheese, and it's seriously addictive. It practically calls out for a beer or a soda!

Taco pizza, available without cilantro

The taco pizza at Low Five Anguk can be ordered without cilantro, so even people sensitive to herbs and spices can enjoy it without worry.

The dough is loaded with savory seasoned meat, the kind of umami you expect from Mexican tacos, plus fresh toppings. It feels like traveling through America and Mexico at the same time with one pizza, an exotic yet crowd-pleasing flavor that I really liked.

Classic lasagna: is it good with pizza crust dipped in?

We ordered the classic lasagna (₩23,000) because pizza alone felt like a shame, and it earned plenty of praise. Rich, deep meat sauce (ragù) and soft cheese fill every gap between the layers of lasagna pasta.

It came fresh from the oven, golden brown, and the hearty juiciness of the sauce and the flavor of the cheese fill your mouth with satisfaction.

Dipping the end of the pizza crust into the classic lasagna sauce makes a great combination too, so please try it together.

Drinks at Low Five Anguk: grapefruit ade and San Pellegrino

While the pizza and lasagna bring soft, hearty flavors, you need drinks with a fizzy freshness to refresh your mouth :)

The grapefruit ade (₩6,000), with its bittersweet, refreshing fizz, and the San Pellegrino (₩4,000), a clean, classy sparkling water, were a perfect pairing with everything we ordered.

Overall verdict on Low Five Anguk

If you're looking for a pizza place around Anguk Station and Bukchon that has a great mood and solid flavor, Low Five Anguk should be a choice you won't regret.

The trendy space design kept my eyes happy the whole time, and the distinctive half-and-half pizza and high-quality lasagna made my mouth happy too. If you're planning a Bukchon outing or a date, I recommend stopping by at least once!
