Mapo pizza restaurant lunch for two: Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station

On Sunday lunchtime, I visited Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station (핏제리아오 합정역점), tucked into an alley near Hapjeong Station, with my husband. We spent our weekend lunch sharing a burrata salad and two wood-fired pizzas.

How do you get there from Hapjeong Station, and is parking available?

The address is 서울 마포구 양화로11길 14-5 1층, or 14-5 Yanghwa-ro 11-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is 181 m from Exit 2 of Hapjeong Station, set back from the main road in an alley.

For parking, the restaurant directed guests to the paid Homeplus parking lot inside Mecenatpolis. The first 30 minutes are free, but the restaurant does not provide parking vouchers. It resumes service at 5:00 p.m. after its break time, and takeout, delivery, Wi-Fi, reservations, and group seating are available.

What did we order for two, and how much did it cost?

We ordered a burrata salad, Quattro Funghi pizza, and Stella pizza that day. The salad and two pizzas made for a generous meal for two.

• Burrata Salad: ₩22,900
• Quattro Funghi Pizza: ₩19,900
• Stella Pizza: ₩29,900

What was the atmosphere like for a Sunday lunch date?

Being in an alley made it feel quieter than the main road. When we walked in, there was a gentle scent from the oak wood-fired oven.

The interior felt neat and warm. Sunlight came through the floor-to-ceiling windows, brightening the whole restaurant, and it was a nice setting for the two of us to chat over lunch.

What was the wood-fired pizza crust like?

This restaurant serves Neapolitan-style pizza baked in an oak wood-fired oven at about 485°C. The original post also introduces its first-place award at the 2019 Rome Pizza World Cup in Italy.

The crust was crisp on the outside and chewy inside. I especially remembered how the subtle oak aroma in the fermented dough came together with the toppings.

How were the salad and two pizzas?

Was the burrata salad good before the pizza?

The burrata salad came with a whole piece of soft, rich burrata cheese. The slightly bitter wild arugula and fresh cherry tomatoes went well together, making it easy to share before the pizzas arrived.

What flavors did the Quattro Funghi pizza have?

The Quattro Funghi pizza stood out for the flavor and texture of its mushrooms.

It contained four kinds of mushrooms and Grana Padano cheese, and I could smell the truffle oil from the moment it was served.

With each bite, the mushrooms' savory flavor was joined by truffle notes. It was a pizza I enjoyed for its mushroom texture.

What made the star-shaped Stella pizza different?

Stella pizza is Pizzeria O's signature menu item, baked in the shape of a star.

It was topped with prosciutto, crisp arugula, olives, and Parmigiano cheese.

There was cheese inside the star-shaped edges too, so the pizza stayed rich right through to the crust. The richness of the cheese worked well with the fresh flavors of the toppings.

What stayed with me most after the meal?

I had a relaxed meal with my husband in the bright, warm space, and the service was kind. Above all, I remembered the crisp yet chewy crust.

In my case, I still felt comfortable rather than overly full after the meal.

I was happy with the combination of Stella pizza with its cheese-filled edge, Quattro Funghi pizza with truffle aroma and mushroom texture, and the fresh burrata salad.
