Hapjeong wine date pizzeria, salmon pizza & white wine: Pizzeria O

My partner and I booked a table at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station (핏제리아오 합정역점) after work on a weekday for wood-fired pizza and pasta, and it was a return visit. It's an easy place for a casual Western-style lunch, but the wood-fired pizza topped with salmon is what really made it a standout. In the evening it's a perfect date spot to pair with wine or a draft beer. I'd recommend it for anniversaries or blind dates too~

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station hours, parking and reservations

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00–21:30, and closed on Mondays. There's no parking, so you'll need a nearby paid lot. Takeout and Naver reservations are available, as are group bookings for 4 or 6.

The restaurant is just a short walk from Mangwon/Hapjeong Station Exit 2 toward Hongdae, so it's easy to reach by public transport. Pizzeria O has quite a few other branches too, so it's a Western restaurant I end up revisiting.

Where is Pizzeria O near Hapjeong Station, and what's the vibe?

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is on the ground floor of a building close to Mangwon and Hapjeong, so it's easy to find. Parking around Hapjeong Station is tough, so I'd recommend going by public transport.

The inside is mostly tables for four. Maybe because we went late on a weekday evening, most of the other diners were couples on dates! It's also a place with plenty of repeat customers from the neighborhood, plus lots of takeout and delivery orders.

Cucumber pickles and jalapeños, the essentials of any Western meal, come out by default. They seem great for cleansing the palate when things get a bit rich~

Unlike other pizza places, Pizzeria O has lots of signature dishes. There are salads and pastas to go with them too, so it's a great spot for either lunch or dinner.

What we ordered for two: a signature pizza and ragu pasta

We came on a date, so we ordered one signature pizza and a ragu pasta~ Both are Western dishes that go well with a glass of wine.

Smoked salmon pizza: does salmon really work on pizza?

Pizzeria O's salmon pizza is ₩28,900, a wood-fired pizza with smoked salmon, arugula and cherry tomatoes, finished with balsamic and lemon zest. The short version: the salty salmon and fresh toppings were a great combination.

We were torn between this and the one with prosciutto, but the salmon seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, so we unanimously ordered the salmon pizza.

At first I wondered whether salmon on a pizza would really work, but there's a reason it supposedly took first place at an Italian world championship. The combination of salty smoked salmon, arugula, cherry tomatoes, balsamic and lemon zest was excellent.

Above all, smoked salmon and white wine go so well together that this was the perfect dish for an evening date!

Is the fresh-pasta ragu portion big enough?

The ragu pasta at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is a fresh-pasta collaboration with Chef Lee Jun, at ₩29,900 per the original caption. I figured fresh pasta would be a small portion, but it was generous and great for two to share.

When I saw the fresh pasta on the menu I couldn't not order it, so we added the ragu pasta too.

I thought fresh pasta would mean a small portion, but it was so generous that it was perfect for sharing between two..!! It would also make a hearty lunch in Hapjeong.

The chewy fresh noodles with the meat-packed ragu sauce worked so well together that pretty much anyone would enjoy it, no hit-or-miss.

Pizzeria O's glass of white wine and soft drink refills

We casually ordered a glass of white wine at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station, and the pour was generous. Soft drinks come with one refill.

I've never seen a place pour that much for a glass of wine..! Soft drinks also get one refill, so I'd recommend ordering one with your Western meal~

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station: the verdict for a wine date

• Value: Classic wood-fired pizzas from ₩17,900, and the salmon and arugula combination was especially good!
• Portions: For two, I recommend one pizza plus one pasta! The fresh pasta portion is big too, so you'll leave full
• Atmosphere: Good for anniversaries, blind dates, wedding-invitation get-togethers, or a casual lunch date
